Kanye West has been reinstated on the social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter), after a nearly eight-month suspension.
The musician and designer, who now goes by the name Ye, had his account reinstated Saturday. X told the Wall Street Journal that the account won’t be eligible for monetization, nor will advertisements appear next to posts.
Ye has yet to post on the social network since the account’s reinstatement.
Elon Musk, X’s owner, suspended Ye’s account last December after the musician shared an image combining the Star of David and a swastika, which was removed from the platform. At the time, Musk said Ye had breached a company rule against incitement to violence.
The account was reinstated after X received reassurance that Ye wouldn’t use the platform to share harmful language, the Wall Street Journal said, citing a source familiar with the matter.
R. Kelly is calling out his longtime friend being blocked from visiting him at FCI Butner prison. Kelly states his friend and former business manager Derrel McDavid attempted to visit him, but the warden would not allow it.
McDavid was a co-defendant with R. Kelly in his Illinois criminal case. The charge they jointly faced was dismissed.
According to Radar Online, McDavid was accused of coordinating hush money payments before the 2008 trial.
A motion filed in court reads, “Mr. McDavid and Mr. Kelly have maintained a longstanding friendship and business relationship spanning decades before Mr. Kelly’s incarceration.”
The warden declined the visit stating McDavid was a co-defendant. Representatives for Kelly added, “FCI Butner’s denial of visitation was inconsistent with Bureau of Prison (“BOP”) regulations and policies, patently unreasonable, and advanced no legitimate penological interest.”
He added, “FCI Butner’s determination is patently unreasonable, capricious, and inconsistent with the directives and policies of the federal regulations. There is absolutely no risk—let alone a reasonable one—that a visitation by Mr. McDavid would create a threat to the security and good order of the FCI Butner.”
Previously, audio from prison has R. Kelly referencing the harsh conditions of his prison. In the audio, Kelly stated he deserves to die of natural causes. The singer is reportedly battling blood clots in his legs.
“I don’t deserve to die because somebody miscommunicated or somebody took a guess at what’s going on with my leg. I’m not supposed to die this way,” R. Kelly said. “You’re not even supposed to take a chance on that.”
He added, “And that’s why I’m speaking out on this because I’m scared for my life in that area. And who wouldn’t be? They treat animals better than that.”

One of R. Kelly’s victims, Faith Rodgers, who accused the singer of failing to disclose a sexually transmitted disease before sleeping with her, is demanding the jailed singer turn over medical information.

Rodgers also wants him to make a list of all credit cards he used from 2017 to 2019. The victim’s list of demands asks Kelly to state all the names of any medical professionals he used, state each and every hospital or clinic that he was a patient of from January 2017 to January 2019.
Further, she asked Kelly to admit he failed to tell her about his STD before having sex with her and that he forced her to engage in sexual acts without her consent.
A viral TikTok star who was arrested in Dubai for screaming in public faces 2 years in prison, according to family.
Tierra Young Allen, 29, was arrested in Dubai in May for yelling at a rental car agent after she was involved in a fender bender.
Tierra, of Houston, arrived in Dubai in April on holiday with a friend.
She was a passenger in a rental car driven by her friend when the accident occurred. The car was impounded along with Tierra’s belongings.
Tierra said she returned to the rental agency after the accident to pick up her ID, credit card, and other belongings in the vehicle.
However, according to Tierra, the rental car agent asked her for a large amount of money to return her belongings.
According to FOX 26 Houston, as the confrontation grew tense, the man yelled at Tierra and she raised her voice back at him.
Tierra was not aware that females are expressly forbidden from raising their voices at men in Muslim countries.
“She found out she could only receive those items if she paid an undisclosed amount of money,” her mother, Tina Baxter told FOX 26 Houston. “She dealt with a very aggressive individual, a young man there who was screaming at her.”
FOX 26 Houston reported that Houston Community Activist Quanell X addressed Tierra’s predicament, saying:
“She is in jail for one reason and one reason alone, she raised her voice. In that country, a female is not even allowed to raise her voice. If she raises her voice it’s punishable by jail time.”
Tierra is not in jail, but her passport has been confiscated and she is not allowed to leave Dubai until her trial. She faces 2 years in prison for yelling at a man in public.
The popular TikTok influencer, who is known as Sassy Trucker, self-titled herself ‘The first female semi truck driver in Dubai’.

Damon Dash recently called out his former friend and business partner for collaborating with R. Kelly on the pair’s 2002 joint album The Best of Both Worlds and its 2004 sequel Unfinished Business.
During an appearance on the That’s Fucked Up podcast, the Roc-A-Fella co-founder spoke on Jay’s relationship with Kelly, who in 1994 married then 15-year-old Aaliyah when he was 27 years old.
According to Dame, who started dating Aaliyah a year or so before the R&B singer passed away in 2001, Hov’s decision to collaborate with R. Kelly always bothered him.
56-year-old Kelly was recently sentenced to an additional 20 years in prison on child pornography and enticement charges. 19 of those years can be served concurrently with the 30-year prison sentence Kelly received last year on charges of racketeering and sex trafficking.
“I just couldn’t believe he did a project with R. Kelly knowing that he’d raped my girl,” Dash shared. “I was like, ‘Just don’t put my name on that, I don’t want no money from that. If it is, put it to Aaliyah foundation.’”
“Like, they did this shit twice,” Dame added, referring to Jay and Kelly’s sequel project.

Rapper DDG must have been feeling a way about watching his girlfriend The Little Mermaid star Halle Bailey on the big screen with another man. This New Music he dropped off an album called Maybe It’s Me, with the song “Famous” seemingly venting about his relationship woes with Bailey. “Filmin’ a movie now you kissing dudes / You know I love you a lot / I don’t give a f**k if that shit for promo / I don’t wanna see this s**t no more,” the Michigan-born artist made it clear.
Since the song’s release, the hashtag #FailedRapper has been trending on Twitter. “Halle Bailey is a beautiful and talented soul. DDG is very jealous and possessive about her career. The fact that he threatened to hurt her image because he is insecure is a bad sign,” one person reflected after catching up on the tea.
Elsewhere, others suggested that it could all be a ploy for attention. “Lol that’s [wild] failed rapper is still trending. @HalleBailey and @PontiacMadeDDG I feel like [they’re] good. If you know DDG you know he’s a troll. N if Halle wasn’t cool with the song it wouldn’t be out. DDG is like 6ix9ine but a good boy,” someone speculated.
Four years ago director John Singleton passed away after suffering a stroke. The 51-year-old director had been in a coma after suffering a stroke while at a Los Angeles hospital for another health concern. He died peacefully and surrounded by friends, his family said in a statement shared by his publicist.
Now John’s daughter Cleopatra is fighting in court with his mother after getting cut off of $2700 school allowance following her graduation arguing she is still enrolled in online school.
Radar Online reports:
According to court documents obtained by RadarOnline.com, Cleopatra, one of John’s 7 children, asked the court to shut down the late director’s mom Shelia Ward.
As we first reported, Shelia, who has been in charge of John’s estate since his 2019 death, recently asked the court to allow her to stop paying Cleopatra $2,700 per month.
The support was initially approved by the court in December 2019. The money was to be used by Cleopatra for support because she was a “full-time student who did not have other sources of income.”
Sheila said Cleopatra graduated from Xavier University of Louisiana in May 2021 but was still being paid. She asked that Cleopatra’s final payout from John’s estate be reduced by the amount she was paid to her after the date of graduation from Xaiver University.
Now, Cleopatra said her grandmother’s request should be shut down because she’s currently enrolled in an online school.
Further, Cleopatra said Sheila’s final accounting report submitted to the court should not be approved. She claimed it contained “woefully inaccurate” information and failed to include documentary proof for certain transactions.
A judge has yet to rule.
Singleton, who was also a screenwriter and producer, made history in 1992 when he became the first black director nominated for an Academy Award and, at 23, the youngest nominee in that category for the 1991 drama “Boyz n the Hood,” his directorial debut. The critically acclaimed film follows the lives of three teenage boys in Los Angeles and addresses questions of race, violence and relationships.
