Kim Kardashian Infuriates Kanye West Record Execs Over 'Bound 2' Video Release?
Kim Kardashian was reportedly ordered to remove Kanye West's "Bound 2" music video from her personal YouTube channel by record executives for the rapper.
Kardashian, who appears in the 4:14-minute clip, mysteriously removed the video from her YouTube channel recently. A new report claims that the removal was the result of furious executives at Def Jam Recordings, who never authorized the reality TV star to release the video on her personal YouTube page.
"Whatever Kim or Kanye were thinking, it was a ridiculous decision made without consultation. Kanye is an artist signed to Def Jam and it is the label who makes decisions about where videos and songs are released, not Kanye — and most certainly not Kim," a source told RadarOnline.com.

"From what the label can gather, Kim totally acted on her own accord," the insider explained. "Her decision has cost the label a serious amount of money — and in the process, made her revenue from advertising on her YouTube page."
Kardashian, 33, has since corrected the error and readers of her Celebuzz blog are now being directed to West's personal VEVO channel.
"Thankfully, the issue has since been corrected and 'Bound 2′ is now on Kanye's own VEVO page which is where it should have been released, in the first instance," the source said.
The YouTube mishap is not the only drama that Kardashian has encountered relating to the "Bound 2" video. Following the video release on Nov. 19, fans accused the new mom of digitally altering her image.
The Nick Knight-directed clip features West, 36, riding on a motorcycle with a seemingly exposed Kardashian embracing him. Fans could not help but notice the new mom's slim appearance, but a source insists that she was not Photoshopped to appear smaller.
"She wanted to get in shape before filming," a source told HollywoodLife.com. "Kanye had been begging her for a while to do something with him. She is not Photoshopped!"
