Kanye West has reportedly bought two armoured cars to safeguard his girlfriend Kim Kardashian and their newborn daughter, North West.
The rapper reportedly bought two Dartz Prombron armoured SUVs from Latvia for between $776000 (R7.76-million) and $1-million each.
The cars, which were made famous by Sasha Baron Cohen's film The Dictator, usually retail for $400000, but West is understood to have pimped them out.
According to Hellomagazine.com, West ''is said to be leaving nothing to chance as he doubles his efforts to protect his family''.
The report quoted an insider as saying that West fears his family's fame could "attract the attention of weirdos and psychopaths''.
West reportedly wants delivery of the vehicles before he begins his US tour in October.
