Sources have since told The Sun that momager Kris Jenner “pulled the plug” on the E! reality show over fears that Kanye West was causing “irreversible damage” to their brand.
Family sources close to the momager said she had “had enough” of her daughter Kim’s unpredictable husband.
The rapper had allegedly “tried to constantly fight with Kris over production and the direction that the show is going.”
But headstrong Kris “was not about to let anybody take the reins.”

In recent months, Kanye battled a public mental health breakdown and shocked fans by sharing intimate details of his marriage and family life.
The source admitted that his behavior had become “uncontrollable,” and Kris knew she “needed to pull the plug before he does irreversible damage to her brand.”
As The Sun previously reported, Kanye called mother-in-law Kris a “white supremacist” and “Kris Jong-un” in a series of tweets, and claimed he had previously tried to divorce Kim.
At a campaign rally for his presidential bid in July, he even alleged Kim had almost aborted their eldest daughter North.

Though he apologized for his comments, he later doubled down and repeated the abortion story on Nick Cannon’s podcast.
The rapper shares 7-year-old North, 4-year-old Saint, 2-year-old Chicago and 1-year-old Psalm with wife Kim.
In addition to problems with Kanye, Kris believed the show “really started to divide her family- and that is the last thing she wanted.”
18Kim has four children with Kanye.
“They are all leading separate lives. Kourtney cannot stand any of them, Kim has become power-hungry, Kanye is reckless, Kendall wants nothing to do with it, Kylie feels like her privacy is constantly invaded, and Kris is just flat-out tired.
“Kris just called an end to it before any further damage could be done to her family and the lives of her grandkids.”
