Beyoncé is reportedly mad at Jay Z for being friends with Kanye West and Kim Kardashian, who she supposedly says are a threat to the couple's carefully crafted image, New York Daily News reports.

A source says the "Flawless" singer was embarrassed when Kanye approached the stage after Beck won Album of the Year at the Grammys.

The rapper later said Beck needed to "respect artistry and he should have given his award to Beyoncé."

Another source says Queen B disappeared while West, Jay Z, Kim Kardashian and Taylor Swift were talking to each other.

"Beyoncé's pissed at Jay Z for allowing Kimye so close to them," the insider said. "Beyoncé and her team have worked very hard to put out the exact image they want out there -- it's super-controlled and managed and manicured.

"So for Kanye to jump up on stage without it being planned or part of a discussion is exactly the type of drama Beyoncé did not want with Kim and Kanye and the tabloid lives they live."

The source added Kanye's interruption is making people remember that Beyoncé's album did not win instead of fans forgetting about it soon after as they might have otherwise.

"It just sort of overexposed her for no reason and kind of diminished the pedestal she sits on," the source said.

"Jay is very loyal to Kanye, but it's the Kim and Kanye drama that Bey has always requested they avoid. This isn't a totally malicious or a big fight, more of an 'I told you so' from Bey to Jay."

Kanye interrupted Taylor Swift at the 2009 VMAs for winning over Beyoncé's "Single Ladies" video. He grabbed the mic at the time and said the award should have been given to Beyoncé.

This time around, he said nothing and appeared to be joking when he joined Beck on stage. Afterward, he spoke out against Beck and explained that he held his tongue on stage so that his wife, daughter and clothing line would not face consequences for his actions.

Hollywood Life reported that Swift and West are friends now and were seen hugging at the Grammys.
