'He suggested they hook up': Kanye West played matchmaker for Khloé Kardashian and Matt Kemp BEFORE she filed for divorce from Lamar Odom

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.'

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.
