Kanye Vs. Kris: West Takes Control Of Kim Kardashian's Career Away From Momager Jenner
Feb. 20 2014, Published 6:15 a.m. ET
Kanye West knows best!
The rapper has done what once seemed impossible, seizing control of fiancée Kim Kardashian's career from her controlling "momager," Kris Jenner, RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned.
"Kanye is now totally in charge of Kim's career and his non-stop wheeling and dealing is leaving Kris out of control," a source with close business ties to Kardashian revealed.
“Kanye has managed to get Kim to cut her magazine and media appearances by a shocking level and that's going directly against Kris' plan to seize every publicity opportunity offered to her daughters."
The singer, who, as RadarOnline.com recently reported, has become a groomzilla while planning every detail of his upcoming wedding to Kardashian, is taking a similar approach to her business "brand."
"Kanye has ordered Kim to run out the clock on several of her fashion endorsement projects, including the lucrative deal with Sears which she shares with her sisters," the source told RadarOnline.com.
"His goal is to get people to respect Kim and take her seriously -- it's basically the same kind of thing he did when he was launching his rap career after being known primarily as a producer."
The insider added, "Kanye encouraged Kim to pursue the baby clothes line for kids she has just announced."
But the source said in advising his fiancée, mom to their daughter North, West is butting heads with a determined Mama Bear!
"He's alienating Kris and that's going to be a long-term problem for him that won't go away," the source said.
It's just the latest in a series of skirmishes between West and his soon-to-be mother-in-law.
Although Jenner was seen praising West and joking, "He's mine now!" during Sunday's episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, which detailed his engagement to her daughter, they've been at odds off-camera, the source said.
