Ari Lennox Fans Ask If She Was “Dykin It” As 2016 Photo Resurfaces, Singer Responds

by

For Ari Lennox, 2023 is off to a strong start. After finally delivering her sophomore album, age/sex/location, at the end of last year, the Dreamville artist gave us her first new vocals in a minute on the Creed III soundtrack. Along with several of her labelmates, and other hip-hop and R&B favourites, she helps paint a perfect sonic picture for Michael B. Jordan’s directorial debut. “Greater” finds her showing out on her own, but on “Talk To Me,” she was joined by Omen and OG DAYV.

Aside from that exciting project, which landed on Friday (March 3), Lennox has also been busy entertaining audiences on stages all across the nation. Her tour kicked off a few weeks ago, boasting many sold-out dates and sultry performances from the Washington, D.C. native. From time to time, she’s even been teasing social media with tantalizing thirst traps of her various tour looks. Most recently, the “Pressure” hitmaker gave us a preview of the look she rocked in Connecticut.

More Tour Thirst Traps

On Sunday (March 5), the R&B diva posted up in a pair of tiny denim shorts and a shiny metal bra on Twitter. “Connecticut was love,” she wrote in her tweet, including an image of her singing to a full crowd gazing back at her with immense love. “This was an amazing show from top to bottom,” one attendee responded to Lennox’s commemorative post. “Vocals are consistently fire. Ari is a sanger. When you are ready a live album will be [amazing], I feel like all the greats have one.”

While her new thirst traps are certainly getting their share of attention, another hot topic of conversation surrounding the 31-year-old right now is her sexuality. Over the weekend, a TikTok featuring a throwback photo of Lennox from 2016 surfaced online, showing her without makeup and in a more masculine presenting outfit. “Mmm honey, was Ari Lennox dykin’ it out here in these streets before she got famous?” one user asked. “‘Cuz her energy makes this make sense to me.”

Ari Responds to Twitter’s Sexuality Speculation

By the time she saw the tweet for herself, Lennox couldn’t help but laugh at the situation. “I leave Twitter for three days… THREE DAYS,” she joked. In the replies, others pulled out more past photos of the singer that show her dressing similarly. “Explain this too, it’s giving very much butch,” someone pressed her for answers. “Let me not know how to dress in peace, DAMN,” she clapped back.

Elsewhere online, many are pointing out that she didn’t explicitly deny the rumours, leaving them with a shred of hope that the entertainer might play for both teams. Of course, nothing has been confirmed, but she’s been publicly linked to a few men throughout her career. Keep scrolling for more of Twitter’s discourse about Ari Lennox’s sexuality, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.

Halle Bailey & DDG Relationship Timeline

by

Halle Bailey and DDG are one of the hottest couples out right now.  Though, we do not know how long they have really been each other’s lives, we can only speculate.  One of the first times we’ve seen the young couple together was on Christmas in 2021.  There was a photo circulating online of Halle at DDG’s home for the holidays.  The rumors started then, but didn’t really heat up until last year.

From attending awards shows to red carpet movie premieres, the past year DDG and Halle have been putting their relationship on display.  With rumors, old flames, and social media, it’s hard to have a drama-free relationship these days.  But, they both manage to keep things together.  Although we don’t know everything about their relationship, we have been keeping up with their love life.

Here’s a timeline of DDG and Halle Bailey’s romance.  

The Beginning

January 1, 2022:  At the top of the year, Halle Bailey and DDG were spotted at the Usher’s Las Vegas Residency.  That’s when the rumors started to circulate throughout social media.  Usher even posted a picture with the rumored couple on his Instagram story that night.

January 7, 2022: DDG posts photo on Instagram on vacation in a snowy area with snowboarding gear on.  Halle also posts a photo in a winter setting snuggling with her cat.  Fans speculated that they were on vacation together, possibly the Maldives, though neither party confirmed that to be true.

February 4, 2022: DDG takes Halle on an adventurous date.  The two went underwater swimming like mermaids while holding hands.  Halle said it was the most fun she has had in a while.

February 7, 2022: A month later, they were out together again in Los Angeles.  Paparazzi caught them leaving Nobu restaurant as Bailey tried to keep her head down, while getting in the car.

February 19, 2022: DDG defends Halle after a fan makes a negative comment about her on social media.  Bailey went on Instagram Live to show how she looks without any makeup on.  While watching live, DDG took to the comments to let her know how beautiful she is.  One user didn’t feel the same way and wrote, “She’s not cute to me”.

DDG had time to clap back and responded, “You too old for this.  Yo [p*****] barely work [a clown emoji] look in da mirror . U a 2 on yo BEST day.”

DDG & Halle Make It Official

March 27, 2022: DDG makes their relationship Instagram official by wishing Bailey a happy birthday with the caption “Happy Birthday to the beautifulest, the flyest, the sweetest [heart emoji] love you forever[sad face emoji, diamond emoji]”

April 18, 2022: Weeks after making their relationship officially pubic, the couple attend Coachella.  During a party, Halle & DDG are dancing, smiling, and taking selfies.

June 3, 2022: Halle posted a video on TikTok of her teaching DDG how to sing.  Looks like he might be doing a duet with his girlfriend in the near future.

June 26, 2022: The young couple made their debut on the red carpet at the BET Awards. 

Love Is In The Air

July 5, 2022: DDG sits down with DJ Akademiks for an interview where he has nothing but praises for his girlfriend.

”I honestly get inspired by my girl.  She honestly motivated me to be better and work harder and get to certain levels.  I look up to her in a sense ‘cause it’s, like, I never been around nobody that really…’cause i feel like I’m always the motivator, I’m the inspirer.”

August 6, 2022: A month after DDG made his sweet comments about his girl, she returned the favor.  In an Essence cover feature,  Halle says she is “for sure” in love with DDG as she has been a fan of his since 2015, when DDG was a Youtuber.

August 26, 2022:  DDG filmed the video for his song, “If I Want You”, and guess who was the star?  None other than his lover, Halle.  Not only is she the star of the video, but she also provides some background vocals.

Halle & DDG Out & About

September 23, 2022: DDG speaks with DJ Bootleg Kev, in which he discusses the racist backlash Halle has been getting from being casted as Ariel, in the new version of The Little Mermaid. 

”I didn’t know people was this racist-I didn’t know this was a thing.”  He continued to express his confusion with the racist remarks.  ”I thought this s*** was gone already, I thought that s*** was gone!  I thought Martin Luther King canceled that s*** out! This s*** is crazy, I was like ‘what the f*** is these n***** talking about?’”

Many fans did not like what he said, but the rapper assured fans he was only joking.

September 28, 2022: The young hot couple attended Paris Fashion Week together as they both wore comfortable casual outfits to Roger Viver’s show.

October 10, 2022: Date night again for the couple as they leave a restaurant in Los Angeles.  DDG’s birthday is on the 10th as well as Halle took to Instagram to appreciate her boo with a montage of phots.

October 22, 2022: They attended the 5th annual Wearable Art Gala.  The couple complimented each other’s outfits by wearing all-black.  DDG wore an all-black suit while Bailey donned a black jeweled gown.

December 13, 2022: The couple attend the premiere for Avatar 2: The Way of the Water.

Drama in 2023

This year, the young couple are facing some challenges.  Earlier this year, after posting a cryptic tweet, DDG had to clear up rumors that he and Halle are not breaking up.  Fans were confused about his tweet:  ”All these girls the same ain’t no wayy” with a crying face emoji.  He also removed all of his pictures of her on his Instagram and stopped following her.

Chloe and Halle’s older sister, Sky, was confused as well and wanted answers.  She took to Instagram Live to blast DDG, but soon recanted her statements as Halle assured her, she wasn’t having any issues with her man.  

DDG responded on Twitter stating that there was no cheating going on, reminding people that it’s just Twitter.

DDG x Halle vs Rubi Rose

Last month, after Halle posted a photo of herself to Instagram, fans noticed she was wearing the same shirt Rubi Rose wore when she was with DDG.  Rose and DDG dated briefly in 2020.  She saw this as well and took to Twitter to call the rapper a “weirdo”, but she didn’t stop there.

Rose exposed DDG for sliding in her DMs not too long ago.   Apparently, DDG hit Rose up first with intentions to link up.  Rose responds by writing, “U hitting me the day y’all argue is so u lol” and DDG replied, “lol u right, lemme go heal first”.  The two former flames went back and forth on Twitter with insults.

Bailey chimed in and stood by her man with the tweet, ”the devil is working lol please don’t feed into the lies, especially from a third party”.

Last week, the couple was at Milan Fashion Week with all smiles.  It’s safe to say they are doing well!

Let us know if you think Halle and DDG will last in the comments.

Yung Miami Explains Not Wanting Marriage, City Girls Preview New Music At Rolling Loud

by

The Rolling Loud California festivities have nearly wrapped for another season, but there’s still plenty to discuss regarding the countless performances. Some of Saturday’s biggest sets came from Rubi Rose, Duke Deuce, Curren$y, Young Nudy, Chief Keef, and Kevin Gates. The name attendees were most excited to see return to the stage, however, was Travis Scott, whose set ultimately only lasted about 30 minutes.

La Flame’s show may have been a flop, but thankfully, Lil Wayne saved the evening by bringing out Nicki Minaj, who reminded everyone in the vicinity exactly why she’s the Queen of Rap. Earlier in the day, several other female artists impressed, including Mellow Rackz, and BIA, who debuted her new “SIXTEEN” single. Additionally, the City Girls put in work, letting us know that their next project will be seriously hot.

City Girls Crush Their Rolling Loud Set

On Saturday (March 4) evening, Yung Miami and JT entertained thousands of fans in person and at home on the Rolling Loud stage. Both rap divas had their curves on full display in coordinated, feather-clad blue and yellow outfits, which complimented their music’s fun, confident vibe. They pulled out plenty of fan favourites from their discography, and also surprised the crowd while teasing new music.

While the City Girls grooved and rapped along to the bass-heavy beat for “Piñata,” their dancers markedly moved their behinds with the music. Though they didn’t know the few bars yesterday, they’re sure to be stuck in fans’ heads after listening to the teaser on repeat. It remains unclear when we’ll be hearing Caresha and her partner in rhyme’s catchy song, but fingers crossed that it lands before summer to help set the mood.

Yung Miami Isn’t Feeling Marriage

Elsewhere in the news, the REVOLT podcast host is making headlines for expressing her views on marriage. “I don’t want to get married cos I feel like men are not faithful,” she said during a recent Instagram Live session. “I take everything personal, I will never forget. If my husband cheats on me, Imma kill him.” As you may know, Yung Miami spends plenty of her free time with Diddy, though they both make it well-known that they’re still single. Read more about their unique relationship dynamics here, and check back later for more pop culture news.

Lil Yachty & Mariah The Scientist Beef Over Dating Rumours

by

Like many others in the music industry, Mariah the Scientist didn’t always plan on becoming a singer. She came onto the scene with a bang in 2019, sharing her MASTER project including popular titles like “Beetlejuice,” “Reminders,” and “Note to Self.” In the years since, she’s given us 2021’s RY RY WORLD featuring Young Thug and Lil Baby, as well as last year’s Buckles Laboratories Presents: The Intermission four-pack EP.

Before she became known as Young Thug’s current love interest, and an R&B starlet in her own right, Mariah was a student at St. John’s University in New York. She was previously accepted at the school on a biology scholarship, hence her stage name, but ultimately dropped out to pursue a career in music. Before she was involved with the YSL head, the “Church” songstress was rumoured to be with Lil Yachty, who some think is the real reason she walked away from her post-secondary education.

Mariah’s Life Before Music

As XXL reports, earlier this weekend a tweet that brought attention back to the rumoured pair’s years-old drama appeared online. “How do you go to school to be an anesthesiologist and [end] up flunking out [because] of Lil Yachty?” the account holder asked, earning thousands of likes. In a series of since-deleted posts of his own, the “Broccoli” hitmaker spoke out on the situation. “Lol why do y’all keep trying me over this woman?” he asked. “I been [quiet] for so long but [please] stop making up this weird ass false narrative.”

He went on to call out the Scientist for staying silent as well, writing, “and the fact Mariah just let all these lies go on is weird to me. Y’all really be on d*ck about shit y’all [know] nothing about… Go touch grass.” Of course, the drama didn’t stop there. When another internet troll suggested that Yachty got a friend of the 25-year-old’s pregnant, he shut down that gossip too. “This is also just not true. Lmao, they were never friends… EVER, never met. Rarely had a full conversation. They just followed each other… [YOU] N*GGAS [ARE] WEIRD!!!!!!!!!!!”

Lil Yachty Clears His Name, The Scientist Responds

Further clearing his name in another tweet, the “Poland” artist added, “and me and Mariah wasn’t dating at the time… Again!!!!!! Only time I’ma say this. Leave me out of it,” his rant concluded. When Yachty finished speaking his truth, it was the Scientist’s turn to enter the chat. “I know a n*gga ain’t having [something to] say ’bout [something] I don’t ever speak on,” she wrote on the same app. “Miles [you] got to be dizzy, I will air [you] out on this bitch,” her since-removed response read. See it all for yourself above, and check back later for more hip-hop news updates.

Pete Davidson & Chase Sui Pack On The PDA After Ice Spice Dating Rumors

by

Even though they previously denied dating rumors, Pete Davidson and Chase Sui Wonders laid on heavy PDA during their Hawaii vacation. Moreover, photographers spotted the couple on Wednesday (March 1) at Waimea Canyon on the island of Kauai. Furthermore, the two reportedly spent a winter break there, which they’ve kept enjoying. Also, they brought the celebrity allure down as they walked among fellow visitors and patrons and asked people to take pictures of them with their phones. All in all, the two’s closeness eviscerated earlier rumors concerning Davidson’s love life and new partners.

For example, Twitter recently came up with a theory that the comedian was dating Ice Spice. Of course, these rumors are part of the Internet wanting the “Bikini Bottom” star to date anyone she’s close to. Interestingly enough, the page that prompted the rumors say they explicitly post fake news for fun, not to be taken seriously. Still, people saw the headline and reacted hilariously with speculation and disbelief. Even with social media starting a fire every time he dates someone new, at least the two seem happy to be away from it all.

Pete Davidson & Chase Sui Show PDA On Hawaii Vacation

Of course, the comedy star’s dating history is well-documented, extensive, and notorious at this point. After much publicized relationships with the likes of Kim Kardashian and Emily Ratajkowski, he’s become a gossip headline mainstay. However, it hasn’t impacted his career or comedy chops, at least according to some people. In fact, Chase and Pete met on the set of the 2021 film Bodies Bodies Bodies. Moreover, they also worked together on Davidson’s series “Bupkis,” loosely based on his life.

Meanwhile, Pete’s dating history’s ups and downs caused him to make multiple back-and-forths on his body art. For example, he recently removed tattoos dedicated to Kim Kardashian. Fans noticed the removals upon seeing pictures of him and Sui on their Hawaii vacation, which is quite ironic. Hopefully the comedian can simply enjoy a relationship one day without media breathing down his neck. Regardless, come back to HNHH for the latest updates, news, and rumored or confirmed relationship statuses of Pete Davidson.

Michael B. Jordan’s Best Movie Performances

by

Actor Michael B. Jordan, 36, previously linked to model and entrepreneur Lori Harvey, 26, may be newly single, but that doesn’t stop him from getting to work. Best known for his performances in movies like Without Remorse, Creed, Black Panther, and Fruitvale Station, Jordan shows a versatile acting range with his ability to transform from boxing champ mentored by Rocky Balboa to human torch in Marvel’s, Fantastic Four to the oppressed family man in the true story about a thoughtful and hardworking man facing tragedy amid an an unlawful arrest. Though an act, thoughtful and hardworking seem to describe Jordan to a tee. 

Michael B. Jordan’s Relationship With Socialite Lori Harvey

Once Michael B. Jordan and Harvey split from longtime and very public relationship in 2022. Jordan exemplified himself as a true gentleman by saying nothing but good things about socialite ex, Harvey. He’s remaining positive about his future relationships stating on SNL, “Now, most people after a breakup are like, ‘I’m gonna get in better shape.’ But, I was already in Creed shape! So, I had to be like, ‘Alright, I guess I’ll learn a new language.’ Anyway, estoy en Raya.” Meaning he’s joined the elite dating app, Raya in hopes of finding love. Harvey, previously linked to rapper Future, 39 in 2019, is now dating actor Damson Irdis, 31. 

Though Jordan remains single, he is still hard at work. Not only does Jordan dedicate his time to changing his physique for his demanding roles like Creed I, II, and III, he was also named one of TIME’s 2020 100 Most Influential People in the World for his charity and volunteer work. He donated customized sneakers to the largest African American women and girl’s nonprofit in the US, GirlTrek.

New York Times Ranks Jordan as 15th Greatest Actor of the 21st Century

With his personal life and charitable work to the side, Jordan focuses mostly on his new role as both director and producer to his upcoming movies, Creed III and I Am Legend 2. Not only that, but Jordan will be taking on roles in both movies. It’s no wonder New York Times ranked Jordan as the 15th greatest actor in the 21st century. He shows true skill while personifying his demandingly gripping roles which take leadership, strength, emotional depth, and physical endurance, all while taking the lead behind the camera as well.

Jordan Prepares for His Standout Movie Roles

For his role in Tom Clancy’s Without Remorse, Jordan talks about how the character-work while developing his role for lethal US Navy Seal, John Kelly who was seeking revenge from Russian hitmen in the killing of his pregnant wife and unit members, was something that resonated with him on a personal level. He says it wasn’t only the necessary endurance for the role that made him train harder, but the story itself. Jordan also states that getting through the second half of the set was difficult, as the training was strenuous. But, he made it work.

For his role in the Creed trilogy, Jordan had to train harder than ever before, Mentored in the movie by none other than Sylvester Stallone as Rocky Balboa, for his role as boxing champion Adonis, Jordan had to dedicate all day to training, yet again. Jordan’s character in Creed faces both wins and losses as he battles in both the ring and his life. Being the son of the late heavyweight champion, Apollo Creed, Adonis has to prove himself as a boxer to not be taken lightly. As the franchise has three separate films, Jordan has had to not only stay in training mode for multiple years, but stay mentally focused as well.

He’s Apart Of The Marvel Movie Franchise

Jordan’s next standout role was his act as antagonist in the Black Panther. Here, Jordan played an American black mercenary operative who challenged T’Challa, played by the late Chadwick Boseman. His character battled for the revenge of his father who was murdered by T’Challa’s father, the black panther. T’Challa accepts Jordan’s character, Erik Killmonger, aka N’Jadaka, request to avenge his late father. The two go on to battle in another film where Jordan had to again rigorously train his physical body forthe role.

Michael B. Jordan’s role in the true story of a young black man, Oscar Grant, murdered by a police officer on duty at a train station in Oakland, CA., was yet another standout role where he embodied a strong man who upon being cornered to his demise, held his dignity to the very end. Winning multiple awards at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival for its clutching dramatics of an innocent man, Fruitvale Station was a role where Jordan had to develop a deep character portrayal of a father, loyal friend, and grocery store worker.

In the film, Grant, upon a ride on the train one morning, was caught up in a bust. He was taken aside by police, and in an effort to first suffocate Grant, an Officer stands off and pulls his trigger. The officer proceeds to cuff Grant after shooting him on his backside, ending in Grant’s unlawful death.

Michael B. Jordan’s Favorite Roles

Though Jordan played many iconic roles, he says that playing Vince in Friday Night Lights was fun to take on. He had never played organized football and enjoyed the first role where he had to physically prepare himself. Jordan also says his role as Adonis in Creed was a good learning experience. He had to train 2-3X a day 6x a week for over a year with a strict diet.

Jordan’s Next Moves…

To no surprise, Jordan’s acting roles have led him to more than just accolades and awards. He’s trained his body so hard that People Magazine named him as 2020’s Sexiest Man Alive. With Creed III released, Jordan can be found preparing for interviews regarding his exemplary acting and directorship of the movie. As for Jordan’s next role after Creed III, he will be starring alongside Will Smith in I Am Legend 2. Also producing the film, we should expect a very focused Jordan as the next year unfolds.

Reggie Bush’s Wife Lilit Shares Dripping Wet Dance Video: “Happy Birthday Daddy”

by

Birthdays are certainly reason enough to celebrate. For those who happen to be in love, however, going all out with romantic (and sometimes sexy) presents for your partner is never a bad idea. This was advice clearly given to Lilit Avagayn before her husband, Reggie Bush, turned 38 earlier this week. In honour of her man, the dance choreographed an intimate routine to Chris Brown’s “Under The Influence,” sure to leave him tantalized.

“Happy Birthday Daddy,” she wrote in the caption of her commemorative Instagram post. “I dedicate this dance to you, my love. Sometimes mommy dances,” the brunette beauty added. The post was later edited to address the hate comments that have been pouring in. Due to the intimate nature of her routine, and the water pouring down making it all the more inappropriate, many viewers were left uncomfortable by Avagayn’s antics.

Alexa, Play “Birthday Sex”

“There are some things you just gotta keep between you and your husband,” one person wrote. “Why do we have to see you dedicating your body to him?” Clapping back at comments like this, Bush’s wife wrote, “I’m a dancer! I wanted to do a dance and post it on MY social media and dedicate the dance to my husband. How can anyone be mad at that? Just enjoy the performance.”

Thankfully, not all the replies to Avagayn’s birthday tribute were negative. “That is awesome that you know how to keep the spark going in your marriage and that you still find ways to let him know he is the one,” one person praised the 35-year-old. “I am surprised at some responses when this looks like the choreography from many dance videos we see on social media. Also when singers do this in their videos it is art.”

Reggie and Lilit’s Life Together

As TMZ notes, Reggie Bush and Lilit Avagayn tied the knot nearly a decade ago, in 2014. They share three young children together, Agyemang, Briseis, and Uriah, all pictured with their parents above. Do you think the birthday dance video was too much for Instagram? Let us know in the comments, and check back later for more pop culture news.

Kim Kardashian Ready To Date, Wants Man Who “Isn’t Famous In Hollywood”: Report

by

Kim Kardashian has been a part of numerous failed relationships throughout her life, but she’s not giving up on love. According to a Friday (March 3) report from PEOPLE, the socialite is feeling “ready” to start dating again after ending things with Pete Davidson in mid-2022. It sounds like her next beau could be very different from the men from her past.

When she was only 19 years old, the mother of four eloped with music producer Damon Thomas. Their divorce was finalized three years later, in 2003, at which time Kardashian was spending time with Ray J. During their relationship, the singer and model famously made a sex tape together, which was leaked in February 2007. As many have pointed out, this was the true catalyst for her inevitable rise to fame.

Kim’s Romantic Past

As Us Weekly notes, Kardashian also spent time with two Nicks – Lachey and Cannon – before meeting long-term beau Reggie Bush. They were together on and off from 2007 to 2010. After that, the reality star stepped out with a handful of other stars before connecting with Kris Humphries. She and the athlete were engaged less than a year after meeting. While they went through with their wedding, it ended after just 72 days and wasn’t settled until April 2013.

Kanye West is the man who came into the SKIMS founder’s life next, and though their marriage also ultimately ended, they share four beautiful children together. Their split was publicly played out via the rapper’s Instagram feed, but he’s been far quieter on Instagram as of late. When Kimye went their separate ways, she found a spark with Davidson, but that burnt out after nine months.

Looking to the Future

After taking time off from romance to heal and focus on her family, Kardashian has formed a better idea of what she’s looking for in a man. “Kim hasn’t been dating, but is ready again,” insiders told PEOPLE earlier this week. “She took a breather after Pete, but she is interested now. She would love to date someone who isn’t famous in Hollywood. Someone in finance would be perfect.”

Sources shared that the makeup mogul “has a lot of things going on that make her happy,” and being able to share that with a partner would bring her joy. Who would you like to see Kim Kardashian date next? Let us know in the comments, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.

Kanye West’s Dating History

by

Kanye West, 45, is easily one of music’s biggest icons, as his creative genius is both emotionally moving and intellectually developed. Not only do his rhythmic lyrics of poetic rap make him a standout in the music industry, but his many accolades prove he’s one of the greatest, as not many artists articulate their musical ability the way West does. His 4X platinum debut album, The College Dropout, also named to Rolling Stone’s 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. It showcased West’s musical outlook through his emotive lyrics and layered beats influenced by genres alike. His albums to follow like Graduation, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, and Watch The Throne would soon preview West as the influential artist that he is to this day. 

Ye Named To Rolling Stone’s 100 Greatest Songwriters of All Time

With 22 Grammy awards, West is one of the most decorated artists of our generation. When his first three studio albums were nominated for Album of the Year at the Grammys, Rolling Stone was quick to name West as one of the 100 Greatest Songwriters of All Time alongside artists like Jay-Z, Michael Jackson, and Elton John. 

Though the Chicago-based rapper has dedicated most of his life to generating, creating, and producing music, West made the time to become a father of four with entrepreneur and model Kim Kardashian, 42. Focused on his life outside of music like fatherhood and his infamous Sunday Services of praise and prayer, West has taken a step back from the “ultralight beam”. He is now focused on his new relationship with architect and Yeezy designer Bianca Censori, 27.

Currently not only linked but married to Censori, West tied the knot just months after his public divorce from Kardashian. Though West and Censori had a private wedding ceremony, the two have yet to file a marriage certificate. Therefore, their marriage is not completely legal. With a master’s in building design from Melbourne University in Australia, it’s no wonder West is attracted to Censori, as she displays a calm demeanor and knowledgeable intellect, just opposite of West’s extroverted eccentricity. Though the two share their creativity, there’s yet to be much information on the newlyweds other than West’s tribute to his wife in his new song, “Censori Overload“, where he raps, “Waking up to I can’t do this anymore texts, and the Bible said I can’t have any more sex till marriage.”

Kim Kardashian Says She And Kanye West Have No Communication

Before Censori, West was “bound to” Kardashian in a seven-year marriage beginning in 2014 with their destination wedding in Italy. The divorcées share children, North, 9, Saint, 7, Chicago, 5, and Psalm, 3. Though West reportedly bought the mansion across the street from Kardashian’s Calabasas home, Kardashian bought it back from him and states that the two have zero communication in their co-parenting settlement where Kardashian is receiving $200,000 a month from West. Throughout their marriage, Kardashian showed West support in his controversial campaign to run for President, among many other public antics from West. The two seemingly fell for each other long before their relationship started but made a clear break from one another after their divorce was finalized in 2022.

Julia Fox Says Kanye West Would Constantly Text Her

Before West wed his second wife Censori in 2023, he was in a public relationship with model Julia Fox, 32. Fox says that West was very persistent in courting her, saying he would constantly text her. Though she was apprehensive to date another “boring” celebrity, Fox was soon to give in to her feelings for West. Fox claims she was only trying to distract West so he wouldn’t bother Kardashian, but their public relationship seemingly manifested into more than just texting, as Fox states that she and West had many deep conversations about hopes and dreams. Fox ended their relationship after two months due to West regaining his Twitter access and taking to social media again. “I’m not gonna stick around for this s**t,” says Fox in an online rant about the breakup. The two remain on good terms.

Instagram model Chaney Jones, 24, has also been linked to West. The two dated for 5 months after West and Fox broke off their relationship. Facing backlash for dating Jones because she is a close look-alike to Kardashian, Jones and West got pretty close. So close that Jones got the rapper’s name tattooed on her left wrist where it displays “ye.” From courtside basketball games to shopping trips and vacations, the two spent so much time together. They became official over social media where they both gushed about one another on photos posted of them together. The two officially broke it off after West was seen with another woman at the movies. Neither Jones nor West has commented much on the split.  

Long before his most recent public relationships, West can be linked to multiple women in Hollywood including entrepreneur Amber Rose, 39, model Irina Shayk, 37, stylist Alexis Phifer, 46, and Pussycat Doll singer Melody Thornton, 38. However, West’s most high-profile relationship was with Rose between 2008 and 2010 before they split to be with other people. West went as far as rapping about the model in multiple songs on his album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. Rose commented on his lyrics saying, “Don’t get me wrong, I’ll hear songs and I’m like, ‘Oh, he said that about me? No one knows what he’s talking about but me and him. People can’t decipher. They’ll be like, that’s a cool song, and I’m like, that happened to us when we were together.”

West Signs New Deal With Adidas

Recently, West has been spotted both alone and with his wife Censori. He had a few run-ins with the paparazzi. But it was while he was on his way to support his children. So he wasn’t as sporadic as he tends to be when triggered by the media. Though controversies continue to arise for West, he has solidified a deal with Adidas after he was terminated in 2022 for antisemitic comments. His new deal will allow for the sales of $500 million in Yeezy products to continue. 

As of late, the impassioned rapper is only releasing music on his personal platform, Stem Player for $200 stating, “Today artists get just 12 [percent] of the money the industry makes. It’s time to free music from this oppressive system. It’s time to take control and build our own.” West’s last release was Donda 2 in 2022. Though you’ll only be able to listen on Stem Player, West stays adamant on his decision to polarize his platform. 

Brittany Renner Reflects On Deion Sanders Inviting Her To JSU: “Doesn’t Feel Good”

Her sexual exploits have been debated among social media users, and Brittany Renner hasn’t been intimidated by the criticism. She faced controversy over her relationship with PJ Washington while he was in college. The basketball star was reportedly 18 when he met the 24-year-old Renner; four years later, the pair welcomed a son. However, it was around the time of the pregnancy that things took a turn, and these days, Washington is engaged to someone else.

Renner has taken hits over the age gap but argued that men don’t receive the same pushback when they date younger. In December 2021, back when he was still coaching at Jackson State University, Deion Sanders raised eyebrows by inviting Renner to speak to his players. At the time, the football coach said the knowledge Renner possessed could help his players understand what was going on in the real world.

Degrading Or Empowering?

Renner was happy to oblige and visited the university for an intimate conversation. However, more recently, she spoke with The Shade Room about the moment, and she may be regretful. It was noted that Sanders’s invitation seemed to more like a warning for his players to watch out for women like Renner. She was asked if that was empowering or degrading for her.

“When I originally agreed to do it, I thought it was empowering,” Renner answered. “[Hindesight], looking now from where I’m sitting? It doesn’t really feel that good.” Elsewhere, Renner also addressed the narrative that she and Washington hate one another behind the scenes. “I don’t know why people even still think the way that they do about that situation.”

Nothing But Love From Brittany Renner

“I love my child’s father to death. I don’t want to be with him” she further stated. “And our son was planned. I thought that was my guy, I guess foolish of me for thinking someone who’s only six years younger than me. Let’s not even get into the age gap… I just genuinely thought that was my person who understood and saw me for me cause he never judged me. That’s how it appeared — that’s obviously not true.”
