Black Woman Who Kanye West Targeted At “Campaign Rally” Opens Up About The Experience
Source: SAUL LOEB / Getty Kanye West is having himself one hell of a week and not in a good way. The sh*t show pushed as a campaign rally is coming back to haunt him, one of the attendees is speaking out. When clips from Kanye West’s campaign rally began to hit Twitter, one, in particular, stood out. No, we’re not talking about the clip of him sharing that he almost aborted his first child or him claiming Harriet Tubman never freed slaves (Tubman’s great-niece checked him on that), we’re referring to the clip of him singling out a young Black woman in the crowd. In an exclusive interview with Madame Noire’s Veronica Wells, 20-year-old Iesha M. Daniels opened up about her experience at Kanye’s zany presidential campaign. In the interview, Daniels explains why she wanted to attend the car wr...
Kim Kardashian Speaks Out on Kanye West’s Mental Health
From the moment Kanye West announced his presidential campaign, it’s been a whirlwind ride for the rapper/mogul/candidate. While West has been open about having bipolar disorder, his recent behavior has led many to believe that the rapper is going through a manic episode. His wife, Kim Kardashian, released a statement about West. “I’ve never spoken publicly about how this has affected us at home because I am very protective of our children and Kanye’s right to privacy when it comes to his health,” Kardashian started her message on Instagram Stories. “But today, I feel like I should comment on it because of the stigma and misconceptions about mental health.” She continued, “Those that understand mental illness or even compulsive behavior know that family is powerless unless the member ...
Harriet Tubman’s Great-Niece Gives Kanye West A Much-Needed History Lesson
Source: SAUL LOEB / Getty Whether or not Kanye West is not taking his meds, one thing is obvious, his lack of knowledge when it comes to African American history. Kanye West’s zany presidential campaign rally he held on Sunday (Jul.19) not only has reportedly landed him in hot water with his wife and her family but with the relatives of the iconic slave abolitionist, Harriet Tubman. During the sh*t show event, West inaccurately claimed that Tubman didn’t free the slaves. “Harriet Tubman never actually freed the slaves, she just had the slaves go work for other white people.” Tina Wyatt, Harriet Tubman’s great-niece, spoke with TMZ and said the rapper was “dead wrong” and pointed out if Tubman didn’t free slaves Kanye would still be on a plantation, wouldn’t be able to spew the nonsense he ...
Free Smoke: Drake Takes Shots At Pusha T & Kanye West In “Only You Freestyle”
Source: ROBYN BECK / Getty Drake smells blood in the water. The Toronto rapper seemingly came out swinging at Kanye West and Pusha T in a new freestyle. Kanye West had himself a tough Monday (Jul.21). Not only did he seemingly meltdown on Twitter following his failed campaign rally that didn’t even help get on South Carolina’s ballot, Drizzy decided to touch him up with some bars. In his best across the pond accent, Aubrey let the chopper spray calling out both West and his G.O.O.D. Music president Pusha T. On UK rapper Headie One’s “Only You Freestyle,” Drake seemly alleges that Kanye has been hiding behind King Push when it came to their “beef.”. On the song he raps: “Sh*t, you man been droppin’ lately/Don’t make me have to fly my iTunes,” Drake raps. “So much people buy into my hype / D...
Ty Dolla $ign, Skrillex, Kanye West, and FKA Twigs Drop Kaleidoscopic “Ego Death” Animated Video
A few days after teasing the official music video for their collaborative single “Ego Death,” Ty Dolla $ign, Skrillex, Kanye West, and FKA Twigs have unveiled the final version. The four artists opted for an animated video by Emonee LaRussa, a two-time Emmy Award-winning motion graphics artist who enlisted the help of 10 animators and 3 character designers. With its hauntingly kaleidoscopic animations of each artist, who lick neon blood off knives and trip on magic mushrooms, the video is nothing short of breathtaking. Churning along to a hypnotic, moombah-inspired beat courtesy of Skrillex, the video also serves as a bewitchingly captivating accessory to the lyrical content of the song, which waxes poetic about the need to kill one’s ego in ...
Kanye’s 8 Wildest Statements During His SC “Presidential” Rally
Source: George Pimentel / Getty Kanye West‘s presidential run is only a few seconds old (relatively) and already it seems to be dead on arrival. Yesterday (July 19) he inexplicably stated that the iconic Harriet Tubman never freed any slaves, and that may not have been the wildest moment. “Well, Harriet Tubman never freed the slaves,” Kanye “matter of factly” said. “She just had the slaves go work for other white people.” Again, right back to the whole “slavery was a choice” f*ckery. With a bulletproof vest on his torso and “2020” etched on his dome piece where a fade should’ve been, Kanye continued to leave the South Carolina crowd speechless as he delved into the weirdest and most asinine campaign rally since, well, Donald Trump’s a few weeks ago. After threatening to walk away from both...
Kanye West’s DONDA to Arrive This Friday
In between ranting at a presidential rally and going on an epic Twitter rant on Monday, looks like Kanye West is going to actually release new music. West shared a tracklisting for DONDA, a new album he says will be out this Friday. How he’ll find time in his campaign schedule following his 4th of July declaration (and subsequent interview) to promote the collection remains to be seen. But it seems like West is at work on his new album while hunkered down at his home in Wyoming. West previously released “Donda,” a tribute to his mother on what would have been her 71st birthday. The song also features her rapping along to KRS-One’s “Sound of Da Police.” He also shared the Travis Scott collaboration “Wash Us in Blood,” but that doesn’t appear to make the cut. His previous album, Je...
The Kardashian Clan Allegedly “Upset & Concerned” Following Kanye West’s Kooky Campaign Rally
Source: Marc Piasecki / Getty Kanye West reportedly let the Kardashians and friends down with his latest sideshow. TMZ is reporting that following Kanye West’s sh*t show called a campaign rally in North Charleston on Sunday (Jul.20), his wife, her family, and close friends are “seriously concerned and upset.” After he put his lack of historical knowledge on full display by falsely claiming that Harriet Tubman wasn’t an abolitionist/freedom fighter but instead a slave trader, West went on a disgusting rant about abortion and shared personal information. According to the celebrity gossip site, the Kardashians were not pleased that Kanye spoke about Kim’s first pregnancy and him wanting to abort his first child, North West. Per TMZ: Suffice it to say … we’re told the family is upset that Kany...

Just under three weeks after the release of his mega-collaboration with Kanye West, FKA Twigs, Skrillex, and serpentwithfeet, Ty Dolla $ign is set to release the music video for “Ego Death.” He recently shared a teaser of the upcoming audiovisual spectacle with fans and announced its release date via Twitter. While we can’t see much in the short clip, the animated renditions of the artists from the single’s cover art have returned, leading some to believe that the video will be animated. You can also see trippy, multicolored patterns surrounding each artist, likely representing the psychedelic connotation of the song’s title. “Ego Death” by Ty Dolla $ign, Kanye West, FKA Twigs, Skrillex, and serpentwithfeet was released on ...
Kanye West Rips Harriet Tubman, Goes on Anti-Abortion Rant at First Presidential Rally
Kanye West is still very good at making jaws drop, for better or worse. At his first presidential campaign rally today in South Carolina, limited to “registered guests only” at North Charleston’s Exquis Event Center, there weren’t enough eyebrows to raise. Speaking sans mic, with “2020” shaved into his head and sporting a bulletproof vest, West bragged about having a 132 IQ (“I went to the hospital because my brain was too big for my skull”) and ripped Harriet Tubman, saying she “didn’t free the slaves, she had them go work for other white people.” He also said that his wife Kim Kardashian brought his daughter North into the world “even when I didn’t want to” in reference to her having an abortion. He also said his mom saved his life before bursting into tears in an anti-abortion rant and ...

Yesterday (July 18), Yeezy tweeted, and then soon deleted, an announcement of the release date for his new DONDA album.
