Never mix business with pleasure, a rule that Kanye West & Kim Kardashian are feeling the full effects of...
Kanye and his new music manager Irving Azoff, who is said to have been strongly recommended by momager Kris Jenner <AND why he fired his last manager>, are incompatible and becoming enemies FAST...
According to one insider, Irving Azoff who took on West as a client shortly after he began dating Kardashian, “doesn’t have the kindest words for West.” The source says the 65-year-old has called Kardashian’s boyfriend of nearly five months “unmanageable” due to his eccentricities.
“[Azoff] doesn’t know if he’ll be able to continue on with the relationship [with West],” the source explains.
West seems to share similar sentiments about the mogul, as a second source says the musician verbalized his feelings about the businessman at the 2012 BET awards July 1, describing Azoff, who oversees a plethora of artists like Christina Aguilera , Journey, Jewel , the Eagles and Van Halen, as “nothing special” and stating that he may fire Azoff. He was previously managed by Gee Robertson .
The problem could be bigger than just business, however. The initial source tells us Kanye was influenced by the Kardashian clan — especially Kim’s mom-ager Kris Jenner — to work with Azoff in the first place. The executive’s impressive track record in the industry didn’t hurt his case.
Azoff, who topped Billboard’s 2012 Power 100 and was named the most powerful person in the music industry, has a long history with the reality family, starting with Jenner’s first husband, the late Robert Kardashian. The music executive and lawyer had a working relationship with Azoff before passing away in 2003, and Azoff’s wife, Shelli , remains close to Jenner.
Kim considers Irving like an ''uncle'', and the music mogul also hosted Khloe & Lamar's wedding in 2009.
But our second source says the strained relationship between the rapper and manager could present a problem for Kim.
“Kim is really into Kanye, and her family really likes him,” says the insider. “But they are all really close to [Azoff], too.”
Do you think Kanye and his manager's crumbling relationship will affect his relationship with Kim, ESPECIALLY since Kris pushed their family friend on him? AND do you see Kim having a negative effect on his career?
