Kardashian fans floored after Kim hires Snoop Dogg and his entire family to model new Skims campaign
KARDASHIAN fans have been floored after Kim hires Snoop Dogg and his entire family to model for her new Skims campaign.
The Hulu star revealed the shapewear brand’s new models with a series of photos shared on her Instagram Thursday.
Kim, 42, announced the collaboration with the Hip-Hop icon with a post that read: “Introducing Snoop Dogg & Family for Skims.”
The InstaStory photo captured the rapper and three generations of his family dressed in the Skims’ loungewear line’s “Cozy Knit” pullovers, joggers, and robes.
The Keeping Up With the Kardashians alum followed up the introduction with several photos featuring Snoop, 51, and kin modeling various “Fleece” and “Cozy” color options.
In a separate post, Kim explained: “Introducing the SKIMS Holiday campaign, starring @SnoopDogg alongside his wife, children, and grandchildren.

She continued: “The cultural icon and three generations of his family are shot together for the first time, wearing our signature Cozy collection.”
Fans rushed to the post’s comment section to give their take on the new campaign as well other topical events.
One person commented: “LIVING FOR THIS.”
Another fan wrote: “THIS CAMPAIGN IS EVERYTHING!!!!”
While others added: “So good,” and “This!!!!!”
The comment section was also littered with “#cancelbalenciaga” remarks and accusations like: “WOW, does she really want to take the spotlight off what’s going on and try to save herself with Snoop?”
ADDRESSING SCANDAL
Kim recently broke her silence on the scandal-ridden brand, Balenciaga, in a statement that fans slammed.
The luxury company received backlash after they ran ads of children holding BDSM accessories.
Kim wrote on Sunday to Twitter: “I have been quiet for the past few days, not because I haven’t been disgusted and outraged by the recent Balenciaga campaigns, but because I wanted an opportunity to speak to their team to understand for myself how this could have happened.
“As a mother of four, I have been shaken by the disturbing images.
“The safety of children must be held with the highest regard and any attempts to normalize child abuse of any kind should have no place in our society — period.”
“I appreciate Balenciaga’s removal of the campaigns and apology. In speaking with them, I believe they understand the seriousness of the issue and will take the necessary measures for this to never happen again,” the Hulu star concluded.
‘CUTTING TIES OR NOT?’
Kardashian fans, however, were not buying it as one angry follower replied: “This is laughable at best. And it’s only because they cut you a check- quit playing.”
“I can see now why Kanye [West] wants to protect his kids at all costs! Pathetic statement!” wrote another.
“So are you cutting ties with them?” asked a third as Kim has partnered with the fashion house for years.
A fourth similarly wondered: “Will you still represent them?”
Another critic chimed in: “I don’t believe that you’re being sincere at all. I think you were just hoping that it would blow over. Seems like it’s more about money for you.”
When another asked what they expected Kim to do, someone else wrote: “She could’ve immediately QUIT, and she didn’t need to check with the team or a lawyer as a mother she should’ve been outraged. You’re putting her on a pedestal it’s gross.”
‘RE-EVALUATING’
An hour later, Kim responded again with another tweet.
“As for my future with Balenciaga, I am currently re-evaluating my relationship with the brand, basing it off their willingness to accept accountability for something that should have never happened to begin with — & the actions I am expecting to see them take to protect children.”
Balenciaga has not issued a statement of their own.
Amid the drama, Kim was slammed for seemingly standing by the brand after the reality star shared a photo of herself sporting pieces from the Adidas x Balenciaga collaboration.
Kim’s ex Kanye West, 45, was recently dropped by both brands following shocking comments.
PUZZLED PLAYER
Snoop Dogg recently shocked fans with his wild answers during the season 3 premiere of Celebrity Wheel of Fortune.
Viewers have since begged for the 51-year-old rapper to be on “every night” of the game show after being unable to stop laughing over his “hilarious” missolves.
Throughout the episode, Snoop had his fellow contestants, as well as fans at home, cracking up over his gameplay.
The rapper had quite a few incorrect answers, but it was just how far off he was with those responses that sent everyone over the edge.
For one puzzle, he guessed, “Baking onions,” instead of the correct answer of “Baking brownies.”
He looked pained by his failure to get this one, in particular, right, with fellow contestant Amanda Seales even telling the rapper: “You should know that! That’s your whole bag!’
While another contestant, Mark Duplass, joked: “Martha [Stewart] is gonna be disappointed. Martha’s gonna be upset!”
Some of Snoop’s other incorrect solves included “Toilet atlas,” “Swallowing the not,” and “Airport teacher.”
Each one had Celeb Wheel of Fortune viewers and the stars, alike, cracking up over their absurdities.
One fan joked: “@celebritywof BAKING ONIONS will be on both the highlight and blooper reel for a long time.”
Another wrote: “Snoop’s guesses on #CelebrityWheelofFortune were truly next-level hilarious.”
A third guessed: “Pretty sure the record is being broken for the most incorrect solve attempts in a single episode of Wheel. #CelebrityWheelOfFortune”
“I haven’t laughed this hard in so long, snoop made this whole show tonight and his answers were hilarious, put him on again,” a fourth shared.
One called this “one of the FUNNIEST episodes of #CelebrityWheelOfFortune EVER.”
While another insisted Snoop “has been an absolute treasure and should be on again and again and again!!”
