Robert Kardashian is also heard referencing his proud Armenian heritage.
"I am a proud Armenian father” the holograph says in the message, referencing Kardashian West’s heritage and her ongoing efforts to draw attention to the struggles of Armenian people.

You married the most, most, most, most genius man in the whole world- Kanye West- Robert
