Send it to her then,&#8221; he replied first, before turning to face his wife.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Wait a second. Kim, you want to send it to her?&#8221; he suggested. &#8220;She asked you.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"text-2\" data-hook=\"scrollable-block\" readability=\"66.993571428571\">\n<section data-textblock-tracking=\"text-block-text-only\" data-swiftype-index=\"false\" readability=\"30.194285714286\">\n<p>&#8220;She did ask me, &#8216;Can Kanye send me new music?'&#8221; Kim confirmed, before promptly conferencing Nicki in via FaceTime.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Hi Kim!&#8221; chirped the songstress. &#8220;I missed you.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>And the rest is hip-hop history: Kanye informed Nicki the collaboration was &#8220;gonna be fire&#8221;; Nicki promised to &#8220;say some real ass s&#8211;t&#8221; that people need to hear; and Kanye wrapped the conversation with a simple nod followed by, &#8220;That&#8217;s all we do!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Kardashian-West&#8217;s East Coast excursion quickly became an extended family affair after Kim suggested <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eonline.com\/news\/kourtney_kardashian\">Kourtney Kardashian<\/a><\/strong>&#8216;s ex <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eonline.com\/news\/scott_disick\">Scott Disick<\/a><\/strong> join them with his little ones last-minute.

Wasn&#8217;t that so much fun? The trip could work out perfectly.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Kim&#8217;s idea unfolded pretty much exactly as planned. After watching&nbsp;<strong>Mason<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>Penelope<\/strong>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eonline.com\/news\/reign_disick\">Reign Disick<\/a><\/strong>&#8216;s father seriously step up his dad game in NYC, Kourtney decided maybe Scott really had changed enough to go to Bali. &#8220;I think it&#8217;s fine if you want to come,&#8221; she told him on their last day. And unsurprisingly, her ex confirmed he was definitely game.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"text-5\" data-hook=\"scrollable-block\" readability=\"62.738990332975\">\n<section data-textblock-tracking=\"text-block-text-only\" data-swiftype-index=\"false\" readability=\"20.912996777658\">\n<p>Back in L.A., Kanye had some explaining to do. Kimye&#8217;s New York trip found the couple in the midst of a confusing conversation about real estate. At an event for Open Mic Chicago a little more than a week prior, Kanye had announced his&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.eonline.com\/news\/969526\/kanye-west-says-he-s-moving-back-to-chicago-permanently\">plans to move back home<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I gotta let y&#8217;all know that I&#8217;m moving back to Chicago and I&#8217;m never leaving again,&#8221; said the rapper in a video later shared to social media.<\/p>\n<p>Kim caught word of Kanye&#8217;s relocation chatter the same way everybody else did.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I know Kanye really loves being in Chicago. But I had no idea that he wants to move there until I hear about it on social media,&#8221; said the KKW Beauty founder. And much as she wanted to support her husband, &#8220;I definitely feel like I&#8217;m being pulled in a million directions. The kids are in school and we have&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.eonline.com\/shows\/kardashians\/news\/1028338\/kim-kardashian-shares-fun-family-photo-as-they-await-baby-no-4\">another baby on the way<\/a>. So, moving to Chicago would have to be like, a long conversation. And honestly, it might be my breaking point.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"text-7\" data-hook=\"scrollable-block\" readability=\"64\">\n<section data-textblock-tracking=\"text-block-text-only\" data-swiftype-index=\"false\" readability=\"18\">\n<p>The two finally sat down for that conversation at the tail end of Sunday&#8217;s episode.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I just think that it would be amazing to have a second place in Chicago. And if you need to spend more time out there, that&#8217;s totally fine. But I think it would be really hard just to take the kids and leave and permanently move to Chicago,&#8221; Kim said, and Kanye agreed.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Yeah, we&#8217;re not gonna move full time,&#8221; he told her, adding that it&#8217;d be nice for the family to spend more time there &#8220;because that&#8217;s my home, too.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>See how it all went down in the full recap video above!<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eonline.com\/news\/1029625\/watch-kim-kardashian-set-up-a-dope-music-collab-between-kanye-west-nicki-minaj-on-kuwtk?cmpid=rss-000000-rssfeed-365-topstories&#038;utm_source=eonline&#038;utm_medium=rssfeeds&#038;utm_campaign=rss_topstories\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: E!
