Well, given the rant that Kanye West went on at his listening party for his Vultures album with Ty Dolla $ign in Vegas last night (Thursday, December 14), maybe the album isn't coming out after all. Moreover, he blasted a whole cavalcade of people and entities in a lengthy 10-minute rant, which ended with him remarking that everyone in the room with him in that moment was fake. Eventually, the Chicago rapper kicked YesJulz out, who was the one streaming this whole thing, after going off on Jay-Z, Drake, Adidas, and so many more for not supporting him for the past year. It seems like this moment is the culmination of his antisemitic reclusion that began a year ago. Furthermore, Kanye called out "Jewish n***as" who call his rants "episodes." "Y'all ain't stop that Adidas s**t," he said during one point of his rant. "Y'all n***as let Adidas crash the richest n***a of all time. I put up one tweet. Then, Ari Emanuel put, 'Oh, we got...

Reactions to "7 Minute Drill," J Cole's clapback at Kendrick Lamar's diss against him, have been pretty split among the hip-hop community. Everyone seems to be celebrating the back-and-forth as competitive spirit, but the jury's still out on whether it was actually an appropriate, cutting, or worthwhile response. Joe Budden and the rest of the members of his podcast said during their latest episode that the Dreamville boss did not strike gold with this diss track as he likely wanted to. While there were a few different points here, the most salient and reoccurring one in their discussion was that Cole just doesn't have the conviction or energy to back up this aggression. "The tone," Joe Budden remarked as to what his main problem with the verse was, or at least the point he and his cohosts discussed the most. "This is my issue with this f**&ing narcoleptic sounding s**t. This sounds like... if I was actively looking to cop fentanyl thi...

On Friday (December 1), Jamie King announced on Instagram that she has started an OnlyFans account. The account’s handle is @christmasbabie305, after her December 25 birthday and the Miami area code. King will be charging $10.99 a month for access to the account, and gave her Instagram followers a sneak peek at what’s to come with a photo of her posing in underwear and a long-sleeved crop top. You can see her announcement below. Jamie King has been a controversial presence at her son’s trial. In October, prosecutors tried to ban her from the courtroom and accused her of trying to “manipulate or influence potential jurors,” saying she was crying near the courtroom’s parking garage.
