Throughout his career, Kanye West has worn many hats. A rapper, a producer, a designer, and a creative director. And now, it looks like he is continuing to branch out. Today (April 23), TMZ reported that Ye is apparently planning to venture into adult entertainment.

According to TMZ, an associate of Ye told the publication that Ye has been “kicking around” the idea of launching a porn studio for a while now. And as he and his crew are reportedly in advanced talks to get the studio up and running, it looks like this launch may happen sooner rather than later.

The publication noted that the rumored porn studio would be part of a broader adult entertainment division under the Yeezy company.

The representative also told the publication that Ye has supposedly been seeking help from Stormy Daniels’ ex-husband Mike Moz, who has over two decades in the porn industry as a producer, casting agent, and art director.

Over the years, Ye has shown to have an interesting relationship with pornography. In the past, he has claimed to be addicted to porn. He even co-creative directed the inaugural Pornhub awards back in 2018. But he has also sworn off porn, and claimed it was bad for his spirtit.

It looks like he’s had a change of heart. Lord, help us.

Donald Trump Trial: Man Sets Himself On Fire Outside Courthouse

Today, chaos unfolded outside of the Manhattan courthouse where Donald Trump’s trial is taking place. The former president has pleaded not guilty to 34 counts of falsifying business records in relation to the alleged $130K payment he’s accused of making to adult actress Stormy Daniels. Allegedly, the payment was made in exchange for Daniels’ silence on an alleged affair, which Trump denies.

Around the time that the jury was empaneled, and just before a lunch break, a man set himself on fire outside of the courthouse. The man was reportedly located in a designated protest area when the act took place, and several witnesses looked on in horror. At the time of writing, it remains unclear whether or not this was directly related to Trump or the trial. Law enforcement sources tell NBC News that the man appeared to be an alleged follower of unspecified conspiracy theories and that he may have also been struggling with “emotional issues.”

A 73-year-old witness named Dave from the Upper West Side saw the shocking incident unfold, and says he watched the man throw various pamphlets before picking them back up again. “I heard this clattering,” he recalled. “That caught our attention. Then he pulled out a can.” From there, the man reportedly poured something on himself and took out a lighter. “There I thought, this could be awful,” Dave also explained. “I’m old enough to remember the Vietnam War.” According to Dave, the man then lit himself on fire and was quickly engulfed in flames.

Another witness, freelance photojournalist Ed Quinn, says he heard someone shout that the man was getting ready to start the fire. “I see him dumping gasoline on his face, very deliberately,” he described. “He had [a] gray t-shirt on. It soaked his face. It soaked his shirt. Boom, he went up.” According to NBC, the man was sent off in an ambulance in critical condition. What do you think of the latest development in Trump’s trial?

Searches for Stormy Daniels on Pornhub are skyrocketing following the recent indictment of Donald Trump. According to TMZ, there’s been a 32,000% increase in the porn star’s typical daily average for searches as compared to her average daily searches since January. As of last Wednesday, there were about 34,500 searches for Daniels, whereas this week, there were 630,000 searches.

Daniels recently thanked her fans for their support on Twitter amid Trump’s ongoing legal battle. “Thank you to everyone for your support and love!” she wrote. “I have so many messages coming in that I can’t respond…also don’t want to spill my champagne #Teamstormy merch/autograph orders are pouring in, too! Thank you for that as well but allow a few extra days for shipment.”

Donald Trump Arriving In Court

NEW YORK, NY – April 4: Former President Donald Trump arrives for his court appearance in New York, NY on Tuesday, April 4, 2023.

Trump appeared in court in New York City on Tuesday, before flying back to Mar-a-Lago that same night. There, he delivered a speech condemning the case against him as well as the Manhattan district attorney. “They can’t beat us at the ballot box, so they try to beat us through the law,” Trump said. From there, he added: “The only crime that I’ve committed is to fearlessly defend our nation from those who seek to destroy it. The criminal is the district attorney because he illegally leaked massive amounts of grand jury information, for which he should be prosecuted — or at a minimum, he should resign.”

The case against Trump hinges on payments to Daniels that allegedly violate federal campaign finance laws. In total, Trump faces 34 felony counts of falsifying business records. Trump’s former fixer, Michael Cohen, has admitted to paying $130,000 in 2016 to silence Daniels’ story about an alleged affair with the former president.

Tupac’s Sister Called A Comparison To Donald Trump ‘Blasphemous’ Following His Attorney’s Comments

Donald Trump’s attorney Alina Habba apparently wanted her client to change his inner thug life (a motto of the late raper Tupac Shakur), but it didn’t quite work out in his favor.

Strangely, during Habba’s appearance on The Benny Show podcast, she likened the former president to hip-hop titans Tupac and Biggie Smalls, seemingly because of his recent indictment and subsequent arrest. “Donald Trump is Tupac. Donald Trump’s Biggie Smalls, he’s better than Tupac. I’m east coast, so I love Biggie,” Habba said.

Although both rap pioneers did know and have been photographed with Trump, Tupac’s sister Set Shakur isn’t here for the comparisons. In a statement shared with TMZ, Shakur flat out called Habba’s remarks “blasphemous.”

“My brother was measured by his integrity, his principles, and personal and collective responsibility,” said Shakur.

While the late rapper was found guilty of sexual assault in 1995, Shakur emphasized the difference between Trump and her brother is that “[Tupac] took accountability during his 1994 sexual abuse trial,” whereas, within Trump’s recent indictment, it is reported that in 2016 Trump tried to pay his accuser off with hush money.

Shakur later added that her brother’s time in prison wasn’t what made him popular. Instead, it was the fact that people “were able to measure him by his words and actions that aligned.”

Back in 1992, Tupac called out Trump for his greedy ways during an interview with MTV, saying, “If you want to be successful, if you want to be like Trump, gimme gimme gimme, push push push push. Step, step, step, crush, crush, crush. That’s how it all is, and it’s like… nobody ever stops.”

Even from the grave, the rapper was able to hit ’em up.

Trump Drops ‘Not Guilty’ T-Shirt on Campaign Website During Arraignment

Trump Raises Over $7 Million for His Campaign Since Being Indicted

A new t-shirt dropped on former President Donald Trump’s website while he sat in a Manhattan courthouse pleading not guilty to 34 felony counts for falsification of business records in connection with $150,000 hush money payment to former adult film star Stormy Daniels.

An email sent out by the Trump campaign had President Trump in a fake mugshot placed on a t-shirt. The copy reads”

“‘NOT GUILTY,’ Do you stand with President Trump, Friend? Please make a contribution of $47 or more to WIN in 2024 – and we’ll send you your very own ‘NOT GUILTY’ T-Shirt for FREE.”

The idea that an indictment may make Donald Trump more popular could be accurate. With arraignment set for today (Apr. 4), the Trump campaign is boasting a record number of donations.

According to the New York Daily News, Trump’s campaign has secured $7 million since the indictment.

Tupac’s Sister Blasts Donald Trump’s Comparisons as ‘Blasphemous’

Tupac’s sister, Set Shakur, is not having any comparisons between her late brother and former president Donald Trump. As Trump is set to be arraigned, he has often been compared to Tupac, the most recent being by Trump’s attorney Alina Habba, who also threw Biggie’s name in the mix as well.

Appearing on TMZ, Shakur stated the comparison was “blasphemous.”

“My brother was measured by his integrity, his principles and personal and collective responsibility,” Shakur said.

Speaking with Benny Johnson on The Benny Show, Trump’s attorney Alina Habba agreed with the show’s host that the forthcoming charges would raise the notoriety of the former President.

Habba would respond to Johnson stating, “Donald Trump is Tupac. Donald Trump is Biggie Smalls.” Habba would state she’s from the east coast, showing Biggie bias and stating Trump would be bigger than Tupac.

“Donald Trump is his own brand, he is everything,” Habba said. “This is just going to boost him we have seen it in the polls. This is not a question, this is a fact.”

Habba isn’t the first person to make the comparison. Chris Rock was on hand as Adam Sandler received the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor in D.C. Never one to miss a moment for political discourse, Rock threw a Trump joke while honoring his friend Sandler.

“Are you guys really gonna arrest Trump?” Rock stated. “Do you know this is only going to make him more popular? It’s like arresting Tupac. He’s just gonna sell more records. Are you stupid?”

The idea that an indictment may make Donald Trump more popular could be accurate. With arraignment set for today (Apr. 4), the Trump campaign is boasting a record number of donations.

According to the New York Daily News, Trump’s campaign has secured $7 million since the indictment.

One to predict the popularity of Trump rising was Chris Rock, who recently inserted the forthcoming arraignment into a bit.

“Are you guys really gonna arrest Trump?” Rock stated. “Do you know this is only going to make him more popular? It’s like arresting Tupac. He’s just gonna sell more records. Are you stupid?”

Former President Donald Trump is once again calling for his base of supporters to ride for him. Trump spoke to his supporters, writing the “leading Republican candidate and former president of the United States will be arrested on Tuesday of next week.”

The alarming portion of his message is his call to his supporters to “Protest, take our nation back.” The words are similar to those used ahead of the Insurrection at the Nation’s capitol. New York City is now preparing for any clashes that could happen in the city, if Trump is indeed arrested.

According to CNN, Trump believes his base being charged up would help him politically. He also sees a positive in the indictment.

During the ceremony, Rock added more funny context to the potential indictment. “[Trump] f—ing a porn star and paid off someone so his wife couldn’t find out. That’s romantic,” Rock said.

According to Fox News, Rock made a comparison to everyday life.

“We’ve all been cheated on. Don’t you wish that the person that cheated on you paid off somebody so you wouldn’t find out?”

Donald Trump Reportedly Teases 2024 Presidential Run at CPAC

Facing his arraignment, Donald Trump beefed up his defense team. Added to his squad is Todd Blanche, most recently of Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft. He also represented Rudy Giuliani, Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort and Igor Fruman.

Blanche will join attorneys Joe Tacopina and Susan Necheles in defending Trump.

Former Trumpy attorney, Tim Palatore, highlighted to CNN the appointment could be a conflict of interest.

“I know that Joe has certain potential conflict issues, given his prior contacts, with Stormy Daniels. So, who’s the right attorney, to take it to trial, is something that the client will have to decide. Ultimately, the decision of who to stand next to, before a jury, is a decision that only the client can make,” Parlatore said.

Be prepared for Donald Trump to be a name that you hear often this week. With an arraignment scheduled for today (Apr. 4), Trump’s name will ring off through social media and the news every day. Speaking with Benny Johnson on The Benny Show, Trump’s attorney Alina Habba agreed with the show’s host that the forthcoming charges would raise the notoriety of the former President.

Habba would respond to Johnson stating, “Donald Trump is Tupac. Donald Trump is Biggie Smalls.” Habba would state she’s from the east coast, showing Biggie bias and stating Trump would be bigger than Tupac.

Trump Attorney Alina Habba Compares Former President to Hip-Hop Icons: 'Donald Trump is Tupac. Donald Trump is Biggie Smalls'

Be prepared for Donald Trump to be a name that you hear often this week. With an arraignment scheduled for Tuesday, Trump’s name will ring off through social media and the news every day. Speaking with Benny Johnson on The Benny Show, Trump’s attorney Alina Habba agreed with the show’s host that the forthcoming charges would raise the notoriety of the former President.

Habba would respond to Johnson stating, “Donald Trump is Tupac. Donald Trump is Biggie Smalls.” Habba would state she’s from the east coast, showing Biggie bias and stating Trump would be bigger than Tupac.

“Are you guys really gonna arrest Trump?” Rock stated. “Do you know this is only going to make him more popular? It’s like arresting Tupac. He’s just gonna sell more records. Are you stupid?”

And to be honest, Rock may be right because that’s the thinking of Donald Trump. A couple of weekends back, Trump was once again calling for his base of supporters to ride for him after revealing he would be arrested, he didn’t mention why, but it is believed to be for paying hush money to adult star Stormy Daniels.

Trump spoke to his supporters, writing the “leading Republican candidate and former president of the United States will be arrested on Tuesday of next week.”

The alarming portion of his message is his call to his supporters to “Protest, take our nation back.” The words are similar to those used ahead of the Insurrection at the Nation’s capitol. New York City is now preparing for any clashes that could happen in the city, if Trump is indeed arrested.

According to CNN, Trump believes his base being charged up would help him politically. He also sees a positive in the indictment.

A spokesperson for Trump revealed that the former president didn’t receive any indication that he would be arrested. Instead, he was “rightfully highlighting his innocence.”

During the ceremony, Rock added more funny context to the potential indictment. “[Trump] f—ing a porn star and paid off someone so his wife couldn’t find out. That’s romantic,” Rock said.

According to Fox News, Rock made a comparison to everyday life.

“We’ve all been cheated on. Don’t you wish that the person that cheated on you paid off somebody so you wouldn’t find out?”

Donald Trump Indicted By Grand Jury Over Stormy Daniels Hush Money

Earlier this month, Donald Trump suggested on Truth Social that an arrest could be in his near future. While the former President got the date wrong, word of him being taken into custody was on point, according to TMZ. On Thursday (March 30), it was officially announced that a Manhattan grand jury has voted to indict the embattled politician. The charges are specifically regarding his alleged involvement in giving adult actress Stormy Daniels hush money to stay quiet about their intimate past.

An exact timetable of events remains unknown for now. However, it has been said that Trump will turn himself into authorities in the near future. The jury involved in the investigation has been listening to witness testimony since January. Among those who shared their experience of events include The Apprentice creator’s former attorney/fixer, Michael Cohen. He previously served prison time for his involvement in the Daniels scandal. It’s worth noting that the New York native himself didn’t appear before the group.

Donald Trump Indicted in New York City

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has yet to announce the charges, though they’ll likely come within the next few days. At this time, Trump is believed to be at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida but will fly to the Big Apple to cooperate. In his initial post warning followers of a potential impending arrest, the 76-year-old questionably called for other Republicans to protest, even threatening “death and destruction” coming if he were to be indicted. As a result, the city has been placed on high alert in preparation for any wild antics.

With this indictment, Donald Trump is officially the first U.S. President to receive criminal charges. He’s been accused of brokering a $130,000 payment to Daniels during his first political campaign, in 2016, as she attempted to publicly expose their 2006 affair. Cohen claims he was at the centre of the deal, and was responsible for cutting the check to the pornstar before later being reimbursed by the embattled star’s organization. DT has consistently denied these allegations, calling both witnesses liars. Where do you think the famous blonde’s fate lies after his arrest?
