Queen Bey 'never genuinely liked' Kim K, Jay Z 'can't stand' Yeezy

London [UK], Oct. 29 : The feud between rappers Jay Z and Kanye West seems to be expanding to their families and broods as it has come to light that their wives don't see eye to eye and their kids don't have play dates together either.

The reason behind the rappers' feud stems right back to Beyonce's dislike of Kardashian and that's why "Blue and North have never had a play date," reports the Daily mail.

"Beyonce has never genuinely liked Kim," told a source close to the Kardashians.

"She's mostly tolerated her because of their husbands' friendship and [their] mutual friends, like Jennifer Lopez," the insider claimed.

Earlier this month, West lashed out at Carter for failing to show enough concern after his wife was robbed at gunpoint in a Paris hotel.
