The glue that holds them together is their children, who share an incredibly special bond with both parents. Kim Kardashian appreciates that her children are huge fans of their dad, Ye, and always makes sure that they get quality one-on-one time with him. Recently, she threw some love to the creative brain behind Ye’s iconic merch for a sweet gesture towards their little ones.

Kim Kardashian hopped on Instagram to post a photo of herself with the person who graciously gifted North West with Kanye West’s Merchandise Collection. Bobby Naugle, the mastermind behind the 2003 ‘College Dropout’ bear, reached out to Kardashian to express his wish to gift the original merch he designed to North West. Impressed by the gesture, Kardashian thanked Naugle and noted how rare it was especially because Naugle could have sold the merch for a substantial sum but chose to give it away for free.

This was the second time Naugle had made such a gesture for Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s kids. In the year 2022, Nuagle gifted some of his merch to North West, asking “for nothing in return. And he did the same a year later, despite getting offers from multiple collectors and auction houses. He owned these collectibles from 2003-2005, which also included West’s original personal pink RL polo.
