Kanye West has spent the past couple of days being very Kanye on Twitter: tweeting stream of conscious all day about his support of President Donald Trump, his business, his say "I love you" often philosophy, his private text conversations with John Legend, and a lot more.

But among all the tweets that have sparked outrage among some of West's fans, one deeply bothered his wife Kim Kardashian, Us Weekly reported: West's tweet in support of Tristan Thompson in the wake of stories that he allegedly cheated on his girlfriend Khloé Kardashian throughout her pregnancy with his child, with multiple women. At the end of Wednesday, he wrote, "That's the last tweet of the day. I did that one for my god-brother Puff. Now ima go watch the Cavs." Thompson is a NBA player for the Cleveland Cavaliers.

“This of course upset Kim, but she refused to give Kanye the attention he wanted from the post,” a source told Us Weekly. Kardashian is said to want her sister to end her relationship with Thompson because she believes Khloé deserves better.

The source added that “Kim has been extremely upset with Kanye’s social media rants in the past, but Wednesday’s took it to another level. She tried pointing out to Kanye that the posts were only adding to speculation about his mental health, and just wanted him to realize that." (Kardashian did indeed post a series of tweets cautioning media outlets not to be so quick to throw mental illness speculation into their reporting.) “He refuses to listen, and almost seemed to be taunting Kim’s advice, which he typically follows…At this point, Kim is just not engaging Kanye because it’s counterproductive and will only cause more fighting.”

People echoed this idea that Kardashian isn't really talking to West unless it's on Twitter-in part because he's not listening. “Kim is reaching out to him on social media because that’s literally the only way she can get him to listen,” a source close to West said. “He’s not paying attention to her right now. It’s the same idea as a wife who stands in front of the TV when her husband is engrossed in a football game.”

Another source cautioned that this really isn't unusual for the two, though it does wear Kardashian down. “Kanye is like a child who needs constant attention - and Kim already has three of those,” the second source said. “So after a while, or when he’s being really needy, it takes somewhat of a toll on her. Who knows how far he’ll take it. He could be over it and recover tomorrow, or he could continue further down this path. But you have to understand this is all normal for him.
