Kim's sweet tribute comes amidst her marital drama involving her husband, rapper Kanye West's controversial Twitter outbursts.

Despite being well into her 80s, MJ still looks radiant and continues to be an inspiration for her ten great-grandchildren

In his rants, the rapper detailed how the couple nearly aborted their eldest daughter, North and mentioned he was thinking of divorcing the fashion mogul.

The iconic rapper later tendered a public apology to his wife on July 25. In his tweet, Kanye revealed he had hurt his wife and begged for her forgiveness.

Meanwhile, the Kardashian-Jenner clan did not let the award-winning rapper's recent Twitter outbursts overshadow the birthday celebrations of their beloved MJ. They flooded Instagram with beautiful throwback photos.

Momager Kris led the celebrations in honor of her mother as she posted an Instagram album which was packed with several throwback pictures. She wrote in the caption:

Kris shares an extraordinary bond with her mom, MJ, which has been well-documented by the matriarch on her social media and the reality TV series "Keeping Up With the Kardashians."

During the Mother's Day celebrations earlier in the year, Kris, 64, took to her Instagram page to pay a special tribute to her mother with a series of pictures.

In 2019, the mother and daughter were spotted at King's Fish House in Calabasas, California as the pair went out for dinner. MJ looked beautiful and healthy as she enjoyed a dinner date with her daughter.

Despite being well into her 80s, MJ still looks radiant and continues to be an inspiration for her ten great-grandchildren, seven grandchildren, and two daughters.
