Kim Kardashian Extends Gratitude to Kanye West’s ‘College Dropout’ Bear Mascot Designer in Heartfelt Gesture

Kim Kardashian continues to showcase her appreciation for Kanye West, even amid their high-profile divorce. Recently, their daughter North West paid tribute to her father by donning his iconic bear mascot costume for Halloween, a move that stirred up nostalgia for Kanye’s “College Dropout” era.

The mastermind behind the memorable bear mascot, designer Bobby Naugle, received a sweet thank-you from Kardashian. In a heartfelt message shared on her Instagram Story, she revealed the connection with Naugle, who originally designed the bear in 2003 and worked on early tour merchandise. Kardashian expressed her gratitude, recounting how Naugle, out of kindness, reached out in 2022 to gift North some original merch without expecting anything in return.

Rick Ross’ Jet Troubles, Blaming Drake Takes a Nose Dive

Rick Ross has been on a roll lately, dishing out jabs at his old pal Drake left, right, and center on social media. From poking fun at Drake’s cosmetic enhancements to his attempts at channeling African American culture, Ross even took aim at Drake’s private jet, alleging it was a hand-me-down from his Young Money days. But karma works in mysterious ways, as less than a month after Ross was teasing Drake’s jet, fate intervened when his own private aircraft crash-landed in Dallas, Texas.

While the exact cause of the crash remains a mystery, images of the incident surfaced on the X platform (formerly Twitter), courtesy of the Keep6ixSolid account. The snapshots depicted Ross’ jet, proudly displaying his name, nestled on a grassy patch. The caption, laced with a jab at Ross’ past as a correctional officer, confirmed his lucky escape, stating, “The retired Miami government employee and current cosplayer walked away unharmed because the wing stopped the plan.”

News of the crash spread like wildfire on social media, with DJ Akademiks among those offering well wishes to the rapper. But perhaps the most unexpected reaction came from Drake himself. Despite the ongoing feud between the two, Drake showed a flicker of goodwill, liking the KeepSixSolid post. Fans wasted no time in flooding X with memes and jokes, with some even playfully suggesting Drake had orchestrated the mishap. Ross didn’t shy away from the banter either, taking to his Instagram Story to playfully quip, “Drake fighter jet shot us down!”

Despite their current differences, it’s worth remembering the history between Drake and Ross, spanning over a decade. Drake once hailed Ross as his favorite collaborator, a sentiment echoed during his “It’s All a Blur” tour in 2023. While much has changed since then, it’s a timely reminder of the musical magic these two have conjured for fans over the years.
