Conor McGregor is one of the most famous fighters in the entire history of the UFC, although this hasn’t always been for the best reasons. As many of you already know, McGregor has been known to be aggressive with the public, and it has landed him in trouble with the law. Despite this, McGregor has maintained his status as one of the biggest stars in the sport, even if he hasn’t won a fight in a fairly long time.

There are a lot of people who know McGregor personally, including his bodyguard Mitchell Atkinson. Recently, Atkinson spoke to MMA Life about McGregor and whether or not the man is really that wild in real life, behind closed doors. As Atkinson notes, McGregor is simply playing a character, and fans should take his persona with a grain of salt.

“What you see in the media isn’t necessarily how they are as a person,” Atkinson explained. “I always said, ‘Conor, he’s a great actor, do you know what I mean? The man… There’s no doubt about it, he’s an absolute genius but the Notorious MMA [persona] is very much a character who he plays a lot of the time. He’s a much quieter [person] and he’s, yeah, he’s very quiet and he’s got a personality like an artist where he kind of wears his heart on his sleeve…he’s a phenomenal actor and he’s a genius, you know, notorious MMA is a character who he plays that made him a billionaire within a matter of years.”

Considering McGregor has been involved in numerous public incidents away from the Octagon, it’s hard to take these comments at face value. However, Atkinson does know McGregor personally, which certainly counts for something.

Kanye West has been everywhere this month. Last week, the highly anticipated sequel to 2021’s Donda finally dropped, although most have not necessarily bought the Yeezy stem player to listen to the album. In the midst of the album rollout, Netflix has unveiled new episodes from the three-part documentary Jeen-Yuhs. The documentary showcases Kanye’s early days as a producer to his transition to a bonafide superstar.

The third and final installment of the documentary will debut on Wednesday and TIME Magazine just shared an unreleased clip from the “Slow Jamz” music video shoot. The three-minute snippet offers insight into the difficulties in bringing the vision to life. Kanye argues with several members of the production crew, as well as the directors, in an attempt to be heard. 

At one point, Kanye asks for a specific record player that wasn’t on set. The director asks an assistant to get one before Kanye reiterates the exact type that he was looking for. “Yeah, I just heard the explanation literally,” the assistant said.

“The thing is you could say that but then she just heard the explanation yesterday,” Kanye responded, pointing to producer Laura Keseric, “and it didn’t mean anything. So I’m going to keep repeating myself over and over and over. Y’all are forcing me to be the asshole.”

Over the course of the clip, Kanye gets into it with other members of the crew and at one point, admits that he’s “spazzing” as someone tries to interrupt his conversation. Peep the clip below. 

Remember when you were a kid and you asked your parents if they could stop at a fast-food restaurant on the way home, only to be met with, “We’ve already got food at home.” Well, Kanye West wants something that he can’t have, and he’s seemingly being forced to settle for that “food at home,” as many fans are pointing out regarding his latest relationship.

Following his one-month-long fling with actress Julia Fox, Ye appears to be moving on with model Chaney Jones. The rumored couple has not confirmed that they are together, despite posting a few photos together on social media and appearing in numerous paparazzi shots as a unit from the last few weeks. One thing that has struck fans about Chaney Jones is her very obvious resemblance to Kim Kardashian, Ye’s ex-wife. There are reports that Ye was drawn to the model because of her Kim-inspired look and while it’s truly impressive that the man was able to find somebody who looks exactly like the mother of his four children, fans of his are clowning him and Chaney online because of it.

“Bro dating Kim KardaSHEIN,” wrote one person on Twitter in a viral post, commenting on Chaney’s new picture with Ye. Sixteen-thousand people reacted to the tweet with a retweet, while over 136-thousand people “liked” the tweet, agreeing with the person who sent it off.

What do you think about Ye and Chaney Jones? Is it weird that she looks so much like Kim? And do you think Ye is only doing this to play mind games with his ex-wife?
