The reality star flaunts her buns in a low-cut black bodysuit, styled with wet, slicked-back strands and gold hoop earrings. In her interview, she defends little sister Kylie’s eyebrow-raising relationship with Tyga. “I think at 16 I was probably f****** someone that was in their 20s, for sure," she says. "I wouldn’t say I was even dating, probably just sleeping with them. But again Kylie is not a normal 17-year-old ... It’s a rare circumstance, so let’s treat this as a special case.” (Photo: Complex Magazine, August 2015)

I liked Neil Young,” she says. “Black culture is so much deeper than that, but unfortunately that is what’s fed through the media. That’s what people see. That’s what I saw.
