Kanye West Once “Saved” A Dancer From Sexual Harassment

November 18, 2023 by newhiphopnews

A former backup dancer of Kanye West has claimed that the rapper once “saved” her from sexual harassment. “Of all the crazy headlines that always go up about Mr. Kanye West, I will always have a personal soft spot for him. I genuinely think he’s a good dude. I used to be a background dancer for Mr. Kanye West many, many years ago. It was when he came to Australia for the Splendour in the Grass show,” the woman began. She went on to explain that at the afterparty, she was being pressured to twerk by the other guests. However, at this point, she revealed that Kanye came to her rescue.

“Then out of nowhere, Kanye literally like bursts through them and was like, ‘Bro she said no!’ And I was like whoa! And he was like, ‘She said no, so stop asking her to do it alright?’ And they were like, ‘Okay, sorry bro!’ and they like backed up. And he came and sat next to me and he was like, ‘Look, if you don’t wanna do it, that’s fine. They’re just being dicks. You don’t to do anything – just have fun chilling!’ And I was like, oh my God! In that moment I felt really, really unsafe – like there was a bunch of guys asking me to do something that I didn’t wanna do and Kanye told him to back off!” she revealed.

However, it’s not all good news for Kanye at the moment. Kanye and his wife Bianca Censori are reportedly “on a break”, according to sources who spoke with The Daily Mail. Censori allegedly returned to her native Australia without the rapper earlier this month at the behest of her family. According to the paper’s source, Censori’s family has been begging her to leave Ye for some time. This comes after previous reports that Ye had turned the architect and Yeezy staffer into a “radicalized version of Kim Kardashian“. Furthermore, her family and friends became increasingly concerned throughout the couple’s recent months-long trip to Italy. Additionally, it appears their breaking point was reports that Ye had imposed a strict set of rules for Censori to live by.

“Her family has never been a fan of Ye, and those close to her have questioned whether marrying him was the right decision. He has been a lot happier and more focused with her around, but I think the relationship has taken its toll on her a bit, with everyone having their opinion. She may go back to him for the album launch. She loves the lifestyle, but I think it’s clear her family and friends would rather she didn’t,” the paper’s source claimed.

Beauty Katera started posting videos of her dancing and skating on Instagram in 2017 as a teenager. She soon gathered a large following of fans who loved to see her joyous dancing and skating at the rink, at home, and everywhere in between. Eventually, she became known as BeautyK to her followers.

On August 23, reports surfaced that a body was found near a burning car in Austell, Georgia. Police discovered that the car fully engulfed in flames was the one that Beauty was known to drive. Sadly, authorities ID’d the body as that of Beauty Katera in the wood line. Reportedly, she had been stabbed, so immediately, foul play was suspected.

Two days later, Louisiana detectives arrested Beauty’s boyfriend, Eugene Louis-Jocques. According to People Magazine, he was charged with murder, aggravated assault, and arson. Authorities took him into custody as a fugitive in St. Tammany Parish.

Beauty’s family told WSBTV that the two had only been dating for a short time. Eugene was also a skater and had recently moved to Georgia to be closer to Beauty. Her sister said that she found Eugene to be odd and “almost abnormally quiet,” but he was always taking her out and buying her flowers. However, Beauty’s mother said she got a “bad vibe about him.”

What Happens Next?

As of now, Eugene is currently awaiting extradition to Georgia, and no motive has been reported. Beauty Katera’s family, friends, and fans are in mourning, missing such a young, bright spirit. In the meantime, her loved ones are keeping her memory alive by watching her videos and seeing her at her happiest and best.

Beyonce Nip Slip Prevented By Dancer During “RENAISSANCE” World Tour

June 23, 2023 by newhiphopnews

When an artist embarks on a tour, mistakes are sure to happen – even if that artist is Beyonce. So far the 41-year-old’s RENAISSANCE World Tour has been running relatively smoothly, though we have seen some eyebrow-raising moments as of late. In Amsterdam, Queen B looked noticeably angry when the production crew seemingly missed their cue to help her off her giant horse. At the time Twitter users joked about someone being fired after the incident, and from the look on the “Halo” singer’s face at the time, we wouldn’t be surprised if they were right.

Things seemed to be going better when Beyonce reached Germany, but as Page Six reports, she nearly suffered a serious wardrobe malfunction while performing in a hot pink dress. As she sang a fan favourite from her new album, “BREAK MY SOUL,” one of the Houston native’s longtime dancers noticed she was unconsciously preparing to flash her audience as the strap on her outfit began to slip. The performer has been identified as one of the Les Twins (consisting of Laurent and Larry Nicolas Bourgeois), and he chivalrously shielded Bey from the crowd as she made any necessary adjustments.

As the video continues to gain traction on TikTok, the dancer is receiving immense praise for how he handled the situation. “Not the twins protecting her twins,” one person quipped. “He secured his spot on the next tour,” and “Those twins been with her a long time. I know she loves them,” others wrote. While this is the most major wardrobe malfunction we’ve seen on the RENAISSANCE Tour so far, cameras also caught Bey nearly losing her headpiece during “AMERICA HAS A PROBLEM” recently.

Amid her many tour stops in Europe this month, Beyonce found time to visit Pharrell Williams in Paris as he was making his Louis Vuitton menswear debut. Others in attendance included Zendaya, Megan Thee Stallion, Rihanna, and ASAP Rocky.

Janet Jackson recently shared a steamy onstage kiss with one of her backup dancers, Darius “Dario” Boatner. The make-out took place at one of the 57-year-old’s recent stops on her Together Again tour. The incident wasn’t the first time Jackson got “Nasty” on her tour. Last month, Janet turned some heads when she gave her audience a sensual, hands-on performance with another dancer, Mariusz Maniek Kotarski. Though viewers had mixed reactions to the passionate moment, most felt as though it was a necessary part of Jackson’s act.

“So I guess she not getting back with Jermaine,” one social media user comments on a clip of the kiss. Another claims Janet is “too old” for the onstage antics. “Y’all so cute lol,” one fan responds to haters, “Ma’am has BEEN doing this for ages. Who cares how old she is, she’s selling out shows and having fun. I’m here for it motha.”

Janet Jackson is joined by Ludacris on her current tour. Last month, Lil Kim filled in for the “Rollout” performer at the Allentown, Pennsylvania stop of the tour. After the show, Janet shared a heartfelt moment with Jackson backstage. “She represented me, a hood girl! I’m from the hood. I knew I could rap, but I was like, I wanted to do something different,” she said about the performer. Lil Kim continued, “I didn’t want to be the normal rapper. I love MC Lyte, I love Salt-N-Pepa, I love Queen Latifah – but I was like, ‘I want to do something different! I want to be a rap Janet Jackson.’”

Jackson was also joined by Busta Rhymes on the tour last month. They performed “What’s It Gonna Be?!” and Ludacris shared with the audience how the collaboration came out. He explained that he was driving when he heard Jackson on the radio claiming she’d like to collaborate with him, and how it almost led to him crashing his car. He later took to social media to thank her and call her a “queen.”
