Kim Kardashian Looks Back At It In New Thirst Traps As Pete Davidson Spends Time With Female Friend

by

It’s been a year full of breakups and, subsequently, makeups, for several of our favourite celebrities. From Chrisean Rock and Blueface’s neverending turbulent chaos earning them a reality show to the marriage of Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez decades after their original engagement, there’s been no shortage of news to take in. Arguably one of the strangest unions we saw in 2022, though, was Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson.

The two have since gone their separate ways, but during the months that they were together, they constantly made headlines. Whether the Saturday Night Live alum was getting tattoos dedicated to his girlfriend (not an uncommon move for him), or being berated by her ex-husband, Kanye West, they knew how to keep all eyes on them.

Their breakup came suddenly in August. Prior to that, they attended the Met Gala together, with Kardashian controversially donning Marilyn Monroe’s iconic gown. Additionally, they made their union social media official with several PDA-filled snapshots on date nights and baecations.

For her part, the mother of four seems to be enjoying her life as a single woman. She hasn’t been seen with a man in recent months. Rather, she’s been solely focused on her various brands, children, and other personal endeavours. That doesn’t mean she doesn’t still have time to share the occasional thirst trap, though.

On Monday (December 19), Kardashian started the week off right with a salacious selfie showing off her behind in a window. “Looking back at ’22 [wink emoji]” she captioned the shot.

In the centre of her behind, the California native tagged her SKIMS shapewear line, shamelessly promoting herself. In the comments, friends like La La Anthony, Lauren Sanchez, and Food God showed their support for the blonde beauty.

The upload has interesting timing, seeing as her ex is dating scores of beautiful women recently.

Firstly Davidson and model Emily Ratajkowski made headlines with several New York City outings. The last time they were together in public was courtside at a basketball game. Since then, the 29-year-old was out with another woman, causing some to speculate that he’s moving on.

A report from TMZ reveals that the mystery lady is Chase Sui Wonders, his Bodies, Bodies, Bodies co-star. They’re “great friends” who “hang out all the time,” but are “most definitely not an item.”

Kanye & Kim’s Ex-Bodyguard Says He “Never Saw Any Affection”

by

Kanye West & Kim Kardashian’s former bodyguard, Steve Stanulis, says that he “never saw any affection” between the two. He worked with the former couple for 15 days in 2016, a period which will be the focus of a new documentary, 15 Days With Kanye.

“It was like I discovered the Titanic,” he told The Sun in a recent interview. “I’ve never seen them snuggly or hold hands or anything romantic. You know, even like when they were together, they kissed each other goodbye, and I don’t mean like make out. I mean just like, ‘Hey, see you later, hun.’ I never saw any affection.”

Stanulis went on: “I just thought it was odd. I’d be with them sometimes 17, 18 hours a day, and she’d be doing her thing, and then he’d do his thing.”

The bodyguard added that he only saw Kim around on “maybe four or five of those [15] days.”

Ye and Kardashian married back in 2014 and remained together until last year. They share four children together.

Later in his discussion with The Sun, Stanulis remarked that West “absolutely needs rehab.” He added that he could tell West “had some issues.”

“I didn’t know how dire or to what extent again,” he further continued. “But I came out of that [gig] saying, ‘I couldn’t deal with that on an everyday basis.’”

15 Days With Kanye will premiere on January 19 at the New York City International Film Festival in 2023.

Stanulis’ comments come as West has been facing vast public scrutiny for his recent behavior. He’s made countless antisemitic comments while losing millions in endorsement deals.

Lola Brooke Wants To Make Jay-Z Proud: The “Don’t Play With It” Rapper On Brooklyn Drill, Kim Kardashian & Pusha T Co-Signs & More

by

It’s Christmas time, again. It feels like we were ringing in 2022 yesterday but it feels like time is moving at an unfathomably rapid pace these days.  As we’ve done in the past, HotNewHipHop returned with our annual 12 Days Of Christmas series where we chop it up with some of your favorite rappers, musicians, athletes, and entertainers about their annual highlights. 

Kicking off the series is one of the most exciting new voices out of New York City this year, Lola Brooke. Like many of her contemporaries, the Bed-Stuy native had her big break off of TikTok with the success of “Don’t Play With It.” The adrenaline-pumping production and her charismatic delivery became a hit after her “From The Block” performance began to garner attention. However, once TikTok got a hold of the record, it formed a life of its own. Cardi B, Kim Kardashian and North West are among Hollywood’s elite of the strength of “Don’t Play With It.” At the same time, she’s landed on the radars of formidable MCs like Pusha T and Meek Mill, who’ve shown her nothing but love in recent times. 

“I used to say, when I put the song out, I said to my team, ‘Don’t Play With It’ could really be a thing.’ I just thought it could be a thing on TikTok. Like, imagine kids playing with things they not supposed to be playing with. Things that are dangerous. Don’t Play With It, Don’t Play With It, Don’t Play With It,” she told HotNewHipHop.

What really sold people was the authenticity of Brooklyn that seeps through each bar. The night before our interview, Lola Brooke performed at the Barclay’s Center during the Wizards vs. Nets halftime show – the same night Ab-Soul linked up with Jay-Z. As a Bedford-Stuyvestant native, that performance stands as a highlight of her year. If not for performing in one of the biggest stages in her borough, then for being able to showcase her talent in front of the biggest export out of Bed-Stuy.

“When he sees you, remind him of where he came from. And he be proud that he came from where he grew up from,” she recalled telling herself during her performance. 

For the first installment of 2022’s 12 Days Of Christmas, we chopped it up with Lola Brooke to discuss co-signs from Pusha T & Kim Kardashian, embodying Brooklyn, and so much more.

This interview has been edited and condensed for length and clarity.

Kim Kardashian Reacts To Brittney Griner’s Release

by

Kim Kardashian shared her support for WNBA star Brittney Griner on her Instagram Story, Saturday. She shared a tweet that called for the release of Americans imprisoned for drug offenses.

“If we can get Brittney Griner out of a Russian prison for weed, surely we can free Americans who are sitting in American prisons for the same thing,” the tweet reads. A user named @TyHobsonPowell posted the tweet.

It isn’t the first time that Kardashian has lent her platform towards advocating for the WNBA star’s release. Back in July, she wrote on Instagram, “FreeBrittneyGriner.”

Russia released Griner in a prisoner swap that involved arms dealer Viktor Bout, last Thursday.

“She’s safe, she’s on a plane, she’s on her way home,” President Joe Biden said at the White House on Thursday morning. He later described her situation as “untolerable circumstances.”

“Brittney will soon be back in the arms of her loved ones, and she should have been there all along,” he added.

On the plane flying home, Griner remarked, “I have been in prison for 10 months now, listening to Russian. I want to talk.”

Special Presidential Envoy for Hostage Affairs Roger Carstens told CNN that Griner spoke with everyone she could on the flight.

“And she moved right past me and went to every member on that crew, looked them in the eyes, shook their hands and asked about them, got their names, making a personal connection with them,” Carstens said.

Russian customs officials detained Griner after finding cartridges containing hashish oil in her luggage.

Dr. Umar Johnson Claims Kim Kardashian “Used” Kanye West Following $200K Child Support Order

by

While sitting down with The Breakfast Club, Dr. Umar Johnson offered his take on Kim Kardashian and Kanye West after the rapper was recently ordered to pay $200K per month in child support. 

Saying that the Kardashian “used” West, Johnson also called the six-figure child support payments “ridiculous,” pointing out that both celebrities are rich.

In the interview, which was posted online early Friday, DJ Envy asked Johnson if things would be different for the Donda rapper if he was with a Black woman.

“Oh absolutely. I think Kim Kardashian used him,” he said straightaway. “And the fact that they’re making that man pay $200,000 a month in child support when both he and the wife are billionaires are absolutely ridiculous. I think that they wanna break him.”

Seemingly alluding to West’s recent controversial comments, Johnson added, “And although I don’t agree with the way in which Kanye articulated some of his thoughts, I appreciate the fact that he was the first Black man since Michael Jackson to speak truth to power.”

As HotNewHipHop previously reported, West and Kardashian finalized their divorce last month. The reality star filed back in February 2021.

The pair will now share custody of their kids, with the Chicago native ordered to dish out $200,000 per month in child support payments.

West will also be responsible for half of their four children’s security and education expenses.

Following reports of the child support order, many fans referenced lyrics from West’s hit song “Gold Digger” despite Kardashian having wealth long before dating her ex-husband.

Seth Rogen Trolls Kim Kardashian At “Women In Entertainment Breakfast”

by

Seth Rogen teased Kim Kardashian during The Hollywood Reporter’s “Women in Entertainment Breakfast” on Wednesday. Confused by Kardashian’s absence, Rogen joked about her having nothing better to do.

“Are we going to talk about how Kim Kardashian didn’t show up?” Rogen asked the crowd. “I have seen every episode of ‘Keeping Up With the Kardashians’ I know she doesn’t have anything more important to do than this.”

Rogen then back down remarking that she probably had good reason to miss out.

“She’s honestly… she’s probably dealing with a lot right now,” he added.

As for why Kardashian skipped out on the event, her team explained the decision in a statement provided to TMZ.

“The wrong event date was given to Kim’s team several weeks ago,” they said. “The error was realized only on Monday and unfortunately, her schedule could not be moved around at the last minute due to a prior work commitment. She was incredibly disappointed to not be able to attend since she never cancels.”

Season 2 of The Kardashians finished airing on Hulu, last month. Rogen, on the other hand, recently starred in Steven Spielberg’s The Fabelmans.

Rogen wasn’t the only one to make fun of Kim Kardashian at the event. Chelsea Handler also poked fun during her time on stage, joking about security at the event not being enough for Kim.

While she wasn’t in attendance at the breakfast event, Kardashian did post new pictures on Instagram.

Check out Seth Rogen’s comments at the Women in Entertainment Breakfast below. Hollywood Reporter held the event in honor of its 2022 Women in Entertainment Power 100 list.

Ye & Kim Kardashian: Kanye Encourages Ex-Wife To Marry Tom Brady

by

Ye and Kim Kardashian might’ve just finalized their divorce but the internationally renowned artist believes his ex-wife should use her platform to “keep families together.”

Kanye provided plenty of mind-boggling moments during his recent press. Ye’s made his presence felt across right-wing platforms alongside notable alt-right figure, Nick Fuentes.

Last week, he appeared on Alex Jones’ InfoWars where he addressed everything from his presidential run, his love for Hitler, and of course, his divorce from Kim Kardashian. At one point, Ye told Kim to “come home to Christ” after shading Hulu and Disney.

“Hulu does not love you, Kim. Disney does not love you, Kim. Come home, Kim. Come home to Christ,” he said. “Go to God. Go to Jesus,” he continued before slamming Kim stating that she might not get married once again.

“Or, marry somebody great. Go marry Tom Brady, whatever you want to do but get married and use your platform as an influence to keep families together. Don’t let the devil use you,” he said.

Interestingly enough, Ye and Tom Brady have formed somewhat of an acquaintanceship with one another. During his tirade against Pete Davidson, Brady co-signed Ye’s post about venture capitalist Andreeson Horowitz. Prior to that, Ye and his son, Saint, met with Tom Brady, who played catch with the 7-year-old.

Kanye’s comments came just after Ye and Kim Kardashian finalized their divorce. Kim and Ye called it quits following a string of online outbursts. However, the process took time since the initial filing.

Ye will have to cough up $200K monthly for child support for their four children. At the same time, the two will have “equal access” to their children. However, Kim Kardashian and Ye will need a mediator if there are any issues regarding the set-up.

Despite all of the controversy surrounding Kanye’s name, it seems like Kim Kardashian isn’t allowing that to interfere with the time he spends with their kids. Ye and North spent some quality time on a daddy-daughter shopping trip, hours after finalizing the divorce. Then, he picked up his son Saint from school shortly after. Clearly, his presidential campaign and other shenanigans aren’t getting in the way of his ability to parent his four kids.

Kim Kardashian Granted Restraining Order Against Stalker Who Claimed he “Telepathically” With Her

Kim Kardashian granted restraining order against stalker

Celebrities’ DMs are probably full of people trying to get in contact with them. However, one man went the extra step and claimed that Kim Kardashian communicated back with him….but telepathically. This week, Kardashian was granted a restraining order against the man, who had also attempted to break into her permanent and temporary residences.

Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Adrian Gidaya Roxas granted Kardashian a permanent five-year restraining order against the man, Andre Persaud. In addition to the bizarre claims that Kardashian “communicated with him telepathically,” Persaud had allegedly tried to access Kardashian’s residence on three separate occasions in August 2022 and also attempted to access her hotel during a recent trip to New York.

Per court documents filed by Kardashian’s legal team, in addition to believing that the reality TV mogul had been “communicating with him telepathically,” Kardashian’s team also alleged that Persaud had also expressed increasing frustration that Kardashian had not responded to him. Kardashian stated that she worried about her safety after Persaud also claimed to own a gun.

Per the restraining order, Persaud is required to stay at least 100 yards away from Kardashian and is prohibited from contacting her directly or indirectly.

This is not Kardashian’s first time in court in recent weeks. In late November, Kardashian and Kanye West formally settled their divorce in divorce court.

Ye & Kim Kardashian Celebrate Saint West’s Birthday Together

by

Even though Ye has continued to face public scrutiny for his hateful speech, it’s not stopping him from showing up for father duties.

It appears as though the 45-year-old and his ex-wife Kim Kardashian are staying true to their recent divorce settlement as they continue to put their differences aside while they co-parent.

Ye will pay $200,000 in child support each month and 50 percent of any educational costs moving forward. However, the former power couple will share custody of their four children with “equal access” to them. The children are still expected to primarily live with their mother.

Their eldest son, Saint, turned seven on Monday (December 5). The Chicago native reportedly spent several hours at Kardashian’s Hidden Hills home to celebrate alongside the family.

It seems as though the young boy got to ring in his birthday in an incredible way. The social media mogul took her son and some of his friends to the Rams game at SoFi Stadium on Sunday (December 4).

Saint got on-field access and the chance to meet Rams cornerback Jalen Ramsey. Additionally, he happily dove into a football-shaped birthday cake.

Interestingly, Kardashian and her little boy were recently booed while attending a game hosted by the Los Angeles team. Seeing as she’s no stranger to hate, she surprisingly took it all in good stride.

Ye, for his part, has continued to be in the news for all the wrong reasons lately. His streak of dangerous hate speech towards Jewish people is becoming more and more harmful.

In his most recent interview, this time with Proud Boys founder Gavin McInnes, Ye encouraged Jewish people to forgive Hitler. “Jewish people can’t tell me who I can love and who I can’t love,” he said.

Read more here about the damage that Ye’s antics are causing and be sure to stay tuned for the latest updates.

Kim Kardashian Advocates For Gunna’s Release

by

She has a proven track record of helping the incarcerated attain freedom, and Kim Kardashian looks to be advocating for Gunna’s release. The rapper has remained behind bars for months, following being named alongside Young Thug and several others in a massive RICO case in Georgia. The authorities claim that YSL is not a record label but a criminal street gang, however, both Thugger and Gunna’s teams have stated otherwise.

When it was first announced that the two rappers were taken into custody, people began sending Kardashian public pleas to help in their release.

It was recently shared that Gunna reportedly filed paperwork for a 3rd bond hearing. In the documents, his legal team argued that there wasn’t sufficient evidence to continue to hold him, and as that information circulated, Kardashian shared a message on her Instagram Story.

“Gunna has reportedly been dropped from any violence acts and hasn’t been named by any of the witnesses,” the post reads. “He’s spent 141 days in jail so far and will have a 3rd attempt at bond soon.”

The upload was accompanied by an Instagram post that reads, “FREE GUNNA.”

It has been expected that Gunna would find his way home soon, and possibly most charges dropped, but conversations regarding Young Thug’s case are more ominous. Investigators have named him as the head of YSL and alleged that the Rap icon has been personally responsible for calling shots on illegal activities. One issue that is continuously mentioned is Thugger’s animosity with YFN Lucci, as authorities claimed that Thugger was involved in an attack on Lucci behind bars.

Both Thugger and Gunna have denied the allegations against them. They are reportedly slated to go to trial early next year.
