Sarah Silverman Thinks She Knows Why Rihanna Didn’t Bring Out Kanye During Her Super Bowl Performance: ‘There Wasn’t Enough Room For Her Dancers To Form A Swastika’

by

Whether you loved it or not, people can’t stop talking about Rihanna’s Super Bowl Halftime Show, which might go down in history as the most watched public pregnancy announcement in the history of the world. While Donald Trump wasn’t impressed by what he called an “EPIC FAIL” of a performance, RiRi somehow managed to overcome the former president’s review and dethrone Taylor Swift as Spotify’s top artist.

Amongst detractors, two of the biggest complaints seemed to be Rihanna’s decision to not turn the halftime spectacle into a who’s who of former collaborators. Yet she was also criticized for “honoring” Kanye West by including “All of the Lights” in her medley of hits — a song she performed with Ye, which appeared on his 2010 album, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. Which only goes to prove that you can’t please everyone — though Sarah Silverman has a pretty solid theory as to why the artist formerly known as Kanye wasn’t invited by Rihanna to participate. As the comedian explained during her first night as The Daily Show’s newest guest host:

Some people were surprised that Rihanna didn’t bring out Kanye West during “All of the Lights.” But when you think about it, it makes sense. Because there wasn’t enough space for her dancers to form a swastika.

While the comment was met with some surprise by the audience, Silverman assured viewers that “I can say that because I’m a Nazi.”

You can watch Silverman’s full review of Rihanna’s performance — and how she upped the bar for pregnant women everywhere — above.

Sheek Louch Would Tell Kanye “Suck My D*ck” If Invited To The Studio

by

Kanye West’s anti-semitic comments led many fans to dump his products while his collaborators have seemingly turned their back on him. 2021’s Donda became a huge return for Ye and brought him back in tune with hip-hop’s major players. Megastars like Travis Scott and Lil Baby appeared on Donda, along with legends like Styles P, Jadakiss, and Sheek Louch.

Unfortunately for Ye, it seems like at least one member of the LOX wouldn’t return to the studio if invited. Sheek Louch recently sat down with DJ Vlad where he stated that he’s “not with anything [Ye’s] talking about, period.” Even though they’ve developed a professional relationship, Sheek Louch explained he doesn’t stand for hateful comments.

“A lot of stuff probably wouldn’t have happened – I’m not talking about no fuckin’ sneaker deals or none of that shit. Say those comments was made before that. You know we wouldn’t have went out there. No one would’ve done nothing.”

From there, he explained that even if another opportunity to collaborate with Ye came about. He explained that he would decline but he wouldn’t do it in a polite manner.

“I’m not doin’ it!” Sheek Louch told Vlad. “I might say the shit Fat Joe said he’ll stab people for,” he added, referencing Joe’s interview where he detailed the repercussions of telling someone, “suck my d*ck.”

“To the frank stand, dawg! I’m not doing it,” he added. “Besides the money, maybe get some help and apologize for all the shit you said to people.”

Afterward, Sheek Louch commended Pusha T, who Consequence recently criticized, for distancing himself from G.O.O.D Music.

“He’s solid. Good for you, bro,” he said. “You ain’t gotta hate [Ye] but dawg, I can’t stand for the shit he’s talking right now.”

Australian Jewish Orgs Want Kanye West Banned From Country

by

It’s said Kanye West is visiting our friends Down Under in an effort to bond with his new in-laws, but Australia’s Anti-Defamation Commission (ADC) wants the rapper ousted. Although we haven’t heard much from West in recent weeks, his racially insensitive, anti-Semitic remarks have been imprinted in pop culture. The Rap mogul has been banned from several social media platforms, and many lucrative business deals were ended.

It was revealed that he allegedly married 27-year-old Bianca Censori, an architect that reportedly worked for Yeezy. The Australian designer is said to have wed West in a private ceremony. They have allegedly made their way to her home country to visit her relatives.

However, Australia Anti-Defamation Commission has penned a statement about the rapper’s visit. They want the country to ban West.

“Calling for violence and hate must have consequences, and Australia should not put out the welcome mat and provide a platform to a hatemonger who spews threats against the Jewish community and peddles conspiracy myths about Jewish power, greed and control,” Dr. Dvir Abramovich, Chairman of the civil rights organization ADC, told Billboard.

“This kind of rhetoric is dangerous and has real-world consequences,” Abramovich also stated. “Given the more than 30 million followers that this person has and who may start believing that his demonization of the Jewish community and that they must act.”

“Allowing Kanye into Australia would also send the wrong signal about our nation and violate our core values of tolerance, diversity and respect. At a time of rising antisemitism in Australia and increasing vilification, his presence in the country, revolting anti-Jewish propaganda and incitement, and abhorrent rhetoric poses a significant risk to the Jewish community.

“On the basis of his record of demonization of the Jewish people (’death con 3 on JEWISH PEOPLE’) we urge Minister Giles to use his powers under section 501 of The Migration Act and refuse Kanye entry.”

The Australian Jewish Association also fired off an open letter asking for Ye to be blocked from entering the country.

“Antisemitism is at elevated levels in Australia, part of a worldwide trend. Multiple recent antisemitic incidents across Australia have specifically referenced Kanye West,” they said. “Including graffiti in Melbourne and leaflets in Brisbane.”

It is unclear if any steps will actually be taken. Meanwhile, West has not spoken about the rumors of his new marriage. It has been further suggested that West is currently working on his 2024 campaign for President of the United States.

50 Cent Speak On Kanye: “He Stepped On A Landmine”

by

We’re closing out the week with a bang, thanks to Kanye West. This morning (January 13), rumors surfaced that West had remarried, setting social media on fire. The rapper reportedly wed Yeezy architect Bianca Censori, the woman he was recently seen with in Beverly Hills. While details regarding this rumored marriage continue to take over timelines, a clip of 50 Cent on Big Boy’s Neighborhood has also stolen attention.

Prior to Ye’s recent news, Fif caught up with the famed show and addressed a wide range of topics related to Hip Hop. He also admitted he owed Megan Thee Stallion an apology after trolling her over Tory Lanez. Elsewhere in the conversation, Big Boy wanted to know 50 Cent’s thoughts on Kanye West.

“I don’t know what to—I really didn’t know what the goal was,” said Fif. “‘Cause he just was sayin’ everything you’re not supposed to say. I think, intentionally. It was White Lives Matter first. And then nobody jumps on his because… It didn’t have that effect. You angered some people with that and then just taking it a step further. He just stepped on a landmine.”

50 Cent was also asked about West’s terminated deal with Adidas following the Yeezy mogul’s anti-Semitic remarks. Fif noted that “corporations have guidelines,” and even if you have freedom of speech, it can still have consequences.

“He shouldn’t have done that,” the Power creator said. “What is the goal? What was the purpose of that?”

Previously, 50 Cent said West should “master the art of shutting the f*ck up.” With the rumors of a new marriage just months after he finalized his divorce from Kim Kardashian, we expect to hear much more from Ye in the near future.

D.L. Hughley Compares Kanye West To Lucifer

by

The beef between D.L. Hughley and Kanye West is well-documented. They seem unlikely to have tension, but following West’s anti-Semitic rants, Hughley came forward. The legendary comedian argued that if Kanye was a woman, he would be under conservatorship like Britney Spears.

In a new interview with VladTV, Hughley again tackles West’s controversies. “I really fault a lot of these people who are taking advantage,” he began. “Well, I can’t say they’re taking advantage.” However, he doesn’t understand why West’s team allows him to jump from one outlet to another, knowing he would make unhinged statements.

Vlad brought up West stating that his mother, Michael Jordan’s father, and Bill Cosby’s son were all sacrificed. He also detailed the circumstances surrounding Donda West’s untimely death following cosmetic surgery. Vlad claims he investigated the story, and it was far from a sacrifice.

“I think that—biblically, Lucifer was a cherub. He was—his name means Morning Star. Lucifer was beautiful and he was God’s minister of music,” Hughley replied. “He was exalted, and he was perfect. And Lucifer had seen God. He knew that he was created by him. But Lucifer was so charismatic and so talented, he talked other angels in trying to bum rush heaven.”

“If talent and charisma is so mesmerizing, so intoxicating, it can make angels rise up against God,” Hughley continued. “It can make us alter our understanding of things. We’ll start to believe things. That is the most dangerous thing about what’s going on here.”

“It says a lot that a man who loves Hitler and Trump, it says a lot that you love those two people. And it says even more that people are contorting themselves to make that make sense.”

Meanwhile, after declaring his admiration of Adolf Hitler, saying Nazis aren’t all bad, and repeatedly speaking negatively about the Jewish community, West has been silent. He has promised he will attempt the presidential nomination in 2024, and it’s expected that he will reemerge with the details of his campaign.

Why Did Milo Yiannopoulos Really Leave Ye’s Campaign?

by

As Ye’s most recent scandal continues to unravel, questions are being raised about the people he’s chosen to be a part of his circle. On the heels of an expected 2024 run for President, he has recently been spotted with some questionable company.

The disgraced rapper has surprisingly continued to make press runs with Nick Fuentes, a documented white supremacist. On top of being a live streamer, he is also a political commentator. 

British far-right political pundit Milo Yiannopoulos prepares to host the ‘Bishops Enough Is Enough’ rally at the MECU Pavilion November 16, 2021 in Baltimore, Maryland. Organized to coincide and run counter to the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops at the nearby Marriott Baltimore Waterfront, the conservative prayer meeting and convention was organized by the far-right Catholic news outlet Saint Michael’s Media, also known as Church Militant. (Photo by Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images)

This is why he’s been around Ye lately – to assist in the Chicago native’s anti-Semitic-driven campaign. Subsequently, it’s no surprise that many of his recent comments, including telling Jewish people to forgive Hitler, are backed by Fuentes. 

Milo Yiannopoulos Backs Out

British alt-right political commentator Milo Yiannopoulos was another member of the 45-year-old’s campaign. Although his presence didn’t last long. He was fired from the campaign on Sunday (December 4).

Daily Beast reporter Will Sommer believes the only person really winning from all of these antics is Fuentes. According to his sources, Yiannopoulos could have left the campaign out of fear that Fuentes is gaining too much influence over Ye.

The white supremacist is “so vocally antisemitic in a way that some of these other figures are not,” says Sommer. “He’s absolutely thrilled by this whole thing.” 

On Tuesday (December 6), it was reported that Yiannopoulos charged $116,000 to the father of four’s team via an invoice. Overall, he believes he’s owed the money for his service working as an advisor and campaign consultor.

However, according to TMZ, they never actually had a financial agreement in place.

Sommer was the first to break the news of the split. “Milo Yiannopoulos has been fired from the Ye / Kanye entourage after a series of disastrous media appearances that saw the candidate praising Hitler,” he stated.

Ultimately, it’s scary to hear about the harmful influences that Ye is choosing to surround himself with. Do you think Yiannopoulos was right in removing himself from the campaign when he did? Comment below.

UFC fighter Natan Levy Calls Out Ye, Gets Hit With Hate

by

Natan Levy had a big weekend in the UFC as he won a fight over Genaro Valdez by unanimous decision. Immediately after the fight, he decided to use his platform to take aim at none other than Kanye West. Levy is Jewish, and as one can imagine, he has taken offense to Ye’s rhetoric.

Overall, Levy’s message to Ye was a strong one. In the video clip down below, you can even hear him challenge Kanye to meet face-to-face. It’s a pretty strong statement, although Levy just wanted to speak up for his people. “Kanye West, if you’ve got a problem with me or my people, come see me, bro,” he said.

Natan Levy Gets Pushback

While speaking with TMZ this week, Levy revealed that he actually got quite a bit of hate following his statement. However, he made sure to note that he had also been hit with some love from the sports world. Needless to say, Levy’s statement mattered a great deal to people.

“My interview, most of the comments are antisemitic. Most of the comments say, ‘Hey, look, actually I think Kanye is right,’” Natan Levy said. “I’m always getting a lot of hate just for being who and what I am, which I’m fine with. It’s not fun, but, right now I’m getting more.

“I’m also getting a lot of love. There is also a lot of positive out there. I’m getting a lot of love. A lot of reinforcement. I’m getting a lot of friends, a lot of people who speak up. Post the video and share it and saying ‘stop the hate.’”

Despite the hate, Levy seems eager to get back into the Octagon. He currently has a record of 8-1, and he has the potential to ascend even higher within the UFC. Hopefully, he is able to make it happen.

Stay tuned to HNHH as we will continue to bring you the latest news and updates from around the sports world.

Reporter Falsely Claims Van Jones Apologized For Black Community’s Reaction To Ye

by

People of all backgrounds have come to defend the Jewish community against Kanye West’s antics, but Van Jones was accused of saying Black people weren’t doing enough. West has been on a controversial press run as he openly praises Adolf Hitler and Nazis. The rapper claims Jewish people need to forgive the genocidal dictator as Ye travels with white supremacist Nick Fuentes.

The internet reacted swiftly, with several Black leaders, influencers, and entertainers standing in solidarity with the Jewish community. They have denounced Ye’s rhetoric and deemed it inexcusable, but political reporter Jacob Kornbluh tweeted Van Jones suggested they have been “silent.”

Read More: Kanye West Tells Jewish People To Forgive Hitler

While giving a speech at the United Jewish Appeal Federation of New York event this week, it was reported that Jones apologized “for the silence of my community.” He allegedly said his “community” somehow permitted “an African American icon praising Hitler and Nazis” while acting “like we don’t know where that hatred came from.”

He was also reported as saying the “silence is over.” Adding, “You’re going to see a change going forward.”

After the news of Jones’s speech made its way to social media, people had questions for the political commentator. Some took issue with Jones suggesting that the Black community hasn’t abhorred West’s anti-Semitism. Others weren’t happy with him apologizing for Black people as a whole when it was Ye who offended the masses. Elsewhere, some people believed this created more division than unification. However, all was not how it seemed.

Kornbluh later returned to Twitter to clarify a few things. He stated that Jones didn’t apologize on behalf of the Black community as first said. “To the contrary: he stressed that many in his community are speaking out forcefully,” political reporter Kornbluh wrote. “In speech, he said he was sorry that he + others didn’t do more before Kanye. Apologies for any confusion.”

After the follow-up, people were angered that such a mistake was shared publicly to create a viral moment. Check out a few reactions below.

Van Jones Apologizes To Jewish Community For Ye’s Anti-Semitism

by

Van Jones is speaking up against Ye’s recent antics and anti-semitic comments. The political commentator has publicly apologized to Jewish people on behalf of the Black community.

Jones opened up about his thoughts on the hateful language being used by Ye, “an African American icon.” The comments were made during his appearance as a keynote speaker at the United Jewish Appeal Federation of New York.

Van Jones Makes His Apology

“You’re going to see a change going forward,” Jones promised to the crowd after apologizing “for the silence of my community.”

The CNN host ultimately called for unison. “The reason this country is a democracy at all is because Black and Jewish people have loved each other, and helped each other, and supported each other, and stood up for each other,” he continued.

Twitter Reacts

The comments have surprisingly caused some division on social media. Some Twitter users have chimed in to express their disapproval of the author’s comments. The majority of these users seem to disagree with Jones’ implication that black people have been otherwise silent on the topic.

“Van Jones really stood up there and blamed the whole black community for Kanye,” another user tweeted.

In the meantime, Ye has continued to dangerously defend Nazis. Rather than apologizing for his dangerous comments, he has decided to double down. In his latest interview with Proud Boys founder Gavin McInnes, the disgraced rapper continued to praise Hitler. “Jewish people can’t tell me who I can love and who I can’t love,” he spewed.

The Chicago native continues to be banned from social media platforms like Twitter for his unpredictable and hurtful behavior. As a result, mainstream platforms are being careful as to not allow this hate speech to continue on their outlets. The interview aired on Censored.TV, an alt-right streaming platform. White supremacist Nick Fuentes, who has been spotted out with Ye a lot lately, appeared beside him for the interview.

[WATCH] Kanye West Demands That Jewish People To “Forgive Hitler”

by
kanye walks out of interview

Controversial music and fashion mogul Kanye West has ordered that Jewish people forgive Adolf Hitler, the German leader from the early 1900s who was credited with human extermination of over six million Jewish people across Europe.

West stood his ground when talking about his admiration for Hitler with Proud Boys founder

West stood his ground when talking about his admiration for Hitler with Proud Boys founder Gavin McInnes, telling Jewish people that they should just “let it go.”

“So, you love Jews, but you’re canceled for antisemitism because you also love Hitler, but you love everyone equally,” McInnes said.

“Yeah, Jewish people can’t tell me who I can love and who I can’t love,” Ye replied. “You can’t force your pain on everyone else. Jewish people, forgive Hitler today. Let it go, let it go, and stop trying to force it on other people. Goodnight.”

Kanye also tried to downplay the Holocaust by alleging abortion is “the Holocaust that were dealing with right now” and said that Jewish people are responsible for Hitler’s bad reputation.

Yeezy also said that he contends Jewish people “should work for Christians,” and if he becomes President in 2024, he would “hire a Jewish person in a second if I knew they weren’t a spy and I could look through their phone and follow through their house and have a camera all in their living room.”
