Beyoncé has "never genuinely liked" Kim Kardashian West.
The 35-year-old singer and the reality star, 36, have appeared to be close friends for years, but sources now claim the popstar only "tolerates" Kim because of their mutual friends.
A source told New York Post's Page Six column: "Beyoncé has never genuinely liked Kim.
She's mostly tolerated her because of their husbands' friendship and [their] mutual friends, like Jennifer Lopez. She is always a little icy to Kim. The last time they hung out, the minute Beyoncé could leave the conversation, she did. They always have lots of awkward pauses when they speak."
