Kanye West ‘hires team of Kim Kardashian lookalikes’ and spends £6million boosting security following terrifying jewellery raid
KANYE West has "hired a team of Kim Kardashian lookalikes" as decoys to protect his wife after she was the target of a terrifying gunpoint robbery earlier this week.
The rapper injected £6million to boost security which also includes an online security team who have previously worked for the White House. They will "combat accidental leaks while using social media", the reported.
One of the star's doppelgangers is Serbian beauty Anastasija Raznatovic. The 18-year-old, who is the daughter of one of the country's most feared warlords, bares a startling resemblance to her idol.
Another Kim lookalike is 22-year-old is Anastasiya Kvitko, from Russia, who claims it will only be a matter of time before her booty beats KK's.
She said: "“Now my popularity is growing at a crazy speed, so it is a matter of time when I will be recognised more often than Kim.”
It is believed the gang took advantage of Kim’s obsession with social media updates to keep track of her movements.
Kanye's beef-up in security comes after his wife Kim was gagged, handcuffed and dumped in the bathtub of her Paris apartment by jewellery raiders dressed as police officers on Monday.
The mum-of-two is believed to have begged for her life while a gun was held to her temple.
The men stole jewellery including the star's £3.5m engagement ring given to her by hubby Kanye and other gems worth around £8.5million.
They made an escape on motorcycles with police struggling to pinpoint the identity of the group.
The rapper left the stage in the middle of a New York set after hearing about the incident in Paris and the pair were reunited in New York after the reality TV star flew back on a private jet on the same day.
It is understood Kim was left "mentally raumatised" by the ordeal.
A source told the Mirror that Kanye takes the safety of his wife "very seriously".
The source said: "The whole family are under round-the-clock protection. He even lent Kim’s mum Kris his own personal security when she sacked hers after an intruder broke into her house while Kim was there.
