Kanye West Explains Why Kris Jenner Is His Instagram Profile Picture 

by

It’s been an interesting few weeks for Kim Kardashian and her exes. Earlier this month, Ray J blasted the reality star and her mom, Kris Jenner, for allegedly being the brains behind their infamous 2007 sex tape. According to Ray, the momager watched three sex tapes starring him and Kim, and chose to leak the one that gave her daughter “a better look.”

“You’re watching a whole family create an empire from a lie they’ve created, it’s heartbreaking and disrespectful to all the entertainers who have been honest and true to their craft,” he stated in an Instagram rant. The “One Wish” singer isn’ the one of Kim exes to blast Jenner. Kanye West is known for outing the famous family — specifically Kim and Kris.

Earlier this month, he accused his ex-mother-law of coercing her two of her daughters, Kim and Kylie, to pose for Playboy. “Hollywood is a giant brothel. Pornography destroyed my family,” he shared in a post. I deal with the addiction [and] Instagram promotes it. Not gonna let it happen to Northy and Chicago.” 

Fans thought the father of four had reignited his war on Kris Jenner after he changed his profile photo to a picture of the famous momager. However, Ye’ denied the claims, saying that he “POSTED KRIS WITH THOUGHTS OF PEACE AND RESPECT.” For those claiming that the the DONDA rapper used the photo of Kris to perpetuate drama, he added, “LETS CHANGE THE NARRATIVE.”

Kanye’s new profile pic comes on the heels of reports that the 45-year old designer hired a high profile lawyer for his divorce case against Kim. According to Page Six, Ye hired Melinda Gates’ former lawyer Robert Stephan Cohen. Cohen has also represented Rupert Murdoch, Michael Bloomberg, Uma Thurman and James Gandolfini. 

Cohen recently said of his celebrity clientele, “We have more code names for our clients in this firm than probably a lot of other firms who do these things, because we have to generally hide and keep secret the fact that we’re representing somebody before it becomes public.”

Pornhub Asks IG Why Kim Kardashian Can Show Her “Exposed Ass” But They Get Banned

by

We don’t know what you had on your “End of September” bingo card, but Pornhub has entered the chat with a surprising addition. The popular adult entertainment website fired off a scathing letter to the powers that be at Meta and Instagram after their account on the latter platform was permanently banned.

Pornhub has demanded that the social media networks cease allegedly discriminating against adult entertainment and its workers, and they mentioned Kim Kardashian’s repeated nude moments, as well, in an open letter.

“We demand an explanation and guidance as to why our accounts are continuously deleted, and why content we spend money creating in order to engage with our audience is removed, even when we do not breach any of Instagram’s rules,” the letter read.

“Kim Kardashian has posted her fully exposed ass to her 330 million followers without any restrictive action from Instagram,” they added. “We are happy to see that Kim and the artistic team behind the image are free to share their work on the platform, but question why we are denied the same treatment.”

However, a Meta spokesperson stated that Pornhub repeatedly violated its guidelines and policies. According to Variety, on Instagram, Pornhub would create posts and videos that allegedly “encouraged people to become pornography performers.” It is said to be against the rules to make any attempts of recruitment for sexual activities of that nature.

DaniLeigh Says She Saw Texts Between B. Simone & DaBaby

by

As people weigh in about DaBaby’s projected sales numbers for his latest project, his name is once again entangled in drama related to his ex-girlfriend, DaniLeigh. Last night (September 27), rumors surfaced about DaniLeigh’s appearance on Wild ‘n Out, and it was said that she requested cast member B. Simone to not be included in that episode’s cast. People quickly began speculating about the gossip and alleged that it may have had something to do with DaBaby.

There was a time when B. Simone repeatedly went viral after thirsting over DaBaby on social media, and it left many to believe that her adoration of the rapper rubbed DaniLeigh the wrong way.

That hasn’t been confirmed or denied, but after this news picked up traction, Dani returned with an explanation. She admitted that she and Simone don’t get along and said that people are making it a bigger issue than it is.

“It was never a demand,” she said of the request to have B. Simone removed from her episode. “I don’t know why the blogs are putting out that I demanded B. Simone not to be on Wild ‘n Out. That wasn’t the case. Wild ‘n Out asked me, I love Wild ‘n Out shows, I’ve always supported Nick [Cannon], I always supported the comedians on the show.”

“Me and B. Simone are not cool. So, I just—my team asked if she doesn’t do the episode that I do, respectfully. It was never anything to be like, ‘I’m a diva, I don’t want’—I thought it’d be more mature to not have us sitting next to each other on a show, making it mad awkward and uncomfortable.”

“I’m protecting my peace. I’m protecting my heart on the situation. It wasn’t petty. She was actually there, so I’m sure she got paid. It wasn’t to take nobody from nobody’s pocket.”

DaniLeigh also alleged that B. Simone “made a whole diss song” about her and said she saw “text messages between” DaBaby and Simone in the past, but never mentioned it. She believes she’s handling the situation maturely because she’s trying to keep information to herself.

Kanye West Changes IG Profile Picture To Kris Jenner

by

Whether he comes down hard or drops subtle jabs, Kanye West isn’t letting up on applying pressure when it comes to Kris Jenner. There was a time when Ye saw Jenner as his mother-in-law, but once his split with Kim Kardashian went public, Ye didn’t mince words about Jenner’s influence.

During his previous rants on social media, West has made it clear that he has a bone to pick with the Kardashian-Jenner matriarch. Most recently, the very mention of her name reportedly caused Jenner to request that the mogul not mention her in his posts.

It looks like he honored that request and instead, took aim via his Instagram profile. It’s there that Ye made his profile photo a picture of Jenner, and while this doesn’t violate any rules, it can certainly get under someone’s skin.

West isn’t the only person who has Jenner on their radar; Ray J has been at it for weeks in an effort to clear his name. According to the singer, Jenner has led a campaign to vilify him in connection to the sex tape he released with Kim all those years ago. Ray has long insisted that he had nothing to do with the tape’s release and that Jenner orchestrated the entire ordeal.

Yet, Jenner recently sat down for a late-night talk show polygraph examination where she answered questions about being involved. She denied culpability and the test allegedly determined she was being truthful. This caused Ray J to pull out his receipts, including signed contracts.

Jamie Foxx Calls Out Podcasters, Says They’re Not “Philosophers”

by

Jamie Foxx shared a rant about podcasters and people who have a “loud fcking [sic] mouth” on his Instagram Story, Tuesday, prompting fans to theorize who he could have him so upset. One popular suggestion was DJ Akademiks, whose recent comments on older rappers and Reginae Carter have had countless people upset with him as of late.

“Just cause they got a podcast…don’t make them a philosopher,” the actor wrote. “Just cause they gotta loud fcking mouth… don’t make them the voice of the people.”

“He talking about you fam,” one user commented on a repost of the story by Akademiks, while many others shared the same sentiment.

As for what has had DJ Akademiks be the target of so much hate, he recently said that older rappers are “dusty,” comments he has since said were taken out of context. He also controversially discussed the dating life of Reginae Carter, the daughter of Lil Wayne.

One podcaster Foxx likely isn’t upset with is Joe Budden, considering that the rapper-turned-podcaster recently called Foxx “the most talented man on the planet.”

Foxx recently starred in the Netflix film, Day Shift, which was released last month. He’s also expected to star alongside Will Ferrell in the 2023 film, Strays.

When Nick Cannon isn’t working one of his many jobs, he’s in full time daddy mode with at least one of his nine children. Earlier this week, the TV host took to Instagram to celebrate his “brave” daughter, Powerful Cannon, as she got a cast taken off her right leg. He posted a video of the process, along with a photo of the joyful one-year old. 

“This little girl is so brave and strong,” he wrote. “Finally getting her cast cut off after truly living up to her name as a Powerful Queen Super Hero! A scary journey for Daddy to say the least but Pow kept me from being an emotional wimp! She is my hero!!” The Masked Singer host’s post comes on the heels of his other baby mama, Bre Tiesi, clapping back at critics who suggested that she get a nighttime nurse for their baby, at Nick’s expense. 

“KEEP MY PARENTING, MY KID AND MY BABY DADDY’S NAME OUT UR MOUTH,” she shared on her Instagram Stories. “Nick is NOT my sugar daddy. Nick is MY F–KIN CHILDS FATHER THAT IS ALL. Watch your f–kin mouth when you speak on mine!” Nick has yet to comment on Tiesi’s post. The Wild N’ Out host seems to be focused on the upcoming season of his hit MTV show, as well as the birth of the latest addition his family, Onyx Ice Cole Cannon with model Lanisha Cole. “I vow to protect, provide, guide and love this child to the best of my abilities,” Nick shared in a photo his newborn baby girl. 

Elsewhere in his brood, Nick Cannon is currently expecting his third with model Brittany Bell, his tenth overall. Abby De La Rosa is also expecting again, also marking her third child with Nick — his eleventh overall.

by

Their relationship has long been over, but it isn’t exactly out of mind. Soulja Boy and Nia Riley’s romance was introduced on a global scale years ago when they appeared on Love & Hip Hop Hollywood together, but quickly, their romance unraveled for a television audience. Soulja was said to have been cheating on his girlfriend, but more recently, Nia alleged that while they were together, the rapper abused her.

Nia claimed there was a time when he hit her while pregnant and shared a story of Soulja pointing a gun at her. Her father, Teddy Riley, caught up with VladTV and was asked about the accusations.

“Well, let me say this: Soulja Boy knows who I am and he knows I’m deep. He knows I’m very deep,” said the music icon. “We had an altercation, I was called a lot of names, and I got an apology. I’m lookin’ for an apology for what he’s done to my daughter. I’m lookin’ for that. As a man, I’m lookin’ for that and I think she deserves it.”

He continued: “‘Cause here’s someone who really stuck behind him, did [Love & Hip Hop Hollywood] for him, ’cause she thought this was gonna happen and it’s gonna be them. I watched them live together and I ain’t know all that was goin’ on.”

Things took a turn on Twitter as Vlad and Soulja had a brief exchange. Something prompted the media giant to write: “Hey @souljaboy, VladTV was already hot when we gave YOU your biggest interview. And unlike that SayCheese screenshot you showed, you don’t even have a top 20 interview on [VladTV’s YouTube]. Stop having weekly temper tantrums about me & sit down with me in person anytime.”

Soulja retweeted the message and added, “I made you, Vladimir.”

Akbar V’s Twitter Account Suspended After Cardi B Fallout

by

The internet was ablaze from morning until evening thanks to Cardi B and Akbar V’s epic blowout. The two women haven’t had much public contact with one another, but after Akbar landed herself a feature on Nicki Minaj‘s “Super Freaky Girl (Queens Mix),” she soon found her name being entangled with Minaj’s former foe.

There are some who have alleged that for days, Akbar has been subliminally shading Cardi with posts until finally, the Bronx rapper bit back.

The explosive fallout was witnessed in real-time by fans and admirers of both women. Cardi even shared a look at a sex tape of Akbar while Akbar countered by involving Offset in the drama. After she fired off a few insults, the Migos star jumped online to set her straight, denying allegations that he called her with angry messages.

In the follow-up, people noticed today that Akbar’s Twitter account has been suspended. This has caused all kinds of speculative reports and posts, as people weighed if Cardi deserved to be suspended, as well. Others suggested that Cardi’s team is in cahoots with the powers that be.

It is unclear if Akbar will receive her account back, but this isn’t the first time she’s dealt with matters like this.

Ari Fletcher Addresses Rumours About Moneybagg Yo, DreamDoll, Meek Mill, & More: Watch

by

On the latest episode of Dinner with the Don, 27-year-old Ari Fletcher had plenty of rumours to address, and the mother of one didn’t hesitate to get vulnerable when discussing everything from the current status of her relationship with Moneybagg Yo to the online gossip about her and DreamDoll’s alleged feud.

While working on cooking an at-home KFC Bowl with her friend Tuson, he asked The Don, “Are you single?”

Ari promptly looked up at him and responded with, “You know, I’m in between jobs,” with a shrug and a smile, earning a laugh from everyone in the room.

While that comment didn’t exactly answer the question, she would later reveal in the episode that she did, in fact, break up with her rapper boyfriend, although she didn’t specify exactly why. “I did break up with that motherf*cker,” she confirmed while stirring ingredients together.

“Yes, I did! Yes, I did, because he had me f*cked up!” she went on, although when asked if she plans to take her ex back, her friend chimed in and said, “Who knows what the future gon’ hold.”

At the same time, Fletcher clarified that the reason for her and the Memphis-born rapper’s drama has nothing to do with any infidelity. “That whole little thing, it wasn’t about no cheating, it didn’t have nothing to do with nobody else,” she clarified. “It was just between me and him.”

When she was asked about her friendship with DreamDoll – who she’s rumoured to have been beefing with lately – the YouTuber made it clear that while she has a lot of love for Dream, she’s “straight on her right now,” but that doesn’t necessarily mean they’re on the outs.

As for the gossip floating around that Fletcher had found herself a soccer player to spend time with after declaring herself a single woman, she shut those down quickly. “No, I do not know that man, y’all,” she insisted.

“Seriously, we just went to a soccer game because it was something that we’ve never done before, and I guess the passes we had just so happened to be his,” the model explained.

Finally, the Chicago native addressed the Meek Mill speculation that arose during New York Fashion Week, after the two celebrities posted up separately in similar-looking hotel rooms. The “FWM” artist had previously denied the claims shortly after they wound up on various blogs, and now Fletcher is doubling down on his response.

In the past, GQ Magazine had EST Gee sit down to examine his astounding collection of chains, rings, watches, and more.

The Louisville rapper began by showing his “G” pendants and chains, priced at around $10,000 each. His newest piece at the time was a custom letter pendant in yellow gold and covered in round-cut diamonds, engraved with the letters “EST.” Gee explained to viewers that the letter “G” represents the latter part of his name and the “EST” stands for “Everybody Shine Together.”

In addition to these, the 28-year-old owns an array of Cuban links and baguettes; most of the former are made of entirely white gold, ranging in price from $35,000, all the way to $65,000.

Many of these chains also feature round-cut diamonds in various patterns, with his most expensive pieces weighing in at a full kilo. As for his baguette chains, they are slightly smaller and tend to be either white gold or yellow gold.

George didn’t forget to open wide and show off his permanent grill, which he said came in at $24,000. Fully diamond in a honeycomb pattern, the rapper is not afraid to flash his 24k smile to the world.

EST Gee will be sure to add some new pieces to his collection following the release of I Never Felt Nun.
