Kylie Jenner of Keeping Up With The Kardashians is the youngest and wealthiest of the Kardashian-Jenner empire. She gets more than enough press through her famous family's hit reality show and her success as a beauty mogul. However, she's been in more media headlines following the release of Tory Lanez's controversial new album DAYSTAR. For fans who are confused about why she was name-dropped by the Toronto rapper, here's a little breakdown.
KUWTK fans have watched Kylie grow up from the 10-year-old she was when the show began, to the 23-year-old almost billionaire she is today. After launching her makeup brand with the fast-selling lip kits in 2015, she has since grown Kylie Cosmetics into a full-on beauty and skincare empire. Her successful run in reality TV and in business has made her one of the most popular among her famous siblings. Always at the center of attention, Kylie's prominence landed her a major cameo in Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion's hit music video, "WAP." It was during the video shoot when she and Meg struck up a friendship of sorts.
Following the video shoot, Kylie hosted a pool party at her Hollywood Hills home and reportedly invited the Houston rapper and her friend Tory Lanez. There are mixed reports about the events leading up to the July 12 incident, but it ultimately took a turn for the worse. Megan and Tory ended up in a domestic dispute that resulted in the "SAVAGE" rapper getting shot. While Meg has since come forward with claims that Tory shot her, the Canada native had remained silent up until Thursday night when he released his DAYSTAR album addressing the claims. It's on the song "Queen and Slim" where Tory reveals his attraction to Kylie.
“Me and Kylie still off in the pool / We just chillin’, kickin’ sh*t, was cool / Both of us didn’t know you was trippin’," Lanez raps in the song. The lyrics seemingly reference the pool party he was at with Megan and Kylie. Sources claim the two rappers began arguing after Tory spent time hanging out with the Life of Kylie star. “Even though I got a crush on Kylie, I woulda left with you if I knew you was dippin’ for the simple reason / You invited me but I can’t act like shawty didn’t excite me,” Tory added.
While the details remain scarce, Megan has accused Tory of shooting her in her foot after the two left the party. Kylie was not in the car when the alleged shooting took place. But, her name being mentioned by Tory appears to confirm the reports that the rapper's attraction to the reality star caused tension between him and Megan. No word from Kylie on if the feelings are mutual.
