After denying reports he’d cheated on pregnant Kim Kardashian, Kanye West skipped town without her to play a surprise show at Art Basel in Switzerland, sources tell Page Six.
West said through a rep yesterday he did not have any sexual encounters with 24-year-old model Leyla Ghobadi, who claimed she and West slept together twice, including once when expectant Kim was off in Miami. The rep called her story “totally without merit” and a blatant attempt for publicity.
Either way, West — who reportedly said his whole relationship with Kardashian was for publicity — hasn’t exactly been a constant at her side during her pregnancy. While she’s grounded in LA, he continued a whirlwind tour promoting his upcoming album, “Yeezus.”
Pregnant Kim is deliver her first child withKanye next month.
A source said: "Kim is so close to giving birth and she's big and uncomfortable and knowing Kanye partied with all of their friends really made her mad."
West celebrated his 36th birthday with rappers Nas and Jay Z, singer Beyonce Knowles, Kim's best friend Jonathan Chebar and her older sister Kourtney's boyfriend, Scott Disick, in New York.
Kim, 32, wanted him to delay the party and have it here so that they can celebrate it together, reports femalefirst.co.uk.
The source said: "She isn't traveling this late in her pregnancy but everyone else there could have easily come to Los Angeles, they all can hop on a private plane any time they want!"
"Kim totally respects Kanye and the work he has to do, but as her due date grows closer she is getting mad about how little time they're spending together and wishes that he would try and accommodate her more," the source added.

Kanye West
West was in New York this week for a listening party stocked with models, rappers and athletes on a loading dock at Milk Studios, and he also celebrated his birthday with Jay-Z, Nas and Beyoncé at Miss Lily’s without his reality-star girlfriend.
While Kim’s stuck in LA weeks before the birth, West next headed to Art Basel, where he’s scheduled to play a secret show at the fair’s new Herzog & de Meuron exhibition hall.
West will be in good company at the fair, as moguls have flocked there for a VIP preview of a reported $2 billion worth of art being shown.
