He's a rapper, a clothing designer and now a matchmaker, too.
Kanye West, 36, was the one who set up his
soon-to-be sister-in-law Khloé Kardashian, 29, with baseball player Matt
Kemp, also 29, in November, according to the December 30 issue of UsWeekly.
'Matt's manager is one of Kanye's best friends,' a source tells the magazine. 'Kanye suggested his manager hook them up.'

Matchmaker: The rapper with fiancée Kim Kardashian on December 4
After Khloé returned from her trip to Australia on November 22 and saw that
video of husband Lamar Odom, 34, rapping about cheating 'on the DL' the reality
star took her wedding rings off.
'The damage Lamar did to their relationship was beyond repair,' a source tells UsWeekly.
The
Keeping Up With The Kardashians star - who was last seen exiting a gym
in LA on Tuesday - was reportedly 'sad' but decided it was time for a
'fresh start.'
That's when Kanye got to work.
It
was three weeks before she filed for divorce from the former Clipper on
December 13. So even though she was still technically married, her next
beau was already being lined up.
How she's moving on: In addition to detailing
the beauty's split from her NBA star husband, UsWeekly also mapped out
the beginning of her romance with the Dodger
Hiding: Khloé tried to go incognito on Tuesday as she exited the gym just as TMZ reported her romance with Matt was 'cooking'
'Khloé and Matt are in the early,
early stages of a relationship and they're taking it really slow,' a
source told TMZ on Tuesday.
'There's definitely something cooking between them.'
But the Dodger is not talking.
While out on Monday, he was asked about his love life. He said he was only focusing on baseball.
But then when he was questioned specifically about Khloé, 'He said even less,' reported TMZ.
Walking tall: The beauty has not yet spoken of
her split from Lamar as she's saving that all for season nine of her
reality show, which debuts in January
Rumors
of a Khloé/Matt romance heated up on Friday, the very day she filed for
divorce from her NBA star husband, when she was seen following the
slugger's black Bentley after a workout session.
According to RadarOnline, the reality star's romance with Matt has reportedly been in swing for some time.
On December 1, Khloé and the Oklahoma-bred athlete both attended the John Legend show at LA's Nokia Theatre.
'Best time of the year': Matt
fueled romance talk when he posted this picture of the Kardashian family
Christmas tree at Kris Jenner's home on his Instagram page
And
then
on Monday, they were together at Jay Z's concert in LA, which Lamar
also attended separately and he didn't speak to his estranged wife.
Khloé was pictured in an all-black ensemble strolling into the venue in
snakeskin high heels and with her head down.
On
Thursday, Kemp added fodder to the fire when he posted a snapshot of
the Kardashian family Christmas tree standing in Kris Jenner's Calabasas
home, 'Best time of the year!! It’s gonna b a Cali Christmas this year,' he wrote in the caption.
