The 35-year-old hip hop star and his girlfriend are expecting their first child together this summer, reported Hollywood Life.
"I think they already know what they're having but Kanye hasn't been saying anything other than that he wants a little baby boy," said a source.
"That would make him real happy. He's always wanted a little boy. He wants to spoil him rotten but also teach him a lot. He wants his son to be great so hopefully he'll be able to have a little guy," added the source.
But West is also happy if the new born is a daughter too. "He's got his heart set on having a son, but he would be happy with a little girl too. No matter what they have, that baby is going to be his heart," said the source.
Whether the child is a boy or a girl, the couple are determined that their child will be fashionable.
"If anyone knows Kanye, they just know how into fashion he is, and I think he's going to have things, like, specially made. I don't think hand-me-downs are going to work. I think it has to be, like, really fun stuff," said Kim.
