Kanye West Reportedly Has Miami Hotel Staff Annoyed By His Stay & Late Night Antics: Report

January 4, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kanye West recently stayed in Miami for Art Basel and the start of his tumultuous Vultures album rollout with Ty Dolla $ign. While he will likely return to the Floridian city in due time, odds are that he might not receive the same warm greeting if he tries to find a room at the same hotel. Moreover, Ye stayed at the Four Seasons five-star hotel at the Surf Club resort, which is outside the typical spot for all the parties, South Beach. Still, according to alleged sources who spoke to Page Six in a new report, he apparently kept bringing in late night guests that had the staff and security feeling very frustrated with him.

In addition, the Chicago artist had a recording studio set up at the Four Seasons, and for the night of his Vultures listening party in December, he had about 15 black SUVs going in and out of the property until 5AM. It looks like he isn’t in Miami anymore, but perhaps hotels should start prepping for stricter treatment if he returns. After all, Kanye West isn’t exactly known for his constancy, whether personally or financially, and things don’t seem to be going in a more calm direction. But we never really know with him, do we?

For example, comedian Katt Williams recently gave his take on the whole Kanye situation and why this is nothing new for him. Specifically, the comedian compared him to someone with a learning disability when it comes to his behavior and decision-making. According to him, the 46-year-old isn’t in a position to put in rational thought due to his mental illness, but people still fuel the fire by calling him a genius and buying into it. Regardless, this was still more of a defense than an attack, and a nuanced way to address our constant obsession with him contrasted with his actual personal and mental needs.

Meanwhile, there’s still a lot of discussion about the “Say You Will” mogul’s Hebrew apology to the Jewish community. Since than post, he’s been pretty quiet on new release and social media activity fronts, so we still don’t have a follow-up to let us know whether this is a legitimate new direction or a fluke. Hopefully we find out sooner rather than later. For more news and the latest updates on Kanye West, come back to HNHH.

Fivio Foreign Sends Kanye West New Verse, Hints At “Vultures” Appearance

December 30, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Fivio Foreign and Kanye West have quite the collaborative history together, so to see it move forward is really no surprise. Still, fans are nonetheless excited because the former tweeted on Friday night (December 29) that he just turned his verse in to the latter. As such, there’s plenty of reason to believe that these two rappers will be coming through with some more heat together in the near future. But this is Ye we’re talking about; entire institutions could dedicate millions of dollars to researching every time this man has promised music that never saw the light of day. But we’re close to the New Year; can’t we be optimistic one more time before 2024 rolls around?

Jokes aside, this is most likely going to show up on Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign’s collaborative album Vultures– well, if it ever ends up dropping, that is. There’s also the change that Fivio Foreign’s verse just doesn’t fit into the final cut, which is another common trait of Yeezy album cycles and rollouts. Regardless, it’s become curious to see how the New York drill exponent became one of the Chicago artist’s closest musical companions in recent years. There’s a certain chemistry when they link even when the end result isn’t perfect, so there’s always potential there.

What’s more is that this new collaboration might replace a recent and controversial one as Fivio Foreign’s current hot topic. For those unaware, he featured on Lil Mabu’s “TEACH ME HOW TO DRILL,” a pretty self-aware song about a hardened drill MC teaching a preppy white counterpart about the genre and lifestyle. It’s at least much more palatable than some of Mabu’s past work, which didn’t take this tongue-in-cheek approach that’s cognizant of its troll appeal. We’re not saying that’s a good thing, but you have to know what you are and what you’re up against if you want to be successful.

Meanwhile, with Kanye dropping shoes instead of songs these days, we’ll see whether this Fivio verse ever comes out. Where do you think he might fit in on Vultures? Let us know your predictions on these topics down in the comments section below. Also, stick around on HNHH for the latest news and updates on Fivio Foreign and Kanye West.

Kanye West Gets “Vultures” Tattoo, Matching With Ty Dolla Sign

December 29, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Ty Dolla $ign isn’t the only one rocking some Vultures ink, as his collaborative partner for this album just got one to match. Moreover, new pictures emerged on social media of Kanye West getting a small “¥$” tattoo on his arm at an unknown location. Ty, on the other hand, got it on the side of his head just above his right ear, but unfortunately for die-hards excited for the full-length team-up, this new artwork doesn’t set its release in stone. Currently, some fans still think it’ll drop before 2023 comes to a close, whereas others expect an early January release. Most people, though, probably won’t believe it until they see it on a DSP.

Such is the album rollout process of Kanye West, an artist who can dangle bait in front of starving admirers more effectively than most… for better or worse. At least this new tattoo confirms that he’s committed to the project and that it holds enough weight for him to fight for it. Most recently, Ye and Ty premiered a new song “Unlock” on the radio after rumors that their Backstreet Boys-sampling single “Everybody” would drop did not manifest. As such, we can assume that the duo will continue to seek distribution and finally put Vultures in fans’ ears.

Of course, this isn’t even taking into account the various controversies that dogged this album– and the Chicago artist, for that matter. Delays, beef, rants, canceled live events, celebrity appearances, and most prominently, the actually abhorrent and damaging remarks that Kanye West has espoused against the Jewish community, the Black community, other rappers, and more. On that last note, it at least seems like he’s starting a process of accountability through an apology in Hebrew. It’s a small step, and one that many organizations and individuals blasted, but hopefully the first in a longer and more fulfilling journey.

Meanwhile, with the “¥$” duo now repping their chemistry wherever they go, there’s no telling where Vultures is going next. Do you think it’s entering the ranks of Yandhi, TurboGrafx16, and So Help Me God as legendary scrapped projects from the Yeezy mogul or will it be more of a disappointing Donda 2 scenario? If it drops, will it stack up against his classics? Let us know what you think in the comments section down below, and stay posted on HNHH for more on Kanye West.

Chaka Khan Apologizes To Kanye West For “Silly Grudge” Over Sped-Up Vocal Sample

December 29, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Chaka Khan just got inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, a deserving accolade for such a superstar. Thus, she reflected on her career highlights, personal experiences, and so much more during a recent interview with Rolling Stone. What will probably prove to be of most interest to hip-hop fans is the singer’s assessment of her relationship with Kanye West. For those unaware, he sampled her track “Through The Fire” on his first-ever single “Through The Wire,” something that she critiqued for many years since. Now, though, it seems like it’s all water under the bridge.

“To clarify something, the reason you were annoyed with Kanye West about ‘Through the Wire’ is that he asked to use your sampled voice, but didn’t make it clear that it’d be sped up, right?” the publication asked. “Yeah. And you know, that was my fault, too, for feeling salty about that in any way,” Chaka Khan responded. “Because if I understood the rap game more completely, like I do now, then that wouldn’t have been a big deal to me. No, I’m done [having it bother me]. Please. I’m not hanging on to any silly grudges.”

Of course, Kanye West is no stranger to sampling issues, whether from an artistic standpoint or actually clearing it. Most recently, that’s what’s happening with his song “Everybody” off his yet-to-be-released collab album with Ty Dolla $ign, Vultures. The song samples The Backstreet Boys, and it looks like the publishers in charge of the sampled record refuse to give the rights over as of writing this article. It’s just one of many ways in which this album rollout turned chaotic. We still doubt it will ever see the light of day.

Meanwhile, Ye isn’t just receiving apologies from a legend; he’s also giving them. Everyone has a different take on his apology in Hebrew to the Jewish community for his antisemitic remarks. While some are forgiving and others don’t buy it for a millisecond, at least it’s better than complete silence.

Consequence Thinks Kanye West Owes Him An Apology In New Instagram Rant

December 28, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Depending on who you ask, the answer to the question of when Kanye West fell out of public favor due to his controversies could be either last year or over a decade ago. However, one person that pretty consistently supported him is fellow rapper, longtime friend, and close associate Consequence. Despite all the antisemitism, unkept musical promises, and so many more antics, he stood by Ye’s side and defended him against many forces. But now, it seems like the Queens MC is done trying to defend someone who clearly doesn’t appreciate his backing. In fact, he thinks that the Chicago artist doesn’t even acknowledge it.

“I’m posting this clip of the YZY Pods because I was asked to by a staff member,” Consequence wrote on Instagram on Thursday (December 28), posting a clip of Kanye West’s new footwear. “But I have to get something off my chest regardless of the consequences… I have always lent my love, support and expertise to YE since ConMan Productions circa 2002. So @kanyewest NEVER again say in public or to others in private that you are ALONE. That’s the biggest SLAP IN THE FACE you could give to your TEAM.

Consequence Finally Calls Out Kanye West

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Consequence (@constv)

“Guys like me, Don C, Monop, GL, Doe, IBN, Arrow and even Virgil (RIP) have given you big portions of our Adult lives so that we could all be ‘The Bulls,’” Consequence continued. “But we didn’t help you become Jordan so you could turn into Jerry Krause and start playing 3D Musical chairs wit da bros!!! You can be the one with the Money And even the Power But I will always need my RESPECT. If you can apologize to the Jewish community in Hebrew… Then maybe you should apologize to a few of your guys in English. Love you bro. But This Is 192.”

Meanwhile, this is a far cry from Con blasting other G.O.O.D. Music artists for not defending the Yeezy mogul. Maybe this was simply the final straw in this dynamic. Surely this won’t be the end of this chapter in their lives, and hopefully there’s a happier ending than where we’re headed right now. With that in mind, log back into HNHH for the latest news and updates on Consequence and Kanye West.

Kanye West’s Apology To Jewish People Lamented By White Supremacist Nick Fuentes

December 28, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Not everyone is fully satisfied with Kanye West’s recent apology to the Jewish community for his antisemitic remarks… in fact, few people are. In this example, though, a former close collaborator of his for his failed presidential campaign– and someone who endorsed and espoused his abhorrent ideologies– is angry for all the wrong reasons. Moreover, conservative pundit Nick Fuentes, known for his white supremacist bigotry, recently expressed disappointment at Ye’s apology on his web program. While it’s not a very explicit clip when it comes to his disdain for the people of Israel, it’s clear what he’s really mad about.

“Kind of a big, tough blackpill for all of us to swallow,” Nick Fuentes said of Kanye West’s apology. “Disappointing, but not really a surprise. He apologized and it’s so over. It’s a total capitulation. I never thought I would see it.” However, this isn’t the only reason people took issue with this request for forgiveness. On the other side of the political spectrum– and even for those who sadly aren’t far off from his views– many people allege that he used artificial intelligence to generate this statement, which makes his plea much more disingenuous.

Furthermore, others think that this is just a ploy to generate more success for Kanye West’s yet-to-be-released collab album with Ty Dolla $ign, Vultures. Pete Rosenberg in particular had an interesting theory on this subject. He thinks that the Chicago artist did this so that folks could clear samples for this upcoming project, and believes the A.I. accusations hold up. “No part of me believes his apology,” the media personality expressed. “The Hebrew part was so either unintentionally or intentionally offensive. As if, like, American Jews can just read Hebrew without vowels. Like, bro, it’s just another offensive thing here.”

Meanwhile, the 46-year-old’s Balmain jacket supposedly appeared in pictures from the Kardashians’ holiday party. As such, many assume that the West-Kardashian family actually got together in L.A. for the season, which people didn’t expect given previous alleged reports. Maybe this reconnection, and this apology, are part of him truly seeking accountability. Hopefully he keeps making Nick Fuentes angry by trying (the key word here) to right his wrongs. On that note, check back in with HNHH for the latest news and updates on Kanye West.

Kim Kardashian Takes Son Saint West To Disneyland After Kanye West Visited

December 27, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Kim Kardashian is certainly not one to let Kanye West steal the spotlight when it comes to family Disneyland adventures. In fact, she’s making sure the Disneyland fun is evenly spread in the Kardashian-West household. After Kanye West’s recent Disneyland adventure with their daughter North and wife Bianca Censori, Kim took her son, Saint West, on a magical trip just a few weeks later. On Wednesday, Kim and Saint enjoyed the wonders of Disney California Adventure Park. TMZ captured their escapade on video.

Moreover, the video footage offers a glimpse into their whirlwind on the Silly Symphony Swings. Showcasing Saint effortlessly holding onto his Yeezy kicks while Kim masterfully manages her phone. This dynamic duo proves they are well-versed in the Disney experience, confidently navigating the rides like seasoned pros. The Kardashian-West family’s knack for turning the happiest place on earth even happier is on full display. However, the Kardashian-West Disney chronicles don’t conclude with Kim and Saint’s enchanting day. Earlier in the month, North was spotted at Disneyland, enjoying quality time with Kanye and his new wife, Bianca Censori. When Kanye isn’t busy working on the final touches to his upcoming album Vultures, he makes sure to spend the downtime with his kids.

Furthermore, the video captured them all, including some of Saint’s friends, eagerly waiting in line for the Incredicoaster. However, reports suggest the group decided to step away from the line after about 10 minutes. Leaving fans intrigued about the sudden change. Whether it was due to a ride malfunction, someone falling short of the height requirement, or simply a change of heart.

In the realm of celebrity family fun, the Kardashian-Wests continue to prove that Disneyland is not just a one-time affair. Whether it’s Kanye and North or Kim and Saint, the magic of Disney consistently calls. In other news, Kim Kardashian shared holiday family photos on IG which showcased her and the kids dressed to the nines. Although Kanye was not present in the pics, his presence was felt in other ways. North West made sure to rock his Balmain jacket from 2016 Met Gala. They all looked stunning for the holiday photos! Let us know your thoughts on HNHH.

Kanye West Posts First Instagram Story In A Long Time, Still Sparks Backlash

December 24, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Kanye West just posted on his Instagram Story for the first time in a while, following a couple of months of deactivation. Moreover, he reposted a picture from Russian fashion designer Gosha Rubchinskiy of someone wearing a T-shirt of his “upcoming” Ty Dolla $ign collab album Vultures. For those unaware, Ye found himself in even more controversy by appointing Rubchinskiy Yeezy’s head of design, given accusations that he pressured underage males into sending him explicit pictures. Regardless, this marks his return to the social media platform, and we’ll see in the coming weeks whether he’s actually going to use it a lot.

Furthermore, this contributes to the unsurprisingly wild, turbulent, often bigoted, and always combative rollout for this new project. Between listening events, rants, canceled performances, uncleared samples and features, plus delayed release dates, it’s all been quite chaotic. But some folks see through the spectacle and identify it for what it is: a spectacle. For example, Cam’ron recently gave his take on this new cycle, saying that it’s all just a “performance” to garner attention.

Kanye West Returns To Instagram

Meanwhile, other rappers are taking the opposite approach: looking at Kanye West purely for the music, impact, and history together, and not for anything else. For example, ScHoolboy Q recently performed at TDE’s tenth annual holiday show, and had some defensive words for his “THat Part” collaborator. “I don’t know about y’all, but I ain’t canceled Kanye,” he told the crowd. “That’s the homie. I don’t give a f**k. I’m f***ing with Ye.” Whether or not you agree with these sentiments, they also shouldn’t fall into black-and-white interpretations of condoning certain narratives. After all, the Chicago rapper’s sadly gotten away with a lot; why are we disappointed that little has changed?

Nevertheless, Vultures is now scheduled for a 2024 release, and the 46-year-old might be on the ‘Gram a whole lot more now. We still think it’s unlikely, but if it’s to shout out his new design partner and feed into the backlash, then we think he won’t pass up on that chance. Only time will tell how this manifests into public perception. For more news and the latest updates on Kanye West, stay logged into HNHH.

Kanye West & Tory Lanez Prayed Together Over The Phone, Ye Claims In Rant

December 16, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Before Tory Lanez was convicted of shooting Megan Thee Stallion in December of last year, his case was already one of the biggest of the decade so far. Whether it was for the high-profile nature of both sides or the back-and-forth accusations over tampered evidence, bias, and more, it was a firestorm to witness. It also prompted many folks in similarly “canceled” situations to side with the Canadian artist, and there is no one more firmly in that category than Kanye West. During a recent and wild rant at the listening event for his Ty Dolla $ign collab album Vultures in Las Vegas, he mentioned Tory at one point and how they linked.

“A lot of people have s**t to say about my Jewish comments,” Kanye West exclaimed. “But ain’t nobody in this motherf***ing room, and none of y’all entertainer n***as, ever said nothing when I was praying to see my kids. One of the last things, uh… What’s my n***a that got locked up for the Megan Thee Stallion s**t? Okay, look, so Tory Lanez, we used to have prayers on the phone together. And I prayed that day– and y’all saw that s**t. When I couldn’t see Chicago, too.

“All y’all n***as on Instagram got some s**t to say,” Kanye West continued. “Y’all n***as saw that s**t. Don’t tell me about my f***ing political opinion. I made more money to show you that money ain’t nothing. It’s our money, n***a! It’s our country, n***a, it’s how they stole it from us!” Of course, it’s unclear from this rant when Ye and Tory actually linked up to pray over the phone. Since it was over the phone, though, we’d safely bet that this was once the latter was in prison.

Meanwhile, the Chicago rapper’s rant also targeted Nicki Minaj for not clearing the song “New Body” for this upcoming project. Considering his past antics, this seems like another “line in the sand” moment where he might not drop Vultures anymore. We still haven’t decided whether that’s a good or bad thing.

Kanye West On Nicki Minaj Refusing To Clear “New Body”: “I Supported Her Career”

December 15, 2023 by newhiphopnews

“New Body” is one of the most beloved Yandhi-era leaks from Kanye West, both for its hypnotic beat and its topical focus… for better or worse. In addition, it also features a great verse from Nicki Minaj, which only made it all the more disappointing when the track appeared to stay in limbo. However, hype emerged once again when Ye and Ty Dolla $ign announced that the track would be on their upcoming collab album Vultures. In fact, they even played it at their Miami “rave” listening event, with Queen Barb’s verse and all. As such, it seemed like we would finally get this song officially in our hands.

But alas, when Friday, December 15th rolled around with no Vultures in sight, and Kanye West posted a screenshot of him asking Nicki Minaj to clear “New Body,” we went back to a disappointed state. Later, she addressed his request during an Instagram Live sessions, saying that “that train has left the station.” In other words, the 41-year-old expressed qualms about releasing a song that’s over three years old at this point. While that’s certainly a valid argument from an artistic standpoint, a lot of fans still expressed sadness that the track is once again in jeopardy.

What’s more is that Kanye West responded to Nicki Minaj’s comments during his absurdly combative rant against Jay-Z, Drake, and so many more. This was at his Las Vegas listening party for Vultures. While addressing her refusal to clear the sample, the Chicago artist claimed that he made her rewrite her iconic verse on “Monster” three times. “I supported her career,” he said of the “Last Time I Saw You” hitmaker. Most importantly, the 46-year-old seemed to hammer on the point that they’re still going to fight to put “New Body” out one way or another.

Meanwhile, that listening event was somehow more chaotic than the first, and we’re sure the ride’s far from over. Maybe these exchanges will continue, too, and we’ll either get a compromise, an apology, a reconciliation, or an even stronger divide. When it comes to these two artists, has guessing ever been a consistent game to play? For more news and the latest updates on Kanye West and Nicki Minaj, stay logged into HNHH.
