Baron Negro: Kanye West Hits Big 3 Game Dressed Like Baron Zemo
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Ethan Miller / Getty Maybe Kanye West is a big fan of MCU villains? We say this because Yeezy was at the Big 3 Tournament in Las Vegas on Saturday (July 17) and was spotted courtside dressed like Baron Zemo. Source: Marvel / Disney+ There was Mr. West next to Big 3 head honcho Ice Cube wearing an outfit that featured a mask that also could pass for Cobra Commander couture and what looks like a pair of those Yeezy Supply boots. There is where we point out that Vegas is in the desert, so it’s pretty much always hot outside. That didn’t stop Yeezy from donning winter-ready looking drip at the Orleans Arena to take in a game, though. Cube being comfortable in a t-shirt was a sharp contrast to West keeping on the black version of the Round Jacket that’s part o...
Kanye West Got Friend Zoned By Model Irina Shayk, Source Says

However, Irina Shayk has allegedly already relegated Yeezy to the friend zone. Let’s be wary of the source, Page Six, which is part of the New York Post, and does the most to put stars of color in a bad light. But word is that Shayk curved West’s invitation to go with him to the Balenciaga Fall 2021 Couture show in Paris last week. “She likes him as a friend, but doesn’t want a relationship with him,” a source told Page Six, noting Shayk didn’t want to be featured in any headlines.

New Study Finds Running to Songs by Avicii, A$AP Rocky, More Combats Mental Fatigue
It comes as no surprise that exercise raises endorphin levels, but a recent study has suggested that listening to specific music while running can help combat mental fatigue. Arriving at a “runner’s high” is ideal, but oftentimes exhaustion can inhibit a person from reaching that level before giving up. According to Science Daily, who analyzed the University of Edinburgh’s study, “The performance of runners who listened to a self-selected playlist after completing a demanding thinking task was at the same level as when they were not mentally fatigued.” The study’s researchers examined 18 fitness enthusiasts, who were split into two groups.
