Kanye West is reportedly "begging people to invite" Kim Kardashian to Hollywood events.
The 36-year-old rapper is eager for his fiancee - whom is the mother of his 10-month-old daughter North - to join him at elite parties and meetings, but people keep rejecting her.
A source told RadarOnline.com: "Kanye is begging people to invite Kim to events or meetings with the cream of the crop in Hollywood, but so many people are refusing.
"He's a serious star that people really respect, especially as a businessman, but they want nothing to do with Kim."
The 33-year-old reality TV star and her mother Kris Jenner were desperate to attend the Vanity Fair Oscar party last month, but they weren't invited to the posh event.
The source explained: "Kim is just not welcome at the same places Kanye is.
"Another problem is that Kanye is pushing not only for people to accept Kim but her mother Kris too! That is definitely not going to happen. People want Kris around even less than they want Kim."
However, the pal insists Kanye, who managed to talk US VOGUE editor Anna Wintour into having him and Kim on the front cover of this month's issue, shouldn't be underestimated by his powers of persuasion.
The source said: "Kanye usually knows how to get what he wants. Whether it's going to directly to a studio head or the person in charge of an event, he has no fair."
Meanwhile, Kim and Kanye, who got engaged in October, are set to tie the knot next month in Paris, France.

The 30-year-old singer insists she won't be following in the footsteps of her husband Blake Shelton and fronting awards show because her "comedic timing isn't good".
She told People.com: "You know, the timing you naturally have to have. Blake is the best.
"I don't know how he does it. I'm not good at that stuff not at all. I would totally fall flat on my face."
Meanwhile, the 'Automatic' hitmaker recently admitted she's calmed down a lot now she's turned 30 because she no longer has the "I'll burn your house down if you don't listen to me" attitude and feels much more "settled".
She said previously: "That attitude brought me here and got me where I am. But that was me in my 20s. The chip on my shoulder is gone.
"At some point, you calm down. I'm happy. I'm more settled. I've put down roots."
However, Miranda insists she didn't feel she had to change for other people because people accepted her personality.
She said: "I feel like people have accepted me for who I am, with all the craziness, loudness and fire."

Kate Moss' daughter doesn't want her to look too "sexy".
The 40-year-old model admits her 11-year-old daughter Lila Grace is very protective over what she wears out in the public because she doesn't like her flashing the flesh.
Speaking to The Sunday Times newspaper, she said: "She's my biggest critic.
"If she says, 'Mummy, you look nice,' I know I'm alright because she will definitely tell me if she doesn't like it.
"She doesn't like anything too sexy. 'Mummy, do another button up,' she said to me the other day."
Lila has had an eye for fashion since she was nine and even puts on fashion shows with her friend Iris Law, the daughter of Jude Law and Sadie Frost, from time-to-time.
Iris said in 2012: "My god-sister, Lila, and I have gotten into the habit of creating little photo shoots every time we see each other. I enjoy this, because it's everything I love in one go; it's creative, it makes you think- it's fashion."
Meanwhile, Kate, who is a style icon to many, has learned over the years which garments to avoid as they don't suit her, even though they are often looks she loves.

She explained: "I'm taking a really long break right now - I want to focus on my Skinnygirl brand and my daughter. I've been working so hard for so long, and I just really want to rest and enjoy."
However, the former 'Real Housewives of New York' star insists she won't be returning to reality TV in the near future because she doesn't like how intrusive it is.
She said: "It's definitely a personal sacrifice, sharing your personal life, and I think that's what people like to see the most. It's not something I'm interested [in] right now."
'Cookie and Peanut' is due to be published in September.

Rachel Zoe is "tired of being a famous face".
The 42-year-old stylist was reportedly "glad" her reality TV show 'The Rachel Zoe Project' was axed last year because she wants to focus on being a mother to her sons four-month-old Kaius and two-year-old Skyler.
A source told RadarOnline.com: "The transformation has been a slow but profound one and it is definitely sticking.
"Rachel is an awesome mother and has really grown into it with grace and flair, but something had to give, which is why she axed her reality show."
The blonde beauty, who is known for dressing celebrities such as Nicole Richie, has decided to turn her back on reality TV shows and is cutting down on her fashion work.
The source explained: "Rachel's tired of being a famous face and is doubling down on her fashion expertise and her so-so selling line.
"She's turning down offers from networks for new shows. With the new baby, she says she'd have had a meltdown if she was still doing 'The Rachel Zoe Project'."
However, Rachel won't be giving up work completely as she'll still continue to grace the streets with her unique style.
The source added: "Rachel isn't giving up on continuing to be the premiere trendsetter in town and has had huge triumphs with Jennifer Lawrence, but right now Rachel's completely in love with her kids and says it tears her up if she's not in the same room as them."

The 21-year-old star was thrilled to wake up to a new puppy from her mother Tish on Friday (04.04.14), following the death of her Alaskan Klee Kai, Floyd, on Tuesday (01.04.14), but the singer is unsure about the four-legged creature as she's still grieving for her beloved friend.

"Maybe I'm not ready yet.... But being alone won't bring him back to me..... I'm at a loss I don't know what to do (sic)".
The 'Wrecking Ball' hitmaker, who is a well-known animal lover, announced the sad news about Floyd, who she rescued in 2011, on Twitter on Wednesday (02.04.14).

Aaron Taylor-Johnson doubted the credibility of a 'Godzilla' remake.
The 23-year-old actor - who will star alongside Bryan Cranston in the upcoming sci-fi flick - has admitted that he was sceptical about appearing in the film until he heard Gareth Edwards was directing.
He said: "My first thought was, 'Really? Another 'Godzilla'?' [But] with someone like that behind it, you go, 'Okay, let me see what he has to say...'"
The 'Savages' star also admitted that having worked with the 'Godzilla' cinematographer on 'Anna Karenina' and 'Nowhere Boy' convinced him the film wouldn't be a flop.
He said: "And then it was Seamus Garvey shooting it, who I've worked with a bunch of times now and he's a fantastic cinematographer."
Taylor-Johnson was also swayed by the star-studded cast which includes 'Breaking Bad' star Bryan, Elizabeth Olsen and Juliette Binoche.
He added in an interview with Empire magazine: "Then you get a list of people like Bryan, Lizzie Olsen, Juliette Binoche...And then you go, 'Here's someone who's trying to push the boundaries of the blockbuster!'"

Kylie Minogue is worried she will get depressed now 'The Voice' is over.
The 45-year-old star has admitted she might struggle to cope with the series coming to an end last night (05.04.14) because she will miss the excitement of working as a coach on the show.
She told the Daily Star Sunday newspaper: "The one thing I'm aware of, having done those other things like tours and show, I believe it's clinically recognised - post-tour depression ... We're all going to feel down.
"We're all going to feel a little bit lonely next Saturday when it's like, 'What do I do now?' "
Kylie has admitted to having comedowns when she finishing big projects, and she expects it to be the same this time round.
She said: "You go from an adrenalin high of working and travelling and performing all the time, so when you stop you have this tension in your body from your adrenal glands pumping."
The 'I Should Be So Lucky' hitmaker's future on the TV talent show is uncertain after she announced her plans to quit at the end of the series - although it has been claimed she is in talks with the BBC to return for another year.
An insider recently said: "They are going to go all out to get Kylie to sign up. A pay rise is almost certain. And they'll happily rearrange the filming dates to accommodate her.
"She has admitted finding it tough to choose between acts but hopefully they can assure her it won't be as hard second time round."
