Kim Kardashian West opened up about her crumbling marriage to Kanye West on the latest episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, telling her sisters that she feels like a “failure” after her third marriage didn’t turn out to be successful. 

The second-to-last episode of the series aired on Thursday night and one of the most emotional moments occurred when Kim broke down over a dish of cookies in the family’s vacation home. Yelling at her sisters and saying that she was on a diet, Khloé realized that Kim’s anger was a projection.

“Kim has been struggling privately behind camera about her relationship, and it’s tough because Kim is clearly redirecting so much of her frustration, and sadness, and anger,” said Khloé during a confessional. “Sometimes you just take things out on something that has nothing to do with what you’re going through. It’s not the cookie’s fault.”

Khloé went on to ask Kim how things were going in her relationship, which took her on an emotional rollercoaster.

“There’s no fighting. Now it’s all calm, so I just roll with it,” answered Kim, revealing that she had an argument with Kanye before leaving on the family trip to Lake Tahoe. “I just honestly can’t do this anymore,” she said through tears. “Why am I still in this place where I’m stuck for years? He goes and moves to a different state every year. I have to be, like, together so I can raise the kids. I think he deserves someone that can go support his every move and go follow him all over the place and move to Wyoming. I can’t do that. He should have a wife that supports his every move and travels with him and does everything, and I can’t.”

Kim lamented on her relationship woes, saying that she feels like a “failure” over her third unsuccessful marriage. She was previously married to music producer Damon Thomas and NBA star Kris Humphries. “I feel like a fucking failure, that it’s a third fucking marriage,” she said. “Yeah, I feel like a fucking loser, but I can’t even think about that. I want to be happy.”

The final episode of the series will air next week. 

Contrary to the “bad guy” role that Nicki Minaj has adopted over the past few years, the Beam Me Up Scotty rapper has often been a person to show love to others, whether it’s a feature for a rising artist’s new album or simply promoting someone on Instagram. A day after Nicki helped get Polo G’s tracklist trending, it appears that she also took the time to show a Jamaican businesswoman named Starr Dawkins some love too.

Taking to TikTok, Dawkins — who owns a vaginal health company called Sweet Cookie Wash — shared a video of herself smiling and blushing while listening to a voice message from Nicki Minaj. “Nicki Minaj sent me the sweetest voice note!” Dawkins writes.

Throughout the video, you can hear Nicki saying nice and empowering things like “It don’t make sense why you so damn pretty. And you know them b*tches gon’ be mad cause you brought out the thing thing. You know the thing thing. Your smile, your style, your skin. And the wig is laid! It ain’t laid like when Tae do it child, but it’s laid!”

“Anyway, most importantly, your heart is beautiful and your authenticity,” Nicki continues. “You’res just a real bad gyal! “I need you to hold your head high and act like you the mother f*cking star in any room you stand in and go have a good day. And stay out of people business. Get your own LLCs! I love you. Seriously, I love you.”

The message would have been enough to make any Barb go crazy, but halfway through the video, Dawkins reveals that she’s been viewers all along. No, the voice message is not from Nicki Minaj; it’s actually a spot-on impression by the Jamaicain businesswoman and social media sensation.

“Tricked you,” Dawkins writes. “This my voice ! I always hear I sound like her & TBH if Nicki was hyping me I think he would say this …”

Individually, Lil Durk and Lil Baby have been on the best runs of their careers. They’re both recognized as some of the obvious standouts among rap superstars, rising above the competition in the last few years. Together, they’ve got to be unstoppable, right?

Hip-hop is one of the only music genres where fans will consistently be blessed with collaborative work among artists. Rappers have historically bounced off of one another’s energy in the studio, often getting competitive with their peers. With Lil Durk and Lil Baby, two of the best in the game right now, we got to witness yet another iconic match-up as they went toe-to-toe for eighteen songs, inviting some of their famous friends, including Travis Scott, Young Thug, Meek Mill, and Rod Wave. 

The Voice of the Heroes is officially out now, marking the biggest hip-hop release from last night. As fans have been digesting the new music, some songs, like “2040” and “Hats Off,” have been pegged as some of the early standouts. People are impressed with the collaborations, but Durk and Baby’s pens are the ones being praised with people sharing their first impressions on social media.

He wants his fans to turn up to his music, but safely enough to not destroy the floor of a home. Earlier this week, we reported on the unfortunate moment with several graduating students were gathered together at an Airbnb to celebrate the end of their high school careers. In a clip that went viral, viewers can see the crowd close together in a room as they jump and dance to Young Nudy’s single “EA” featuring 21 Savage. Then, everything erupts in chaos as the camera goes flying and screams are heard.

“The party got too lit and the floor caved in and people got hurt,” a young man named Abraham Nelson wrote on a GoFundMe campaign he launched following the incident.  “We are now looking at $15,000 in damages Please donate if you can anything helps.”

Young Nudy was made aware of the party-gone-wrong and spoke with Rolling Stone about the incident. “One of my fans kept sending me that sh*t so I went and clicked on it. And then I seen the sh*t and was like ‘damn they done fell through the floor,'” the rapper said. The outlet asked if Nudy ever thought something like this would happen when he recorded the track. 

“Hell nah. You never know what the future gonna look like when you making the music,” he said. “I knew they was gon’ f*ck with it but I ain’t think they were about to god damn fall through the floor.” Nudy will reportedly be giving a contribution to the GoFundMe and shared why he decided to help with the repair costs.

“I just wanted to f*ck with em’ since they were f*ckin with me. And they some little high school kids, you know?” He also said that he’s never been to a party where things got that intense, and he dropped off advice for fans on how to enjoy his music safely.  “Make sure your house is goddamn-structured right. Before you throw a party with a huge amount of people, make sure that sh*t structured right. We don’t want nobody to hurt themselves. Even though that sh*t was lit, you feel me?
