Ciara Verified Whether Kim Kardashian Actually Listens to Hip Hop
Kim Kardashian has long been a fixture in the worlds of fashion and television, but her personal and professional life has increasingly intersected with the music industry. Over the years, she has dated and even married high-profile musicians (most notably Kanye “Ye” West). Beyond her relationships, Kardashian has dipped her toes into the industry herself, lending her voice, style, and promotional savvy to projects ranging from music videos to fashion collaborations with recording artists. So, does Kardashian listen to hip-hop music? Here’s what Ciara revealed.
Ciara revealed whether Kim Kardashian listens to hip-hop music
Ciara and Kim Kardashian share a friendship that has spanned over a decade. Back in 2014, Ciara revealed that Kardashian offered invaluable advice ahead of her first child’s birth, telling HELLO! she and Kardashian “go over really personal stuff from the woman’s side of things.” The two even complemented this bond publicly. Kardashian attended Ciara’s baby shower (with her mother, Kris Jenner, in tow), posting a group shot. Their friendship has weathered seasons of change and speculation, including reports that Ciara’s husband, Russell Wilson, once urged her to back away from the Kardashian circles.
In October 2025, Ciara talked to Fat Joe and Jadakiss on the Joe and Jada podcast about her friendship with Kardashian. Fat Joe asked Ciara if Kardashian ever asked Ciara to borrow a few dance moves.
“Kim is actually funny!” Ciara said through laughter. “When we start talking about dancing, you know, she’s cute. I actually went like, ‘Hey, Kim, can you do this little cute challenge thing that I’m doing?’ And she’ll do it her best way.”
Jadakiss then asked Ciara if Kardashian listens to and enjoys hip hop.
“Of course!” Ciara said. “Of course! I think Kim likes all music.”
Kim Kardashian once revealed her favorite Kanye ‘Ye’ West song
Kim Kardashian and Kanye “Ye” West were once one of the most high‑profile celebrity couples in the world, officially married in May 2014 after a whirlwind engagement. Their union, which spanned several years and now includes four children, combined Kardashian’s pop‑culture influence and West’s musical and fashion imprint. However, by 2021, Kardashian filed for divorce, citing “irreconcilable differences.” Today, the two are no longer married and have shifted their focus toward co‑parenting their four children.
In January 2025, Kardashian revealed which West song was her favorite. She posted a dark black-and-white photo to Instagram showing West with their daughter, North.
“Everyone asks me what my favorite Kanye song is,” Kardashian captioned the post. “It’s ‘Only One.’ Kanye felt like his mom was singing thru him to our daughter. This song makes me cry every time I hear it.”
In 2019, a source told People that Kardashian loved hearing the evolution of West’s music. According to the insider, Kardashian preferred his album, Jesus Is King, to his past music. “This one is so much more mature and spiritual,” the source alleged, “like music that their kids can actually listen to. It doesn’t have any foul language. She loves how Kanye is evolving.”
Will the reality star dive into creating music of her own? It’s doubtful
Between her ex, Kanye “Ye” West, and her multitalented daughter, North West, Kim Kardashian likely has the resources to dive into the music industry if she wanted to create her own tracks. However, it’s doubtful she’ll choose that route for herself. In 2011, she released her debut single, “Jam (Turn It Up).” The single wasn’t well-received, and she later admitted that she wished she had never “dabbled” in music.
“It’s definitely a memory, and it was a fun experience. We gave the proceeds to a cancer organization,” Kardashian told Andy Cohen during an episode of Watch What Happens Live, Rolling Stone reports. “But if there’s one thing in life that I wish I didn’t do … I don’t like it when people kind of dabble into things they shouldn’t be. And that I don’t think I should have. Like, what gave me the right to think I could be a singer? Like, I don’t have a good voice.”
