Kim Kardashian Slandered On Twitter After Kanye West “DONDA” Premiere

by

We’re still waiting for Kanye West to upload his new album DONDA to streaming services, but fans got an exclusive chance to hear much of the project last night at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. DONDA features new music with Roddy Ricch, Lil Baby, Don Toliver, Travis Scott, Pop Smoke, and more. Most surprisingly though, JAY-Z has an incredible new verse on the album, reuniting with his little brother and teasing Watch The Throne 2. After Hov’s verse played over the stadium’s loudspeakers, Twitter went absolutely nuts, and, unfortunately, some people got a little carried away, dragging Kanye’s ex-wife Kim Kardashian with tweets about how the music legend “traded” her in for his friend again.

As the world continues to react to Kanye West’s new album, there is an increased number of tweets slandering Kim Kardashian being sent out. The billionaire reality television mogul was in attendance at the event with her family and their children, being welcomed by fans, but online, it was a different story.

A quick search for “Kim/Kanye” on Twitter will show you exactly how people are reacting to last night’s exciting event, placing a focus on the people joking that Kim has been “traded in” for JAY-Z’s friendship, and those saying that Hov only reunited with his bestie because Kim is no longer in the picture. 

Check out what people are saying below and stay tuned — DONDA is still on pace to release today on DSPs.

Isaiah Rashad Delivers “Wat U Sed” With Doechii & Kal Banx

by

The House Is Burning is set to release next Friday, kicking off what fans can only hope to describe as a TDE hot streak. While that’s certainly not guaranteed, Zay’s return will be a triumphant event in itself, as his last solo album arrived in 2016 with The Sun’s Tirade. Following a string of new single releases, including the tone-setting banger “Lay Wit Ya,” Zay has come through to drop off another song from the album in “Wat U Sed.”

Featuring Doechii and Kal Banx, Isaiah’s latest features a laid-back yet uptempo groove, the exact sort of beat on which he tends to excel. Once again, he deftly rides the instrumental with some braggadocious bars. “Bet my bitch eat me up while I’m drivin’, and I swear it’s a show, not a riot,” he raps. “And I had a nightmare last night that I wasn’t countin’ up / We had too many hoes in this bitch, I had to round ’em up.”

More of an immersive vibe than a lyrical showcase, this latest drop will likely sound even better in the context of The House Is Burning. Be sure to check back next Friday, July 30th. 

QUOTABLE LYRICS

Bet my bitch eat me up while I’m drivin’
And I swear it’s a show, not a riot
And I had a nightmare last night that I wasn’t countin’ up
We had too many hoes in this bitch, I had to round ’em up

Kevin Hart Pranks Nick Cannon, Posts His Phone Number On Massive Billboards

by

Kevin Hart and Nick Cannon are friendship goals. This year for Kevin’s birthday, Nick decided to wild out and get his friend an exotic new pet, surprising him with a llama. It took a few weeks but K-Hart has officially gotten his payback, plastering his friend’s phone number all over massive billboards in major cities across the United States and telling his fans to ask the serial father for parenting advice.

“Since my brother @nickcannon decided to buy me a lama for my B Day I decided to do something nice for him as well….Here is a digital billboard in Los Angeles….I also did some in ATL & NY,” said Kevin, encouraging his fans to ring up his best friend. “If u want any advice on fatherhood please call my BEST FRIEND @nickcannon ….I’m sure his phone has been ringing nonstop [laughing emojis] GOTCHA BACK BITCH #PRANKWARS.”

Indeed, Nick’s phone was ringing nonstop. The comedian shared a video of himself answering phone calls on FaceTime, keeping the interactions short because a bunch of other calls kept coming in. He actually said that his phone’s battery was faltering because of the increased volume of calls.

Do you need a friend like Kevin Hart? Was he out of line for sharing Nick’s phone number like this, or is it all fair in a prank war?

Logic Commits To Being There For A Loved One On The Supportive ‘Call Me’

by

Just like many rappers who claimed they were retiring from the game have done, Logic reemerged from his cave to step up to the mic and share new music with fans shortly after his declaration. His return came less than a year after the release of his sixth album, No Pressure, a project he used to momentarily conclude his career. Now, the Maryland rapper is back in action, and he adds on to his recent string of releases with his latest effort, “Call Me.”

The track is a laid-back effort that’s conceptually similar to his highest-charting single, “1-800-273-8255,” as it finds him providing a hand of support to those around him who might be in need of it. “You know you can call me / When nobody picking up,” he raps over the song’s mellow production. “When it feel like don’t nobody in the world give a f*ck / Call me / I’ll be there to pick you up.”

“Call Me” is the third single that Logic revealed that his next project, Bobby Tarantino III, is on the way. The first was “Vaccine,” which he recently shared a music video for, and the second was “My Way.” Aside from Bobby Tarantino III, Logic is also promoting a joint project with Madlib as he’s shared a collection of singles that include “Raddest Dad” and “Mafia Music.”

Kanye West Doesn’t Deliver “DONDA” But Fans Are Hyped To Hear Jay-Z

by

After a weeklong hype about the album’s release, DONDA has yet to hit streaming services. Fans are holding out hope that when Kanye West said it was arriving on “Friday,” he possibly meant later on in the day and not at the stroke of midnight as everyone expected. Thursday (July 22) evening was an incredible moment for those that were able to make their way to the Mercedes-Benz Arena in Atlanta because they, at least, were able to hear DONDA in all of its glory at the mega-listening event.

There were plenty of noteworthy moments as attendees took to social media to share that Lil Baby, Playboi Carti, Pusha T, and *possibly* Kendrick Lamar were on the record. However, no one expected Jay-Z to make an appearance, and when his voice boomed over the speakers, Hov stole the show.

There are reports that Mr. Carter had only completed his verse on Thursday afternoon, which may play into DONDA‘s delay. There have been speculative reports regarding the alleged dissolution of Ye and Hov’s friendship over the years, and with this DONDA collaboration comes talks that Watch The Throne II may actually arrive. Kanye and Jay-Z’s 2011 joint album has been hailed as arguably one of the best Hip Hop records to date, so to hear these two back in action has fans excited.

Keep your fingers crossed that Ye has some sort of DONDA surprise as the weekend moves forward. Check out a few highlights from the listening event on Thursday in Atlanta along with several disappointing responses from the public after learning DONDA has yet to drop.
