Kanye West’s New YZY Pod Receives Erykah Badu Co-Sign

by

Kanye West is gearing up to drop a new album with Ty Dolla Sign, called Vultures. Overall, the album has been delayed numerous times at this point. However, there is a sense that it could be coming out as soon as January 12th. Unfortunately, there is no telling whether or not this actually goes down as promised. The album has been delayed a few times at this point, which is something we see a lot with Ye. Regardless, his remaining supporters stay hopeful.

Yesterday, Kanye West launched his brand-new sneaker, the YZY POD. Overall, this is a sock-like shoe that is meant to be a new staple in one’s wardrobe. The new shoe is $200 USD, and only comes in three sizes. Ultimately, it is one of those shoes that is going to leave people divided. However, there are actually a ton of people out there who are still very much into these. One person who likes this shoe is the legendary Erykah Badu, who commented a fire emoji on Kanye West’s post.

Kanye West Is Feeling The Love

Ye saw this and decided to repost the showing of love. Considering the things that Ye has gotten up to as of late, it is easy to see how not every artist is willing to give him the time of day. Sure, some have stuck by him, however, there are plenty of others who do not appreciate his antics. With that said, any sort of display of love is going to get him excited. Not to mention, these kinds of co-signs can end up going a long way when it comes to selling more shoes.

Only time will tell whether or not the YZY POD is a success. We imagine more colorways will be released in the following months, should this new offering do well. Let us know what you think of the shoe, in the comments section below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world. We will continue to keep you informed on your favorite artists and their upcoming releases.

Consequence Thinks Kanye West Owes Him An Apology In New Instagram Rant

Depending on who you ask, the answer to the question of when Kanye West fell out of public favor due to his controversies could be either last year or over a decade ago. However, one person that pretty consistently supported him is fellow rapper, longtime friend, and close associate Consequence. Despite all the antisemitism, unkept musical promises, and so many more antics, he stood by Ye’s side and defended him against many forces. But now, it seems like the Queens MC is done trying to defend someone who clearly doesn’t appreciate his backing. In fact, he thinks that the Chicago artist doesn’t even acknowledge it.

“I’m posting this clip of the YZY Pods because I was asked to by a staff member,” Consequence wrote on Instagram on Thursday (December 28), posting a clip of Kanye West’s new footwear. “But I have to get something off my chest regardless of the consequences… I have always lent my love, support and expertise to YE since ConMan Productions circa 2002. So @kanyewest NEVER again say in public or to others in private that you are ALONE. That’s the biggest SLAP IN THE FACE you could give to your TEAM.

Consequence Finally Calls Out Kanye West

“Guys like me, Don C, Monop, GL, Doe, IBN, Arrow and even Virgil (RIP) have given you big portions of our Adult lives so that we could all be ‘The Bulls,’” Consequence continued. “But we didn’t help you become Jordan so you could turn into Jerry Krause and start playing 3D Musical chairs wit da bros!!! You can be the one with the Money And even the Power But I will always need my RESPECT. If you can apologize to the Jewish community in Hebrew… Then maybe you should apologize to a few of your guys in English. Love you bro. But This Is 192.”

Meanwhile, this is a far cry from Con blasting other G.O.O.D. Music artists for not defending the Yeezy mogul. Maybe this was simply the final straw in this dynamic. Surely this won’t be the end of this chapter in their lives, and hopefully there’s a happier ending than where we’re headed right now. With that in mind, log back into HNHH for the latest news and updates on Consequence and Kanye West.

Kanye West Reveals First Post-Adidas Yeezy Sneaker, The YZY POD

Kanye West is currently in the midst of trying to finish up his new album, Vultures. However, it doesn’t seem like the album is actually ready. Although Ye had promised a new album for today, it has yet to be released. Instead, fans have been left waiting. Based on numerous clips from social media, it is clear that Ye is still working on finishing up some of the mixes. There was even a clip of him in FL Studio, which just goes to show that this thing is still very much a work in progress.

That said, Ye is now looking to get back into the sneaker game. Of course, his Adidas contract was terminated, and now, he can do as he wishes with Yeezy. Well, on Thursday night, he revealed the first Yeezy sneaker to be released post-Adidas. This shoe is called the YZY POD and is a foldable offering that goes up pretty high on your leg. Furthermore, it seems like this shoe looks more like a sock than an actual sneaker.

Kanye West And Yeezy Are Back

The artist has opened up presales for this shoe, which just goes to show that he means business. It remains to be seen when the shoe will be shipped out. Moreover, there is only one colorway of this offering, and it is unclear if more will be unveiled. Whether or not people resonate with this model remains to be seen. After all, it looks pretty niche and this is not the kind of shoe that a lot of fans typically go for, especially if you are a streetwear enthusiast.

If you are someone who is interested in the shoe, you can grab the presale here. However, this very simple design will run you about $200 USD, which is a whole lot of cash. Let us know what you think of this sneaker, in the comments section below. Will you be copping? Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world. We will be sure to keep you informed on all of your favorite artists and their upcoming releases.
