Kanye West’s 2016 Breakdown Saw Him Drawing On Bedsheets & Putting Pans In Luggage: Report

by

Kanye West’s mental health has been a cause of great concern for several years now, though the rapper has switched up his official diagnosis on more than one occasion. In the past, the Yeezy founder identified as bipolar, but now, he claims that his near-fatal car accident two decades ago left him dealing with symptoms of autism. Regardless of what the truth is, longtime fans of West know that one of the most difficult periods for him mentally was in 2016, when he began suffering from a severe breakdown which the New York Times is giving more insight into today (October 27).

For the most part, the outlet’s article reflects on the “Flashing Lights” hitmaker’s time spent working with Adidas. Elsewhere, it includes details from a deposition with Harley Pasternak, who previously worked as West’s personal trainer. According to him, he visited Ye’s house in late 2016, just days before the multi-talent ranted about Jay-Z sending “killers” after him while praising Donald Trump. Pasternak reportedly uncovered a suspicious West, who had become obsessed with the idea of the government coming after him.

“He was writing Bible verses and drawing spaceships on bedsheets with a Sharpie,” the Chicago native’s former coach shared. “A handful of worried friends and employees lingered nearby,” Pasternak further noted, also mentioning the “suitcases packed with pots, pans, and Tupperware” in the general area. It’s unclear what the bizarre luggage contents were for, but clearly, they helped Ye feel safe in his time of mental discomfort. The NYT additionally mentions the 46-year-old’s lengthy history of antisemitism and sexism in the work place, allegedly dating back as early as 2013.

Harley Pasternak was obviously offended by Kanye West’s anti-Semitic comments last year, and he’s not the only one who the father of four has upset with his love for free speech. Before another year comes to a close, we’ve documented some of Ye’s biggest feuds (specifically in the world of hip-hop), which you can read all about at the link below.

Latto Gets A Personal Trainer Instead Of Plastic Surgery

by

Celebrities have plenty of tactics for making sure they always look their best. Two of those routes that many have taken in the past are plastic surgeries and expensive personal trainers. In an interview with Cosmopolitan, Latto discussed facing this crossroad for herself. While she has gotten plastic surgery before in the past, Latto said in the interview that she decided against doing it again. She’s instead confident that turning to a personal trainer to help her nail down the right routines is the best way to stay in her absolute best form.

Recently there’s been yet another discussion about the safety of plastic surgeries. Wild ‘n Out star Jacky Oh passed away earlier this month after reportedly undergoing a combination of surgeries in Miami. Just a few days ago the plastic surgeon involved spoke out for the first time since her tragic death. His failure to mention her directly in the statement rubbed some of her family members the wrong way. Given those events, it’s unsurprising that Latto and some others are having second thoughts about their plastic surgeries.

Latto Opting For More Natural Way To Stay In Shape

Latto has released two new singles this year. She led off 2023 with “Lottery” alongside Lu Kala and followed it up with “Put It On Da Floor.” A few weeks ago Cardi B joined her for a remix of the latter which is fittingly called “Put It On Da Floor Again.” The song debuted at #13 on the Hot 100 last week and already has over 6 million streams on Spotify. The song attracted even more attention yesterday when Yung Miami dropped her own verse over the songs beat in an Instagram post.

Last week we learned that Latto was stretching her talents even further into the world of TV. She will make a cameo appearance alongside NLE Choppa in the final season of Grown-ish. What do you think of Latto’s decision to hire a personal trainer instead of undergoing plastic surgery? Let us know in the comment section below.

Kim Kardashian Reveals Her “Crazy” Workout Routine That Keeps Her Famous Figure Looking Right

by

If there’s ever been a celebrity to idolize in terms of their discipline, it’s obviously Kim Kardashian. The socialite somehow manages to balance her time between mothering four young children, studying law, filming a reality show, running a handful of brands, and of course, keeping her figure looking right and tight. On Saturday (February 18), she gave her followers a preview of how she takes care of the last part.

The 42-year-old posted a mirror selfie with her personal trainer, Senada Greca, yesterday morning. She markedly praised the fitness guru for always inspiring her. “Just trying to be like her today!” the SKIMS founder wrote while showing off her booty in a pair of black leggings. “Crazy workout, even when I was tired and didn’t feel like it I got up and pushed myself.”

As a result, Kardashian says she ended up having one of her “strongest workouts” to date. “Thanks for always pushing me,” she went on to praise her coach. Elsewhere on her Story, the Califonia native revealed some of the exercises that have been helping her. Among them are lateral squats and hip thrusts. She described the latter as “really disturbing” before poking fun at the face she made while bravely pushing through another rep.

During a recent interview with Vogue, Kardashian confirmed that she’s in the gym daily. Most of the time her workouts begin at 5:30 AM. It’s been said that she clocks just five hours of sleep each night. Still, she told the outlet that she’s presently in “the best shape of her life,” even without those extra minutes of beauty slumber.

Besides her undeniably gruelling workouts, the fashionista has also made time for some fun in her life. As DailyMail reports, she put her bikini body on full display in a new out-of-this-world campaign for her shapewear brand earlier this weekend. Afterward, she was seen partying in Vegas alongside her little sister Kendall Jenner and her model friend Hailey Bieber.

The trio stepped out in Sin City to attend the Adele concert. Beforehand they downed some Jell-O shots to help set the mood. She also shared various clips of the English songstress performing on stage, much to fans’ pleasure. See some of the content from Kardashian’s latest trip to Las Vegas below.

Blueface Clowned For Struggling To Deadlift

by

People recently clowned Blueface for struggling to do a deadlift while spending time with personal trainer and podcaster Bradley Martyn. Moreover, the California rapper’s girlfriend Chrisean Rock also gave it a shot and deadlifted over 300 pounds. Furthermore, it seems Blueface lifted a similar weight; anywhere from 270 to 320. However, given his very visible struggle as he picked the barbell up. While most of the comments under Martyn’s post with the couple were positive, others couldn’t help but poke fun at the MC struggling. After all, despite his volatile relationship and testy behavior, he’s not exactly ripped.

As Blueface picked up the barbell, he shook uncontrollably as he lifted it to his waist. After completing the single repetition, he dropped the barbell carelessly and exhaustedly to the ground, admitting he felt light-headed after just one. In addition, you can hear Chrisean call out concernedly for her boo as he shakes and rests up. Still, despite all the props and praise, obviously some jokes flew around. For example, former NFL running back Le’Veon Bell responded with “Shaking like a shripper [stripper]” via Instagram.

Also, people pointed out Blueface’s previous career as a football player for Fayetteville State University in North Carolina. “No way blueface made it all the way to college football with that deadlift form [crying emoji],” one user tweeted. Another added, “Blueface whole back gon be locked up tomorrow from that nasty deadlift.” However, the person that seemed to impress the most was Chrisean Rock, who lifted 315 pounds. In addition, consensus online indicates that she has better form than her boyfriend, so she definitely boasts some experience. Like Blueface, she also has a strong background in college athleticism.

Moreover, she was a track star at Santa Monica College in California, and said she used track to escape rough times in her home city of Baltimore. However, the sports world just didn’t work out for her in the long run. Instead, she sought to enter the hip-hop realm and become a successful rapper. During her journey, she met Blueface. The rest, as they say, is reality-TV-worthy history.
