Kim has previously purchased items from the Jackson family in the past. In 2017, she revealed that she and soon-to-be-ex-husband Kanye West had purchased the white fedora Michael Jackson wore in his "Smooth Criminal" music video as well as a jacket worn by the late singer for their daughter North.  

According to Page Six, Kim even dated Michael's nephew T.J. Jackson as a teen.
