The 36-year-old 'Power' rapper is adamant his bride-to-be takes his last name, causing a tense moment over Christmas when her mother, Kris Jenner, suggested Kim become Kardashian-West, reported Showbizspy.
"Everyone at the table gave a thumbs up, except for Kanye. He sat quiet and stern faced, then blurted forcefully, 'She will be known as Kim West. My wife will bear my name only'," a source said.
Kim, who has six-month-old daughter North with Kanye, is now facing the tough decision of trying to please both her notoriously hot-headed partner and her extremely persuasive mother.
