For her 40th birthday, Kanye West surprised his wife Kim Kardashian with a special gift: The 43-year-old had a hologram of her late father Robert Kardashian created.
On her Twitter account, Kardashian shared the video message of the hologram.
The digitally recreated Robert Kardashian tells that he takes care of her, her siblings and her children every day.
"Sometimes I give you a hint when I'm around: for example, if someone farts loudly."
The reactions from fans on the social network were mixed.
While some users described the video as "cute" and "emotional", others described the hologram as "strange", "disrespectful to the deceased" or "a waste of money".
The birthday child himself was apparently happy about the greeting from the deceased father: "Kanye gave me the most thoughtful gift of my life. It is a special surprise from heaven."
In his speech, the hologram Kardashian also discussed Kim's background and said he was proud of her entrepreneurial spirit and her legal commitment.
In the past few years, Kim Kardashian had campaigned for prison reform in the United States.
In 2019, she also announced that she wanted to work as a lawyer like her father.
She started training at a law firm and has already passed a few exams.
