Drake and Meek Mill may soon be old news for rap beef as Vic Mensa just took serious shots at G.O.O.D. Music‘s Travis Scott with his new ‘Heir To The Throne’ freestyle. Rapping over Biggie’s classic ‘Who Shot Ya?’ record, Mensa raps, “couple rap n*ggas you done thought that we was crew, real life n*ggas was corny, what can I do? Rich boy rappers get the notion that they tough, you a Cheddar Bob you better shooting yourself.” While mimicking Travis Scott’s “straight up” adlib between bars, Mensa is clearly talking about Scott, who (like Vic) is very close with Kanye West and producer Mike Dean.
While we aren’t certain where, how, or why this beef started, members of the KanyeToThe forum traced the beef back to last month, from one of Mensa’s tweets. In the tweet, Mensa is noticeably annoyed by a HNHH article that describes Vic’s unreleased track, ‘3 AM’, as sounding similar to a “Travis Scott song without the autotune.” Vic soon replied asking that they not mention him with “funny style n*ggas.”

It’s possible that something behind the scenes explains Mensa’s disliking of Scott, and there were rumors that a fight between Scott’s team and Vic’s SAVEMONEY crew broke out months ago, but for now it may just be the case that Mensa isn’t a fan of La Flame. Or perhaps the two are competing for studio time with Kanye and Mike Dean? Either way, this doesn’t seem like a necessary beef, and the unnecessary shots are overshadowing the dope bars Vic laid down in the new freestyle. Both Mensa and Scott will be in Chicago this weekend, as Travis is performing at Lollapalooza and Vic is performing a hometown show for an unofficial Lollapalooza Afterparty, so perhaps the two will cross paths…
Listen to Mensa’s shots towards Travis Scott at the 1:40 mark below.

For being dubbed American’s assh*le by half the country, Kanye West is truly an inspiring and open minded person. Today, E! has shared uplifting details about the first time Mr. West met Caitlyn Jenner, which will air on Sunday’s premiere episode of “I Am Cait”. “I think this is one of the strongest things that have happened in our existence as human beings, that are so controlled by perception,” Kanye told Cait during their first meeting. “You couldn’t have been up against more,” Kanye added. Well that ignorant guy from your high school that doesn’t think Caitlyn Jenner is a hero may not be accepting, but Kanye West sure is.
Don’t miss this moment on the premiere of I Am Cait, this Sunday on E!.

Kickstarter has inspired a lot of strange ideas, but this one might be both the coolest and the strangest. “The Brohaus Art Collective” has launched a Kickstarter campaign to try to deliver their Kanye West lifesized body pillow (you read that correctly) to the man himself. The pillow stands at Kanye-height and is designed with a photo of Kanye. For a pledge of $200 or more, supporters in the Bay Area can spend a night with the original body pillow and for a pledge of $1,500 or more you can get a replica Kanye body pillow for your very own.
“We. Love. Kanye… more than life itself. So we made a pillow in his likeness, to lose ourselves in Yeezy’s fluffy embrace day and night. We want to actually hand-deliver the pillow to Kanye himself, but for reasons outside our control, we don’t have his address. With your help, we’re hoping to get enough attention to deliver it to him personally and send our backers updates along the way.”
Support the Kickstarter campaign here and check out photos of the pillow below.

English singer/songwriter got on the good side of a whole lot of Kanye West fans this past weekend as she made it her mission to bring justice to all the Kanye West hate at Glastonbury. Before Kanye West’s epic festival performance, and despite a highly publicized petition asking that Kanye be removed from the line-up, Lily Allen traveled around the festival and then stole and burned any anti-Kanye propaganda that crossed her path.
Sharing the images on her Instagram, the Sheezus singer wrote “The flag said FUCK OFF KANYE, so I burned it till it said just KANYE . Don’t go for dinner at someone’s house and tell them their food sucks.” We can’t argue with that logic!
Check out Lily in action below!

The man that brought polos and backpacks to rap, who made shutter shades huge (before college kids killed their appeal), who reminded Sway “It ain’t Ralph tho”, Kanye West himself, has been named GQ’s Most Stylish Man Alive. Minutes ago, Kanye’s wife Kim Kardashian-West shared the cover for GQ’s “The Most Stylish Men Alive” issue, with Kanye front and center. A man who has been on a non-stop campaign to spread his fashion influence on the world for the past few years and whose shoes re-list on eBay for thousands, was likely an easy choice for GQ. This accolade comes just months after Time named Kanye their “100 Most Influential People” list.
Check out Kim’s tweet and GQ’s new cover below.
