Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's divorce proceedings were reportedly triggered by the rapper's failed run for president.

Sources have come forward alleging that Kanye's highly-controversial and much-discussed campaign became the final straw for Kim and made her realise that the marriage was beyond saving.

Many are of the opinion that Kardashian was also not a fan of the remarks that the rapper made about Harriet Tubman, Kris Jenner and mental health. Kanye very publicly criticised the Kardashian-Jenner family and refused psychiatric treatment for his bipolar disorder.

The source was also reported as saying that there was no bad blood between Kim and Kanye and they have both accepted the situation:

“There isn’t a war happening. They’ve been working through a lot for a while now, for a few months.”

A second source re-iterated the sentiment that Kim's final straw was Kanye's sham of a presidential campaign and that it was the moment that she felt a separation would be better for their four kids.

The same source then added that Kanye is "over" the Kardashian family too.

Neither West nor Kardashian has come out and confirmed the divorce but fans have come to accept it to be as-good-as true.
