Kim Kardashian has revealed husband Kanye West wrote her a cheque for $1 million (£769,000) in a bid to stop her promoting another brand.

The TV personality has told how her other half asked her to turn down a lucrative offer from an unnamed fashion brand and gave her the large sum as a 'thank you'.

Speaking to Ashley Graham during her new podcast Pretty Big Deal, Kardashian explained: “He's like the cutest.

“A brand offered me a million dollars to do a post on some of their clothing and they typically—I don't want to say who the brand is—but they typically knock off Yeezy.”

She added: “Mother's Day was, like, the next week. Mother's Day comes and he happened to be recording out of town and I get my flowers and then I get an envelope delivered to the door.

“I opened the envelope and it was a million dollar check with a note saying thank you for always supporting me and not posting.

“In the rest of the envelope, it was a contract to be an owner of Yeezy—to have my percentage. And that was my Mother's Day present.”

The comments come after the mother-of-three defended husband Kanye West after he hit the headlines yet again for a string of political tweets.

Kardashian, who tied the knot with West in 2014, proved she is well and truly behind her husband as she shared a sweet shot of them staring lovingly at each other on her social media channels.

The reality star captioned the shot with “We Got Love” in between two red hearts.

The 37-year-old also revealed that West’s album Yandhi has been pushed back until Black Friday next month.
