Kanye West Let Elevator Doors Close on Kim Kardashian, and Twitter Has Thoughts
Awkward PDA might need to be the next item on Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s trademark list.
Just four days after sharing a hilarious Jumbotron moment at the NBA All-Star game on Sunday, February 16, Kimye is at it again. To recap, Kim went in for a less-than-ideal cheek-kiss after her rapper husband failed to notice her attempts at sharing a smooch. Twitter, of course, found the whole thing too funny.
Now it looks as though Kanye West is doing his best to make up for the unintentional slight, but it didn’t exactly work out that way. While in Paris for Fashion Week, Kim shared an Instagram Stories video of her and Kanye kissing in one of those panoramic elevators that make most people awkwardly question what to do with their hands. The couple, however, were totally at ease, knowing someone was there to capture the moment. Kanye seems to tell the videographer, “This one was it,” and nod when they ask, “Does this one work?” Not exactly a candid moment, I guess.
That’s not even the part that has folks cringing. Many commenters on a fan account noticed that he left Kim to collect the shopping bags, even as the elevator doors began to close. “I really hate the fact he didn’t get the bags,” commented one Instagram user. That sentiment was pretty much shared by fans on Twitter.
Not everyone, though, was convinced Kanye needed roasting. “If those her clothes then those her bags,” one commenter pointed out. To be fair, there were only two!
At this point I’m kind of convinced the Kardashian-Wests are trolling fans with all these viral moments. Earlier this February, Kim purposely responded to fans who question her home’s minimal aesthetic by debuting a wild playroom with a full-on mini supermarket and concert stage.
“You guys always say my house is so minimal—well, you guys haven’t seen my playroom,” she said on her Instagram story before giving a tour of every child’s dreamland. It sounds like she and Kanye are having just as much fun with all of this as their Internet critics. Who knows what they’ll think up next?
