Right before Kanye West took to the Saturday Night Live stage last night he tweeted out some stuff that included that he is actually $53 million in personal debt. Now that sounds crazy on its own but what news came out today from Ye is even crazier. Now there is no telling at the moment if any of this is true but today Kanye West took to his twitter to tweet out “Mark Zuckerberg invest 1 billion dollars into Kanye West ideas” followed by the tweet “after realizing he is the greatest living artist of all time.” Without word from the Facebook boss we have no idea if this is true or not yet but the truth will come out soon enough so stay tuned.

[UPDATE]

It looks like Kanye West did not receive any money from Mark Zuckerberg but now he has taken to twitter once again to publicly ask Mark for his help asking everyone to try and get his attention so he can talk to him.  Ye even goes as far as to say that it is his time of need and all of these business ventures have cost him tons hopefully he can bounce back and get the debt taken care of.

Tory Lanez is a fellow rapper/singer from Toronto, Canada and he is known to throw tons of shade a Drake. The most recent case was when Tory was trying to dismiss the way Drake calls Toronto the “6” saying that no one calls it that. Drake obviously heard about this and fired back on his recent hit single “Summer Sixteen” where he raps “All you boys in the new Toronto wanna be me a little” which is a reference to Tory’s mixtapes title which is “The New Toronto”. Now it seems Lanez had accepted defeat because in a brand new interview with Revolt during the NBA All-Star Weekend he said that he would not be responding to Drake at all even going as far as to say “Drake could diss me 20,000 times, and I’d never diss him, I’m a fan… I have no negativity on my side. All blessings to that man.” Now this is really insane because he was not talking like this before Drake dissed him. Check out the clip below.

According to DJ Khaled aka the king of Snapchat he will be dropping French Montana’s brand new mixtape on his radio show this coming Friday. Khaled had French in some of his clips confirming that the mixtape is going to drop and he will be the special guest for his radio show. There is no other information about the mixtape at this time but the fans could always use some new free music to keep them satisfied.

Kanye West just took things to another level for an SNL performance just last night and now it appears that Future is going to be heading to the same stage in a month. Future just released a surprise album called “EVOL” and has been having a very good year and is set to be on the worlds stage on SNL on March 5^th which is pretty impressive since his music is only ever about doing drugs and he can be very hard to understand. But we’ll see what happens in a month and hopefully he pulls it off.

The way the city of Toronto reps Drake you would of thought that he already had a key to the city but that was not the case until today. Today it was announced that Drake will be receiving a key to the city by the cities current mayor, John Tory. John posted a video today where he explained why Drake is worthy of the honor and you can’t really argue any of it.

Tomorrow I’ll give out the Key to the City. This is why. @Drakehttps://t.co/dfdIVQW3yk

Kanye West has just announced today that he will be joined by Young Thug on SNL this coming Saturday for a performance. The song they will be performing will be Ye’s new track “Highlights” which is on his brand new album “The Life Of Pablo”. Ye actually made the announcement during the Yeezy 3 show along with the announcement of his new video game.

Joey Bada$$ has been caught on camera punching a cameraman just outside of Kanye West’s Yeezy 3 show in Madison Square Garden. On his way out of the show Joey got into it with one of the cameramen which was started because the cameraman touch Joey on his head which instantly caused him to react by throwing hands until the cops put a stop to it. This is all bad because it whenever something like this happens a lawsuit soon follows.

Chris Brown has seen his share of court rooms but it looks like he may be right back in one because the lady that says she was punched by him in Vegas is back. The D.A. of Nevada had already come to the conclusion that there just wasn’t enough evidence to hit Chris with misdemeanor charges. The woman, Liziane Gutierrez is now making it a civil lawsuit still sticking to her story that Chris Brown actually punched her in the face and stole her cellphone with charges like battery, theft and defamation would not be a good thing for Chris if this is now taken seriously but we’ll have to wait and see what happens. Keep it right here for any updates.

Kanye West finally took to twitter today to announce the official tracklist for his album “TLOP” and finally let everyone in on what it actually stands for. So the album will have 10 tracks and will be called The Life Of Pablo. It is still unknown what exactly it is supposed to mean but it will surely be cleared up sooner or later. The album will be premiered in its entirety tomorrow during Kanye’s Yeezy 3 show at the Madison Square Garden but will also be streamed live on Title.

Just yesterday it was found out that Ciara had filed a $15 million lawsuit again Future because he called her a bad mother over social media and in interviews. TMZ is now reporting that Future may be looking to counter her lawsuit with one of his own stating that Ciara is just a guilty of slandering him in public. But it will be much more tough for Future to prove because his evidence is in a song of her titled “I Bet” and she doesn’t use his name. So for right now it looks like Future is going to hold of on his lawsuit until he know exactly what her lawsuit consist of.

A great way to know a new Drake album is about to drop in his hometown of Toronto is when you start seeing Drakes billboards going up. As we all know by now Drake next album “Views From The 6ix” is set to drop in March and now he has billboards promoting the album going up all over the city right before the big NBA All-Star events. This will get him a ton of extra spotlight even though he really doesn’t even need it but it really does show who is at the top.

Martin Shkreli has been in the news a lot lately because of his wild antics like buying the $2 million Wu-Tang album and threatening Ghostface Killah but now he is being sued by an artist. The artist who goes by the name of Jason Koza had some of his artwork included in the packaging of the album and is suing for improper use of his works. The artwork was his rendition of every single member of the Clan and originally only thought his designs would be used on their website but they actually sent them with the album. It is unknown how much he is asking for but he wants profits for copyright infringement. What makes it look like he can actually win is the fact that he sent an email asking if they would skype him so they can talk about how they can use his art but apparently that never happened so he could win this.

Bobby Shmurda has been in jail waiting on a trail for more then a year since way way back in December of 2014. He has been denied bail 7 times in that time and now he will be waiting even longer for a trail. The new judge in the case, Abraham Clott has chosen to split all of the men up who were involved and give them trails on different days which lead to Bobby getting his trial pushed back to May 11^th which has to feel like forever when you have been waiting this long.

Legendary artist Nas will be this week’s special guest on DJ Khaled’s brand new radio show “We the Best Radio”. Khaled kicked off the show with a bang last week with his exclusive premiere of Futures brand new album EVOL. This week he has Nas on the show which he announced via his Snapchat which he is pretty much known for nowadays. The radio show airs on Friday at 8PM eastern and is sure to be a good episode.

While on the BBC radio show called 1Xtra Will Smith talked about a bunch of stuff going on in his life right now which is always exciting to hear about. It got real interesting when he talked about linking back up with former Bad Boys co-star Martin Lawrence saying “I saw Martin [Lawrence] a few weeks ago, I haven’t seen him in about two years. We looked at each other. We hugged. In that moment, we knew we were making another Bad Boys. We’re definitely doing another one.” Hopefully it really does happen though and we get to enjoy it in the near future.
