Kanye West was outraged that Kris Jenner showed TODAY anchor Matt Lauer a photograph of his daughter North West, Breaking Celebrity News has been told.

There is no love lost between the rapper and the famed NBC interviewer after West's 2010 "brutal" interview during which producers showed a clip of former President George W. Bush sharing his pain at West calling him a racist for his response to Hurricane Katrina.

So when girlfriend Kim Kardashian's momager promised to show Lauer a picture of her granddaughter, the 36-year-old got very riled up behind-the-scenes, an insider revealed.

Kanye became "absolutely apoplectic with anger because he hates Matt," the source said.

"Kanye he felt extremely disrespected and insulted by Matt and the direction the interview took in 2010...He was outraged and disgusted that Kris showed Matt a picture of Nori and he is now refusing to speak to her."
