Bianca Censori & Kanye West Cloak Up For Florence Airport With Bizarre Outfits

June 8, 2024 by newhiphopnews

As opposed to her recent scantily-clad fit for an Italy meeting, Bianca Censori chose to cover up her figure with a strange, bone-white coat that looks more like a bag than a cloak. Kanye West accompanied her to the Florence airport on Saturday morning (June 8), and he wore an all-white fit with a long-sleeve shirt and baggy pants. Security guards and airport staff kept an eye out for intruders or hecklers, making sure that no one would be able to bother them. It’s unclear where they’re going or where they’ve been, but the couple is keeping things pretty low-key these days compared to their other 2024 exploits.

Furthermore, Kanye West still hasn’t released his VULTURES sequels, and new recent studio footage with Young Moose might indicate that this could change soon. But it’s a Ye rollout, so we’d honestly not be surprised if the second and third installments of the Ty Dolla $ign collaborative series end up being like So Help Me God, Good A** Job, and other mythical releases. Maybe the couple will just chill out for the rest of the year and enjoy themselves. After all, VULTURES 1 already got a lot of revenue, hype, streams, and acclaim, one that could definitely carry itself all the way through 2024.

Bianca Censori & Kanye West Spotted In Los Angeles

However, we also know that the two are also pretty likely to go their separate ways and stay in tune with their own personal paths. For example, Bianca Censori recently went on a solo Australian trip to meet with her family, and it seems like they just hung out casually without much spectacle. It must feel quite different to the onslaught of paparazzi, fans, and the like that badger Kanye West and Bianca all over the world, but particularly in the United States. As such, a break every once in a while must be pretty satisfying.

Elsewhere, it seems like the case of alleged sexual assault concerning Bianca Censori and Kanye West attacking her alleged assaulter is still in limbo. Of course, Ye has much bigger fish to fry in this regard now. We’ll see whether accusations against him end up manifesting in a big court case or if they resolve that matter of accountability privately. Hopefully the outcome is one of justice. You can find pictures of Bianca Censori and Ye’s airport fits with the “Via” link below, as we can’t share the images directly on HNHH.

J Dilla’s Brother Illa J Has A Dismissive Hot Take About Kanye West

June 3, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Everyone seems to have a hot take about Kanye West these days, and they became so common for so many different reasons that the more mild and non-bigotry-centric ones are now the most notable. Moreover, the late and legendary J Dilla’s younger brother Illa J recently spoke about the Chicago artist during an interview with AnecDope (which you can find by clicking here). Specifically, he remarked on what the Detroit beatmaker would be cooking up now, which Illa thinks would be “some crazy trap beats” given his desire to listen to all kinds of rap music despite his specialties. “Even when I was younger, he would ask me what I was listening to,” he said of his brother.

Then, Illa J made a bold claim that Kanye West would not be as big as he is today if J Dilla were still alive. “That’s my opinion,” he prefaced the reasoning behind this conclusion. “I don’t think Kanye is as big as he is if my brother stayed alive. I’m sorry, Kanye needs seven producers. If you look at the credits, there’s, like, 20 producers on one track. Because it’s a thing to make beats, and then it’s a thing to produce, you know what I mean? Like, yeah, you’re making some crazy stuff. But, like, I mean, [if] we’re talking producers, man, like, Quincy Jones is still the GOAT. That’s a real music producer, you know what I mean? Most people are beatmakers, if we’re being real.”

Of course, Kanye West himself will be one of the first to tell you that J Dilla is one of the all-time greats, if not the greatest producer of all time. During a 2013 appearance on the Stones Throw Records documentary, Our Vinyl Weighs A Ton, Ye spoke on the need to honor Dilla as artists. “We gotta think, ‘If Dilla was alive, would he like this?’” he remarked. “I have to work on behalf of Dilla. The best respect that we can pay to great artists that have inspired us is to never sell out.”

Meanwhile, Illa J was previously very outspoken about how he feels that some folks are trying to take advantage of J Dilla’s legacy for their own gain. Last year, he framed this as more of a conversation around how people use Dilla’s impact to further their own goals or the relationship that they seek with Illa. It doesn’t seem like this applies to Kanye West, but it’s also easy to believe that both artists would’ve still made amazing art if they were both still around. Sadly, we’ll never know for sure, but we do know that their catalogs and artistry are worth much more than their individual careers.

Bianca Censori Goes Nearly Nude Again With Kanye West Out In Italy

June 2, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Bianca Censori is pushing the lewd limits yet again, as she was recently photographed wearing a small and very revealing swimsuit on Saturday (June 1). You can check the pictures out by clicking the “Via” links down below, as we can’t share them directly on HNHH. Moreover, this was in Prato, Italy, and she followed her husband Kanye West into a building with a sketch notebook in her hands. Reportedly, this could be for a clothing production meeting or some other fashion-related matter, as Ye has ran his Yeezy operation from Prato in the past. Either way, it was quite the style statement to wear something like that.

But this is exactly what folks expect from Bianca Censori nowadays, and fortunately, the conversation around this is much less toxic than it was when she started to turn heads with her NSFW fashion choices. Of course, this led to a lot of spilled ink on whether or not Kanye West controls this or whether it’s something the other way around. The more likely scenario is that the Yeezy architect is just wearing what she sees fit, and that it’s really not that deep of an indicator of their relationship dynamic. Still, concern is always valid, and there’s still a lot of controversy around them.

Bianca Censori & Kanye West At Milan Fashion Week

Furthermore, at least Bianca Censori went out without Ye for some recent occasions, which some think is key to the relationship’s health. She was recently out in Australia with her parents, who reportedly have a lot of issues with how she carries herself. Since these are just gossipy reports and alleged “close source” conversations, it’s unclear whether their alleged frustration is with Censori or with Kanye West. Regardless, it’s definitely a big conversation to have.

Meanwhile, the details around her alleged sexual assault are unclear, as it looks like the investigation reached a limbo point. Kanye West and the twin brothers involved have both reportedly refused to cooperate with authorities in their case around Bianca Censori. Maybe this will just sweep under the rug in court, although folks already read about it for the headlines. We’ll see if business will continue as usual or if this is a legitimate obstacle.

Kanye West Battery Investigation Over Alleged Assault Reportedly In Limbo

May 25, 2024 by newhiphopnews

While authorities were investigating Kanye West for alleged battery, it seems like now things are going to be more complicated for them to get to the bottom of. Moreover, TMZ reportedly spoke to law enforcement sources about the case, who revealed that everyone involved in the debacle went missing in action. Specifically, neither twin brothers Mark and Jonnie Houston nor Ye himself have reportedly ignored authorities’ request that they cooperate with the case in order for it to move forward. For those unaware, the Chicago artist stands accused of assaulting one of the two after they allegedly sexually assaulted his wife, Bianca Censori.

Furthermore, this all went down at Los Angeles’ Chateau Marmont back in April, and came under a fair bit of scrutiny from law enforcement. Despite Kanye West’s camp’s claims, authorities found no evidence of either Houston twin assaulting Bianca Censori when they checked security camera footage. For what it’s worth, law enforcement reportedly hopes that this all means that the two parties were able to work the issue out privately. Apparently, there just isn’t enough in the case as it stands to take it to Los Angeles’ City Attorney’s office.

Even though this is still technically an open case, the current status of things indicates that it probably won’t see full legal resolution any time soon. Elsewhere, Kanye West is busy making his moves behind the scenes to set up his next project, presumably the sequel to his Ty Dolla $ign collab album VULTURES 1. In fact, he allegedly gave Adin Ross an unreleased track of his, which he was very happy to play during his stream. We don’t know exactly what’s happening with that album series, but it’s Yeezy: of course things didn’t go exactly as planned.

Meanwhile, speaking of legal trouble over alleged assault, Kanye West’s dismissive comments about Diddy recently resurfaced due to new footage of him abusing Cassie releasing online. Sure, he is no stranger to controversy and alleged atrocities himself, but seeing this rift in a different context has captivated some fans. We’ll see whether either case gets a significant update soon. But don’t bet on it, as it looks like this battery investigation will stay unresolved.

Kanye West & Donna Summer Estate Finalizing Settlement Over Unauthorized Sample

May 16, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kanye West’s VULTURES 1 caused controversy for a myriad of reasons, not least of which was a conflict with a music legend over allegedly unauthorized work. However, it seems like there’s a way out, although we still have to see whether this gets solid confirmation in the near future. Moreover, he and Donna Summer’s estate are reportedly finalizing a settlement over a copyright infringement lawsuit against Ye. The estate claims that he sampled the classic “I Feel Love” without their permission on the track “GOOD (DON’T DIE)” on his Ty Dolla $ign collab album. They filed the legal action on February 27, a little over two weeks after the LP dropped, and it alleged that Ye either re-recorded the song, used A.I. vocals, or isolated the original vocals. Either way, it would constitute copyright violation according to the suit.

“Kanye West asked permission to use Donna Summer’s song ‘I Feel Love,’ he was denied,” a representative for Summer’s estate stated. “He changed the words, had someone re-sing it or used A.I., but it’s ‘I Feel Love’… copyright infringement.” Both parties agreed to pursue an amicable resolution together, and according to alleged sources who reportedly spoke to AllHipHop, they had a global settlement by Monday (May 13). This followed negotiations in April and this month. However, one particular challenge was apparently finding Ty Dolla $ign in order to serve him with legal documents.

Regardless, all parties have reportedly agreed in principle, and expect to execute a final written settlement in the very near future. Still, there are no public details about Kanye West and Donna Summer’s estate’s agreement at press time, whether monetary reimbursement or other considerations. Apparently, the plan is for the estate to file a stipulation to dismiss the lawsuit once everyone’s signed onto the settlement. As such, this whole debacle, which was among the most contentious parts of the VULTURES series’ rollout -– and that’s saying something -– seems like it’ll wrap up soon.

Meanwhile, representatives for both Kanye West and the Donna Summer estate reportedly declined further comments on the matter. With more albums supposedly on the way from Ye and Ty, who knows what sample-based case could prop up next? They are notorious for taking big risks these days, which can sometimes result in some amazing moments. We’ll see if we actually get that sequel or if this lawsuit settlement is one of the final remnants of the VULTURES era.

Julia Fox Reveals Surprising Detail About Past Sex Life With Kanye West, Celebrates Over 2 Years Of Celibacy

May 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It’s not often that TikTok comments can break news items, but Julia Fox’s candid words under a post about a Bumble ad against celibacy seem to have revealed some curious info. Moreover, she celebrated being celibate for the past two and a half years, which many people congratulated or even expressed shock at considering her previous career as a dominatrix. As such, the model never slept with her former partner Kanye West, which was another salacious detail that a lot of folks were talking about online. Despite the more gossipy elements surrounding this decision, it’s still a commendable one to make and a lifestyle choice that shouldn’t really be subject to scrutiny or criticism as some have done on the Internet.

Furthermore, there is still a lot of interest in Julia Fox and Kanye West’s relationship, one that she recently spoke about leaving a “sour taste in her mouth”. “I mean, I think we all know what it is,” she answered a question about which public opinion dogs her the most during an interview with InStyle. “Dating that man for a month -– one month. And that’s why I have such a sour taste in my mouth about dating anyone in this sphere. Because I don’t ever want to just be known as someone’s girlfriend. I know I’m so much more than that.

(Photo by Stephane Cardinale – Corbis/Corbis via Getty Images)

“And I feel like that happens so much to women in this industry,” Julia Fox went on concerning Kanye West. “They’re only as good as their partner or they can make a whole career off being some guy’s partner. But regardless, either way, it becomes their identity. And I feel like I have to transcend that, and I want to break that mold, and I want to just stand on my own two feet and not need a man to back me. I did that for years. I’m good. I have established myself, and I want to keep establishing myself. And maybe one day I’ll even be taken seriously.”

Meanwhile, Julia Fox continues to stun at modeling gigs and build a lot of involvement in her realms of business and entertainment. It’s clear she overcame her Kanye West fling and struck gold in other endeavors. But the mystique and shock value behind their short-lived relationship still draws a crowd. We’ll see whether there are any more spicy details surrounding that in the near future.

Chris Brown Tells Funny Story That Some Fans Think Is About Kanye West

April 30, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Chris Brown is quite the hilarious and engaging storyteller, as he recently proved on his R&B Money podcast appearance. For a segment about offering a funny anecdote without naming any names, he spoke on an artist who went clubbing with him one night with a lot of women to see another artist perform. Eventually, the former unnamed celebrity took the stage and went on a 45-minute rant, which Breezy says completely killed his vibe and turned the venue into “the waiting room in hell.” There was even an clap-back from the artist about Amber Rose and fingers in their… you know. As such, a lot of people think that the R&B star was talking about his “BEG FORGIVENESS” collaborator, Kanye West.

Furthermore, the clip below shows some footage of the club night that Chris Brown is allegedly referring to, specifically the Amber Rose part of the rant. However, perhaps we’ll never really know for sure whether Kanye West was really the subject of his story, although it seems way too coincidental to interpret it any other way. Regardless, either the Virginia native just has really bad luck with going to the club with Rose’s exes or he forgot that there was readily available footage of this online. It’s also ironic because Ye praised Chris during his latest interview on Justin LaBoy’s The Download podcast.

Chris Brown Allegedly Tells Funny Kanye West Story, Fans Theorize

A post shared by The Neighborhood Talk (@theneighborhoodtalk)

“Chris is a god,” Kanye West said of Chris Brown, arguing that great artists like him are marred by “middle men” and find it harder to find massive success. Still, this is all a bit bizarre considering that the two artists have been at odds with each other in the past, such as the debacle about removing Brown from Donda post-release. It seems like right now, it’s all water under the bridge, considering their VULTURES 1 collaboration. But who knows if Ye catches wind of this interview clip and feels some type of way about it?

Meanwhile, the “Run It” multi-hyphenate is supposedly still involved in his Quavo beef, as fans accused him of buying a huge chunk of his latest show’s tickets so that very few people would show up. He hasn’t spoken on it at press time, though, so it’s just a fan theory. But if Chris Brown ever does, we’re sure that it would be quite the amusing story from his perspective. Maybe he’ll have to do so without mentioning the former Migo’s name, just like this alleged Kanye West tale.

Adult Actress Sky Bri Claims Kanye West Called Her

April 25, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The world of Kanye West just got a whole lot more lewd this week with his announcement of “Yeezy p*rn,” which folks reacted to about as disgustedly as you would expect. Moreover, it’s unclear what this even is and what he means to do with it, but according to one adult film star, he’s allegedly asking around for advice… or at least, we hope it’s advice. Furthermore, adult actress Sky Bri recently claimed during what seems to be a livestream that Ye actually called her, and that she doesn’t know how he got her number. In the clip below, she doesn’t clarify whether this accusation has anything to do with his supposed adult entertainment venture or if it was just a casual call for whatever reason.

Regardless, it seems like Kanye West knows that he did a little too much to ruffle folks’ feathers this time around, as if blatant antisemitism and right-wing ties weren’t enough for blind die-hards. He deactivated his social media accounts after this announcement, and its unserious nature puts into question whether this is a legit announcement or not. Whether Ye just removed his accounts to not be bothered by the backlash, to drum up more conversation, or to just troll folks with this being his last “move” before closing up shop is a mystery. One thing’s for sure, though: if VULTURES 2 or 3 ever come out, then he will definitely return, and whether this announcement was legit or not, it probably will never happen.

Sky Bri Claims Kanye West Called Her

A post shared by Akademiks TV (@djakademikstv)

Another reason as to why Kanye West is getting such flack for his lewd leanings involves his recent interview on Justin LaBoy’s The Download podcast. When LaBoy asked (for some reason) who else he would consider for a threesome with his wife Bianca Censori, he gave a pretty wild answer: Michelle Obama. “Got to f**k the President’s wife,” he remarked amid bouts of laughter. Maybe we all should’ve seen this announcement coming…

Meanwhile, Ye stands accused of assaulting a man for allegedly sexually assaulting Censori, so there’s actually a lot to talk about these days when it comes to his perspective on intimacy. Perhaps these connections are just reaching, but they are curious nonetheless. Either way, let us know what you think about all this down in the comments section down below.

Kanye West Divulges On Falling Out With Pusha T

April 25, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kanye West’s recent interview with Justin LaBoy on his The Download podcast did a whole lot more than add another solider to the Drake coup d’état taking over hip-hop right now. Moreover, it also saw him open up about a lot of industry relationships, past claims and beefs, and what the future might hold. One particularly interesting part was when Ye reflected on his relationship with Pusha T, former G.O.O.D. Music president and frequent collaborator. The two seemed to fall out following Push’s comments on his former partner’s antisemitic and right-wing ties and behavior, but the Yeezy mogul also suggested that they aren’t completely disconnected right now.

“I just spoke with Pusha the other day,” Kanye West remarked. “It was good to talk to him. It was the first time talking to him in a couple months. We made good music together. I thought that somehow because I made beats and made music for somebody that when I couldn’t see my children, these people would use their platform. ‘Cause I used my platform on their behalf. Now I realize no one owes me anything… If you depend on somebody who is not giving you what you need, you’re the one that’s in the wrong.”

Meanwhile, this is what Pusha T had to say to XXL about Kanye West’s worrisome behavior and affiliations in late 2022, which he expressed in tandem with his departure from G.O.O.D. Music. “It’s beyond that and it’s nothing to tap dance around,” he posited. “It’s wrong. Period. But to me, it’s just me and him having a difference of opinion yet again. ’Cause we done had this for years. He’s not speaking to me now. If you ain’t with it, you ain’t down. And I ain’t with it. I’m not budging on that. I’m not with it.

“I heard about this new stuff,” the Clipse MC shared, possibly alluding to Ye’s appearances on right-wing-adjacent media like InfoWars or Fox News. “I don’t know. It’s something that just sort of tells me he’s not well, at the same time. I will say that. It’s going to places where it’s no way to move around it. Remember, I’m the one that said the MAGA hat is the new Klu Klux Klan hood while he’s making my album. He beefing with Obama. I met Obama. But it’s the same thing with him and the Drake thing. I’m going through this and that, he’s doing shows [with him].” This also follows news of allegedly leaked text messages between them that surfaced online earlier this year, although those are unconfirmed. Regardless, check back in with HNHH for the latest news and more updates on Kanye West and Pusha T.

Kanye West Explains Why Lil Durk “Broke His Heart” & Fell Out With Him

April 23, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kanye West’s new interview on Justin LaBoy’s The Download podcast contained a whole lot of scandalous, bizarre, or interesting revelations. We could talk about the “Like That” remix he premiered, his lewd obsession with Michelle Obama, the alleged assault investigation against him after Bianca Censori was allegedly sexually assaulted… it’s a doozy. However, something that folks probably didn’t expect to hear about was that Ye and Lil Durk fell out of favor with each other, or at least, that’s how the Yeezy mogul sees things. They previously collaborated on various cuts, and as two Chicago rappers, some hometown fans likely feel very disappointed by this rift.

“Durk sent in a verse and he said, ‘Take my Yeezy shirt off and make it a doormat,’” Kanye West claimed of Lil Durk. “He said it four times. I hit him up and said, ‘You’re breaking my heart. Who told you to do this?’ I’m like, ‘Man, this is bad for the city. Who told you to do this?’ It’s like when J. Cole did the diss track or whatever. You got Drake, he’s really paid to come at my neck. But it’s another thing for somebody like that to come around you. It’s the whole friends [and] enemies talk.

Kanye West Speaks On Lil Durk: Watch

— Episodes (@episodesent) April 23, 2024

“He must have never really liked me,” Kanye West went on concerning Lil Durk. I don’t know exactly what it is. I spoke to this man a few times about the line and then he changed the line to: ‘I take my Yeezy hat off and give my lil’ h*e that.’ And I’m just like, ‘Why y’all think y’all can play with me?’” It seems like he might be referring to a leaked track off an upcoming VULTURES volume, “Field Trip,” which also reportedly features Playboi Carti and Kodak Black.

Meanwhile, the “PROBLEMATIC” creative also expressed that these lyrics hurt him more than Drake taking Smurk on tour during the VULTURES 1 rollout. “And it’s f**k Drake for taking Durk right at the beginning of the Vultures role [sic] out I’ll come back to yall if I think of more f**k you’s,” he had ranted on Instagram. These issues between these former partners could extend to them removing each other’s contributions off of their respective most recent albums, or perhaps some disagreements over label contracts. All of that, though, is purely speculative. Nevertheless, for more news and the latest updates on Kanye West and Lil Durk, keep checking in with HNHH.
