KEY POINTS

  • Kanye West confessed that he had a crush on Anastasia Karanikolaou, Kylie Jenner's best friend
  • The 45-year-old Yeezy founder claimed that he had asked Balenciaga's Johan Fleury, to "sneak" her in
  • The revelation came after Khloe Kardashian called him out for his recent attack against the Kardashians

Kanye West's social media rampage turned into a shocking "crush" confession.

The 45-year-old rapper-turned-designer took to Instagram to admit that he had been crushing on his former sister-in-law Kylie Jenner's best friend, Anastasia "Stassie" Karanikolaou, 25, amid the ongoing divorce drama and custody rights issues with his ex-wife, Kim Kardashian.

In a since-deleted post, West wrote, "THE WHOLE WORLD KNOWS I GOT A CRUSH ON STAS," alongside a picture of the Kylie Cosmetics founder getting ready for Balenciaga's Paris Fashion Week show on Sunday, according to Page Six.

West, who now goes by Ye, further claimed that he also convinced Balenciaga's VIP and couture relations director, Johan Fleury, to "sneak" the blue-eyed model into the brand's "Mud Show," where the "Donda" rapper made his runway debut.

Although the luxury brand did not officially confirm the Yeezy founder's claims, it seemed that Karanikolaou was invited as a guest to the fashion show since she expressed her gratitude toward Balenciaga on Instagram for "having" her during the event.

"A dream is an understatement. Thank you @balenciaga for having me. THE MUD SHOW @demna," Karanikolaou wrote. At the event, the model sported an all-black outfit, including a hoodie paired with tight pants, heeled boots and an over-the-shoulder purse.

Famous Hollywood personalities, including Jenner, Karanikolau and Khloe Kardashian, were spotted during Balenciaga's show, which happed a day before West released the controversial "White Lives Matter" T-shirt during his secret catwalk presentation for his Yeezy Season 9 collection on Monday.

While the "Gold Digger" rapper ranted on social media and defended his stance on the launch of the long-sleeved garment after receiving backlash, he raised an unrelated concern that caused an online feud with the 38-year-old Good American founder.

Fan account @commentsbycelebs was able to take a screenshot of the since-deleted post of the musician, where Khloe called him out for his behavior.

West claimed that everyone was "attacking" him about the t-shirt and having a "different political opinion" but was silent when he publicly announced that the Kardashian family was keeping him "from seeing his daughter," referencing the controversy where he was allegedly uninvited to his 4-year-old daughter Chicago's birthday party earlier this year.

"For all my audience so outraged about my t-shirt, where [were] you when I couldn't see my kids," West wrote. The rapper and the Skims founder share four children, Chicago, 9-year-old daughter North, 6-year-old son Saint, and 3-year-old son Psalm.

Khloe didn't hold back on addressing West's claims, saying that she didn't intend to comment on social media, but the rapper kept bringing up the issue and "everyone's tired of it."

"You are the father of my nieces and nephews, and I'm trying to be respectful, but please STOP tearing Kimberly down and using our family when you want to deflect," the reality star begged.

She continued, "You know exactly where your children are at all times, and YOU wanted separate birthdays," adding that she had seen the "texts" to prove her claims.

Khloe also pointed out that her sister has been taking care of their children "80% of the time," so she asked the musician to "leave [Kim] and the family out of it so that the kids can be raised peacefully."

Despite Khloe's confrontation, the rapper still debunked the accusations on his Instagram account on Wednesday by including a screenshot of the reality star's comment and calling the Kardashian family "liars" who "basically kidnapped Chicago on her birthday," Billboard reported.

West has since deleted most of his posts on Instagram.
