ADVISE FROM AN EX
And as he settles down to have his first child with reality TV beauty Kim, 32, his former love has revealed for the first time what drives the star’s ego.
Brooke, 31, told how Kanye was obsessed with “the feminine form” — especially curvy, brunette Kim.
She believes he even watched the socialite’s infamous sex tape before finally ending up with his dream girl last year — but she is not convinced it will last.
And on his new partner, Brooke said: “For Kanye, what other person besides Kim Kardashian is there?
“There’s Halle Berry, J-Lo and Beyonce but they are all taken. She fits into his brand.
“Part of being untouchable is having what other people want. It’s about saying, ‘Everybody wants her and she wants me’. That makes sense in Kanye’s world.
“I know he has had a thing with her for a while. I’m sure he watched her tape. After we broke up, we caught up as friends and he mentioned her, I knew something was there.
“In Hollywood, you cannot say ‘forever’. Them being together satisfies them for now.
“Having a baby ticks a box. She wanted kids and it’s his legacy.”
Brooke met Kanye in 2004 when he was the opening act for hip-hop star Usher at his show in New York.
She was working as a production assistant for MTV.
