Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are welcoming their fourth bundle of joy this new year.
The reality star appeared on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen alongside her sisters, Khloe and Kourtney to confirm that she and Kanye West are expecting a boy.
“It’s out there,” Kim told the host, according to the Hollywood Reporter. “I got drunk at our Christmas Eve party and I told some people. I can’t remember who I told.”
As far as the due date she kept it vague and said he’ll be arriving “sometime soon.” Reports that the couple were expecting via surrogate broke at the top of the year.
Chicago, who was also delivered by surrogate turns 1 today. They also have North, 5, and Saint, 3.
Grammy-winning rapper Kanye West has a little explaining to do. The hip-hop superstar is catching heat after appearing to show some sympathy toward disgraced singer R. Kelly over the weekend.
New footage has gone viral of Ye speaking up for Kells’ artistry and suggesting people with issues toward the crooner should feel the same way about other iconic entertainers.
“They just gonna pull up full documentaries on him, – Then they gonna come with the Michael [Jackson] documentary. … We can all enjoy all their music all we want. I thought I wasn’t going to go there today. If we’re gonna tear down artists, let’s go ahead and take [Leonardo] da Vinci out the Lourve while we’re at it. Let’s take down all the art.” (USA Today)

Instead of staying mum, Kanye’s wife Kim Kardashian immediately provided some context behind Ye’s remarks.
I’m going to nip this in the bud right now. Kanye was speaking about his own experience of everyone quick to say they are cancelling him because of differences in opinion & not being perfect. The analogies were in context to his own experiences, not defending anyone else.
I want to make it very clear, he is not condoning anyone’s actions or unacceptable disgusting behavior. My husband’s words are being taken out of context due to timing.
Despite the craziness, new footage has emerged and shows Kanye making a reference to docs exposing musicians.
1:53 PM PT — We’ve obtained an extended version from Kanye’s service on Sunday, and he never mentions R. Kelly. In fact, Kanye keeps the conversation almost entirely about himself and his experiences in 2018. Our sources say Kanye’s quote about documentaries was nothing but bad timing. (TMZ)

Even though Kanye is preaching love he still wants things his way. We finally find out why he dropped out of the biggest music festival and the reason is because he is Kanye.
According to a report by BillboardYeezy pulled out of Coachella because they didn’t not want to build out a custom dome for him to perform in. While to his credit he does have a long history of innovative set design the build out in question would have forced the executive team to rearrange the entire festival grounds. Additionally, the dome would also mean removing several portable bathrooms which is clutch for attendees who plan to be at the site all day.
As per one of Billboard’s unnamed sources, West took the conference call while he was on vacation. When the Coachella team informed him that the dome was out of the question he reportedly got in his feelings and hung up the phone unexpectedly.
Parent company Goldenvoice had been trying to secure the free thinker as a headlining act for three years. When the talks came to a crashing halt they booked songstress Arianna Grande as his replacement. The magazine also reports Kanye was close to signing with Governor’s Ball festival but pulled out for the same reason.
The 20th edition of Coachella will be taking place over two weekends; April 12-14 and April 19-21. You can find the full line-up below.
Kanye West has a large platform and can use it any way he well pleases, but few would have thought a Gospel-influenced musical event would end having the star defending R&Creep star R. Kelly. During the Sunday Service concert series debut, West defended Kelly while also referencing Michael Jackson.
The Sunday Service event featured West with a Gospel choir and running through a number of his hits. Joining the Chicago superstar was Kid Cudi, 070 Shake, and Tony Williams. The medley of songs included tracks like “Father Stretch My Hands Pt. 1,” “I Wonder,” and “Reborn” among others.
However, things went left during the mini-concert when West, perhaps inspired by the recent airing of Surviving R. Kelly, defended the R&B singer and made a call to separate the man from the art.
“They just gonna pull up full documentaries on ’em, and then they gonna come with the Michel documentary. We can enjoy all they music all we want. I thought I wasn’t gonna go there today, but because if we going to tear down one artist, let’s go ahead and take the da Vinci’s outta the Louvre while we’re at it, let’s take down all the art,” West said in a break in the set, referencing the Leaving Neverland documentary which focuses on the lives of two adult accusers of Michael Jackson regarding sexual abuse. Video footage of the moment has since been scrubbed from the Internet.
Again, West is free to feel as he does, but he’s gotta know that caping for creeps just because they made good music might have folks looking at him suspect as if the MAGA stance wasn’t already enough.
Grammy-winning rapper Kanye West‘s support for Donald Trump is giving the Internet all the fuel needed for serious flaming. Social media has lit up Yeezy with a hard-hitting “Chappelle’s Show” meme.
On Monday, comedian and former “Chappelle’s Show” star Donnell Rawlings shared a savage Instagram post going at Ye by comparing him to unforgettable character Clayton Bigsby.
No red hat, don’t Michael and Prince me and Ye/They separate you when you got Michael and Prince’s DNA, uh/I ain’t one of these house n*ggas you bought/My house like a resort, my house bigger than yours/My spou- (C’mon man) (“What’s Free”)
Grammy-winning rapper Kanye West came “this” close to headlining the upcoming Coachella music festival. New reports have emerged on what ultimately nixed his involvement in the 2019 event.
According to reports, Ye pulled out after learning the festival wouldn’t build him a customized dome.
On Jan. 1, just two days before Coachella co-founder Paul Tollett was set to announce Kanye West as one of the stars headlining the desert festival, West sprung a last-minute surprise on the concert promoter. Instead of performing on the main Coachella stage, West asked Tollett to construct a giant, custom-built dome in the middle of the festival grounds. The dome would be designed by West collaborator and set designer John McGuire. (Billboard)
Kanye made it clear he wouldn’t perform on a traditional 60×40 foot stage because it was “artistically limiting.” Goldenvoice, which produces the festival, would not allow the stage to be altered or removed for Ye’s performance. In the end, we’re told Kanye passed. A Kanye source says after the Saint Pablo tour, Ye wants to give groundbreaking performances. As you know, the Saint Pablo stage moved over the crowd, and Kanye loved it. (TMZ)
Informed sources tell us that the Coachella 2019 lineup will be headlined by Childish Gambino (Friday), Justin Timberlake (Saturday) and Kanye West (Sunday). Believe it or not. Stay tuned for updates, and try to lay off the molly until the festival starts. (HITS Daily Double)
Reality TV star Kim Kardashian really has a ride or die hubby. The hip-hop wife went to social media this week to reveal an epic story about Kanye West having her own Barbie made.
Kim K went to Twitter this week and revealed Yeezy came through after her Barbie deal crumbled.
Have the best story about this look! I had a Barbie deal & she was going 2 wear this exact look! Then the deal got cancelled, the Kim K Barbie would no longer B produced. Kanye knew how sad I was, called Mattel & made all my dreams come true by having my prototype made just 4 me! https://t.co/F1r2Ai8WWC
Kanye and Kim Kardashian West are expecting their fourth child via surrogate, PEOPLE has confirmed. The baby on the way will join big siblings Chicago, 11 months, Saint, 3, and North, 5. Although Kardashian West has made it clear that she loves being a mother, in August, a Keeping Up with the Kardashians source told PEOPLE that the 38-year-old reality star and rapper West, 41, weren’t “in a huge rush” to give their three children another sibling. (People)
The KKW Beauty founder addressed the speculation during an exclusive interview with E! News at the Christie’s x What Goes Around Comes Around 25th Anniversary Auction on Tuesday evening in Beverly Hills. “I don’t know, I don’t know, I read that, I read something…none of that was true,” Kim told us of the reports. “But I’ve been really open about it and talked about it on our show, so…I don’t know.” (E! Online)
Kanye West just received more validation from his hero. The POTUS recently shouted out the rapper for his support.
As per ComplexDonald Trump took time out of his busy day last weekend to thank Yeezy for doubling down on his unwavering backing. “Thank you to Kanye West for your nice words. Criminal Justice Reform is now law – passed in a very bipartisan way!”
Thank you to Kanye West for your nice words. Criminal Justice Reform is now law – passed in a very bipartisan way!
Trump’s shout out makes reference to the Criminal Justice Reform law he signed in December which is a passion point shared by both Kanye and his wife Kim Kardashian West. According to The Hill the new directive “reduces mandatory minimum sentences in certain instances and expands on ‘good time credits’ for well-behaved prisoners looking for shorter sentences.”
Just got word that Matthew Charles will be coming home within 24 hours. Thank you @realDonaldTrump for signing the 1st step act. This is what true bipartisanship can accomplish. https://t.co/9EnwDSksfw
Last year Kim personally met with Donald at The White House to request leniency for Alice Marie Johnson who was serving life for a nonviolent offense. Trump went on to grant Johnson clemency following the meeting.
Near the midpoint of 2018, Nas released his NASIR album, produced entirely by Kanye West. Apart from having one producer, the legendary MC’s 11th album saw a different rollout than his other works. It was not until mid-November that fans got a video from the Mass Appeal/Def Jam Records release. That came in the form of a mini-movie, which included individual visuals from most of the 27-minute release.
“Cops Shot The Kid” is a highlight of that artful 16-minute video. Now, Nas and his label release the only charting single from Nasir on its own. Sadly, the symbolism and commentary on the Slick Rick-sampling song is something that remains relevant in the new year. Notably, MC Ricky D (who has recently been working on some Def Jam legacy materials) briefly appears in the vid.
The clip begins with Nas at dusk, reflecting from an exotic beach-side view. Richard Pryor’s monologue about experiencing racism and police brutality plays. Jarring footage of cops brutal handling of Black men and bodies covered up displays, blended with the sound of incessant gunshots. As ‘ye’s charged-up beat begins, the sequence cuts to a Boyz N’ The Hood-inspired chase sequence down a fenced alley. However, in the world of “Cops Shot The Kid,” it’s not neighborhood foes clashing, it is a police squad car that has this young Black man running for his life.
Nas raps his bars, with his Italian sports car parked in the middle of the road. The delivery is inter-cut with scenes of faces being slammed on hoods, “ghetto-bird” helicopters, flashing lights, and aggressive orders from officers with their guns drawn. As Kanye raps his verse, ta body is covered outside houses that look a lot like Nas’ Queensbridge childhood. Nas and Slick Rick, two highly-respected ambassadors of Hip-Hop culture, artists, and celebrities, are portrayed putting their hands up too. They’ve felt it in their lives. Also, these parents know the pain of raising children into this world of institutional racism where the badge seems always to be a shield to justice.

MAGA Kanye West is out to prove that he still is the man with his new album Yandhi. There are currently no details on when it will be released, but a report states he is in Miami with a stacked roster of Hip-Hop artists who are going to work with him.
The news of the recording comes after Kanye gifted his wife, Kim Kardashian, with a $14 million South Beach condo, which is now where they will spend 50% of their time.
Are you looking forward to new music from Kanye West? Which collaboration catches your eye. Maybe, we will learn more about his efforts when he talks with Joe Rogan.
