Momager Kris, 59, is said to have told her 34-year-old daughter that her brand won’t survive another split, following her divorce from basketball player Kris Humphries in 2011.

Kim allegedly told her mother she and rapper Kanye, 37, ‘aren’t happy’, but Kris simply insisted she has to make it work.
A source revealed to RadarOnline: “Kim told her mom that she and Kanye are arguing and Kris said that she better fix it because her career won’t survive another divorce.
“It was kind of a threat. Kim’s career is on top now and she doesn’t want her to screw it up.”
Reports of Kris ‘trapping’ her eldest child come after it was claimed she was tipping off the paparazzi about 30-year-old daughter Khloe’s whereabouts.
Earlier this month it was reported that Kris was worried Khloe’s ‘star was falling’ and that she was being overshadowed by Kim and younger sister’s Kendall and Kylie Jenner.
But Khloe wasn’t happy with Kris’ publicity stunts. A source told Closer: “Kris said she’s just trying to keep Khloe in the public eye.
“Aside from the show and the fashion ranges she has with sisters Kourtney and Kim, Khloe doesn’t have any solo projects of her own and Kris worries her star is falling.

“But Khloe says she’s sick of the publicity stunts. She’s threatened to fire Kris as a manager before and told her she’ll consider it again.”
According to the insiders, most of the problems in Kim and Kanye’s relationship are there because Kris won’t back off.
“Kanye wanted to take over more of Kim’s career when they got married and he’s started doing that, but Kris won’t allow him to have 100 per cent control,” the source told RadarOnline.
“She wants control and so does he, because he thinks of himself as a visionary and feels like he sees things differently than Kris. Kanye and Kris don’t see eye to eye.”
