We're going to be more popular than Jay Z and Beyonce!

That's the shocking statement Kanye West told his wife-to-be Kim Kardashian, who remains convinced their engagement and impending nuptials are about to catapult them into a new stratosphere of stardom!

"Kanye has emphatically told Kim that he believes they're going to be the biggest power couple on the planet,” a source close to the couple told Breaking Celebrity News.

“He genuinely thinks they will be more popular than his close friends, Jay Z and Beyonce. It's one of the reasons why Kanye told Kim to change her hair color, he thinks it elevated Kim from just being a reality star to an international superstar.

The insider said that mother-of-one Kardashian, 33, is trying to imitate the way 17-time Grammy-winner Beyonce is portrayed in the public domain.

“Beyonce is very selective with how she presents herself in public and social media," the source revealed.

"Kim is now following in Bey's playbook. Kim only releases very limited pictures of North and those are with Kanye's approval. He's orchestrating it all, behind-the-scenes."
