Kim Kardashian's friends deny Kanye West's claim she had affair with Phoenix ... trends now

Friends of Kim Kardashian are hitting out at her ex-husband Kanye West's claim that she had an affair with Phoenix Suns star Chris Paul, and say it's another attempt by him to 'sl*t-shame' her. 

The rapper - who has a history of mental illness and has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder - shocked even his harshest critics yesterday with his tirades on Alex Jones' Infowars podcast. He said he 'liked Hitler', denied the Holocaust and insisted anyone who disagreed with him or tried to silence him was trying to censor free speech.  After unraveling on Infowars, he then carried on his rants on Twitter before being booted off by Elon Musk. 

In one of his final tweets, West - determined to cause controversy - said: 'Let's break one last window before we get outa [sic] here,' seemingly aware that Musk was seconds away from banning him. 

He tweeted a photograph of Paul, and wrote: 'I caught this guy with Kim. Good night.' 

Representatives for Kim declined to comment when approached by DailyMail.com on Friday.
