Kanye West has pulled out of the MTV Video Music Awards at the last minute because his girlfriend Kim Kardashian can’t attend.
The Gold Digger star has decided he doesn’t fancy going to tonight’s ceremony in Los Angeles without Kim by his side.
Kim is due to attend Fashion's Night Out in New York this evening, where she'll be promoting her True Reflection perfume at Lord & Taylor.
“Kim's in New York for her fragrance launch and Kanye didn't want to go to the VMAs if she couldn't be there,” a source told MailOnline.

Kayne's song Mercy ft Pusha T, Big Sean & 2 Chainz is up for Best Hip-Hop Video and Best Editing.

'Erm, excuse Mr West - that's actually mine...'
Maybe it’s not such a bad thing that Kanye, 35, doesn’t attend the awards after all, judging by his previous appearance in 2009 when he stormed the stage during Taylor Swift’s speech. She’d just been awarded the gong for Best Female Video, but Kanye thought Beyonce should have won.
Awkward…
