Kim Kardashian just threw subtle shade at Kanye West in rare commentary about her divorce.
In her September 19 French Vogue cover debut, the reality star, 44, alluded to her dramatic separation from the rapper, 48.
Kardashian modeled topless as she emphasized how she feels more "confident" than ever.

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West were married for eight years.
"When I turned 40, my mother [Kris Jenner] told me the coming years would be the best of my life. And it’s true — only over the past three or four years have I gained this confidence," said the fashion mogul, who finalized her divorce from West in 2022 after filing one year prior. "Before, I constantly needed to check with someone before making a decision. Can you imagine? It’s crazy to rely so much on others’ opinions. Today, I know exactly what I want. It’s exhilarating."

Kim Kardashian filed for divorce from Kanye West.
She also credited fashion for boosting her self-esteem, particularly Demna, the former Artistic Director of Balenciaga.
"I think it was with Demna that things really changed. He doesn’t care what people think, so I learned to do the same," the SKIMS founder expressed.
Despite her passion for clothes, she posed naked on the cover of French Vogue, covered in jewels while lounging beneath bed sheets. She wore little to no makeup, and her long black locks were draped effortlessly over her eyes and on the sheets.

Kanye West Drags Kim Kardashian in His Music

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have four kids together.
Kardashian and West were married for eight years and share four kids: North, 12, Saint, 9, Chicago, 7, and Psalm, 6.
The musician has consistently spoken out against his ex-wife publicly. In May, he released a track called "Heil Hitler" that alleged she stole his children. Although he did not explicitly mention Kim, he rapped about how he had "so much anger" after "these people took [his] kids from [him] and they froze [his] bank account."
At one point in the song, he went as far as to claim the Kardashians star sparked his antisemitic behavior.
"With all of my money and fame I still don't get to see my children / N----- see my Twitter but they don't see how I be feeling / So I became a Nazi, yeah b----, I'm the villain," the lyrics read.
Kanye West Sends Kim Kardashian a Cease and Desist

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are reportedly not on good terms.
The same month the track dropped, Kanye's lawyer, Kathy Johnson, sent Kim's attorney, Laura Wasser, a cease and desist letter accusing his ex of "violating" their agreements and "exploiting" North. In the document, obtained by a news outlet, he claimed that taking the teen to the May 5 Met Gala exposed her to "significant media attention."
"Reports indicate that North was left unattended in a vehicle during portions of the event, posing risks to her safety," the letter read. "Additionally, your client has published or authorized the publication of North’s images and videos on social media platforms, including TikTok, despite Mr. West’s explicit objection to his children’s presence on such platforms."
