Kanye West was notably absent from this year's Met Gala, leaving his wife Kim Kardashian to walk the red carpet at the highly-anticipated fashion event.

Kanye apparently opted out of the star-studded event in New York he's attended each year with Kim since 2013, instead staying in LA to look after their children.

And it's reportedly because he's not very happy about those Kim K bum photos that have been plastered all over the papers and online.

According to The Sun, a friend apparently revealed: "Kanye has helped turned Kim into a fashion icon and he feels those pictures with Kourtney have made her look cheap, damaging her brand.

"He’s angry with Kourtney for seemingly leading her on, as she clearly revelled in turning their session into a photoshoot.

"Their behaviour completely detracted from Kim’s current standing in the industry."

Uh-oh.

However, over in the US, People magazine tell a different side of the story, suggesting Kanye didn't attend – despite his close friendship with event organizer Anna Wintour – as he didn’t feel ready to return to the spotlight after his breakdown last year.

A source told the magazine: "It had nothing to do with the Met Gala. It was more about the stress and pressure of a big red carpet. He just wasn’t quite there yet. Kanye has been doing okay. He’s made a lot of good progress and is in a much better place."
