Kanye West has been angering the Jewish community and allies globally for a while now. His hateful tweets aren’t something that are missed easily over social media (or even DSPs).

Most recently, Kanye even put out a whole music video for ‘H**l Hitler’ — an aesthetically Ye-coded but morally tone deaf piece of work. Surely there were going to be consequences.

Ye’s upcoming album has leaked in its entirety

The rapper, in addition to having his scheduled album listening session cancelled in Korea, also suffered losses in terms of a massive music leak. Kanye West had his whole new album leak online (yes, the same one which had tracks like ‘Bianca,’ ‘WW3,’ ‘Cousins’ and more.)

Seemingly beginning with Discord, the leak was positioned with a clear stance: calling out Kanye West as a ‘Nazi B***h.’ Of course, there were other expletives thrown in the mix.

But what’s truly interesting is the hacker’s intent, according to which the proceeds are claimed to be transferred to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. Talk about karmic balance! Do you think the way these events unfolded is justified?

UPDATE: Kanye has reacted to the leaks on Twitter.

Halle Bailey, in consideration of her safety and well-being, has recently been granted a restraining order which has been imposed on rapper/ streamer DDG. The two have had a toxic relationship turned ugly, and are parents to a one year old child.

Bailey revealed that their relationship turned sour to the extent of it being physically violent in January, with multiple instances of violence. Apparently, the first instance of violence took place when the two got into an argument regarding visitation and it’s scheduling (in relation to their son) — which was a concern Bailey wanted to bring up with DDG.

The details of the accusation are violent — allegedly, DDG aimed to stop Bailey from taking their son in her car as the argument escalated. Yelling out to Bailey asking her to step out of “his car” and calling her the B-word, DDG proceeded to slam Bailey’s face into the steering wheel. The actor was considerably hurt by this and even chipped a tooth.

After the first incident, Bailey reported two more incidents — one in March and one more recently, this weekend. Apparently, DDG confronted Bailey over vacationing with rapper and singer Brent Faiyaz, while Bailey claims to have been on a Mother’s Day trip with her son and her mother.

“I realize that there is no placating Darryl,” Bailey said in a statement attached to the filing obtained by USA Today. “I cannot allow this abuse any longer. I cannot keep living like this. I never know when he is going to demand our son be in his mother’s care and whether I will be subjected to his threats and abuse.”

In addition to the restraining order, Bailey also filed for a cease and desist in order to stop DDG from posting about her or their son, Halo, over social media. The rapper notably, in the past, released a song called ‘Don’t Take My Son,’ following which it may not be a surprise if DDG takes things online. Bailey also requested the judge to be able to take her son to Italy, where she has filming commitments, and is pushing for a more permanent restraining order. The court hearing for this is scheduled for June 4, 2025.

There’s a lot that P. Diddy is in a legal pickle for, and the controversy around his actions have invited a lot of media attention. However, artists are now finding themselves to be caught as collateral in the middle of this chaos.

Most recently, Wale expressed this sentiment taking to X, where he vented about what he considered an inappropriate moment in an interview. The rapper was on a show called The Morning Hustle, where he claims to have been ambushed by inappropriate questions concerning Diddy.

More specifically, the rapper was prompted by the host who said, “Your name was brought up in something related to the Diddy situation,” which left him offended. While Wale, visibly uncomfortable, answered the question — stating he has never had an altercation with Diddy or anybody in the industry, he later took to X to vent his frustration.

Wale calls it “preposterous” when asked if it’s true that Diddy dangled him over a balcony for working with Cassie.

The insinuation was that there actually was some credibility to a rumor according to which Diddy apparently dangled Wale off a balcony, in relation to his work with Cassie. His tweets mentioned how it’s been 3 years since he’s done any press, and that this is the kind of thing that artists have to sadly deal with. What are your thoughts?

Tory Lanez, who is currently serving time in prison in the aftermath of shooting his ex, Megan Thee Stallion, has reportedly been stabbed in prison by a fellow inmate. TMZ reported a source commenting on the matter, stating that while this isn’t the manner in which Tory wanted to get out of prison, it unfortunately is that way.

The rapper sustained serious injuries that required he be hospitalised and in immediate care in Bakersfield, where he is currently being treated. The nature of conflict with the other inmate so far is unclear, but what is clear is the fact that the injuries have been deemed non life threatening and that Tory will go back to the California Correctional Institution in Tehachapi upon obtaining a medical clearance. This is where he has been serving a 10 year sentence for firing at Megan Thee Stallion, a claim he continues to deny from prison.

Thus far, no specific details have been made public regarding the name of Tory’s attacker and the cause of altercation. Stay tuned for more updates on this story.

UPDATE: Tory’s account has released an official statement about it.

The fans kept it ‘Free Thug’ till it was backwards, and now Young Thug is here to stay for good. The rapper, who recently released an ‘Otis’ inspired music video with ‘Money on Money,‘ inspired great faith in his core base. With Future joining hands with Thug, it had to be a classic. But what does that say about the album?

UY Scuti already has a big name to live up to. Matter of fact, the album is named after the biggest known star in the universe, which is exactly what seems to signify Thug’s desire to be the biggest name in hip hop. With eyes on the prize, the release date for the release of the album has now been somewhat revealed: May 9th.

Thug’s girlfriend Mariah The Scientist left a comment on his collab post with GQ, saying “I can’t wait until May 9 pls change the date mr. UY Scuti,” leading to obvious speculation about the release date.

Why is the date significant? Well, May 9th would actually mark 3 years of Young Thug being arrested, so he will definitely be on retribution time. He will also not be alone in this, as the revealed collaborator list has some interesting names in his support.

While not all features have been revealed, it is certain that names like Future, Ken Carson and Mariah The Scientist are definitely on the project. What do you think the sound of his comeback will be like?

There has been much buzz around Young Thug‘s release from prison, which had fans excited for a full length project from the artist. Well, the rollout is in full motion, so fans can expect to hear something real soon.

In fact, the last few days have been especially crucial to the rollout — first, the establishment of a mysterious Instagram account, followed by NBA appearances and music snippets, and now, a Coachella billboard.

Why is that important? Well, the billboard (which was spotted at Coachella) reads, “The universe has been too quiet. Until now. UY Scuti,” making a reference to the largest and brightest star discovered in our universe, which has a volume 5 billion times greater than that of our Sun.

While this might be an obvious indication that Young Thug plans on positioning himself as the biggest star that has ever been in the business of modern music, what may be easily missed is the little date at the bottom right corner of the board. Leaving a space for the exact date, the billboard hints at a 5/25 release — meaning we might get new music from Thugger as early as next month.

But the speculation does not end there. Some fans on X think that the album will release on May 9th, 2025 to be precise. This may very well be the case, considering Young Thug was released from jail on May 9, three years back. The same date this year happens to be on a Friday, a day preferred by many artists and labels as the ideal day for music release.

Now, whether this is just a theory or indeed a fact remains yet to be determined, although it seems like it won’t be long till we find out. Stay tuned for any updates on the story!

There was once a meme about Drake taking on 20 artists at once, soon after Kendrick dissed him.

Kanye is doing kind of the opposite thing; taking shots at Playboi Carti, Jay-Z, Beyoncé and now Kendrick (again). According to Kanye, Kendrick doesn’t even deserve to be in a top 12 rapper slot. He does, however, put Drake in there. Now, is that provocation or facts? Only Ye knows.

Although Ye did go on the record stating he’s jealous (or was jealous) of Drake’s success. Could the same be true for Lamar? It’s a bit of a weird situation as even Kanye seems to have confused metrics for determining influence.

In fact, while he admits Kendrick can out rap most people, he does not deem him worthy of having memorable songs. Baiting-ly, Ye also name dropped Andre 3000, putting him in the same category as Kendrick. With one difference — Andre 3000 actually has songs Kanye can remember; bit of a backhanded compliment? Insult? We’ve lost track.

Aside from his antics though, it is good to get to peep inside Kanye’s brain and not forget the music pioneer he has been. His list, if it doesn’t change with time and convenience, is arguably a solid rap list. And well, if that isn’t entertaining, stay tuned — there will probably be more!

Yella Beezy has been arrested and charged in connection with murder of Dallas rapper Mo3 in 2020.

Markies Conway, known by his stage name Yella Beezy, is alleged to have paid for the killing of rapper Melvin Noble, known as Mo3, according to the indictment. Mo3 was driving northbound on Interstate 35 near Illinois Avenue when he was shot and killed in November 2020. Police said Noble was pursued on foot by a gunman after trying to flee from his vehicle, then shot multiple times. The shooting was captured on traffic cameras and widely circulated.

A Dallas County grand jury returned the indictment this week, alleging that Yella Beezy allegedly hired someone to carry out the shooting.

In relation to the case, two persons have already been charged. In February 2021, Kewon Dontrell White was indicted after initially being charged with murder. Devin Maurice Brown was also charged with aiding in the attack’s planning.

Yella Beezy rose to fame with his 2017 hit ‘That’s On Me’ which peaked on the Billboard Hot 100. As of Thursday evening, he remains in the Dallas County Jail with no bond being set yet.

Erykah Badu, a living legend among RnB and hip hop musicians, is back in the booth.

Her upcoming album will mark the neo-soul pioneer’s much welcome return to the music industry, with The Alchemist taking over the production duties for the entire project. The news broke recently, in an exclusive artist interview with Billboard, where Badu spoke about her history with music, her relationship with live performances, and her roots as a theatre artist.

Speaking to Billboard about her journey with music and rap, as well as having children who make music, Badu remarked how ,“rap is the people. Hip-hop is the people. It’s the folks. It’s the tribe. I have the luxury of experiencing having children who I watch grow up and love and encourage very much, and I cannot separate them when I see artists who are that age coming up. That’s how they feel. They are continuing the tradition.” This is not at all surprising, for Badu herself was once a young musician who broke the norms of studio work, pioneering some of the ways in which modern bedroom musicians work.

While Badu did not reveal much about the project with Alchemist, she did touch up on how the album is taking most of her time — that it is a project being worked upon diligently and excitedly. So far, no date has been announced.

The last time we had Badu excited resulted in classic projects like Baduism and New Amerykah Part One (4th World War) and the birth of the term neo-soul, which revolutionised fusion music so much so, that it continues to inspire modern popular music. Will the upcoming project do the same? Quite likely seeing as Alchemist is at the helm of sonic innovation with collaborators like Larry June, Kendrick Lamar and ScHoolboy Q.

Kanye West, who we saw going at everybody in the last few hours on twitter (including Kendrick Lamar now), may have done it as part of an odd release strategy. Because after the pandemonium and the madness he sparked online, he has now tweeted the links to his album, BULLY, as well as a film to go along with it.

In fact, Kanye has leaked links for different versions of the film — which, featuring his son Saint West, opens in a wrestling ring. In it, in a long monochromatic sequence, fans can see Ye’s son beating up wrestlers with a fake hammer in hand — “bullying” these professional fighters.

The film is soundtracked by songs from the album, which itself is a scattered amalgamation of iconic influences: from MF DOOM to Daft Punk. It even features Playboi Carti, who recently released his latest project, MUSIC. As expected, the Ye album itself doesn’t pay much heed to genre conventions and stands on its own sonic identity with confidence.

As such, the three versions of the film put out by Kanye are titled the ‘Screening Version,’ the ‘Post Hype Version’ and the ‘Post Post Hype Version’ — which aren’t on YouTube like you’d expect. Instead they’re on a website called frame.io, behind a password wall.

All you have to do is enter the relevant password for each file in order to be able to access the media. These files are also downloadable, for free at the moment. Here are the passwords for each link:

If you don’t live under a rock, you are probably up to date with Kanye’s antics online. At this point, it’s not just old news, it’s worse — it is regular. That said, this time, Kanye has found a rather odd target to be at the end of his hate tweeting: Tyler, The Creator.

Tyler has pushed boundaries time and again with his approach to genre defying production, unrestrained self expression, and finely crafted lyrics. In fact, not many people were in disagreement when Tyler called himself ‘the biggest out the city after Kenny (Kendrick Lamar)’ as a fact.

If you’ve heard Chromakopia, you can probably attest to this sentiment as truth. The album was sonically ahead of its time, deeply rooted in history and culture, with bold expressions of Tyler’s sexuality and eccentricity all at once.

Apparently, that’s not something that impresses Ye. Taking to twitter (and just as easily to the Caps Lock On button), Ye proceeded to trash Tyler’s impact on hip hop, tarnishing his reputation as a copy of…well, Ye himself. He said that in the context of his last album.

Aside from the imitation allegations, Kanye also taunted Tyler as an artist that checks all boxes except the core requirement of having a memorable song or verse. Quite a brutal way of attributing everything to the personal brand and not the music itself. Well, what do you think?

Playboi Carti and Kanye West have a long history of working together, which shocked fans when the mogul did not appear on Carti’s eagerly awaited album, MUSIC.

Ye took to Twitter and revealed he did not feature on the album, claiming that “Jewish businesses” kept him from collaborating on the project. “Jewish business forced Carti to not put me on the album,” he tweeted. “Same thing happened with Trav.”

During a Las Vegas performance in November, Carti told the crowd that Kanye has been a big influence, saying “Shout out to my na Kanye… He over here making beats and sht. That album gonna be crazy, I can’t wait to show y’all n*as.”

Carti’s new album arrived on March 14, 2025, containing 30 tracks and featuring the likes of Travis Scott, The Weeknd, Kendrick Lamar, Skepta, Future, Lil Uzi Vert, Ty Dolla Sign, and Young Thug.

A few hours ago, Kanye also revealed that he has a whole project with Carti in the works called “Carti Ye” which will now never come out. He shared a print of the artwork too which is a photo taken of the two in Miami in December, 2023 after a Vultures listening event.

In related news, Kanye also revealed the artwork for his new album Bully, which is a Swastika sign used by Nazis.
