After releasing a behind the scenes sneak peak and a couple video teasers, Rihanna has released the video for her Kanye West and Paul McCartney collaboration ‘FourFiveSeconds’. ‘FourFiveSeconds’, available now on iTunes, is the first taste of Rihanna’s highly anticipated R8 album, and according to reports, it may be a track that fans can hear her and Kanye perform live on tour this year. The black and white video (like the song) is simple yet great, showing the three against a white background in their best denim fits. Check the official music video, and its behind the scenes clip, below.
According toreports by TheShoeGame.com, rumor has it that Kanye West is releasing his next highly anticipated sneaker, the adidas YEEZi 3 during the NBA All-Star Weekend (February 13-15). Also according to reports, the shoes are rumored to retail at $350, and while there is no word yet as to how many pairs will be released for purchase, West has said in the past that his releases with adidas will be much more accessible to the public (and also more affordable). This would be a relief as his last release with Nike, the Red Octobers (Yeezy 2) were very limited, and highly sought after.
A new images have surfaced that suggests a Kanye West and Rihanna tour is coming this year! Get excited people! While the tour is not yet confirmed, a picture has circulated on social media that advertises a Kanye x Rihanna 2015 tour. This tour has also been confirmed by a source to the LA Times’ writer Gerrick D. Kennedy. You should never get your hopes up too much, but this tour would certainly make sense as the two recently collaborated for their single ‘FourFiveSeconds‘ with Paul McCartney. Another piece of evidence is that in 2014 Rihanna auctioned off a VIP package for charity which included tickets for a 2015 Kanye West tour. Also this would not be the first time the two joined forces for a tour, as Rihanna joined Mr. West for his acclaimed Glow in the Dark Tour, not to mention the fact that the two performed together this past weekend at a Super Bowl party. Get excited and stay tuned!

Looks like drama is building up between rappers 50 Cent and A$AP Rocky. It all started as A$AP Rocky sent a direct message to 50 Cent’s girl “Tatted Up Holly” over Instagram, where Rocky messaged “HEY LUV, I REALLY LIKE UR STYLE AND WOULD LUV TO BUILD IF UR FREE.”Then after Holly sent the message 50’s way, the rapper put Rocky on blast on his Instagramby posting a screenshot of the DM and the caption “Boy of boy, last time I seen this punk he had a dress on. You cant afford holly I gave her habits, get your weight up first boy. Bentley and better over here n*gga. can you buy that? f*ck you think. I’, Kanye and you Wiz lol.” Nice jab at Wiz too, we must say.
Soon after Rocky was quick to respond on his Twitter, telling 50 that he didn’t know “she was (50’s)” and to “quit acting like a jealous sugar daddy.” Get your popcorn ready and check to see if the tension builds up. Check out the messages below.
