What was Kanye West’s lyric about Irina Shayk?
Back in 2010 Kanye West released his song “Calvin Klein Denim Flow“, which featured a lyric about Irina Shayk, who he is now reportedly dating nearly 11 years later.
The lyric was: “All the models to the floor right now. I wanna see Irina Shayk next to Doutzen [Kroes].”
That’s not all. Irina appeared in Kanye’s music video for another song, “Power” in the same year. In the video, Irina plays Kanye’s queen, or muse, and is seated in front of him with large golden wings on her back.
Two years later, Irina was cast in Kanye’s Fall 2012 runway show at Paris Fashion Week.
At the time, Irina told PopSugar: “I consider Kanye West to be one of those rare people that bring new ideas into the world. He brought art into music, and now he is releasing his passion for fashion and I think that it’s absolutely amazing!”
Kanye West reportedly dating Irina Shayk
Kanye West and Irina Shayk have been spotted together in France as the rapper celebrates his 44th birthday.
An insider told US Magazine that “Kanye and Irina [are] dating. They’ve been quietly seeing each other for a couple months.”
Another source told People: “She seems smitten. He invited her to France and she happily accepted. They are not officially dating, but there is an interest from both sides.”
Irina shares a daughter with actor Bradley Cooper. In 2020, Irina spoke about her split with Bradley in British Vogue. She said:
“I think in all good relationships you bring your best and your worst — it’s just the nature of a human being. Two great people don’t have to make a good couple. I think we’ve been very lucky to experience what we had with each other.”
