Kanye West Battery Assault: Ye Allegedly Hit The Wrong Twin After Sexual Assault Accusation

New allegations and claims are emerging surrounding the reported investigation that the Los Angeles Police Department is conducting on Kanye West for his role in an alleged battery assault. For those unaware, he allegedly punched a man who he accused of sexually assaulting his wife Bianca Censori at the Chateau Marmont hotel in L.A earlier this week. However, TMZ recently reported that, according to supposed eyewitnesses that reportedly spoke to the publication, this situation was actually different to what initially emerged from coverage. Specifically, the man that the Chicago artist allegedly punched has a twin brother (they’re reportedly Mark and Jonnie Houston), with whom he runs a couple of restaurants and celebrity hotspots in the area, and he is accused of punching the wrong one.

Moreover, this is how this new TMZ report’s story goes. According to their supposed eyewitnesses, one of the twins bumped into Bianca Censori accidentally in the busy hotel lobby, but that they quickly moved apart and kept going about their business. The man allegedly went out to a table to sit with colleagues, and these reports accuse Kanye West of going to them to confront whoever supposedly assaulted his wife. This is when he allegedly punched the man in the face, but according to these unconfirmed reports, he apparently punched the wrong man, striking his twin brother who was also at the table instead.

Furthermore, these reports do not specify via proof or claims whether it was Mark or Jonnie Houston that stands accused of sexually assaulting Bianca Censori. It’s also unclear which one allegedly bumped into her according to this recent TMZ report, or who was the one that Kanye West supposedly punched. The brothers reportedly own Black Rabbit Rose, Break Room 86, No Vacancy, and other venues and restaurants in addition to being Chateau frequenters. According to these alleged sources and other reports, Ye left after this incident, and that’s when police reportedly arrived to try to talk to him about it.

Meanwhile, the couple’s team continues to allege that this was sexual assault against Bianca on behalf of one of these brothers. This case will reportedly be sent to the City Attorney for review according to TMZ, and there is allegedly no evidence to support either side of the narrative at press time. We’ll see if the two react or say anything about these allegations in the public eye, and where the reported investigation will go. For more news and the latest updates on Kanye West and Bianca Censori, stick around on HNHH.

Ryan Garcia Makes Bold Claim About Ye Attending Devin Haney Fight

Ryan Garcia is walking back on his distaste for Ye, and is now claiming that the rapper will walk him out for his upcoming boxing match with Devin Haney. “Kanye walking me out,” he tweeted on Sunday (April 14). “You heard it here first. Big money let’s go.” Of course, this is pretty ironic considering that Garcia ranted against the Chicago MC allegedly refusing to walk him out due to his “no Diddy” comment to 50 Cent just a few days ago. It was a pretty scathing attack, too, and considering their often chaotic presences on social media for very different reasons, we can only wonder what made them make up… if this isn’t the fattest load of cap from either celebrity.

Maybe Ryan Garcia is being played here, much like Playboi Carti played Adin Ross for their “stream” together, which lasted all of ten minutes. On the other hand, maybe he’s just trying to get more interest and hype building for this fight, and what better way to do that than by opening up the Ye beef again for a reconciliation? However, considering the “2024” producer’s relative silence right now as more alleged Vultures volumes are in limbo, this would be a bizarre way to re-enter the fold. Or maybe this is just all for the bag.

Ryan Garcia Claims Ye Is Walking Him Out For Devin Haney Fight

In other Ye-related news, he recently shaved off a big chunk of his asking price for his mansion, indicating that he’s looking to get rid of it ASAP. Other than that, things have been relatively calm: no new listening parties, no overtly abhorrent statements, just a lot of paparazzi footage of him with Bianca Censori for the most part. Hopefully it actually feels like a chill time for the Georgia native. After all, maybe this downtime will inspire him to clean up his act and strive for good-hearted greatness.

Meanwhile, the boxer’s other headlines as of late have little to do with boxing and more to do with his social media antics, such as questioning Abdul Wahid’s sexuality. Do you think that this latest tactic will actually work for ticket sales, regardless of whether it’s true or not? Drop your thoughts on all this down in the comments section below. Also, log back into HNHH for the latest news and more updates on Ryan Garcia and Ye.

Ryan Garcia Goes Nuclear On Kanye West For Allegedly Refusing To Walk Him Out Over “No Diddy” Tweet

Boxing star Ryan Garcia has just gone off the rails on X over some new beef with Kanye West. According to HipHopDX, it all began when the 25-year-old sent out a tweet to 50 Cent on April 3. He asked the New York rap icon to walk out with him for his upcoming fight on April 20 with Devin Haney. In that request he also said, “no Diddy,” as a reference to the running jokes surrounding the sexual assault allegations of the mogul. “@50cent would be awesome if you walked out with me 4-20 No diddy Let’s do this!!!!” Garcia presumably asked the same of Kanye, but he allegedly believes that the VULTURES MC “said no” because of the jab at Diddy.

This lit a raging fire inside the young boxer and it led him to send at least 16 vicious verbal attacks toward Kanye. It all began with this post, “Why Kanye mad at me for saying “no diddy” He lost it when he said he was the New Jesus.” From there the tweets began to snowball and increase in absurdity. For example, Garcia went as far as to claim that, “I heard Kim puts her finger in Kanye b** allegedly🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️

Some of the deleted tweets might be even more wild. “Let’s be real, right drake F***ED your girl “Kim” moved to the house next to you. Then she dates Pete Davidson. And then you get a look alike to Kim “Bianca”. And then you have the nerve to say you the new Jesus. LMFAO you are a bum facts.” Garcia also calls out Kanye’s die-hard supporters, saying, “bro supported a genocide for a whole group and y’all defend him” and that it “is actually sad.” In another gut punch, the lightweight boxer says the Georgia-born native is “defending diddy bc that’s his daddy.” Kanye has yet to respond to any of these tweets and confirm if Garcia’s claim is true.

What are your thoughts on Ryan Garcia exploding on Kanye West on Twitter (X)? Do you see Kanye responding to this in any capacity, why or why not? Why do you think the rapper allegedly changed his tune about Diddy? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section.

Ye & Ty Dolla $ign Postpone Step Pyramid Of Djoser Listening Experience, Fans’ Frustrations Continue

Ye and Ty Dolla $ign have just decided to postpone their show at the Step Pyramind of Djoser. What was going to be a thrilling moment for their die-hard fans, now has no definite future. According to HipHopDX, Venture Lifestyle, who was helping put this show together, informed the public of this news. They announced this on their Instagram page in a lengthy update. “Ye’s concert at Saqqara Pyramids is postponed,” they wrote.

“The anticipated hi-fidelty audio experience taking place in the Step Pyramid of Djoser, Saqqara, has been postponed, along with other Ye tour dates in April, upon Ye’s team’s request. This listening experience remains scheduled to take place in Saqqara during 2024. The new date will be announced soon.” Additionally, Venture Lifestyle went onto clarify that you can ask for a refund or retain the ticket for when the show happens at its later date.

However, that explanation expectedly did not do much to quell the fans anger for this. One person clearly spent a lot of money on this trip and show. “Naah This is not acceptable like I already bought a flight ticket and I booked a hotel so it’s really not acceptable.” Additionally, others would rather know if it will eventually be shut down for good in the future. Just last month, Ye and Ty canceled six separate shows. So, you can see why people are growing tired of this.

What are your thoughts on Ye and Ty Dolla $ign having to postpone their show at the Step Pyramid of Djoser? Do you think they will actually head there still in 2024 or at all, why or why not? When do you see the duo dropping VULTURES 2? Are you losing interest in everything surrounding these albums?

Bianca Censori Supposedly Seeking Child With Ye: Report

Bianca Censori and Ye’s relationship never really became any more detailed or publicly available since they started to go out over a year ago. Still, a lot of people continue to speculate about them thanks to secondhand reports from allegedly close sources, and this has covered a variety of topics. Moreover, you may remember a report earlier this year about whether or not the couple wants children, and there’s new fuel on the gossip train to give credence to this idea. The U.S. Sun reportedly spoke to a source with supposedly significant proximity to the two who claimed that Bianca wants to start a family.

“[Bianca Censori] is in her element,” the assumed source allegedly revealed. “She loves the attention and being dressed by Ye, despite what everyone thinks of her outfits. She feels a lot of her looks are artistic, not just about the fashion. Bianca is fully dedicated and in it for the long haul; she doesn’t care what people think of her. I wouldn’t be surprised if she got pregnant soon, and she’ll still wear revealing outfits the same as Rihanna did.

“She feels like royalty with [Ye],” the alleged source reportedly went on. “[Bianca Censori] is happy to support everything he does and be there at all times, even if he’s intense.” “She needs a break and needs to step back,” a previous reported insider had supposedly relayed to the Daily Mail. “She loved the attention but it is getting overwhelming… [Ye] keeps pushing and pushing for more, more, more leading up to the release of VULTURES 2… She feels like he is using her as a free marketing tool, as does everyone else. These past couple of months have been an experience, but she really wants to focus on having children after the album drops. She knows she is overexposed.

Meanwhile, other assumed insights into their bond refute claims that Bianca’s family is upset at the Yeezy mogul for their loved one’s outfits, lifestyle, and associations as of late. While the rumor mill won’t stop, it doesn’t seem like things will get any more confirmed. But that’s all subject to change. On that note, check back in with HNHH for the latest news and more updates on Bianca Censori and Ye.

Ye & Ty Dolla $ign Cancel All Six Recent “VULTURES 1 & 2 Listening Experiences” Hours Later

Fans have been impatiently waiting for Ye and Ty Dolla $ign to drop the second installment in the VULTURES trilogy. We got the first entry back on February 10 with tracks like “CARNIVAL,” as well as “BURN” being standout moments. After the duo did a pretty good job at following their release schedule, most were not all that surprised when VULTURES 2 was nowhere to be seen on March 8. With that in mind, most will be not shocked to know that Ye and Ty have just canceled the VULTURES 1 & 2 listening experiences.

Earlier today, the recording duo announced six new venues for VULTURES listening experiences. The cities that were going to play host were Washington DC, Nashville, Fort Lauderdale and Tampa, Pittsburgh, and Charlotte. Unfortunately, that excitement has been short lived. According to HipHopDX, all of the shows for the aforementioned locations have been taken off Ye’s Ticketmaster webpage.

Additionally, they also reported that the Florida sites posted on their Instagram accounts, revealing the cancelations. The Amalie Arena and Amerant Bank Arena accounts said, “We regret to report that due to the time constraints for Ye and Ty Dolla $ign to curate production and meet logistic requirements, the upcoming dates for the VULTURES 1&2 listening experience will need to be revisited at a later date.” Ye nor Ty have spoken out about this as of yet.

What are your thoughts on Ye and Ty Dolla $ign canceling all of the recent VULTURES 1 & 2 listening experiences? Does this surprise you at all, why or why not? When do you think VULTURES 2 will drop?

Bianca Censori Goes Furry For Dinner With Ye & North West

Bianca Censori surprised folks with a particular expectation of her fashion style for a Saturday night (March 23) dinner with her husband Ye and his daughter North West. Moreover, she hit up Nobu with them in Los Angeles with a huge fur coat, black leggings, and small black heels. Of course, a lot of folks are commenting on how the Yeezy architect usually wears much more revealing clothing, but thought that maybe North’s presence prompted a more conservative look. But this is all very speculative at the end of the day, and we doubt that anyone is able to make a conversation around a fit quite like her these days.

Furthermore, Bianca Censori also forms part of Ye’s current rollouts and career moves, as well as surprising reflections on previous moments of his path. For example, he recently posted her spread across his massive bed, which fans theorized is probably the same bed that he used for the “Famous” music video. In it, the Chicago artist featured wax figures of various celebrities, insinuating that he slept with all of them. It was a bizarrely reflective moment that kind of welcomed Bianca into that echelon, in a way.

However, this probably doesn’t help the narrative that Bianca Censori’s family is not happy at all with how Ye has allegedly changed her. Not only does this relate to her fashion choices, which he reportedly is heavily involved in styling, but also the fact that she doesn’t really speak out that much in the public. A lot of ink’s been spilled about this dynamic in particular and the Censori family’s aversion to the VULTURES 1 creative. The last report we got on that end is that Bianca is “hesitant” for her husband to meet with her father about her public image.

Meanwhile, with a brand-new Porsche from the 46-year-old in her garage, it seems like the couple is in a pretty good mood these days. They still have to handle a lot of fallout from his public controversies, but they seem more comfortable in this space than ever. We just hope that their relationship leans more wholesome than wild in the near future. On that note, check out the pics from this dinner date night with the “Via” link below. Also, stick around on HNHH for more news and the latest updates on Ye and Bianca Censori.

Bianca Censori Turns Heads With See-Through Outfit On Cheesecake Factory Lunch Date With Kanye West

Ye and Bianca Censori were walking around L.A. and got hungry, and what better place to fix the munchies than a Cheesecake Factory? Moreover, it’s always funny to see celebrities hit the popular spot up, and it wouldn’t be the first time that the couple was spotted there. On Wednesday (March 20) in The Grove, they strolled through streets on their way to the locale and got the attention of plenty of passerby and paparazzi. The Chicago rapper donned a characteristic all-black fit with sunglasses, although he didn’t cover up his face as he often likes to do for the cameras. On the other hand, the architect wore a nude-colored bodysuit with pulled-up grey shorts and small heels.

While they tried to get into Cheesecake Factory before their 11:30 AM opening time, Ye made some calls to get inside and security ushered paparazzi and onlookers away. Of course, pop culture’s interest in the couple’s every move (and fashion choice) has been pretty cemented for over a year now. While it hasn’t been without its fair share of new controversies on top of dealing with old ones, they seem in a much more measured and tranquil place now. After all, novelty wears off with time, something that they might be appreciative of to a certain extent.

Meanwhile, this follows Ye’s recent relationship comments which had fans wondering who he referred to. “If you have to ask someone for something more than three times, then you’re asking the wrong person,” he posted on his Instagram Story. Sure, this has nothing to do directly with a romantic bond, and many interpreted this message as relating to his business moves and his wider career. But it’s curious to think about whether this says something about a deeper relationship dynamic, as far-fetched as it likely is.

Also, with another Vultures listening party at the Pyramid of Djoser, it seems like this album series rollout is still in the cards. The second installment hasn’t come out yet, but it’s a Yeezy affair: things were obviously never going to be simple. We’ll see where this takes the couple in the near future. Still, check out the video of them hitting up a Cheesecake Factory with the “Via” link below. Stay logged into HNHH for the latest news and updates on Ye and Bianca Censori.

Ye and Ty Dolla $ign Eye Pyramid in Egypt for Next ‘Vultures’ Experience

Ye and Ty Dolla $ign Release Trailer for "Vultures" Video and Announces Three Release Dates

Ye and Ty Dolla $ign have eyed Egypt for their next Vultures experience. The two have announced an event for April 20 at the Step Pyramid of Djoser in the desert of Saqqara, Egypt. Tickets are currently on sale.

Ye’s friend and frequent collaborator Travis Scott attempted to perform a show in Egypt ahead of the release of UTOPIA. That didn’t go as planned. You can read more about it here.

We can get a glimpse of Ye’s recording process for Vultures. The closing verse on “CARNIVAL” was recorded while at least 25 people surrounded him.

Earlier this month, Ye and Ty Dolla $ign reached the top of the Billboard Hot 100. Their collaborative, stadium-sounding anthem, “Carnival,” featuring Rich the Kid and Playboi Carti, hit No. 1.

“Carnival” now makes Ye the first rap artist to have a No. 1 in three decades (the 2000s, ‘10s and ‘20s).

According to Luminate, “Carnival” secured the 1,165th No. 1 spot in the 65-year history of the Hot 100. It amassed 33.7 million streams (up 4%), garnered 3.9 million radio airplay audience impressions (up 85%), and sold 3,000 downloads (up 15%) during the tracking week of March 1-7.

With “Carnival,” Ye claims his fifth Hot 100 chart-topper, following hits like Katy Perry’s “E.T.” (featuring Ye), which spent five weeks at No. 1 starting in April 2011, among others. Ty Dolla $ign previously led the Hot 100 for a week in June 2018 as featured on Post Malone’s “Psycho.”

It is the first No. 1 record for Rich the Kid and Playboi Carti.

Additionally, “Carnival” maintains its reign for a second week atop both the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot Rap Songs charts, utilizing a similar multimetric methodology as the Hot 100.
