Kanye West reportedly wants Kim Kardashian to quit her reality TV show.

The rapper has made appearances in 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' but doesn't want to be seen in the series again.

The hip-hop star thinks Kim should walk away from the programme that made her famous and take her career in a different direction.

A source told Life and Style magazine: ''Kanye doesn't want to film the show anymore. And he doesn't want Kim to do reality TV either. He's pushing her to stop.

''Kanye wants to be in control of his image, not at the mercy of show producers. The Kardashian show hurts his cool image.''

Kim, 32, appears in the show with her mother Kris Jenner, stepfather Bruce Jenner, sisters Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian, brother Rob Kardashian, and half-sisters Kendall and Kylie Jenner.

The series is hugely popular and although Kim is considering taking her boyfriend's career advice, she is worried how her mother Kris - who is also her manager - may react if she left the show.

The source explained: ''If Kanye persuades Kim to leave reality TV, Kris will hate him for it. It will rob her family of their income.''
