Kanye says bye-bye to his dad bod – see the pics!

Cape Town - When recent pictures of Kanye looking a little heavier emerged, internet trolls were quick to point out that the hit rapper had gained weight.

But his wife Kim Kardashian West was having none of it.

Sources told The Sun that the reality star, who has been married to the rapper since 2014, has put Kanye on a ‘Dad diet’ following his rapid weight gain – and now it’s all paid off.

“Kim wants him on top form for when their third baby arrives in January – she says with three kids to run around after, they’ll both need to be fitter than ever,” the source said.

In newer snaps, the Fade singer cuts a trim figure as he is exiting his office in Calabasas, California.

He has reportedly been going to SoulCycle classes and watching what he eats in recent weeks.

Kanye cancelled his tour late last year due to a mental breakdown he suffered, as reported by USA Today.

Since then, the source said, the 40-year-old artist has been in studio working on new music.

“Since his tour was cancelled and he’s in the studio all the time now, working, he’s not as active.

“Kanye’s had a very tough year, and he loves comfort food like mac and cheese, fried chicken, cheese burgers and home fries,” said The Sun’s insider, adding that Kim had apparently said, “He’ll get his six-pack back by Christmas.”
