North West has more going for her than most 9-year-olds do. Parents Kanye West and Kim Kardashian are both driven high-achievers in their respective fields, and North clearly inherited her dad’s artistic skills, as she showed with an Ice Spice drawing she shared earlier this year. She seems to have also inherited his confidence, as evidenced by a recent interaction she and Katy Perry shared.
Perry recently invited North on stage during a show at her ongoing PLAY residency in Las Vegas. Perry told North she’s a fan of her TikTok account and invited her to dance for the audience. North wanted to get her pals involved, asking Perry, “Can my friends come out with me?” North’s friends joined her on stage and Perry continued, “You’re 9 years old, that’s so cool. You know, at 9 years old, I started singing. That’s when I found my little spark. What do you want to be when you grow up?” After a brief pause, North responded simply and self-assuredly, “Everything,” which got some cheers from the crowd.
Somebody who’s not a fan of North’s TikTok is Kanye. In a video that resurfaced recently, Kanye vented about how he doesn’t want North to get “used” by the platform.
A Chicago woman is suing the directors of the 2021 Netflix documentary jeen-yuhs, which focuses on Kanye West, over her appearance in the film. Love claims she was incoherent during her cameo and intends to take legal action. According to a TMZ report, a Chicago woman named Cynthia Love, who was featured in Kanye West’s […]
Fans got an intimate look into Kanye West’s come-up last year when Netflix released Jeen-Yuhs. From directors Chike & Coodie, the documentary explored Ye’s early days as a producer trying to get a deal as a rapper. The wide-ranging doc also provided a BTS glimpse into his 2020 presidential campaign. However, the documentary has now led to a new lawsuit against Netflix and the directors. Per TMZ, a Chicago woman is suing the streaming giant and Chike & Coodie after they used footage of her dancing in an “altered state” for the documentary.
The woman behind the suit, Cynthia Love, appeared in the music video for Kanye’s “Through The Wire.” In the court documents, Love claims Chike & Coodie exploited her when they used an extended clip of her in the documentary. She’s spotted at the beginning of Ye’s video dancing inside a restaurant. Love alleges that she received $20 for her cameo. She added that she “altered state and not capable of providing consent” to being filmed. Furthermore, she’s upset that extended footage of her appearance made its way into the documentary.
Cynthia Love Vs. Netflix
Cynthia Love explained that the footage of her dancing inside the restaurant with Ye is a representation of the past – something she’s moved from. Love explained that she’s remained sober for 18 years and turned her life around completely. She said that she’s had long-term jobs and repaired relationships that were harmed. On top of that, she said that the documentary has revealed her past to those who weren’t aware of that part of her life, and watching those moments have forced her to re-live those days that she has since put behind her.
In her suit, Love also suggested that Coodie reached out after Netflix released the doc. She said that he texted her son, claiming that he assumed she died. As you could imagine, that extra bit of effort may have helped Netflix and Coodie & Chike dodge this lawsuit. Love claims she suffered emotional distress from the footage, which also took a hit to her reputation. She’s currently seeking Netflix and Coodie & Chike for a minimum of $30,000. We’ll keep you posted on any more details surrounding the lawsuit.

Lloyd Banks has revealed that his career in the early 2010s could have been very different. Banks has been in the news a lot as of late. He is currently promoting his upcoming albumThe Course Of The Inevitable III (Pieces Of My Pain). The G-Unit co-founder announced this week that the project would be released next Friday. Fans have been eager for Banks to drop something new Additionally, many will be waiting to see if the project can vault the 40-year-old back into the mainstream, Subsequently, Banks is now telling the story of the time he nearly linked up with Kanye West on the G.O.O.D Music label.
The Hip Hop Wolf recently shared a video of an interview Banks did with the Rap Radar Podcast. Banks revealed that were plans in the works for a G-Unit and G.O.O.D Music album. “it was supposed to be a G-Unit G.O.O.D. Music type of situation, ‘Christion Dior Denim Flow,’” he said. A collab between G-Unit and Kanye would surely have been legendary. However, Banks says the deal fell through. “I was on other records too, they never came out or whatever, the business didn’t get done. But yeah, that was probably like 2010/11,” he said. If Banks’ timing is correct, that would have been around the time of his third solo album.
Lloyd Banks Says Deal With G.O.O.D. Music Fell Through
Indeed, Hunger For More dropped in early 2010. Kanye himself is featured on the album. The project’s third single “Start it Up” features vocals from Ye and numerous other artists. The song performed decently on the charts, peaking at number 52 on the Hot 100. Although the album was well received, it didn’t generate the same buzz as Banks’ previous efforts.
However, Banks hasn’t fallen off completely. The “I’m So Fly” rapper has retained a loyal fan base over the years. Additionally, people always check in whenever any of the G-Unit alumni are working on something. Meanwhile, it is hard not to speculate where he would be if he had linked with Kanye in a greater capacity. That notwithstanding, Banks was part of one of the most influential groups in hip-hop history. He deserves his flowers regardless of how his next project performs. Moreover, It is unlikely that his supporters are going to count him out any time soon.
