Showing a total lack of class, Amber Rose today took shots at her ex-boyfriend Kanye West’s wife Kim Kardashian-West on Twitter, over comments that were not even made from Kim herself. Less than an hour ago on Twitter, Amber Rose tweeted (which has since been deleted) to Khloe Kardashian “I’ll be that lil whore to support my family like ur older sister is a whore 2 support hers. We’re even,” referring to Kim’s sextape with singer Ray J and Khloe Kardashian’s recent comments about Rose. Khloe soon responded telling Rose, “well damn,I didn’t realize I called you a whore,” a tweet which has also since been deleted. A low blow to take shots at someone who didn’t instigate the beef in the first place (whether or not Khloe called Amber a whore), but we guess given all of Kanye and Kim’s recent success, it’s natural to be jealous. Check out some of the fan RTs of the original tweets below.
Earlier today we speculated that Kanye West may be performing his new track ‘Wolves‘ with Vic Mensa and Sia, for Saturday Night Live’s 40th Anniversary Special on NBC. As it turns out, we were right, as Chicago’s Vic Mensa and ‘Chandelier’ singer Sia joined Kanye for their first ever live performance of the song. For those who have not yet heard the amazing new collaboration from the Chicago legend and Chicago’s rising star, ‘Wolves’ is the first track off Kanye’s forthcoming LP and is produced by Cashmere Cat. Although Kanye seemed to have lost his voice before the performance (where he also performed ‘Jesus Walks’ and ‘Only One’), Ye still managed to deliver. Check out the performance below.
Matt Lauer and Kanye West haven’t had the best history, to say the least. Now it seems like things have escalated even further. What started with an appearanceby Kanye on the Today Show with Matt Lauer in 2010, led to a series of tweets by Kanye, voicing his frustration. “While I was trying to give the interview they started playing the ‘MTV’ under me with audio!” Kanye tweeted. “I don’t mess with Matt Lauer or the Today Show … and that’s a very nice way for me to put it!” Ever since then, Kanye didn’t seem to forgive or forget, as he addressed his dislike of Lauer during one of his famous Yeezus Tourrants, just over a year ago.
[UPDATE #2: Turns out we were right! Check out the performance here!]
Is Kanye performing his new song ‘Wolves‘ with Vic Mensa tonight, for Saturday Night Live‘s 40th Anniversary special? It sure looks like it. A couple weeks ago it was revealed that Kanye was one of the performers for the upcoming special, which airs tonight on NBC (8PM/EST). And now more and more signs point to Kanye and Vic’s first performance of their Sia and Cashmere Cat produced collaboration.
The best and brightest of this past week in music, as well as a throwback track! Hopefully you can bump these tracks on your way to work to brighten up your Monday mornings. This week we have new music from the hip-hop heavyweights Kanye West, Drake, Kendrick Lamar and more! Continue reading Songs of the Week ft. Drake, Vic Mensa, Chance the Rapper and More!→
Earlier today Kanye West premiered a brand new song titled ‘Wolves’, track one from his forthcoming album, which features Chicago’s Vic Mensa, as well as ‘Chandelier’ singer Sia. The song was debuted during Kanye’s adidas Yeezy Boost debut show at New York Fashion Week, and after recorded footage of the song leaked, we now have a higher quality version of the track for your listening pleasure. Check out ‘Wolves’ below.
Big day for Kanye West and the artists he is putting on today. Earlier today fans got to hear the first track off Kanye’s forthcoming album, titled ‘Wolves‘, which features Chicago’s Vic Mensa. During his Roc city classic concert in New York City with Kevin Durant, Kanye West brought out New Jersey rapper Fetty Wap to perform his 2014 song ‘Trap Queen’. Kanye described the track as one of his favorite songs right now and wished the rapper good luck in his future. If Fetty wasn’t building a name for himself enough before, this appearance and Kanye co-sign will definitely help. Check out the video for ‘Trap Queen’ below.
Kanye West may very well be one of the least predictable artists of his generation. When you think he’s gone punk, he collaborates with pop princess Rihanna and legend Paul McCartney. When you think he’s finally won over the media, he gets in trouble from an post-awards show. So these instances might explain why during his NYFW show, Kanye premiered a brand new song titled ‘Wolves’, the first track from his album-featuring Chicago rapper/singer, the super creative Vic Mensa, as well as ‘Chandelier’ singer Sia. The record takes a much darker turn from his previous singles ‘Only One’ and ‘FourFiveSeconds’ and rather than including wildly successful established and iconic artists like Ms. Fenty and The Beatles frontman, it features two lesser known but up-and-coming and diversely talented artists. The track was produced by Cashmere Cat, along with Sinjin Hawke.
You can listen to the song and watch the accompanying visuals from the show below.

For those who don’t know Donda’s House is a non-profit organization created in honor of Kanye West’s late mother, Dr. Donda West. The mission of Donda’s House is to honor the educational legacy of Dr. West by implementing arts, health/wellness, and literature experiences that transform youth. In addition to their daily operations and weekly events, Donda’s House has put on a number of big events in the past year specifically, including their “Behind the Mic” event with Big Sean and their community showcase at this year’s AAHH! Fest. Now because of Illinois budget cuts, Donda’s House and its mission has been threatened, and they are asking for your help to make sure that all of Chicago’s youth has access to arts and a safe space at Donda’s House.
You probably thought Kanye West was being funny and joking when he stepped on stage while Beck received his Grammy for “Album of the Year”, well guess again. Speaking with E! after the Grammys, Kanye shared his opinion about Grammys and their selections this year.
