Kanye's daughter flushed the lyrics from his new album down the toilet

by Richard Howard

We’ve all heard horror stories about the havoc infants can wreak. Flatscreen TVs, laptops, car finishes, a new pair of glasses: somehow the little saboteurs can sniff out the most expensive and valuable items and destroy them, then execute a perfectly timed “Who, me?” cute-face.

North West, the product of behaviour Kim Kardashian and Kanye West showcased in “Bound 2”, seems to have raised the bar in the push-parents-buttons game. On the latest episode of Khloé Kardashian’s talk show, Kocktails with Khloé, Kim and Kanye shared the story of baby North blissfully chucking the iPhone with early drafts of The Life of Pablo‘s lyrics into the toilet.

Presumably, the literal flushing portion of the story was exaggerated or unsuccessful (unless Kanye’s many talents include L.A. sewer spelunker), but the damage was sufficient enough that nothing could be retrieved. Kim also pointed out that West remained eerily calm whereas she would have “at least, like, screamed.”

Yep – he’ll punch photographers without warning and bum rush any stage put in front of him, but when it comes to his daughter, Kanye is Ghandi. The guy is an enigma wrapped in a mystery.
