Earlier this year, Kardashian visited Nigeria for a concert. And yesterday afternoon, she purportedly sent out this racist tweet:
“Nigeria is such a disgusting country. I couldn’t wait to leave. lol Scott said their women look like apes and I agree.”
Twitterers were shocked that she could say something so vile:

As it turns out, the tweet was a fake.
I see there's a photo shopped tweet floating around, supposedly something I said about Nigeria. That was NOT me, or my feelings.
— Kim Kardashian West (@KimKardashian) March 27, 2013
Kardashian has a verified Twitter account. Had the tweet been authentic, a blue checkmark would appear next to her name, as it does in this tweet:
❤Morning NY❤ http://t.co/uTMgcYJkWh
— Kim Kardashian West (@KimKardashian) March 27, 2013
The tweet in question has no such checkmark. A search for the tweet in Kardashian’s feed also yields no positive results on automated Twitter aggregator Topsy.
Folks getting mad at @KimKardashian over her "Nigeria is disgusting..their women look like apes" tweet when in fact that tweet nevr happened
— DeJ! (@DJMightyMike) March 27, 2013
To all fellow Nigerians, @KimKardashian did not tweet anything bad about Nigeria Women. It was a false nd an edited tweet. DO NOT BELIEVE!
— AKON K'Kartel (@AkKonvict) March 26, 2013
That fake tweet is very disturbing & I would NEVER EVER tweet something like that
