Reality TV star Kim Kardashian  has been stripped of her billionaire status by  the editors of Forbes magazine.

The move came after Kim's husband and famed rapper Kanye West   congratulated his wife on social media for achieving the status of billionaire.

Kanye showered praises on his 39-year-old wife after she singed a deal with cosmetic company Coty to buy her KKW beauty brand.

While the singer was receiving accolades for releasing his new single about racism and faith, fans started criticising him for touting his family's wealth after he congratulated Kim.
