This Story About North West Throwing Kanye’s Phone In The Toilet Explains A Lot About ‘The Life Of Pablo’

Kanye West recently appeared on his sister-in-law Khloé Kardashian‘s new show Kocktails With Khloé (this is the world we live in) ((but really FOH anyone who says this is a sham marriage because that’s some family commitment right there)). And in a preview of the episode, Kim recounts a tale about their daughter North West flushing daddy’s phone down the toilet.

“Kanye had every single rap in his iPhone before he started really working on Pablo and then North flushed it down the toilet and they could not be retrieved,” Kim says in a preview of the segment. “We sent it to like four places.”

Kanye adds, “And no Apple Genius was genius enough.”

This is actually great news, because it could go a long way toward explaining why The Life Of Pablo suffered so many delays and why, outside of “Real Friends,” “I Love Kanye” and “No More Parties In L.A.”, it’s Kanye’s clunkiest lyrical offering to date.

Let this be a lesson, always back up your phone. (Alternate lesson: Kids ruin everything.) Watch the clip below.
