Black Thought pulled up to Pitchfork for a new interview, revealing that he has grown detached from Kanye West’s music.

“I connect with Kanye’s music less now,” Black Thought tells Pitchfork. “Maybe it’s because of the rate at which he’s been putting out art and having to keep up. I think his process has become more assembly-line, which in many ways is the Motown model. It works. I don’t know if anything’s lost, but what is sometimes compromised is the personality. The main person it’s supposed to be about is sometimes overshadowed by all these other writers, producers, and people who are contributing. Kanye is less Kanye now than he was when I was a bigger Kanye fan.”

Kanye West’s Wife Bianca Censori Sparks Calls to Italian Authorities for Revealing Outfit

'Drink Champs' Episode Featuring Kanye West Pulled From YouTube as N.O.R.E. Offers Apologies

Kanye West’s wife, Bianca Censori, turned her hands in Italy as her beige bodysuit was quite revealing. The outfit has area residents asking for authorities to punish the model.

According to The Daily Mail, the bodysuit was so revealing, Censori would have to cover her nipples with a crossbody bag. The Italian Constitutional Court could fine Censori from $5,000 to $10,000 USD for her exposure in a place that minors could occupy. Censori was braless in the bodysuit.

A previous report states Kanye West reportedly smells a bit different these days. Reports state his “wife,” Bianca Censori, is turned off by his hygiene.

According to Radar Online, Ye’s fashion choice is to highlight his brilliant mind and hide a bit of weight, but when it all comes off “a serious stench” is released.

“He wears these outfits partly because he genuinely believes they showcase his fashion genius and forward-thinking,” the insider told Radar. “But it’s also to cover him having gained a little weight.”

Another added, “It’s a serious stench when the layers come off and he’s dripping in sweat head to toe — especially as he’s not big on showering — and poor Bianca’s nostrils are on the receiving end.”

Another insider noted that Kanye rarely uses deodorant, making matters worse.

Kanye’s Wife Bianca Censori Bares It All In Nude Outfit

Kanye West’s supposed wife, Bianca Censori, has a knack for catching attention like her husband. The 28-year-old architectural designer got some curious stares after sporting a nude outfit. Her “naked-style” bodysuit left nothing to the imagination by the looks of it. Cesori wore a pair of white heels with the daring outfit.

Kanye West’s impact on the women with whom he dates shows up in their fashion choices. From Amber Rose and Kim Kardashian to Julia Fox and his latest romance, he seems to have a strong influence on their fashion choices. Whether it’s what they wear, the color, or even how they style their hair. He often sparks conversation about his influence on their fashion choices.

Some Are Calling For Censori’s Arrest Over Her Sheer Outfits

According to the Daily Mail, there have been reports that Censori’s sheer outfits have sparked outrage among Italians. Besides the couple appearing to be enjoying their Italian getaway, critics have a major issue with her “tightfitting bodysuits that exposed her private parts.” Per the Italian Constitutional Court, a person who is even near a place with minors can face imprisonment for four months to four years or a fine ranging from 5,000 to 10,000 euros. While it’s unclear if there are charges against her, this situation will be something to watch.

Moreover, the publication recently did an in-depth investigation into the family and upbringing of the mysterious woman. In Australia, her family, the “Australian mob royalty,” got a long wrap sheet. Her father, Elia “Leo” Censori, was convicted of heroin possession in 1982 and received a five-year sentence. Similarly, her uncle, Eris, is referred to as “Melbourne’s Al Capone.” He was notably sentenced to death in Western Australia on murder charges. The family’s eldest brother, Edmondo, or “Eddie,” has faced convictions in Victoria for acts of violence, theft, and threats, DailyMail claims. Additionally, Bianca’s father’s former wife, Faye Glascott, spoke to the press about his illegal gambling exploits, but his current partner, Alexandra, refused to speak with the media when approached recently.

Travis Scott’s ‘UTOPIA’ Tops Billboard for Third Consecutive Week, Moves 93K Units in Vinyl

Travis Scott's 'UTOPIA' Tops Billboard for Third Consecutive Week

Travis Scott’s UTOPIA will rule the Billboard chart for a third consecutive week. The latest album from Travis Scott will bring in 185,000 copies in the past week, becoming the first album to have three straight weeks at the top since Drake’s Certified Lover Boy.

The third week ties Scott’s personal reign as Astroworld sat on top of the Billboard 200 for three weeks in 2018.

In the week ending August 17, Utopia earned 185,000 equivalent album units, of which album sales made up 99,000 (an increase of 169%), SEA units made up 86,000 (a decrease of 22%, or 124.13 million on-demand official streams of the streaming set’s 19 songs), and TEA units made up a minuscule amount (a decrease of 38%).

Due in part to a promotional offer at Scott’s official webstore, which reduced the Utopia vinyl LP’s price from $50 to just $5 for a limited time, the album’s sales increased in the set’s third week. Vinyl made up 93,000 of Utopia’s 99,000 sales for the week. With that amount, Utopia enjoyed its best vinyl sales week to date, the seventh-highest vinyl sales week for any album since Luminate started keeping track of sales in 1991, and the biggest week for an R&B/hip-hop album.

Travis Scott is getting ready to tour his new album, UTOPIA. Hitting Instagram, Scott announced that tour dates are on the way. “UTOPIA TOUR SOON, US AND EURO DATES SOON TO BE ANNOUNCE, I MISS THE ROAD I MISSS YALLL,” he wrote.

The tour is reported to start in September in Chicago and wrapping in November after Thanksgiving in Miami.

During Travis Scott’s CIRCUS MAXIMUS show broadcast live from Rome, Italy, Ye appeared on stage in all black.

As Ye took the stage, Travis Scott put the fans on notice: “Only one human being on this mother f***ing planet that has ever walked side by side with me through anything and every mother f***ing thing.”

Later on in his set, Scott also said, “There is no UTOPIA without Kanye West, there is no Travis Scott without Kanye West, there is no Rome without Kanye West”

During Ye’s time on stage, he performed “Praise God” and returned to his Graduation days for “Can’t Tell Me Nothing.” You can see the social media footage below.

T.I. Believes Kanye West No Longer Can ‘Read the Room’

T.I. Reflects On 'Trap Muzik' 20 Years Later, Claiming 'King Of The South' + More 16 20 screenshot

Kanye West was always outspoken, but it went a bit off the rails in recent years. T.I., like most of America, noticed and spoke about it during a recent visit to The Breakfast Club.

The King reflected on working with Ye in the past and revealed he was always cool, but at some point, he lost the ability to survey the landscape.

“I ain’t even gonna cap,” T.I. stated. “Kanye was more conversational. He read the room a lot better. It feels like Ye got to a point where he just stopped reading the room and just gave everything everywhere.”

Another change in Ye may be his scent. Reports state his “wife,” Bianca Censori, is turned off by his hygiene.

According to Radar Online, Ye’s fashion choice is to highlight his brilliant mind and hide a bit of weight, but when it all comes off “a serious stench” is released.

“He wears these outfits partly because he genuinely believes they showcase his fashion genius and forward-thinking,” the insider told Radar. “But it’s also to cover him having gained a little weight.”

Another added, “It’s a serious stench when the layers come off and he’s dripping in sweat head to toe — especially as he’s not big on showering — and poor Bianca’s nostrils are on the receiving end.”

Another insider noted that Kanye rarely uses deodorant, making the matters worse.

Kanye West has returned to the stage. During Travis Scott’s CIRCUS MAXIMUS show broadcasting live from Rome, Italy, Ye appeared on stage in all black.

As Ye took the stage, Travis Scott put the fans on notice: “Only one human being on this mother f***ing planet that has ever walked side by side with me through anything and every mother f***ing thing.”

Later on in his set, Scott also said, “There is no UTOPIA without Kanye West, there is no Travis Scott without Kanye West, there is no Rome without Kanye West”

T.I. Reflects On Kanye West’s Fall from Grace

by

T.I. discussed his relationship with Kanye West recently, saying that while the controversy was once his superpower, it became his downfall. During an appearance on The Breakfast Club, the Grand Hustle founder opened up about working with West in the early ’00s. Their musical careers began around the same time, and they collaborated several times over the years. It’s also no secret that these two have also been involved in their fair share of controversy. However, despite their shared history of drama over the years, T.I. claims West took things too far.

“Kanye was cool as hell,” T.I. said. “I ain’t even gonna cap. Kanye was more conversational. He read the room a lot better. It feels like Ye got to a point where he just stopped reading the room and just gave everything everywhere.” Last fall, West made several anti-Semitic comments, prompting huge brands like Gap, Adidas, and Balenciaga to cut ties with him. The disgraced rapper and mogul continued to anger fans by aligning himself with white supremacists like Alex Jones and Nick Fuentes.

Kanye Stopped Being Able To “Read The Room,” T.I. Says

As the interview continued, Tip reflected on the 20th anniversary of his second studio album, Trap Muzik. Tip also discussed working with West on the “Doin’ My Job” track. Also, he revealed that West played him some of his earliest hits from College Dropout, including “Through the Wire,” “Jesus Walks,” and “All Falls Down.”

In other related news, the rapper is looking to take his amateur comedy career to the next level. In July, it was announced that Tip would be making his television debut as a stand-up comic during Kevin Hart‘s upcoming Comic View reboot. “I’m thrilled to partner with BET for the return of ‘Comic View’ as part of Hartbeat Weekend, making this can’t-miss celebration of comedy, music, and culture,” Hart told Variety in a statement. Release dates for full episodes of Comic View have yet to be announced. However, they will be hitting BET at some point later this year. Be on the lookout for an update on the release dates.

Kanye West’s publicist Trevian Kutti has been charged in the Trump indictment for ‘pressuring Fulton County election worker Ruby Freeman’

Trevian Kutti was charged for allegedly pressuring Fulton County election worker Ruby Freeman in January of 2021. The 51-year-old allegedly went to the Georgia election worker’s home to persuade her into admitting election fraud accusations or face arrest
She introduced herself as a ‘crisis manager’ who was sent by a ‘high-profile individuals,’ to manage crises.

A publicist for Kanye West was charged in the Donald Trump indictment after being found tied to intimidation of election workers, prosecutors say.

Trevian Kutti was charged for allegedly pressuring Fulton County election worker Ruby Freeman in January of 2021.                                        

The 51-year-old went to the Georgia election worker’s home to persuade her into admitting baseless election fraud accusations – or face arrest within 48 hours, prosecutors claimed.

She introduced herself as a ‘crisis manager’ who sent by a ‘high-profile individual,’ to manage crises.  

The 62-year-old election volunteer said Kutti arrived unexpectedly at her door and introduced herself but didn’t say she worked for West, a longtime billionaire friend of then-President Trump.

Kutti – along with former president Trump – was among the 19 people charged on Monday in Fulton County, Georgia, for their alleged role in trying to overturn the 2020 election.

When Kutti arrived at Freeman’s home on January 4, 2021 – two days before the US Capitol riots in Washington, DC – Freeman called 911. By then, Freeman said, she was wary of strangers.

Kutti told Freeman that she worked ‘for some of the biggest names in the industry.’

Bodycam footage obtained by Reuters revealed Kutti offering to ‘move’ and ‘secure’ Freeman.

‘We have probably have 48 hours in which to move you,’ Kutti explained.

She said she would put in place a way to move Freeman from what ‘may be secured over the next 48 hours.’

Kanye West’s Twitter Return In The Works As Social Media Expresses Concern For Bianca Censori

by

When Kim Kardashian and Kanye West were publicly navigating their rocky divorce, it seemed as though the “Flashing Lights” artist would never be able to move on from the socialite. As she explored romance with Pete Davidson, her estranged husband engaged in radical displays of affection to win Kardashian back. He eventually changed tactics to unleashing hatred on the new couple, along with anyone else he felt like attacking. After taking some time away from the spotlight, West resurfaced late last year with a new woman, Bianca Censori. The couple’s avant-garde outfits have made them the subject of much discourse, including how controlling the Chicago native is over what his romantic partners wear.

“There are multiple scenes with him throwing out all of the clothes that she said she loved, with her crying saying this was very difficult,” Australian Association of Psychologists director Carly Dober told DailyMail when reflecting on Kimye’s tumultuous marriage. “It is not clear how much of this was dramatized for the cameras and viewers. Still, the fact remains that Kanye and Kim both publicly stated he had very clear ideas of how Kim should be dressing and her style did change throughout the relationship,” she added. Of course, his marriage to Censori is kept far more secretive, so it’s hard to say exactly what she’s feeling. Nevertheless, social media continues to discuss the often sombre expression on her face while out in revealing looks.

Twitter CEO Speaks on Kanye West’s Expected Return to the Platform

Speaking of social media, Twitter/X’s new CEO, Linda Yaccarino spoke about the Yeezy founder’s expected return to the platform after his ban for his aforementioned online antics. “Kanye who hasn’t rejoined the platform yet but is planning to do so will operate within the very specific policies that we have established that we’re clear on and everyone listening on Spaces can access themselves,” she clarified, as per HipHopDX.

“We also have to remember what’s at the core of free expression. You might not agree with what everyone’s saying,” Yaccarino reminded listeners. “We want to make it a healthy debate and discourse but free expression at its core will really only survive when someone you don’t agree with says something you don’t agree with… So deciding certain people are good or bad are not a universal thing.” Do you think that Kanye West’s return to Twitter will result in more chaos for the father of four? Let us know in the comments, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.
