kim fumes to kanye: “You’ve gone too far this time!”

Insiders say Kim Kardashian has been plotting a secret revenge against her husband Kanye West for “humiliatin­g” her with his new Famous video

- By Daisy Mclure

Kanye West came K under fire again last week after releasing the controvers­ial video for his latest song, Famous, which depicts a string of celebrity lookalikes, including Taylor Swift, Anna Wintour, Caitlyn Jenner and Rihanna, sleeping naked in bed together.

And as the world reacted to the X-rated video, which also included the rapper and his wife, Kim Kardashian, 35, insiders tell Closer how the reality star is fuming with Kanye, 39, for including her ex-boyfriend, Ray J, in the line up. Kim infamously made a sex tape with the US singer, which was released in 2007, propelling her to fame.

SURPRISE CONTENT

Sources say that while Kim knew her lookalike was going to be featured in the video alongside 11 other prominent figures such as George W Bush, Donald Trump, Chris Brown, Bill Cosby and even Kanye’s ex, Amber Rose, she wasn’t aware of the full content. And insiders claim she had no idea that Ray J or US Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour would be featured – a move she fears could ruin her chances of being a cover star again.

DREAM JOB

Kim said it was her “dream come true” when she featured on the cover of US Vogue with Kanye for a wedding feature in 2014 shortly before their Italian nuptials.

A source says: “Kim was furious that Kanye included Anna in the line up – especially knowing how long and hard she had to work to build a relationsh­ip with her, which she said would no doubt now be hanging by a thread.

“She was also fuming that he’d included Ray J behind her back and was purposely antagonizi­ng ghosts from her past and causing her more headaches and drama.

“Kim lashed-out at Kanye and asked him why he’d be so stupid and insensitiv­e, but he simply laughed and said he couldn’t understand why Kim failed to see the humour in it, which infuriated her even more.

“He was on a high from all the publicity surroundin­g the video and said the controvers­y boosted his album sales and told Kim she should be grateful that he was raking in so much money.”

Singer Ray J, who dated Kim from 2003 to 2006, spoke of his fury following the video’s release and said it had caused relationsh­ip problems with his partner Princess Love, saying: “My marriage is all messed up “cause of craziness.”

Girls star Lena Dunham, 30 – who’s good friends with Taylor Swift – also voiced her outrage as she labelled the video “sickening.” Amid the backlash, an unapologet­ic Kanye Tweeted: “Can somebody sue me already #I’llwait,” which was later deleted.

Meanwhile, sources say Kim is now determined to get revenge on her husband and is plotting to get her own back with a secret plan aimed at humiliatin­g the rapper.

PAYBACK TIME

A source adds: “Kim wants payback and wants to give Kanye a taste of his own medicine.

“She’s hoping to get his ex-girlfriend­s, including Amber Rose and designer Alexis Phifer, on board and is planning to secretly apologise to Taylor Swift. She’s even considerin­g trying to leak some embarrassi­ng secrets about his past – although nothing that could damage her. Kim is livid and is having her name dragged

through the mud because of Kanye. She says it’s time to turn the tables and rein him in.”

DISTANCING HERSELF

Insiders say tension was palpable between the pair at Kim’s sister Khloe’s 32nd birthday party last week.

And while Kim was said to be purposely distancing herself from Kanye at the party, pals say she was instead bonding with frenemy Blac Chyna, 28, who’s engaged to her brother Rob. The former stripper fell out with BFF Kim in 2014 when her youngest sister Kylie Jenner, 18, started dating Blac’s ex, rapper Tyga, dad to her three-year-old son King Cairo.

However after worrying that Blac and Rob could eclipse her and Kanye as the next celeb power couple, sources say Kim has been keen to heal the rift – so she can keep an eye on Blac.

A pal says: “Kim believes in keeping your friends close and your enemies closer. She’s trying to be overly friendly with Blac so she can find out her game plan. She’s asked her sisters to get on board and even arrange girls’ nights for them so they nip any threat to their careers in the bud and gain more control.”
