Kim Kardashian West doesn't play when it comes to her family, and today she took to social media to correct previous reports about her hubby, Kanye West

Recent reports stated that Yeezy, along with Malik Yusef, co-produced a track for South Korean eyewear company Gentle Monster's "13 MUSIC" campaign. The captivating audio-visual project also featured creatives such as Pharrell Williams, Vic Mensa, and actor Michael K. Williams. While this futuristic endeavor does seem like something Ye would be knee-deep in, Kimmy K shut that down on Twitter with 160 characters or less.

Commenting in a retweet, Kim wrote, "This is not true. Kanye is not involved and did not produce this song."

Kanye has yet to offer up any comments of his own and Kim didn't give any explanations as to why her husband's name was involved in the initial reports. The YouTube video of the eyewear has mysteriously disappeared, as well. The power of the Kardashian-West empire is nothing to play with.

Even without Kanye, Gentle Monster plans on producing more campaigns such as these with an array of famous faces and fashion icons. You can check out Gentle Monster's "13" collection here.
