Kanye West’s claim thatKim Kardashiancheated on him with NBA starChris Paulis fabricated, sources tell PEOPLE.
Before getting suspended from Twitter Thursday night, West, 45, posted a lengthy series of tweets, including one claiming that his ex-wife and the Phoenix Suns point guard were having an affair.
Sources close to Kardashian and Paul have denied the claim. One insider tells PEOPLE, “This is not true and sadly it’s an ongoing pattern with Kanye — attacking Kim to redirect everyone’s attention after a day of antics where he has said every hateful and offensive thing he can possibly dream of.”
West “has a history of falsely accusing” Kardashian, 42, of being unfaithful in their former marriage, the source continued, adding that the rapper “has for years deflected his own awful behavior” on her to “abuse and slut shame” the reality star.

According to the insider, West’s “obsession with porn and sex addiction” have fueled this behavior towards Kardashian, who “wants to be left alone so she can focus on the well-being of their children.”
PEOPLE has reached out to representatives for West, Kardashian and Paul for comment.
