We're not sure how this is news; wasn't this already hanging around the brain space occupied by "stuff you never needed to know, but now you're retaining for some reason" already?

For those who have a more natural ability to dump entirely useless information at will; Kim Kardashian has been accused of having an affair with Kanye West while she was still dating Reggie Bush. See! You knew that already too, so why are people talking about it today?

Aaaaaah. US rapper Consequence - who was once signed to Kanye's G.O.O.D record label but no longer talks to the Stronger hitmaker - alleges he drove the 35-year-old star to hotels to meet the brunette beauty while she was seeing the American footballer, who she dated on and off from 2007 to 2010.

Speaking on radio station Power 105.1's Breakfast Club (there's Simple Minds ear-worming the sh*t out of it for the rest of the day) show, he claimed: "When he [Kanye] was sticking Kim when Kim was with Reggie you know whose secret that was? That was our secret."

Consequence's girlfriend Jen The Pen then added: "When the rest of the world didn't know."

Jen also claimed Kanye would often ring Consequence - whose real name is Dexter Raymond Mills Jr. - and ask him for advice about Kim, who split with Reggie in 2010 and went on to marry Kris Humphries for 72 days in 2011.

She explained: "He had his back every night that man called, 'What do I, what do I do about Kim. I need to be with her.' That secret was in my home."

So why are two ridiculously named individuals blabbing all now? Well, Consequence and Jen are said to be annoyed that Kanye didn't send them a note to congratulate them on the birth of their child, and the rapper also claims the reason why they fell out in 2011 is because the Gold Digger hitmaker owes him money for 'ghostwriting' some of his tracks.

He said: "When you not my friend no more and I ghostwrote for you, I'm gon' tell everybody ... I am a ghostwriter. I have been helping you. That's why I can say I'm arguably one of the best. If you running around here talking about you the best on the planet, and you definitely say that, then how you the best on the planet if you got my pen?"
