Kanye West Drops Entire Livestream For ‘The Future Brunch’ With Jason Lee
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Edward Berthelot / Getty To close out Black History Month, or as Kanye West has dubbed it, Black Future Month, he decided to share a livestream from his “The Future Brunch.” Ye teamed up with a peddler of poorly sourced news, Jason Lee, earlier in February to hold a brunch bringing together a plethora of Black journalists. The focus of the gathering was to talk about “controlling our narrative” and “vital ways to further amplify Black voices and the Black culture narrative.” Related Stories The embattled rapper took some time off from harassing Pete Davidson and shared a clip of him speaking at the brunch that honestly looked like an Illuminati gathering ahead of the livestream event.

Is It CAP?: Dame Dash Feels Kanye West Is “Our New Michael Jackson”
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Bennett Raglin/BET / Getty Dame Dash is known for dropping bold statements. This particular one might be his boldest one yet. Despite being shown as someone who wasn’t entirely on board with the idea of Kanye West becoming a rapper in Netflix’s three-part Ye docuseries jeen-yuhs, Dash had nothing but glowing words for the polarizing Hip-Hop star. Speaking with The Jasmine Brand, the 50-year-old mogul who eventually signed West to his first record label deal with Roc-A-Fella Records spoke on his relationship with West even going as far as to compare Yeezy to the late King of Pop, Michael Jackson. “I was the guy who always ran around with a camera ’cause I knew that these moments were priceless, it was just a matter of when it was time,” Dash said in his in...

HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Johnny Nunez / Getty Ye, FKA Kanye West, teased for weeks that his highly anticipated follow-up to the DONDA album would be available on Feb. 22, but the time came and went without a proper drop. However, the Chicago superstar hosted a lavish listening event in Miami for DONDA 2 on Tuesday but Twitter observed a number of technical difficulties which prompted a flurry of responses on the social media network.

Kanye West And His Legal Team Object To Kim Kardashians Divorce, Here’s Why
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Ricky Vigil M / Getty With all the (very public) drama surrounding Kanye West and his apparent inability to let his estranged wife Kim Kardashian move on, it’s not terribly surprising that Ye’s legal team is fighting Kardashian’s bid to divorce her husband and reinstate her legal status. But, in this case, his objections appear to be less stalkerish and more in line with what can typically become a battle between spouses going through a contentious divorce. According to TMZ, Ye’s lawyers appear to be concerned about the possibility of Kardashian remarrying and what it might mean for the ex-couple’s joint assets and custody of their children. (Meanwhile, Kim’s new boo Pete Davidson is probably somewhere reading the story and thinking, “Woah, woah, woah—rem...
