As MTV gears up for the 2013 Video Music Awards this weekend, street posters in Brooklyn featuring lyrics of scheduled act Kanye West, with images of Trayvon Martin and George Zimmerman have appeared.
There is no denying that Kanye West is one of the most popular entertainers on the planet. However, his rise to the top has been filled with some zany moments and media displays that border on embarrassing.
Kanye West is one interesting character. Word is that Yeezy was offered the final judge position for the forthcoming season of American Idol. However, the “New Slaves” rapper passed on the gig because it was too “mainstream” and would ruin his reputation.
Kanye West is notoriously fickle when it comes to doing press. However, when your likely future mother-in-law, Kris Jenner, asks for a favor, even Yeezus falls in line. Yesterday (August 19), the Chicago rapper/producer taped an appearance on Kim Kardashian’s mother’s daytime talk show, Kris, which will air this Friday (August 23).
Nothing Was The Same is a phrase applicable to more than Drake‘s highly anticipated album. It also accurately describes the rapper’s relationship with Kanye West since the two squashed their beef at this year’s OVO Fest. Drizzy did Yeezy a favor by performing at Kylie Jenner’s (Kim Kardashian’s little sister) lavish sweet 16 extravaganza.
It was only a matter of time before photos surfaced of Kanye West and Kim Kardashian with their daughter North West. Paparazzi waiting in the wings near a doctor’s office in Los Angeles to catch the couple with their baby.
We’re reporting this strictly for archival purposes. Allegedly, Kanye West wants his newborn baby, North West, to make her debut to the world on the cover of Vogue magazine. Surprisingly (sarcasm), the fashion publication’s editor-in-chief, Anna Wintour, isn’t a fan of the idea.
Kanye West is pulling out all the stops for the safety of his new baby daughter, North West, and his girlfriend Kim Kardashian. Reportedly, Yeezy is shelling out over a million dollars on a pair of bulletproof vehicles to make sure that baby “Nori” and his baby mama are safe and sound while travelling.
Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak is a big deal, idolized by Apple fanboys everywhere. He has also never listened to a Kanye West record.
During a recent appearance of MTV RapFix Live, Ma$e said the only two artists he would ever consider signing with were Kanye West and Drake. While at OVO Fest, where the former Bad Boy rapper reunited with Diddy on stage, Drizzy spoke on the possibility of that happening.
Hip-Hop and fashion go hand in hand, especially in 2013. Like much of the new millennium, we’ve seen a number of MCs dabble in apparel and accessories. But rather than create brands of their own, many decided to partner with established clothing companies.
Kanye West’s appearance at the fourth annual OVO Fest was more than just another surprise in a night full of star-studded appearances. Fans knew it, and so did Drake.
