Kanye West reportedly asked his good friend Jay Z to be his best man but the latter refused his invitation, according to reports.

According to Perez Hilton, Jay Z is concerned about Kanye and Kim Kardashian's plans to televise their wedding on May 24 in Paris. Jay Z and Beyonce allegedly did not like the idea of themselves and their daughter Blue Ivy appearing on "Keeping Up With the Kardashians."

A reliable source told Perez, "Jay is Kanye's closest friend so he wants him to be his best man. Jay agreed initially but had one condition - under no circumstances can there be any reality TV shows filming him, his wife, Beyonce or daughter Blue Ivy during the ceremony."

The source further explained, "The thought of popping in KUWTK mortifies Beyonce. She purposefully keeps herself away from trashy TV and isn't prepared to lower her standards for anyone, on any occasion. Bosses at E! are desperate to get the nuptials on air, and will pay millions to make it happen."

Although Kim and Kanye previously expressed their desire to keep their wedding small and intimate, reports have confirmed that a TV deal to air their wedding on television is already in the works. The entertainment network has also agreed to pay for the much awaited Kimye event.

Last February, Kim spoke with Ryan Seacrest about her upcoming nuptials where she revealed that the wedding will be much smaller than people actually expect it to be. The reality TV star said, "As we are going along, we realize we want it to be smaller and more intimate than people are imagining and thinking."

There are no reports yet on who Kanye has chosen as Jay Z's replacement. The singer has not yet commented on the issue.
