Kim Kardashian has made prison reform and pursuing a law degree among her top priorities over the past few years, and though she works hard to help everyone she can, the 42-year-old doesn't always get it all right. As she continues to advocate for Texas death row inmate Ivan Abner Cantu, Kardashian found herself in some hot water after another man of the same name's photo was used in a social media post calling on Governor Greg Abbott to reconsider ending Cantu's life. According to the reality starlet, the prisoner was wrongfully convicted of killing his cousin and fiancee – she's been helping to share his story since earlier this year.
When the New York-based Cantu came across Kardashian's Instagram Story, he put out a message online to soothe any worries stirred up amongst his loved ones thanks to the mishap. "To all my friends and family, I am not getting executed, some idiot who runs @kimkardashian [socials] used my picture instead of Ivan ‘Abner’ Cantu," he shared on Facebook earlier this week, OK! Magazine reports. Afterward, the East Coaster said he totally "understands that someone from Kim’s team likely shared the incorrect image by mistake," but still "wouldn't be opposed to an apology" from her.

To make things right on her end, the SKIMS founder did just that. "A wrong image of Mr. Cantu was posted earlier today and I would like to apologize to the person who’s image was used in error," Kardashian continued before returning to her fight for Cantu's life.
On the topic of Kim Kardashian and her famous family, her former brother-in-law, Lamar Odom, was recently asked about his thoughts on the alleged family curse. Looking back, it's no secret that most of the men who have been involved with Kourtney, Kim, Khloe, Kendall, or Kylie have faced dramatic setbacks in their careers. Still, the former NBA star doesn't think there's any validity to the rumours. Read everything he had to say at the link below and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.
