Speaking to Khloe on the latest episode of The Kardashians, she told them:

"He walked out on SNL like mid-monologue, so I haven’t talked to him since. He’s upset at the fact that I said, “the reason I divorced him”, and used the word “divorced”… So he wished I said the word “filed” for divorce".

"He was upset that I also said he was a rapper. He said, “I’m so much more than a rapper, I can’t believe you said rapper" she continued.

"I sat there through so many speeches and things that haven't been the most comfortable for me. But that was my partner and I stood by him, I would never embarrass him and walk out".

Kim continued "That’s the thing, when he doesn’t get… He’s so used to getting exactly what he wants. I’ve never seen anything like it. But good for him. It’s not going to happen here".

During her monologue she joked about their marriage to the rapper, saying:

"I’ve been very blessed in this life, and I’m grateful for everything. All the ups, all the downs. I married the best rapper of all time".

"Not only that, he’s also the richest Black man in America. A talented legit genius who gave me four incredible kids. So when I divorced him, you have to know it came down to just one thing… his personality".
