Kanye West Can’t Be Canceled, According To The Game, Angela Yee & Bill Maher

February 4, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kanye West’s public controversies and points of “cancelation” could be an entire multi-season television show. Moreover, he has too much content and work associated with him to sum anything up concisely, but it’s fair to say that this is a very pressing question of public interest thanks to his recent antisemitism and album teases. TMZ is actually releasing a documentary, airing on FOX on Monday, February 5, on this aspect of Ye. Of course, he doesn’t exactly like the outlet, but they nonetheless reached out to other celebs to get their take on whether he’s “cancelable,” despite his probable issues with that. At the end of the day, it’s just more attention, so maybe it’s no big deal for the Chicago provocateur.

First up is Kanye West’s “Eazy” collaborator The Game, who told TMZ that he can’t be canceled. Furthermore, he reasoned that Kanye’s mentality is what prevents this scrutiny from ruining his career and preventing its progression. The California rapper argued that he’s not afraid of “cancel culture,” and that said fearlessness protects pretty much whatever sewage he spouts. While that’s a scary thought, it’s more of an ever-frightening reality given just how water folks let under the bridge.

Angela Yee, The Game & Bill Maher Argue For Kanye West’s Shield From Cancelation: Watch

Next, Bill Maher thinks that Kanye West is simply a lucky man who dodges the Grim Reaper of public opinion at every turn. The commentator and TV personality pointed out how many other entertainers faced much worse consequences for way less bigoted and combative incidents. Meanwhile, folks are still very excited for his (presumably) upcoming album series, Vultures. Others, Maher argues, lost their careers entirely for undue reasons when compared to the 46-year-old’s limitless free passes.

Finally in this segment, Angela Yee’s belief is that he has so many line-crossing moments that they lost meaning. Only a verifiable and heavy crime, the radio host thinks, would truly stop the Yeezy mogul in his track. Not even his public and toxic fallout with his equally famous ex-wife could turn the whole industry against him. Whether that’s warranted or not is for you to have an opinion on.

G Herbo Reveals New Mixtape “Best Rapper Alive” On The Way

February 4, 2024 by newhiphopnews

G Herbo has revealed to TMZ that he has a new mixtape on the way. “I got new music comin’, man. New mixtape. It’s called Best Rapper Alive. I gave it to y’all first, TMZ,” Herbo told the outlet. Herbo didn’t reveal much else about the project and its release date also remains a mystery.

However, the project appears to be a bounce back for the rapper after the legal mess he found himself in to start the year. Herbo was sentenced to three years probation on identity theft and fraud charges. This was seen as a massive win for Herbo’s team, especially as prosecutors had wanted him to spend at least a year behind bars. Are you excited about new music from Herbo? Let us know in the comments.

Ari Fletcher Rejects Notion That G Herbo “Made Her”

However, one person who may take issue with Herbo calling himself the best rapper alive is his ex, Ari Fletcher. Last year, Fletcher disputed the idea that her ex, G Herbo, “made her”. In a recent lengthy interview, Fletcher argued that her success was self-made and it didn’t matter who her ex was. The host agreed, arguing “They also say this about their exes, but why aren’t their other exes just as successful?” Furthermore, Fletcher argued that Herbo held her back. “If I had stayed…dead a—, I would not be the person I am today,” Fletcher said.

However, reactions were split online. “What does she do if he didn’t make her? She had a baby by a Chicago rapper,” one person argued. “Honestly the reason she gets this statement so much displays in this interview her arrogance she confuses with confidence. I left viewing this still asking what does she do again?” another concurred. Despite this, not everyone was against Fletcher. “And honestly Ari helped Herb become more successful. The way she use to promote his music NONSTOP and hype him is why I use to listen to his music. Check his album sales when he was with her vs after. IJS,” one supporter noted.

Kanye West & Kim Kardashian’s Co-Parenting Dynamic Dissected By Professionals

February 3, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It’s no secret that Kanye West’s antics have put him at odds with Kim Kardashian in the past. Navigating the fallout of the Chicago MC’s antisemitic and otherwise unsavory remarks certainly hasn’t been easy for Kim, as seen in her family’s reality series The Kardashians. The former couple shares four children together regardless, and have been forced to find some way to make things work.

In a new installment of TMZ Investigates, which airs on February 5, experts share their thoughts on KimYe’s co-parenting dynamic. One of them, a Professor of Psychology at the University of Michigan Dr. Kevin Cokley, suggests that Kim should make it clear to the kids that they can love their father without agreeing with everything he says. He thinks that having a conversation with them to explain that some of Ye’s comments are unacceptable is crucial.

Expert Claims Kim Should Have A Talk With Her Kids

Another expert to weigh in, psychiatrist Dr. Kyle Smith, argues that Kim simply can’t protect her children from everything, despite her inevitable desire to do so. He also notes that since Ye’s their father, unless he’s doing something unimaginable like locking them up in a “bunker,” there’s not much she can do to keep him away from the children. Smith claims that when having kids with someone like Ye, chaos unfortunately just comes with the territory.

On the bright side, Kim and Kanye at least appear to be on speaking terms these days, though from what the public’s seen their interactions have been less than warm. They were just spotted attending their son’s basketball game together last week, and even exchanged a few words, despite sitting several seats apart. They also recently took their daughter North to Nobu with her friends, possibly to discuss her feature on her father’s upcoming album Vultures. What do you think of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s parenting skills? What about the experts’ takes on their co-parenting? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Reporter Who Got Her Phone Snatched by Kanye West: ‘He Has Such Disrespect for Women’

February 1, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Melanie Miller, the woman who got her phone snatched by Kanye West, is speaking out. Appearing on the TMZ Podcast, Miller gave her account of the incident.

“I was alarmed. I was like, ‘Whoa, I don’t see that one coming.’ I’ve interviewed him before and he never talks to me, so I’m thinking ‘I’ll just see if he’ll talk to me.’ It’s been very well talked about that…he won’t let Bianca have an Instagram because he’s trying to protect her. So I’m saying this is an easy opportunity for you to be like, ‘Of course I’m not controlling her.’ That’s all that I had going into it.”

She added, “If she’s posting those photos of her and her essentially naked body on her own Instagram because she wants to, because she wants to put that out there—fine. But he’s doing it. He has such disrespect for women.”

While strolling in L.A., Ye was asked if Bianca Censori had “free will,” which led to the rapper snatching an iPhone.

“People want to know if Bianca has her free will. Some people say you’re controlling her,” the TMZ reporter said.

Kanye then grabbed her phone and addressed, “That dumb ass shit,” he was asked.

He said, “You think cause you a white woman that you can walk up on me like that and ask me some dumb ass shit like that? Ask me about my wife?”

February 1, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kanye West is being celebrated for his snatch of a paparazzi’s phone, but not by Charlamagne Tha God. During a recent morning on The Breakfast Club, Charla stated it was a sucka move.

“Kanye is a sucka,” Charlamagne said. “When that man was yelling at him and his wife last week, he had nothing to say. He skedaddled.”

Charlamagne was speaking about the presumably homeless man that birated Ye as he attempted to leave the scene.

In case you missed it, while strolling in L.A., Ye was asked if Bianca Censori had “free will,” which led to the rapper snatching an iPhone.

“People want to know if Bianca has her free will. Some people say you’re controlling her,” the TMZ reporter said.

Kanye then grabbed her phone and addressed, “That dumb ass shit,” he was asked.

He said, “You think cause you a white woman that you can walk up on me like that and ask me some dumb ass shit like that? Ask me about my wife?”

Fans Realize Kanye West Snatched Phone Of TMZ Reporter Who Ran With ASAP Rocky

January 30, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Fans on social media have realized that Kanye West snatched the cellphone of the TMZ reporter who went on a jog with ASAP Rocky, last year. When the publication initially shared video from the incident, it was from the reporter’s camera, but as more clips of the rapper’s tirade have circulated on social media, it’s clear they’re the same viral photographer.

West grabbed the camera person’s phone when they asked about reports of him “controlling” Bianca Censori. “Don’t come after me with your dumbass sh*t,” West can be heard saying. “I’m a person bro. You’re recording. Don’t come ask me that dumbass sh*t. I’m a person.” He continued: “You wasn’t asking me sh*t when I couldn’t see my kids and now only have visitation and don’t have rights to where they go to school? You got questions for that, or are you part of the system?” When the photographer asks for their phone back, West initially refuses but goes on to offer them a job paying double what they make at TMZ.

Kanye West Snatches Reporter’s Phone When Asked About His Wife’s Free Will: ‘Don’t Come Asking Me That Dumb Sh*t’

January 30, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kanye West is tired of the paparazzi games. While strolling in L.A., Ye was asked if Bianca Censori had “free will,” which led to the rapper snatching an iPhone.

“People want to know if Bianca has her free will. Some people say you’re controlling her,” the TMZ reporter said.

Kanye then grabbed her phone and addressed, “That dumb ass shit,” he was asked.

He said, “You think cause you a white woman that you can walk up on me like that and ask me some dumb ass shit like that? Ask me about my wife?”

You can see it below.

While Kanye West allegedly prohibits his 29-year-old wife Bianca Censori from using social media, he himself earns colossal sums from it. We became interested in how much the singer earns for his tracks on music platforms per stream per month. By analyzing the number of listens on the popular music platform Spotify, it was revealed that in the last month there were 64,423,853 listens. The comparison team at CasinospotDK estimates that the old tracks still continue to earn, for example, he has already earned $257,695.41 on Spotify. Interestingly, on YouTube Music, the most popular track became “I Love It” because it is the only one that managed to gather 713,000,000 listens, which monetizes to $1,247,750.00.

Kanye West Snatches TMZ Photographer’s Phone Following Question About “Controlling” Bianca Censori

January 29, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kanye West grabbed a TMZ photographer’s phone out of their hands after being asked about his wife, Bianca Censori. The camera person asked Ye about rumors he’s “controlling” her and has banned her from freely using her social media pages. West was heading to Hollywood Blvd. for Charlie Wilson’s Walk of Fame ceremony on Monday when the incident occurred.

In video of the incident, West smacks the camera away as soon as the reporter brings up Censori. “Don’t come after me with your dumbass sh*t,” West can be heard saying. “I’m a person bro. You’re recording. Don’t come ask me that dumbass sh*t. I’m a person.” When the photographer asks for their phone back, West initially refuses but goes on to offer them a job paying double what they make at TMZ.

As for the reports about Ye “controlling” his wife, an insider told Page Six: “Bianca has always had social media and she was active on it — until she married Kanye. He doesn’t want her to have it because he thinks that it will hurt her if she had to read the nasty things that people say. He convinced her that, since she is a star now, she has to remain a mystery and it is creepy to those who know her as it feels like another form of control.” Ye had been repeatedly posting photos of Censori wearing little to no clothes on his Instagram. Check out the video of his altercation with the TMZ photographer below.

Kanye West Goes At TMZ Photographer

Monday isn’t the first time West and Censori have been involved in an incident with the media as of late. Earlier this month, TMZ published a video in which the two were accosted by a stranger in Los Angeles. The man approached them and repeatedly shouted “You ain’t sh*t, boy!!!” and also called out Playboi Carti. Be on the lookout for further updates on Kanye West on HotNewHipHop.

Teyana Taylor Slams “TMZ” For “Misleading” Divorce Reports

January 27, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Since announcing her split from Iman Shumpert in September of last year, Teyana Taylor has made various headlines for the breakup. In November, her previously secret divorce filing started to gain traction online, and featured various shocking accusations against her ex. She argued that he displayed traits of a narcissist, treated her cruelly, was jealous of her career, and more.

Things only ramped up from there. A subsequent filing showed Taylor accusing him of being intoxicated while caring for their two small children. Earlier this week, the pattern continued, with TMZ reporting that he had the utilities in their home shut off. According to the outlet, Taylor woke up one day to find that the WiFi and cable had been cut off, and just a day later, the water. The outlet also reported that she hasn’t been receiving any financial support from Shumpert when it comes to their kids, and is asking a judge to demand child support.

According to Taylor, however, the report was nothing short of “misleading.” She took to her Instagram Story to call TMZ out recently, insisting they report the whole truth instead of only parts of it. “Yo @tmz you serious????” her message begins. “Y’all really be taking it too far with these d*mn misleading headlines and I’m tired of it! Every time I turn around it’s either half leaked and made up stories, or words being twisted up for clickbait!!!!”

She continued, “SHOW IT ALL & COME CORRECT!!! Stop taking bits and pieces and putting 10’s on 2’s!” Moving forward, she asks that the outlet respect her and her family’s privacy, and overall, “mind [their] damn business.” What do you think of Teyana Taylor calling out TMZ for their “misleading” reports on her divorce from Iman Shumpert?

Kayne West And Kim Kardashian Have Another Tense Encounter At Saint West Basketball Game

January 27, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It appears that there is more tension in the co-parenting agreement between Kanye West and Kim Kardashian. The pair were seen avoiding one another as they jointly attended a basketball event involving their son, Saint. The pair arrived separately at the LA-based event and sat separately from one another after Kim appeared to take umbrage with some comments from Kanye. The two went their separate ways after the event. Kanye’s wife Bianca Censori, who some have described as a “radicalized Kim Kardashian”, was not present.

However, this is the second time that this happened in the last few days. At another of Saint’s basketball games, the pair sat separately while attending the game. The only connection between them was their daughter Chicago, who spent a few minutes speaking with her father before returning to watch the game with her mother. It’s unclear if this is simply the nature of Kim and Kanye’s relationship now, or if new issues that haven’t been made public have arisen.

Kanye West’s NSFW Photos Of Bianca Censori Continue To Confuse And Concern Fans

However, perhaps Kanye’s recent online behavior is the cause for his ex-wife’s chilly reception. Fans have continued to express their concern and confusion over Kanye West and his continued posting of Bianca Censori. The images posted last week show Censori in a skimpy, back-laced outfit and a gimp mask in the kitchen. West captioned the image “cream of wheat”. He went on to post several other images of Censori in the same outfit around a sparsely furnished apartment.

However, the bizarre posts, which have been the only thing West has posted since he rejoined Instagram last month, have continued to ire the of fans. “Stop humiliating this girl, please. Be better,” one wrote. “Stop this bullshit and drop the album man,” added another. “I think Bianca is an experiment at this point,” theorized a third. It’s not the first time that West’s behavior concerning Censori has alarmed fans. People have likened Censori to a “radicalized” Kim Kardashian. Furthermore, people have noted that West has tried to model Censori’s appearance to match Kardashian’s.

We can’t post the images of Kim and Kanye directly. However, they can be viewed on TMZ’s website at the via link below.
