Kim Kardashian Ingeniously Used Kylie Jenner to Trick Khloé Into Doing Our Cover

Sisters know best.

When Complex unveiled that very special Khloé Kardashian cover this summer, the internet was promptly broken in typical Kardashian fashion. As shown on this season's Keeping Up With the Kardashians, Khloé wasn't immediately sure she even wanted to do the cover at all. Kim Kardashian, master of motivation, quickly crafted a plan aimed at getting Khloé stoked for the shoot by way of a little friendly competition.

"Everyone at the gym today was freaking out over Khloé's Complex cover," Kourtney Kardashian tells Kylie Jenner and Kim in a just-released deleted scene via E! News. "This just brought Khloé's stock up like 50 percent," Kim agrees. Thankfully, the discussion quickly prompted a tiny admission from Kim involving an unwitting Kylie:

Do you know that I told her that you got offered the Complex cover and I was like, 'Kylie's gonna get your cover and this is your one time, do you want your 17-year-old sister to outshine you? Step it up right now or Kylie's doing the cover.' And she's like 'OK, OK, I'll do it I'll do it.' So I used you to coax her into doing it.

That's pretty genius. For what it's worth, Kylie's reaction to this news is also pretty god-level:

Friendly reminder: Kylie Jenner was briefly regarded as bigger than Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, and the whole Kardashian-Jenner fam earlier this year.
