For years, Ye, the artist formerly known as Kanye West, has been entangled in a seemingly never ending feud with Drake. At one point, the pair appeared to put their differences aside. However, after Drake sampled Ye’s ex-wife Kim Kardashian on his track “Search & Rescue” the temporary truce was voided.
Yesterday (April 20), Ye dropped by The Download hosted by Justin Laboy to premiere his guest verse on “Like That.” On the song, Ye took aim at the deal Drake signed with Universal Music Group in 2022, rapping, “You caught a little bag for your masters, didn’t ya? / Lifetime deal, I feel bad for n****s.”
Continue to read the standout section of Ye’s verse, then listen to the snippet below.
“I done had everything that you able to got / I invented drill too, I ain’t gon’ lie, it was Chop / Ayy, another one, volume one /
Then it’s two and three, VULTURES on repeat / Still feel like Pablo, drug dealer chic / Pluto sent the drones, it hit like Metro beats / It’s a wrap for n****s / Where’s Lucian? Serve your master, n**** / You caught a little bag for your masters, didn’t ya? / Lifetime deal, I feel bad for n****s / Y’all so outta sight, outta mind / I can’t even think of a Drake line / Play J. Cole, get the p*ssy dry”
Kanye West and wife Bianca Censori apparently had a troubling run-in recently that now involves law enforcement, as West reportedly punched a man who got physical with Censori.
Citing “law enforcement sources,” TMZ reports the Los Angeles Police Department is investigating after being told West punched a man in the face on April 16, after the man had allegedly “pushed or grabbed” Censori. Police reportedly plan to reach out to West and speak to witnesses.
TMZ later reported that a representative for West told them, “‘Grabbed’ is grossly inadequate as a description of what happened. Bianca was physically assaulted. The assailant didn’t merely collide into her. He put his hands under her dress, directly on her body, he grabbed her waist, he spun her around, and then he blew her kisses. She was battered and sexually assaulted.”
West, meanwhile, is currently facing a lawsuit related to Donda Academy. The suit makes some odd and serious allegations, including that West “treated the Black staff considerably worse than white employees” and would “scream and berate Black employees, while never even as much raising his tone at the white staff.” He also reportedly claimed that “gay people are controlled by Bill Gates so that they don’t have children for population control.”
Ye is the subject of an investigation by the LAPD. According to TMZ, the Vultures creator allegedly punched a man in the face Tuesday night after that man reportedly grabbed Ye’s wife, Bianca Censori.
After the incident, Ye and Censori left the scene. The man did not require any treatment. Now, the investigation will lead to a conversation with Ye and eyewitnesses.
Ye’s team reached out to TMZ, stating the grabbing of Censori was “grossly inadequate,” suggesting she was “phyiscally assaulted.”
The statement also said, “The assailant didn’t merely collide into her. He put his hands under her dress, directly on her body, he grabbed her waist, he spun her around, and then he blew her kisses. She was battered and sexually assaulted.”
To be clear: As far as we can gather from publicly available information, Kanye West does not wear diapers. That hasn’t stopped Jack Antonoff from jokingly making that assertion about Ye, though. He did so in a Los Angeles Times interview from February, and he did so again yesterday (April 16) on Jimmy Kimmel Live!.
The discourse started when Kimmel rattled off a list of some of Antonoff’s collaborators, all of whom were women. He jokingly asked what Antonoff has against men, and then more seriously wondered if there’s something that makes him more inclined to work with female artists over male ones.
Antonoff attested that he works with a lot of men, too. He then went on to try to explain his perspective to Kimmel, and after a couple of unsuccessful attempts at getting Kimmel to understand, he eventually said:
“I think men… There’s two people that I think are are almost too over-sensitive to even function, and it’s men and members of the music industry. The amount of sensitivity… it’s sort of like watching Kanye. By the way — and Jimmy, you might like this because I know that you have your own relationship with the right and how you interact with them, and you’re much closer to how I see these things than other people. I don’t like going to people and, ‘You do this, you do this, blah blah blah,’ because that’s what they want, you know, this sort of type of over-sensitive man. So I just do more of this, like… like if I saw Kanye, I would run up to him and be like, ‘The diaper… your diaper is so full, we have to change your diaper. Your diaper needs to be changed, there’s a huge problem.’”
He then compared that mindset to Kimmel’s famously antagonistic approach to Donald Trump and his supporters, assessing that, like Kimmel, he prefers to “up the trolling” instead of being “overly offended.”
Antonoff’s band Bleachers also performed “Tiny Moves” on the show, by the way, so check that out below.
For a little while, Kanye West ran Donda Academy, a private school in California. It would seem that things at the educational institution have been… unconventional. At one point, school was apparently canceled for the year before that decision was reversed hours later. Later, a lawsuit claimed students were only served sushi. Now, Ye is facing another school-related lawsuit which makes even more wild claims.
The suit was filed by former employee Trevor Phillips in Los Angeles Superior Court on April 2. In it, Phillips claims (as NBC News notes) West told students he wanted to shave their heads and lock them in cages. Phillips also attests that West compared himself to Adolph Hitler and “appeared to simulate masturbation during a one-on-one meeting in a Southern California hotel room where the musician watched The Batman on mute.”
As Rolling Stone notes, the suit also claims West “treated the Black staff considerably worse than white employees” and would “scream and berate Black employees, while never even as much raising his tone at the white staff.” West also reportedly had issues with the LGBTQ+ community and claimed “gay people are controlled by Bill Gates so that they don’t have children for population control.”
The publication reports Phillips is “seeking at least $35,000 for what he labels as whistleblower retaliation, discrimination based on race, and a hostile workplace, among eight other causes of action.”
Ye formerly known as Kanye West and his wife Bianca Censori took the kids out for Easter this weekend. There was no surprise egg hunt but what may have come as a surprise is Censori was covered head to toe!
Out with all four of Ye and Kim Kardashian’s kids, the former architect under The Yeezy banner turned better half to the CEO popped out in a silver-ish catsuit instead of her usual choice which tends to be often revealing ensembles.
Page Six reported that the West family and stepmom enjoyed a night at the movies after dining atNobu Malibu, Sunday evening. T
Pics are below but get this, the head turning catsup was actually a Leohex one-piece look available on Amazon … for a mere $60 bucks! Sorry Balenciaga, she nailed it for peanuts.
Naturally, Ye was dripping in what became his uniform swag, and he wore dark baggy pants and a jacket.
Before the evening with dad and step-mom, the kids hit up their grandmother Kris Jenner’s “over-the-top Easter party with mom Kim Kardashian.”
As for Censori being more covered for the holiday, Page Six learned her fashion decisions are all her and she is not being manipulated by Ye, in any way shape or form as some have suggested. Either way, more power to her.
Kanye West and wife Bianca Censori are often in the news for one reason or another, usually for something having to do with showing too much skin in public. Ye also frequently raises eyebrows with things he says, but we don’t hear Censori speak all that often. So, people were surprised by her voice when an old video of her talking recently made the rounds online.
As TMZ notes, the video sees Censori, for the 2022 CFS Summit in Paris, discussing her work as an architectural designer for Yeezy. The clips runs for nearly two minutes, and in it, Censori speaks plainly about her job, but it’s not what she says that has generated interest, but how she says it: with an Australian accent, as she’s originally from Melbourne.
Some were surprised to hear Censori speak, like one X (formerly Twitter) user who said, “That’s the first clip of her actually speaking I think anyone has found. Thats not what I expected.” Others didn’t understand the big deal, like another user who wrote, “Publicly known she’s Australian < Public surprised she has Aussie accent.”
That’s the first clip of her actually speaking I think anyone has found. Thats not what I expected.
As OK! notes, another commenter said, “Oh, she sounds normal. The L.A. valley girl uptalk has gotten to her a bit, but aside from that she sounds normal.” Somebody else said she sounds like “a typical Melbourner.”
You may know Kanye West as a Grammy Award-winning rapper, chart-topping producer, and clothing designer, but that’s who he “used to be.” From this point forward and in perpetuity, he will hence be referred to as Ye. Well, technically, this isn’t entirely new information, as he legally made the switch back in August 2021.
However, he’s been lax in enforcing it professionally. But that changes today (March 23). In a letter shared by his team (dated February 26), the “Carnival” musician’s chief of staff, Milo Yiannopoulos, made it clear that Ye’s quite peeved that the public won’t adhere to the name change.
“He didn’t take the decision to change his name, potentially sacrificing some of the immense value captured by the brand ‘Kanye West,’ lightly,” he wrote. “The change was made fully, legally, and permanently. This is who he is now. His name is Ye.”
The strongly worded note did not stop there. Later in the document, it touched on America’s history involving chattel slavery. “He has on several occasions referred to it as his slave name,” he wrote. “Ye is a Black man in America who wants the right to full self-determination just like everyone else.”
