October 25, 2023 by newhiphopnews

While Ye and Ty Dolla $ign plot on the release of their forthcoming joint project, the Graduation rapper faces a new lawsuit related to his trip to Skid Row in 2021. If you recall, Kanye West paid a visit to the L.A. Mission at a Thanksgiving event when he grabbed a microphone and launched into a wild rant in the midst of his divorce from Kim Kardashian. But, according to Rolling Stone, the individual to captured the video is taking Kanye West to court for posting the video on Instagram without his permission.

Elijah Graham, a then-volunteer event planner for the L.A. Mission, filed a lawsuit claiming that filmed Ye on Nov. 24, 2021, hoping to monetize off of the clip. However, he claims that the Chicago artist illegally took his profits when he shared the video on his official Instagram page, claiming that Ye generated plenty of revenue off of the platform. He accuses Kanye West of using the clip without his permission. Now, Graham wants Ye to fork over “actual damages and disgorgement of all of defendant’s profits attributable to the infringement,” along with an injunction.

The Infamous KimYe Rant

The video, which you can view on People, finds Ye going on an extensive rant where he admitted to wrongdoing as a husband. “We’ve made mistakes. I’ve made mistakes. I’ve publically done things that were not acceptable as a husband, but right now today, for whatever reason — I didn’t know I was going to be in front of this mic — but I’m here to change the narrative,” he said.

Along with referring to himself as the “priest of my own home,” he added, “If the enemy can separate Kimye, there’s going to be millions of families that feel like that separation is okay.” He continued: “… but when God brings Kimye together, there’s going to be millions of families that are going to be influenced to see that they can overcome the work of the separation, of trauma the devil has used to capitalize to keep people in misery while people step over homeless people to go to the Gucci store.”

Kanye West & Kim Kardashian Come Together To Co-Parent Son Saint’s Basketball Game

June 17, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Kanye West and Kim Kardashian have had a rocky relationship to say the least, most recently due to the rapper’s erratic behavior and social media attacks against her and the family. However, they put that aside for the kids time and time again. Recently, the two went to their son Saint’s basketball game on Friday (June 16) at the Mamba Academy in Thousand Oaks, Los Angeles. Moreover, they arrived separately, with the fashion mogul being the one to take their seven-year-old to the court. While the Chicago artist came with some company, his current wife Bianca Censori wasn’t there, although she bonded with the West kids in her own way.

The new couple recently went to a Hollywood bus tour after Ye’s wild birthday party. The event brought about rumors of a musical comeback and featured famous guests plus a controversial way to plate sushi: a naked woman. No matter the antics, it seems like Kim Kardashian is holding higher ground and trying her best to leave those worries behind. In fact, she threw their daughter North West a great birthday party of her own and took her to Dior with $1,250 to spend.

Still, that doesn’t mean that the 42-year-old doesn’t speak on her ex-husband from time to time. “I don’t want to be part of this narrative and it’s like, when is this ever gonna end?” she remarked in season three of “The Kardashians.” “Like, it never will and I’m stuck with this for the rest of my life. I still feel the need to not talk about it and protect it from my kids and I always will feel that way, but God, if people knew. I just would never do that to my kids. She actually doesn’t know,” she continued, referring to North.

“No TV, only Apple TV,” Kim Kardashian went on concerning Kanye West’s antics. “I can’t risk an Access Hollywood or anything on the news coming up with their dad mentioned and they want to watch. I have to figure out a way to protect and so they still haven’t seen anything, but then I go into crisis mode. Sometimes I feel like if he were to hit rock bottom, that’s his journey that he needs to figure out on his own. I used to spend hours and hours and hours of my day to be the clean-up crew. I just don’t have that energy.” For more updates on the split stars, log back into HNHH.

Kanye West and Kim Kardashian‘s divorce has been all but quiet and amicable. Today, Ye took to Instagram to share screenshots of an alleged conversation between him and Kardashian. The two appear to be arguing about where their children will attend school.

In one post, it looks like Kardashian has texted Ye, asking, “Can u please stop.”

The outgoing text, likely sent by Ye, says “No. We need to talk in person. You don’t have say so of where the kids go to school. Why you get say [so?] Cause you half white?”

In another post, Kardashian’s mother, Kris Jenner, seemingly communicates to Ye by way of text from Kardashian.

“From my mom- PLEASE Tell him to stop mentioning my name,” the incoming text reads. “I’m almost 67 years old and I don’t always feel great and this stresses me to no end.”

Ye appears to reply, saying, “Y’all don’t have [say] so over my black children and where they go to school. They will not do playboy and sex tapes. Tell your Clinton friends to come get me. I’m here.”

In another post, Ye shared a screenshot of an Instagram story posted by model Victoria Helena. The caption reads “Don’t let Kris make you do playboy like she made Kylie and Kim do. Hollywood is a giant brothel. Pornography destroyed my family. I deal with the addiction. Instagram promotes it. Not gonna let it happen to Northy and Chicago.”

A new season of The Kardashians premieres September 22 on Hulu. Though the trailer doesn’t touch a lot on the KimYe divorce, Kardashian teases “such a season of independence,” adding, “I really feel like I’ve found my personal confidence.”
