Kris Jenner has jokingly threatened to "ground" son-in-law Kanye West if he continues his Twitter tirades.

The outspoken rapper has become known for his social media rants, attacking the likes of Wiz Khalifa, Taylor Swift, and rock producer Bob Ezrin in a series of disputes.

Reports recently suggested Kim Kardashian had started to tire of her man's online outbursts, which had allegedly caused problems in their marriage, but she shut down speculation by making it clear she is firmly in West's corner.

In a post on her website, she revealed she was currently loving "my husband", and hating "that people don't get that Kanye will stand up against the whole world for his creativity and art".

While Kardashian is clearly happy to stand by her man, her mother, Kris, admits she is keen for West to take a step back from social media.

"There have been days where there should be a no tweeting law," Jenner quipped during an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, adding, "and I feel like I will ground him."

When DeGeneres suggested the 38-year-old should have a "board of directors" to approve each of his posts, the Kardashian family matriarch laughed, "That's a good idea!"
