Since Kanye “Ye” West is a music superstar and Kim Kardashian is reality TV royalty, both of them have been under the spotlight for many years. In Kanye’s case, that has resulted in fans knowing about his relationship with his parents, how he started 2025 with Bianca Censori, and about Joe Rogan’s comments about the rapper. Similarly, there have been headlines and rumors about Kim Kardashian being accused of cheating and the claim she and her sisters once stole money.
Unsurprisingly, there have also been a lot of headlines about the former couple, including claims that Kanye pushed Kim to bare all. Despite everything fans know about the former couple, what Kanye said before Kim’s infamous Paris robbery is one of the most interesting facts about them.
Kim Kardashian Revealed Kanye “Ye” West Warned Her Before Her Paris Robbery
Over the last several years, there have been very few celebrities who’ve been as successful as Kim Kardashian has been. With that in mind, it is very easy for many people to assume that Kim has led a charmed life thanks to all her success.
That said, the reality of the situation is that Kim has had to deal with far too much trauma in her life. One example of that is the fact that Kim was the victim of a robbery that would have been incredibly terrifying for her.
In the years since that robbery which took place in Paris, Kim hasn’t spoken very much about that terrible moment in her life. As a result, it was stunning when, years later, Kim revealed the stunning warning that Kanye “Ye” West gave her before the Paris robbery.
When Kim was robbed in 2016, she was still married to Kanye, who wasn’t present at the time of the horrific-sounding incident.

However, it turns out that Kanye had an effect on how the robbery turned out because of something he commented which made a difference. As a March 2025 People article reveals, Kim revealed that Kanye warned her she was asking to get robbed before the Paris incident.
Kanye saw it and he goes, ‘Don’t you ever wear both of your rings at the same time. Are you looking to get robbed?’
Kim revealed that Kanye made that comment during an episode of The Kardashians in direct response to something she’d done before the robbery.

Howard Stern And Kanye ‘Ye’ West Had A Shockingly Personal Forgotten Feud
Howard Stern and Kanye “Ye” West had a brief but shockingly personal and cruel feud that has been forgotten.
As Kim explained, Kanye warned her about being robbed after she wore the two engagement rings he gave to her simultaneously. According to People’s article, Kim wore both rings to an event at Madison Square Garden.
Since Kim Kardashian became famous, there have been many headlines involving the reality star and her jewelry. For example, Screen Rant published an article in January 2023 about Kim facing a backlash after buying Princess Diana’s iconic amethyst cross necklace from Sotheby’s auction house.
At that event, Kim posed showing off both rings and the footage of that moment was shared on Instagram. When Kanye saw the footage of Kim showing off her two incredibly expensive rings in public, that was when he warned her about the danger of being robbed.
During the episode of The Kardashians, Kim revealed that Kanye’s warning inspired her to leave one of her engagement rings at home when she traveled to Paris.

Joe Rogan Had A Fascinating Stance About Whether He Would Have Kim Kardashian On His Podcast
Joe Rogan had a surprising take on whether he would have Kim Kardashian as a “The Joe Rogan Experience” guest.
According to People’s article, Kim’s engagement ring that wasn’t stolen was 15-carat. While the article doesn’t report on the estimated value of the ring, the fact that Kim left it at home resulted in the people who robbed her missing out on a lot of value.
In November 2013, E! Online reported that twelve people had been charged in connection to Kim’s Paris robbery. While charges were laid, Kim never received any of her stolen jewelry back.
The fact that Kim never got any of her stolen jewelry back is another reason why Kanye’s warning to her made a major difference. People’s article revealed that Kim had decided to give the one engagement ring from Kanye that she still had to their eldest child, North West.
“That one, I’m gonna give to Northy, because she was with me when I got engaged and she held it after and I took a photo and she was just, like, a few months old.”

Bianca Censori’s Mom Responded To Rumors About Her Inappropriate Relationship With Kanye West
Bianca Censori’s mom responded to a question about rumors that Kanye West has inappropriate feelings about her.
As a June 2023 NBC News 10 Boston article revealed, Kim stated during an episode of The Kardashians that she gave up wearing jewelry after the robbery.
“After I was robbed in Paris, I haven’t bought jewelry. I haven’t really been about wearing jewelry, because when it was taken from me, it was such a—I didn’t know I was ready for that experience and what that meant, but I was. I was ready to, like, give it up.”
While some people may question why Kim avoided wearing jewelry, that is likely because they are ignorant of how traumatic Kim’s robbery was.
In March 2025, The Daily Mail reported on the details of Kim’s Paris robbery. According to that article, Kim was held at gunpoint after several people forced their way into her hotel room when she was only wearing a bathrobe. Once inside the hotel room, the robbers tied Kim’s hands with zipties, wrapped her eyes and mouth in duct tape, and placed her in a bathtub. Left like that, Kim was only freed after wriggling her hands loose and screaming for help.
As a July 2024 Newsweek article revealed, Kim spoke during another episode of The Kardashians about fearing for her life during the robbery. Kim also spoke about what was going through her head about begging for her life to be spared. “Just tell them I have children. I have babies… I have to get home.”
Based on how she was treated, it makes perfect sense that Kim would avoid wearing jewelry for years.
