After being part of the Kardashian family for nearly five years, rapper, Kanye West is finally becoming a major star of Keeping Up With the Kardashians.
According to insiders, Kris Jenner is hoping that the rapper’s new role will increase ratings and save the show.
An insider is quoted as saying:
“Kanye is really in creative control of content for season 16, and that is why viewers saw such a different level of production value in the premiere episode,”
“Kris has decided to let him take the reign a bit, and she is just praying that his vision boosts ratings! He is telling her that things need to change, and she is putting her own vision aside for a minute to let him hop in.”
During the Season 16 premiere, West made his first confessional alongside his wife, Kim Kardashian.
The couple announced that they are expecting baby number four, and then the couple travelled to his hometown of Chicago to show his childhood home to North.
The 41-year-old also had to settle things with fellow rapper Rhymefest, and he showed off his renovation project, the Regal Theater.
In addition to his new role onKUWK, Kanye has been holding Sunday church services every week which Kim calls a “healing experience” and he is bringing the service to Coachella this year.
Kim says that she is excited for Kanye to perform at Coachella but when it comes to the church service, it will be all music and no sermon.
