Jay Z "can't stand" Kanye West, Watch The Throne 2 off the cards

Kanye's wife Kim Kardashian was recently robbed at gunpoint in Paris. At a recent show in Seattle, Kanye raged against his Watch The Throne partner: “Don’t call me, after the robbery, and say ‘how you feelin?' You wanna know how I’m feelin? Come by the house. Bring the kids by the house. Like we’re brothers. Let’s sit down. I can’t take this shit bro. Our kids have never even played together.”

But that's not the end of the story - Kanye's rants can't always be taken at face value (does he have an off switch?) but Jay's feelings are rumoured to be a tad frosty.

"Jay can’t stand him,” an unnamed source tells Page Six. “He looks at him as this crazy, eccentric motherfucker he can tolerate in small doses.”

A second, similarly anonymous source from Kanye's camp reckons that's BS: “It didn’t seem like Kanye was dissing Jay at all. They are brothers, closer than friends. Jay appreciates Kanye’s genius, understands his passions and eccentricities and is accepting of it all.”

But source #1 hit back again: “That’s just perception. The reality is that Jay doesn’t want that much to do with him. He likes his own space and is private. They’re very much not the same person. Jay’s immediate circle is very insular, and Kanye is just a guy who always wants something in the spotlight.”

Perhaps these iced-over friendships are why Kanye's nixed a follow up to lauded collab LP Watch The Throne? Earlier this week he announced that "there will never be a Watch The Throne 2" - admittedly he blamed "Tidal/Apple bullshit", but if Jay and Ye can't be buds then that's gotta be a spanner in the works, right?
