By her own design she’s the doting mother who works with her daughter’s best interests at heart – but according to sources Kris Jenner's stewardship of Kim Kardashian’s lucrative career has been compromised by Kanye West.
The forthright rapper is thought to have seized control of his fiancée’s business interests – a move that insiders claim has infuriated the Kardashian matriarch.
‘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 told RadarOnline.
Gone West: Kanye West is said to be 'freezing Kris Jenner out' by reportedly taking control of Kim Kardashian's career
‘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.’
Those opportunities are said to include every facet of the Kardashian brand as well as their wedding, which Kanye is said to be meticulously planning.
The source added: ‘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.’

‘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 claims that Kanye was instrumental in helping Kim announce her latest project – a range of ‘super affordable’ baby clothes, named Kardashian Kids, to be launched in March.
That announcement follows a string of commercially viable endorsements and business ventures, amongst them a cosmetics line, clothing collections for Sears and Lipsy, sunglasses and several fragrances - not to mention the family's chain of Dash boutiques.
But Kanye’s reported handling of Kim’s affairs is said to be freezing her mother out.
New venture: Kim is launching her own range of 'super affordable' children's clothing, Kardashian Kids, a move that Kanye West was reportedly instrumental in
‘He’s alienating Kris and that’s going to be a long-term problem for him that won’t go away,’ said the source.
MailOnline have contacted Kris Jenner for further comment.
Meanwhile Kris, who refers to herself as the Kardashian ‘Momager,’ played her role for laughs during a recent skit on Chelsea Lately.
The 58-year-old takes to the stand in a spoof courtroom as daughter Khloe accuses of favouritism.
‘You know, I'm still third place. And I'm not trying to get to No. 1. I get Kim. No one can come between her golden goose,’ she said.
‘But second? I mean, Kourtney's like watching paint dry. I don't really get what I have to do to win a little attention here or there.’
