During his Saint Pablo tour stop in Inglewood, California, on Tuesday, Kanye West took the time to meet a very special audience member: Alton Sterling’s oldest son.
According to a Twitter post by attorney Justin Bamberg, Cameron Sterling was at the concert celebrating his 16th birthday. Watching the rapper perform in person is probably one of the most memorable experiences for a Kanye stan. But getting to meet him and his wife, Kim Kardashian? That’s a whole other level of emotions.
Forbes recently released their 2016 World’s Highest Paid Women in Music, with Taylor Swift earning more than all superstars in the category.
Lil Wayne’s Tuesday night interview on Nightline found the rapper sharing controversial thoughts on the Black Lives Matter movement and much more.
When asked about Black Lives Matter, Wayne appeared confused at first. “What is it? What do you mean?” he asked. Once informed, he said that the fact that he is, in his own words, “a young, black, rich motherfucker,” meant that he didn’t have to be connected to the movement. “I don’t feel connected to a damn thing,” he said.
we reported last week, Kanye West was credited as a co-writer on Drake’s Kid Cudi-slamming record, “Two Birds, One Stone.” Kid Cudi and his manager have responded to the initial attack, and Drake even took to social media to share a few thoughts about the entire beef. Now, we’re gaining some insight into Kanye West’s role in the musical side of the war of words. Specifically, Drake’s go-to producer and close collaborator Noah “40? Shebib links up exclusively with Genius to directly address Kanye’s “co-writer” role on Drake’s diss-track. “Me and Kanye produced the track. I made it from some drums he had given me. Not quite the elaborate story the world is looking for,” explains the OVO architect. While Shebib didn’t delve into the other sides of the conflict between Drake and Kid Cudi, his brief statement on Kanye’s work as a co-producer should quiet any rumors regarding the GOOD Music artist’s intentions and his possible “part” in the beef.
Days before ASAP Mob released its highly anticipated album, Cozy Tapes Vol. 1, ASAP Rocky sat down with Genius to discuss how the project came together, and what it was like to make ASAP Yams’ vision a reality.
Rocky talks about the early stages of the record and how Yams, more than anything, wanted to blend the crew’s strong personalities and styles to create something larger, yet cohesive. Rocky said he wanted to preserve that original plan as a way to honor Yams’ legacy, so he made sure to reference Yams’ old notes during the recording process.
A major curve ball was thrown at the simmering feud between Drake and Kid Cudi after it was revealed that the Drizzy’s latest song “Two Birds, One Stone,” in which he takes a shot at Cudder, was co-written and produced by none other than Kanye West.
Just one day after going hard after Lil Yachty through Instagram and on Twitter Saturday afternoon, Soulja Boy has decided to squash the beef on his own.
In a new video post on IG that has since been deleted, Soulja explains why people should stop trying him, writing in the caption, “Beef over I’m back to getting money leave me alone.”
“I feel everything was just exaggerated man. I feel like ni**as keep trying me. I’ m not no bitch man. Lil Yachty texting me telling me to take a picture down of India Love. I been with the girl for years. I ain’t never even heard of this ni**a, she ain’t even met this ni**a. So I got mad. Then this ni**a Sizzle started dissing me. For what? I don’t even know you bro … but right now, I got no beef with nobody,” he said.
He continued, “Everybody that’s just beefing with me—Lil Yachty, all y’all ni**as, just squash the shit bro. After tomorrow, if I hear anything else, we taking it to the streets. So just squash that shit. The Lil Yachty beef over. And y’all leave me the fuck alone. I’m finna count these millions.”
This comes as a surprise since Soulja was teasing a diss track aimed at Yachty called “Fuck Ni**a.” He even shared various artworks for the song.
Following the long-awaited release of DC4 last night, a new Taxstone interview with Meek Mill has now surfaced. Some interesting topics were discussed during the interview, including that night Meek Mill heard Drake’s “Back to Back” diss record for the first time:
I ain’t think it was no shit that people was gonna be like, ‘you got killed.’ I thought it was hot. Like when we shoot at n*ggas, you gotta shoot a n*gga through the heart. When you wake up in the mirror, you looking in the mirror, you hearing what the n*gga told you, some sh*t about yourself that you can’t even deal with. That’s how we battle where we come from.
The full interview drops next week, but you can check out the teaser clip below.

The Lakers played their first game of the 2016-17 NBA season against the Rockets on Wednesday night, and even though Kobe Bryant is obviously no longer on the team, it was still a star-studded event with all kinds of celebrities showing up to take in the game at the Staples Center.
