Before the Kanye West drama took center stage in Kim Kardashian's life, she was no stranger to controversy. Beyond the glamour of red carpets and reality TV, the queen of the Kardashian empire clashes with fellow A-listers appeared almost unavoidable for the 'Skims' founder. Let's rewind the clock and delve into the juiciest feuds that have punctuated Kim's journey in the limelight.

Taylor Swift

In the epic saga of Kanye versus Taylor Swift, Kim played a significant role. Following Taylor's criticism of Kanye's song 'Famous,' where he raps "I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex" and "I made that b**ch famous," Kim released footage of Taylor seemingly approving the lyrics. However, years later, the complete phone call was leaked, ultimately vindicating the 'Blank Space' singer and clearing her name.

Kourtney Kardashian

On Kim's roster of notable feuds is her clash with her own sister Kourtney. The battle between the sisters centered on Kourtney's focus on motherhood and her reluctance to expand her career. Kim and Khloé, who are a lot closer as sisters, are known for their career-driven approach. But Kim apparently harbored resentment towards Kourtney for seemingly enjoying the benefits of their shared success without embracing the demanding 16-hour workdays. Tensions peaked when Kim publicly labeled Kourtney "the least interesting to look at" on the show, leading to a brutal physical altercation.

Kanye West

Kim's rollercoaster relationship with Kanye has been one of the most dramatic feuds in recent memory. Even after their divorce, the drama continues to unfold, marked by publicized threats, leaked private texts, and Kanye's controversial behavior. Kim, while expressing regret over the impact on her family, maintains a stance of not speaking negatively about her former husband in public.

While Kim and Kanye were a couple, she found herself defending her husband amidst his turbulent feud with Drake. The conflict escalated when Kanye alleged receiving a threatening call from Drake. In a swift response, Kim took to Twitter directly addressing 'IDGAF' singer, "Never threaten my husband or our family. He paved the way for there to be a Drake." The feud added another layer of intensity when Drake rapped about sleeping with Kim on his track 'In My Feelings'.

Katie Couric

Kim's rift with Katie Couric traces back to the aftermath of the birth of Kim's daughter, North, in 2016. In August of that year, Katie made headlines for expressing her lack of understanding about why the Kardashians were famous. Mere days later, Katie sent pajamas for the newborn, born in June. “Dear Kim and Kanye, Congratulations on the birth of your baby girl! And may I humbly suggest you continue the K tradition,” the card from Katie read. However, Kim, still stinging from Katie's earlier criticism, took to Instagram, sharing a photo of the intended gift and note, with caption "#IHateFakeMediaFriends" and "#MayIHumblySuggestYouNotSendGiftsThenTalkS**t."
