Male models chatting up Kim Kardashian make Kanye West 'jealous'

Kanye West loves when Kim Kardashian embraces her sexy side on the Internet, but he’s not a fan of the live show.

 

Sources who’ve spent time with the bombastic rapper in recent weeks tell us that seeing his reality star wife talking to the tall, young and handsome male models of Fashion Week brought out West’s “jealous” side.

“He gets jealous when men pay what he thinks is too much attention to her,” said a source familiar with the pair. “It happens in Paris, L.A., New York and everywhere.”

Our insider claim’s that things got downright uncomfortable for West’s inner circle during New York Fashion Week, where the hip-hop star’s fuse was shorter than usual.

He came out of a meeting at some fashion office on Wooster St. and found this really tall, hunky white guy talking to Kim,” said our source. “Kanye walked right up to Kim and said, ‘Who’s this guy? You like this guy?’ ”

We’re told that West’s posse was fine with leaving well enough alone, but the male model felt a need to clear the air.

“The guy turned around and said (to Kanye), ‘Whoa, I’m married with twins — you’ve got nothing to worry about,” says our source. “Then Kanye was like, ‘Oh, but if you weren’t married with twins, I’d have something to worry about?’”

We’re told that West quizzed Kim K. again a couple days later when he spotted her chatting with a second guy who “looked almost like the first guy.” But according to our source, there’s something oddly sweet about West and Kardashian’s little tango.

“They’re big stars and they have their kids — it seems like something he does to let Kim know he’s paying attention to her,” we’re told.

Our West whisperer says that the “Only One” rapper has no problem with his wife’s sexuality, which he not only shows off on social media, but encourages.

“He’s said, ‘I don’t mind people looking at Kim in magazine or online — that’s show business,” we’re told. “But when people come up and start talking to her, he kind of flips out.”

It’s unlikely that West batted an eye at the naked selfie Kardashian posted online on Sunday.

“He likes Kim to be sexualized and sensationalized on the red carpet and he wants her to be a sexpot,” says our spy. Just not in the real world.

“That’s why he’s only OK with her having nonthreatening male friends,” we’re told.
