Consequence Blasts Pusha T For Abandoning Ye: “There Was No G.O.O.D Music President”

Pusha T said he resigned from his position as G.O.O.D Music’s president but Consequence said that the “Diet Coke” rapper hasn’t filled in that role for years.

Following Kanye’s wildly offensive press run in 2022, many of his associates began to distance themselves from him. Push denounced Ye’s anti-semitic comments before Def Jam announced that their deal with G.O.O.D Music expired. Then, Push said he resigned as president of Ye’s label. During the same interview, he confirmed he doesn’t have any ties to G.O.O.D Music.

Needless to say, Push’s decision left people shocked since it appeared Push remained by Ye’s side through the thick of his controversies. However, Consequence refuted these claims. During a recent interview on The Art Of Dialogue, he explained that he was “disgusted” by Pusha T’s public statements regarding Ye and his role at the label.

“When I see something like that, I’m conflicted. I’m disgusted because of a multitude of reasons. And they aren’t all directed at Pusha T,” he said.

From there, he explained the amount of work he put in alongside Ye to establish the label. Since the days at Roc-A-Fella, Kanye’s plotted away but Pusha T only entered the picture afterward. Consequence explained that he understood the outrage surrounding Ye’s comments. However, he asked, “we’re not going to stick together?” At the same time, he revealed that there may have been tensions between Ye and Psuh that no one has necessarily addressed.

“Pusha T told you all the street shit and now we doing this industry shit? Nah. Now, in fairness, does Pusha T have a right to distance himself from situations he don’t want to be in? Yeah. He a man. Do those two have grievances behind the scenes that are not being spoke about? Yes, they do. So part of this shit is kinda cap.”

That’s when Consequence stated that Pusha T hasn’t been the president of G.O.O.D Music for some time. He alleged that the root of the issue was that Ye prevented Push from performing at concert in Chicago. 

“The whole G.O.O.D. Music president shit? That’s cap,” he continued. “There was no G.O.O.D. Music president shit, n***a. That shit is cap. It ain’t been that shit for years. When n***a kickin’ some resignation shit, there ain’t no resignation shit. Just say you mad about the Donda 3 party in Chicago when he ain’t let you on stage. Say that.”

Consequence added that Pusha T is basically pushing G.O.O.D Music away and gunning for his Grammy at a time when Ye’s going through a crisis. However, he said that there’s a chance the two could repair their relationship in the future.

“They may communicate and find resolve to that situation,” he said. “But as it stands, I don’t fuck with that ‘cause I expect more out of Pusha T, honestly. This n***a base everything he stand for on the streets. I ain’t saying you gotta support it or not. If Pusha T wins a Grammy, Ye did half the album. So what? You’re not going to thank him? Or you gonna thank him and act like you ain’t say you resigned?”

He added, “At the end of the day, it was all good when they n***s were doing the Puff dance in the ‘Diet Coke’ video. You gotta stay like that or you don’t.”

Kanye West May Be Denied A Visa For Entry To Australia As He Plans To Visit The Family Of His Reported Wife

It looks like Australia isn’t playing around in response to Kanye West‘s antisemitic rants last year. According to the Associated Press, West may be banned from setting foot into Australia, as he may not meet its character requirements.

During a spot on Nine Network television, Australia’s Education Minister Jason Clare responded to reports that West may come to Australia to meet the family of his reported wife, Bianca Censori, in Melbourne. While Clare did not know if West had applied for a visa, he noted that people who had previously expressed antisemitic views have had their visa applications rejected.

“I expect that if he does apply, he would have to go through the same process and answer the same questions,” Clare said.

While it seems West may be able to enter Australia if he passes a character assessment, several Jewish leaders and activists are pushing for the rapper/producer’s entry to be barred.

“We had a sympathetic hearing,” said Peter Wertheim, co-chief executive officer of the Executive Council of Australian Jewry on Sky News. “We’ve made the case that this particular individual does not meet the character test and that it would be in the national interest not to grant him a visa and we set out our reasons in some detail.”

Opposition leader Peter Dutton added, “[West’s] antisemitic comments are disgraceful, his conduct and his behavior is appalling, and he’s not a person of good character.”

Kanye & His New Wife Reportedly Have Her Family’s Support

More news surrounding Ye and his new marriage are continuing to slowly come out. After being spotted out in public with Bianca Censori over the past week, TMZ reports that the new couple actually held a private wedding ceremony. However, they allegedly haven’t filed an official marriage license just yet.

In the latest update, Censori’s family is speaking out in support of her new marriage.

According to the Herald Sun, the 27-year-old’s sister, Angelina Censori and her family are supportive. “It’s very exciting news for both my sister and the family, but we choose to have some privacy for the time being,” she says.

Censori reportedly has a Bachelor’s degree from the University of Melbourne. Additionally, she has her Masters in Architecture from DP Toscano Architects in Collingwood. November of 2020 is allegedly when she moved from Australia to the United States, in order to work as the Head of Architecture at the 45-year-old’s brand, Yeezy.

However, one person who seemingly isn’t happy about the new couple is Kanye’s ex-wife, Kim Kardashian. According to various reports, she has a long-standing dislike towards her. At this point in time, however, it could all just be speculation, considering the 42-year-old is yet to speak out about it.

The reality TV star and the Chicago native were together for about eight years. The divorce was only finalized in November of last year. After this, the world was witness to the “Bound 2” rapper subsequently having a brief fling with Julia Fox. They were only together for about a month. The actress says she dumped the Chicago native due to his “unresolved issues.”

Furthermore, the Uncut Gems actress recently revealed that she may have gone on a date with Drake as well. “I flew on a private jet, cuddled on the jet, landed, got some Chanel bags. It was just great,” she tells Andy Cohen in a recent interview. Afterwards, she alludes to the fact that it very well could’ve been the “Jimmy Cooks” rapper.

Tony Yayo Reflects On Studio Sessions With Ye, Dr. Dre, 50 Cent & Eminem

Tony Yayo recently sat down for a sprawling interview with DJ Vlad. During the pair’s lengthy chat, the 44-year-old dishes on a number of pop culture and hip-hop topics.

In one of the clips, he talks about being in the studio with a number of high-profile names. This evidently includes fellow G-Unit rapper 50 Cent, but also Dr. Dre, Ye and Eminem.

During part of the sit-down, Yayo talks about the famous back-and-forth between 50 Cent and Kanye in 2007. On March September 11 that year, both artists dropped their respective third studio albums. 50’s Curtis and Kanye’s Graduation subsequently went head-to-head on the charts in a battle for the game’s most popular rapper at the time. Of course, the Chicago native came out on top, selling nearly one million copies in its first week.

“I’ve been in the studio with Kanye a couple of times. I remember him coming to Dre’s studio, ’cause everybody used to come to Dre’s studio. See, that’s why I’m so appreciative, ’cause those experiences for me, I would never forget. Forget the cars.. to be in the studio with Dr. Dre and Eminem, that was my dream,” reveals Yayo.

Another rapper he’s spent time with in the studio is Eminem. “Then we in the studio in Detroit.. it’s cold as a b*tch, we out there with Eminem. This [is] f*ckin’ Eminem, this dude just sold 16 million records. We used to go to L.A. with Dre and then we’d go mess with Em,” reflects the New York native.

Ultimately, it certainly seems as though Yayo is reflecting back on these experiences with gratitude. “That’s why I’m so humble, because my dreams came true, man. I might not have as much cars, chains and b*tches as any other rappers [but] it’s not about that. It’s about the experience, man,” says the 44-year-old.

Elsewhere in the interview, the G-Unit rapper shares his thoughts on Tory Lanez going to jail. “I mean, it could be rough. People are not used to the conditions. You nobody, you just a number. They gon’ make you feel like you’re not R. Kelly or Bill Cosby, they tryna make you feel like you just a number, and that’s what you are, just like everybody else,” he says on his own personal experiences behind bars.

What do you think about Yayo reminiscing on these legendary studio sessions? Comment below. Finally, makes sure to stay tuned to HNHH for all of the latest news and stories.

Ye’s Ex-Business Manager Is Seeking More Time To Find Him

Ye was certainly successful in having one of the most controversial years in 2022. As his name was all over headlines for all of the wrong reasons, he consistently kept digging himself deeper into trouble.

Just a few weeks ago, his former business manager, Thomas St. John claimed that the “Jesus Walks” rapper was missing. Even with these claims, the 45-year-old still managed to make headlines. Now, St. John is requesting more time to find him, despite a couple of recent public spottings.

According to new reports from RadarOnline, the businessman is asking the court for three months to get ahold of the Chicago native. He wants to find him in order to hit him with a lawsuit.

This is obviously confusing considering that just two days ago, the disgraced artist was seen out with a mystery woman. On Sunday (January 8), photos from TMZ began circulating online of Ye driving around Beverly Hills in his Maybach with her. Additionally, photos show him at a church service on Saturday (January 7).

St. John alleges that he disappeared following his frightening string of hurtful, anti-semitic comments. The rapper’s ex-associate is suing him for $4.5 million in damages. This reportedly comes after the father of four is responsible for ending their partnership abruptly. St. John claims that the Graduation rapper agreed to paying him $300,000 a month for his roles as business manager and Chief Marketing Officer of Donda.

Additionally, he says that they had an agreed-upon 18-month contract. However, St. John claims he only saw payments for three months. After this, Ye began refusing to pay the remaining balance.

Picture of Ye at Church Surfaces as Fans Are Concerned That He is ‘Missing’

Kanye West George Floyd

The streets have found Kanye West. After setting off alarms across social media about his whereabouts, Ye is somewhere that isn’t wild at all, church.

There was only one image of Ye from the chapel but it provides hope that the rapper is doing well.

Previous reports state Kanye West is ducking and dodging legal documents. The rapper and businessman, who now goes by Ye, is reportedly attempting to sidestep Thomas St. John and his legal team, who are looking to serve him documents.

AllHipHop notes St. John is suing Ye for breach of contract but has been unable to locate the rapper for weeks to serve him. St. John says Ye has stopped paying a monthly retainer fee after a meeting went left, or as he notes, “aggressive.”

St. John was operating as the Chief Financial Officer of DONDA and was to be paid $300,000 monthly.

“[St. John] needed a guarantee that [West] wouldn’t abruptly abandon the commercial relationship, in addition to the financial costs and hazards associated with committing to [West] as client. But Mr. St. John offered to settle for a contract lasting at least 18 months,” the lawsuit states.

Kanye West Rumored To Be In Ghana For Vic Mensa & Chance The Rapper’s Festival

Ye’s kept a lowkey profile throughout the holidays but some might say it’s for the better. After all, 2022 was an overall tumultuous year for Ye. He lost that his billionaire status, and further aligned with right-wing pundits and their values.

However, there’s a possibility Ye might make his first public appearance of the year in Ghana. According to Ebenezer Donkoh, Ye might be a surprise guest at Chance The Rapper and Vic Mensa’s Black Star Line Festival.

“I’m gathering info that Kanye West will be the surprise act at the Black Star Line Festival in Ghana this weekend,” Donkoh tweeted on Thursday.

For the most part, fans haven’t caught Kanye in the public eye after his string of media appearances to close out 2022. However, rumors floated around that the artist was gone missing. A report that his ex-business manager struggled to get in contact with the artist spurred the rumors.

At this point, there’s little information available surrounding Ye’s potential appearance. However, there’s been a few celebrity appearances in Ghana this week, including Dave Chappelle. The comedian served as the “special guest” at a talk at the University of Ghana East Legon. During the conversation, Chappelle, and Chance The Rapper discussed the possibility of opening a comedy club in the country.

Chance and Vic Mensa’s efforts in Ghana will bring some incredible talents to the stage. Erykah Badu, T-Pain, Sarkodie, Tobe Nwigwe, Asakaa Boys, and M.anifest will also be gracing the stage.

Ye Cancelled in 48 Hours and Loses Billionaire Status

As year-end honors are being handed out, Kanye West may have one that he wishes to sidestep. Ye has been named Antisemite of the Year by a watchdog group. StopAntisemitism named Ye “the most problematic person of 2022” regarding the group’s mission, corraling 10,000 votes from members. For the last half of 2022, Ye found himself in an endless war with the Jewish community, where he hinged his comments in anti-semitic rhetoric. Ye received the dishonor by announcing love for Hitler, launching attacks on the Jewish community, and also having disparaging remarks about George Floyd. What did that get him? Cut from Adidas, Balenciaga, and other deals resulting in the loss of billions.

Kanye West’s Ex-Associate Claims He Is Missing

Kanye West has been going through some very difficult times as of late. Many of these difficult times have been the direct cause of his own actions. For instance, many have sworn off associating with West following his recent brigade of Nazi propaganda.

From his association with Nick Fuentes to his most recent interview with Gavin McInnes and Alex Jones, Ye has gone off the deep end. His obsession with Jewish people and Naziism is simply disturbing. Additionally, his fans have no clue if he will be able to snap out of it.

Is Kanye Missing?

In a recent report, it was revealed by Ye’s former business manager Thomas St. John that Kanye is now missing. St. John has been trying to get in contact with Kanye for a while. This is because he wants to serve him a lawsuit. However, St. John claims that Ye has been impossible to find.

As St. John revealed, Kanye hired him to be the CFO of Donda. Overall, his salary was $300,000 per month. Subsequently, they had a contract for 18 months. However, Ye eventually stopped paying St. John, who now wants the $4.5 million that he is allegedly owed.

At this point, it could just be that Ye is aware of the impending lawsuit and wants to go somewhere he cannot be found. However, if that is not the case, then this latest news is fairly concerning. After all, Ye’s most recent actions are that of someone who isn’t in complete control of their faculties.

North West Sang ‘Snowman’ With Sia And Had The Time Of Her Life At The Annual Kardashian Holiday Party

North West’s TikTok has been a sore subject for her estranged parents, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, but it’s a treat for her 11.7 million followers. Last month, the nine-year-old made a dancing TikTok with Lizzo while backstage at her Los Angeles stop of The Special Tour. And this weekend, North took to the platform to share glimpses into the annual Kardashian holiday party, hosted at Kourtney Kardashian’s Calabasas home on Christmas Eve (as noted by People and TMZ).

North shared a “Boy’s A Liar” TikTok with Kim and Kylie Jenner, and another pose-filled one with her mom, but the 17-second snippet of North duetting with Sia especially stood out.

North and Sia stood together in a life-sized gift box and sang “Snowman,” a track from Sia’s 2017 Everyday Is Christmas album. A fan account also re-posted clips of Sia singing her ubiquitous 2014 hit “Chandelier.”

The famously private artist will have at least one more public appearance in 2022. Sia is slated to perform at Miley’s New Year’s Eve Party, Miley Cyrus’ second NBC special recorded live from Miami. Cyrus will co-host the event with Dolly Parton. Other musical guests will include Fletcher, Latto and Rae Sremmurd. Still, North West’s TikTok will probably spark more FOMO on New Year’s Eve.

Miley’s New Year’s Eve Party will air live on Saturday, December 31 on NBC from 10:30 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. ET. The special will also stream live on Peacock.
