Kim Kardashian Unveils Son Saint West’s “Extensive” YouTube Contract

by

Social media gives fans around the world the opportunity to feel closer than ever to their favorite celebrities. While this certainly has the potential to be a positive thing, it can also go very wrong. For this reason, it’s no surprise that Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s children have some pretty strict guidelines to follow when it comes to their online presence.

Recently, for example, Kim revealed that she allowed her 8-year-old son Saint to create a YouTube channel. In order to do so, however, she had him sign a lengthy contract. “Saint signed a solid contract for this YouTube channel,” the SKIMS founder wrote on her Instagram Story this week. “He better not breach [winking emoji].”

Kim Kardashian Has Saint Agree Not To Share Personal Family Information

Per the contract, Saint is not allowed to share any personal family information, can’t film while his sister North is recording music, or post content without getting it approved by an adult first. This appears to be a pretty simple and healthy set of rules, and hopefully, Saint will be able to stick to it without any issues. Instagram users in the Hollywood Unlocked comments section agree that this was a good way to teach the child about protecting his and his family members’ privacy on the internet. While this is particularly pertinent in his case, fans note that it’s important for all kids who are growing up with access to social media.

“I love this!!!” one commenter says. “This is really cute,” another writes. What do you think of Kim Kardashian having Saint West sign a contract before launching his YouTube channel? Are you surprised or not? Do you think this is a good way to teach him about protecting his privacy online?

The Weeknd – the global superstar who first captivated audiences on YouTube more than a decade ago and boasts more than 35 million subscribers to his channel to date – will make a triumphant return to the platform on September 7th for a one-night-only livestream concert experience from the sold-out Estádio MorumBIS in São Paulo, Brazil. 

The visually stunning teaser – directed by YZA Voku – offers a compelling preview of a new song and features a series of AI-generated images by Google: Veo, Midjourney, Runway: Gen-3 and Luma: Dream Machine. 

A Rare Musical Experience

After a sold-out global tour spanning the past two years, The Weeknd has become renowned for his visually stunning performances and boundary-pushing artistry. With groundbreaking production, his upcoming São Paulo show promises to be one of his most electrifying concerts yet. Announced just weeks ago, this highly anticipated performance is expected to feature chart-topping hits and potentially offer a glimpse into what’s next for the artist.

Alongside the monumental show, The Weeknd will also donate 10% of net proceeds from all merchandise sales at the event and online to the Brazilian Soul Fund of BrazilFoundation. These funds will directly support communities in Brazil affected by natural disasters and economic hardships, with a focus on helping the most vulnerable families in southern Brazil recover and rebuild their lives after the devastating floods.

Abel ‘The Weeknd’ Tesfaye shared, “I’m so excited to announce that we’ll be live streaming my show from São Paulo, Brazil, so everyone around the world can be a part of this special night. I wish I could come to every city and town on earth, but moments like this give us the chance to connect in real time at least and share that energy together, no matter where you are.”

In recent weeks, The Weeknd has been teasing seemingly a couple things. One is more mysterious, but it appears to be a new album. The other thing, we know what it is for certain: a special concert in São Paulo, Brazil on September 7.

It turns out you won’t have to head to South America to catch the performance: It was announced today (August 21) that the São Paulo performance will be livestreamed via YouTube. The broadcast is set to start on the 7th at 5 p.m. ET (8 p.m. PT), via The Weeknd’s YouTube channel.

The Weeknd says of the news in a statement:

“I’m so excited to announce that we’ll be live streaming my show from São Paulo, Brazil, so everyone around the world can be a part of this special night. I wish I could come to every city and town on earth, but moments like this give us the chance to connect in real time at least and share that energy together, no matter where you are.”

A press release notes the “highly anticipated performance is expected to feature chart-topping hits and potentially offer a glimpse into what’s next for the artist.” So, it seems the big show might just shed some light on the more mysterious parts of The Weeknd’s recent activity.

Moreover, he is famous for his Francis character which was known for having temper tantrums over innocuous things. However, in recent years, Boogie has been through many controversies. From losing all of his money in crypto to dating women decades younger than him, it hasn’t been a fun ride.

Destiny alleges that Boogie was never officially diagnosed and that he did it for sympathy and even donations. Boogie took offense to this, and it subsequently led to a whole debate. Today, Drama Alert founder Keemstar took to Twitter to explain the entire situation.

Boogie2988 Under Fire

“To the best of my knowledge based on everything I know. Boogie went on steroids that could cause cancer in the blood years ago and was warned of the dangers. 2 years ago after he lost all his money in crypto,” Keemstar began. “He went to the doctor and had high red blood cells indicating he may have cancer blood. Before he got any confirmation he rushed to make a YouTube video announcing he had cancer. 2 years later he still doesn’t have confirmation he has cancer but he been telling everyone he does and used it for sympathy multiple times. Whether it was promoting his crypto scam or asking people to financially support him lying about the cancer could be considered fraud.”

Let us know what you think about all of this, in the comments section down below. Do you believe that Boogie2988 did, in fact, fake his cancer diagnosis?

But this time it was Childish Gambino and his GILGA outfit that helped Fox achieve his anime vision. “In 2023 we introduced Donald Glover to the idea and he was hype to help us build it and it’s been a blessing having him and the folks at GILGA share their platform and resources with us. As a gift to y’all we funded a lil short with our own bread so we can show you a piece of our universe instead of trying to tell you. Hope y’all enjoy it.

Elliott Wilson Makes It Crystal Clear He Never Snitched On Drake During Kendrick Lamar Battle

by

The beef between Kendrick Lamar and Drake that took place earlier this year captivated rap fans in a way no other story has in a long time. Fans and members of the rap media are very much still unpacking the fallout from it. One of the most fascinating back-and-forth moments of their conflict was when Kendrick seemed to imply there was a snitch in Drake’s camp. Since then there’s been tons of discussion on just who could have been sharing information. Rap journalist and current HipHopDX editor Elliott Wilson is now insisting he wasn’t involved in the leaks following speculation sparked from a prior interview.

Wilson told a story recently during a recent appearance on the Joe Budden Podcast where he revealed that Drake sent him a rat emoji during the beef. That got fans curious as to whether he was the one sharing info from Drizzy’s camp after all. But during a recent appearance on HipHopDX‘s The Bigger Picture he shut the rumors down. It began with the aftermath of Kendrick’s “6:16 In LA.” “There was a lot of industry rumors that Drake was gonna respond that night. It wasn’t some big secret,” Wilson began. “I hit him like, ‘Yo, you dropping a joint tonight?’ I’m just sniffing around. He’s like, ‘Yeah, something, lol.’ And I saw the things where he was kinda letting Akademiks know something’s coming, ‘Get it in your stream.’ Letting Kai know something’s coming, ‘Get it in your stream,” Wilson continued. Check out his full comments below.
