Kanye West has reportedly backed out of attending Kim Kardashian’s baby shower. The rapper is expecting his first child with the reality star this summer. Kanye was originally thought to have agreed to attend the celebration happening this weekend. But he has apparently retracted that offer because he doesn’t want to be filmed for her family’s TV drama Keeping Up with the Kardashians. According to The Sun, Kanye has “refused” to attend the event. He’s reportedly upset about Kim’s continued courtship of fame. “Kanye wants their life with their first child to be out of the public eye,” a source said. “He would like the baby shower to be the first part of that, so [he] doesn’t want to be there while the cameras are rolling.” The baby shower will undoubtedly be a lavish affair. Kim’s mother and manager, Kris Jenner, will reportedly serve as the hostess alongside Kim’s sisters, Kourtney and Khloé. Earlier reports suggested Kim had “begged” Kanye to attend. “Kim had to beg Kanye to stop by the baby shower which is taking place on June 2,” an insider told Radar Online. “Kim nagged him until he agreed when she said it would look really bad if he didn’t show up,” the source insisted, adding that Kanye had agreed to show up for “ten minutes”. It remains to be seen if the rapper will agree to attend the event on the condition he won’t be filmed. Kim is expected to give birth in July.
