He has been in the headlines for putting on a noticeably amount of weight after resurfacing from his much needed hiatus.

And Kanye West made a rare sighting when he attended a SoulCycle class on Friday.

The outing comes amid reports that the father-of-two was put on a 'daddy diet' by wife Kim Kardashian ahead of the arrival of their third child.

The rapper, 40, was seen walking out of the stationary bike studio talking on the phone, while dressed in a denim on denim ensemble. 

Although the Gold Digger artist attended a spin class, he opted out of participation.

Kanye must have enjoyed the high-intensity workout as he later decided to sign up for a membership.

It looks like the Grammy-award winner has taken his new 'daddy diet' seriously.

This comes after claims that Kim put Kanye on a strict training and diet regime, as she wants him to be 'feeling his best' as they expand their brood.

In a recent episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, it was revealed that Kanye's wife was left feeling 'insecure' after unflattering pictures surfaced of her during a trip to Mexico in May.

But after shaping up she claims she has never felt better.

And now Kim Kardashian wants her husband Kanye West to follow suit.

The couple, who wed back in 2014, are expecting their third child via surrogate in January and are already parents to daughter North, four, and son Saint, one.

According to The Sun, Kim is keen for the parents to be on their 'top form' when their baby arrives and wants to tackle Kanye's weight in the months leading up to their due date.

A source told the publication: 'She needs Kanye full of energy, so Kanye's on a daddy diet that will see him work out three times a week, increasing to five times a week within six weeks.'

'He'll have a six pack by Christmas,' they claimed, adding: 'Kim doesn't want to put extra pressure on [Kanye] but wants him to be feeling his best for the challenges of being a dad to three children.'

The insider revealed that Kanye has a love for indulging in comfort food, such as mac and cheese and fried chicken, and is known for ordering take out meals to the studio when he is working.

They claimed after a difficult year, which saw the Stronger star's tour cancelled, he has been focusing on new music, meaning he has been less active.

It's believed his new diet won't cut out carbohydrates, but will instead be 'paleo-inspired' to benefit his new and intense gym schedule.

MailOnline have contacted a representative for both Kim and Kanye.
