They’ve already hit the headlines over rival raunchy selfies and flaunting their shapely behinds, but insiders say Kim Kardashian’s spat with Amber Rose has now caused rows between her and hubby Kanye West, as she sometimes feels he’s encouraging her to look and act more like his ex.
Kim, 34, and Amber, 31, have been bitter rivals since Amber branded Kim a “home-wrecker” when she started dating Kanye, 37, in 2012. She claimed Kim had previously instigated an affair with her ex by sending him a series of sexy pictures.
Since then, they’ve battled to be the ultimate “Booty Queen” by posting revealing pictures of their curvaceous figures and voluptuous backsides.

Now, insiders say a row has erupted between Kim and Kanye – who are parents to 20-month-old daughter North.
A source says: “Kim was horrified by Kanye’s overt PDA on the red carpet when he squeezed her bum. They had a massive bust-up after the Grammy Awards because she felt like he was trying to treat her like his ex. He’s often trying to influence every detail of her style and how she behaves, and the PDA at the awards made her worry he wants another version of Amber.”
Kanye was previously snapped with then-girlfriend Amber on the red carpet at the 2009 MTV Movie Awards, where he publicly groped her bottom. And insiders say his recreation of the scene with Kim at the Grammys is what sparked the fight.
The source adds: “She said it made her feel ‘cheap and tacky,’ and it was a direct imitation of his public bum-groping of Amber. Kim told Kanye to stop trying to make her into Amber, but he says he sees Kim as unique and would never want her to be like his ex.”
