Kendall Jenner has made her mark on this planet by being one of the biggest supermodels who has ever lived. She was one of the first celebrities to transform her traditional modeling and reality show career into a profitable social media empire, alongside her other Kardashian-Jenner sisters.
One way Kendall has been able to set herself apart from other models, including her own siblings, has been through her friendships and hobbies. According to Mirror, Jenner has had unique interests in art and brain scans. She also has a love for hip-hop music and its surrounding culture.
While Kendall's sisters have had long-term relationships with rappers such as Kanye West and Travis Scott, Kendall's had one surviving friendship with one of the most outlandish rappers in the entire genre of hip-hop, Tyler, the Creator. Many fans have had questions about their odd companionship.

According to The New York Times, Tyler grew up in Ladera Heights, California. He founded the Odd Future rap collective, which consisted of stars such as Frank Ocean and Steve Lacy.

Whereas Tyler had to risk a lot in order to become a star, Kendall has been a part of arguably the most famous family in the world.
