Tiësto Reveals That Kanye West Wanted to Collaborate on “Fade”
Tiësto and Kanye West almost collaborated on “Fade.” Let that sink in for a moment. In a new interview with GQ, the dance music legend waxed poetic about a number of topics, like his taste in memes, the Ableton-themed design of his new home, and the likelihood of house music’s survival if clubs were to permanently shut down due to COVID-19. It was his revelation about the polarizing hip-hop legend West, however, that served as a needle in a haystack. When asked if he had ever been starstruck by anyone he’d met, Tiësto dropped Kanye’s name. “One time he had just done an award show in Vegas and after we went to his dressing room. He sat down and he played some new tracks. He played me the whole [Life of] Pablo album, from start to finish,...
Kanye West Teases New Song That Samples Lauryn Hill
Ten days after calling record deals “modern day slavery” and literally pissing on a Grammy, Kanye West used Twitter the same way most artists do: to promote music.

The rapper arrived in the country yesterday to meet with president Jovenel Moise about building a city. Preview “Believe What I Say” below.

Jumpman Jig: Kanye West Threatens To Only Wear Air Jordans Until adidas Gives Him A Board Seat

After years of helping adidas close the gap with Nike for title of “Hottest Brand In These Streets” thanks to his massively popular Yeezy line, Kanye has decided he no longer wants to just be a featured artist/designer on the three stripped brand, he wants to be on the board of directors. In a now deleted Tweet, Yeezus threatened to exclusively wear Air Jordan sneakers until adidas offered him a seat at the table and just to drive that point home even tweeted (and deleted) himself rocking a p...
Sunken Rapper Kanye West Vows To Give Back His 50% Share of Masters To G.O.O.D Music Artists
Source: Rich Fury/VF20 / Getty Kanye West’s presidential campaign is flopping, so now he is dead set on “freeing” himself and other artists from their contracts with music labels. Before Mr. West can lead that fight against unfair music contracts, he has to take a look in the mirror. Yeezy was already accurately called a hypocrite by Ma$e for making light of his contract situation with Diddy and Bad Boy, now he has seen the light in regards to himself. West is on a fervent quest to get his masters back and knows before that he can do that, he has to take care of the artists currently on his label G.O.O.D. Music. In a tweet, he vowed to bless his artists, stating: “I’m giving all Good music artists back the 50% share I have of their masters.” I’m giving all Good music artist back the 50% sh...

Kanye West Responds To Ma$e After He Was Called Out For Being A Hypocrite
Source: Brian Stukes / Getty Kanye West has had music Twitter in shambles after he decided to make it his mission to revolutionize how artists are signed to labels and the deals and contracts they were given while pissing on his Grammy, literally. His music biz rant caught the attention of one rapper who West sort of clowned on wax. While Kanye West was on his electronic soapbox, aka Twitter, there were some music artists calling bull you know what on West’s claims and felt he was very hypocritical. One artist, in particular, Ma$e, came with the receipts in an Instagram post calling out Yeezy for his hypocrisy. If you remember, on the track “Devil in a New Dress,” West spoke on Ma$e’s sudden exit from the rap game, “don’t leave while your hot, that’s how Ma$e screwed up.” Now the “Feel So ...

Kanye West Pisses On His Grammy Award, Dubs Himself ‘Baby Putin’
Source: SAUL LOEB / Getty Kanye West must really be on the same ish as Donald Trump because he’s doing the utter most these days. After waging war on Joe Biden, Drake, J. Cole, and on overall reality, Kanye West, aka Yeezy, has set his sights on the music industry. After posting over a hundred pages of his record contract on his Twitter account and calling the music industry “modern day slavery” (wouldn’t that be a choice, Ye?), Kanye took things up a notch by taking one of his many Grammy awards and filming himself urinating on it to express his current disdain for the industry that made him a household name. Kanye who began referring to himself as the “New Moses” then decided he’d go by a new moniker and from the sounds of it, well, he’s definitely coming off as a Trump comrade. TRUST ME...
Kanye West Urinates on Grammy Award in Latest Tweetstorm

Pocket Change: Kanye West Has Personally Spent Nearly $7M On His Presidential Pipe Dream, Allegedly
Source: SAUL LOEB / Getty As the race for president is fast approaching its conclusion this November, Kanye West’s campaign is becoming one of the most bizarre bids ever to participate in an election cycle. Keeping his political aspirations afloat isn’t cheap, though. The rapper’s overdue campaign financials filed with the Federal Election Commission were released over the weekend, revealing how nearly $7 million of West’s personal funds were spent over the last couple of months. And, so far, only an estimated 12 states are willing to show his name on a ballot. NYMag breaks down the numerous issues Ye’s campaign is battling as of late. Five states have ongoing litigation against his ballot efforts, one in Virginia, “where a number of electors for West were unaware that they had signe...
