AHH Stray News: John Legend Talks Kanye, Denzel Curry’s Artshow, Snoop & Martha Renewed,

John Legend
John Legend was concerned with Kanye West’s behavior right before the rapper had what appears to be some sort of medical event, during two shows in California over the weekend. As previously reported, Kanye had a meltdown during his stop in Inglewood, California and launched into a rambling diatribe about the media, radio, Jay Z, Beyonce, Donald Trump and more. He subsequently canceled his stop in Inglewood, and was hospitalized shortly after that. John Legend told “CBS This Morning” that he noticed troubling signs in Kanye’s behavior just before his meltdown occurred. “We were with Kim [Kardashian] actually, you know, right before all of that,” John Legend said this morning (November 22). “I was concerned by what I saw, so hopefully he’s getting some rest and some time to figure things out.”

21 Savage Explains Why He Started Rapping

(AllHipHop News) 21 Savage is one of the breakout rap stars of 2016.

His Savage Mode EP with producer Metro Boomin included the popular tracks “No Heart” and “X’ featuring Future.

According to 21, he spent time selling drugs before he made the turn toward becoming a recording artist.

The Atlanta native discussed why he decided to pick up the microphone in a new interview with Fader.

“I wasn’t like, ‘I got shot, I’m finna be a rapper.’ Sh-t. I just started taking my g###### dope money and spending it on studio time … I liked how the studio looked. The vibes. The cookies and sh-t,” explained Savage. “But I wasn’t rapping cause I was like, ‘Damn, I can get rich and famous.’ I was gonna get rich regardless. I was rapping ‘cause there wasn’t sh-t else to do.”

Metro Boomin shared why he believes 21 Savage has made a mark on the industry.

The man behind hits such as “Karate Chop,” “Jumpman,” and “Father Stretch My Hands Pt. 1″ thinks 21’s attitude is what separates him from his contemporaries.

“Rap’s way too friendly. That’s why I f-ck with him,” said Metro. “It’s not buddy buddy, with five, six n-ggas on every song. It’s ‘F-ck that n-gga.’ If you ever see 21 Savage do a song with a rapper, it’s because he got paid the way he wanted to get paid.”

Nelly Wants That Old Thing Back!

(AllHipHop Rumors) Although it has appeared that all is well with Nelly and his boo, Miss Jackson, it looks like Nelly may actually want that old thing back!

For whatever reason, Nelly was spotted singing his ex-girlfriend, Ashanti’s song, “Always On Time.”

I mean, sometimes people are mature enough to move on as friends after a breakup, and after a relationship between artists, some are still able to acknowledge that their exes had hits and classics.

Perhaps Nelly was just showing love. We wonder how Miss Jackson felt about this?

But then again, who wouldn’t want Ashanti back? Have you seen her? Maybe Nelly will be lucky enough to get them to menage it up a little.

But no seriously, someone come get Nelly! LOL!

40 Glocc Clowns Game After $7 Million Sexual Assault Verdict

(AllHipHop News) The beef between 40 Glocc and Game is still raging on, after almost four years of feuding.

40 Glocc made fun of a recent verdict by a jury, which found Game liable for sexual assault and awarded the victim, Priscilla Rainey, $7.1 million.

“YOU BETTER APPEAL THAT S##T QUICK… EVERY DOLLAR U LOSE THATS LESS BODYGUARDS/SECURITY .. AND ON ALL MY DEAD HOMIEZ RESTING IN PEACE… WE GONE CATCH UP TOO [Sic] YOU.. UNTILL[ Sic] THEN GET IT OUT YA ASS DOJA MAKE THAT MONEY BACK,”40 Glocc posted to his Instagram.

The two Cali rappers of been going back-and-forth, mostly on social media since July of 2012, after an incident at a pool party in Los Angeles.

The men are members of rival gangs and when they ended up at a mansion party together 40 Glocc, who is a Crip, claims that Game, who is a Blood, and at least a dozen men surrounded him, with guns drawn, assaulted him and posted the incident to social media.

Although 40 Glocc left the police out of the matter, he filed a $4.5 million civil suit against Game.

In December of 2015, a Los Angeles Superior Court judge ordered Game to pay 40 Glocc $3,000 for the assault.

Twista Writes Open Letter To His Friend Kanye West

Chicago natives Kanye West and Twista go way back. In light of Kanye’s

I woke up this morning and i felt the need to prayer for those who might not have a voice to pray. The music business is a very stressful business to be in, i been doing this for a very long time and believe me when i say it takes a very strong minded person to go thru the daily shyt that you have to go thru. “the smile of a clown” a clown gets paid to make other people happy, even if that clown might be going through a mental break down, that clown can’t let the public see him cry or else he might loose the only job that helps him take care of his family.

the music business is all about profit and elevation, the more hotter you are the more money you make, the longer your career lasts. the only catch to that is no one stays hot forever, no one can be new over and over again, so now you have the pressure from your fans, record label, friends,family, bill collectors, and the media to keep making hot music and never get old. take a min and think about that, can you imagine the pressure and responsibility a person gotta have not only to be successful but also to stay successful too?

So today I pray for my man Kanye, and i ask everyone to do the same too, wanting help doesn’t show weakness, it actually shows character and it lets people know you too are you human and you too have feelings too. when the provider needs help, who can the provider turn too? When you have sooo many people that depend on you everyday, who can you turn to just to vent out to or just breath too without feeling weak to?

No one is perfect when it comes down to living life in general, so this morning i pray my homie. I pray that Kanye finds that one thing that money and fame can’t buy. #APeaceofMind Chicago Loves you bro, … Twista

Did The Illuminati Get At Kanye?

Remember when the Illuminati was at every awards show? Album covers? Handshakes? Colors? I remember those days fondly. Well, the Illuminati has been a bit quiet lately, but they are all back in the rumors today.

I DID NOT CREATE THIS. IT IS FLOATING ONLINE LIKE A BUOY IN THE OCEAN:

TIMELINE OF EVENTS

Paris

3 Oct 2016, Kim Kardashian robbed, held at gunpoint in sophisticated attack. Months before this Trump on record as saying Kanye loves him and Trump loves Kanye. This was a warning shot to Kanye. Scooter Braun (his agent) and Live Nation (tour organisers) have been keep his mouth shut until the elections are over.

Kanye has been on the Trump Train and silenced by the MSM since before September 2015. It was public knowledge in celeb circles but nobody would report it. From Trump himself He’s probably had this sort of threat hanging over him and his family’s safety the entire time.

THIS WEEK

San Jose

Kanye speaks out against Hillary Clinton, false media reporting, tech companies like Facebook manipulating algorithms.
Sacramento

Kanye makes broad attacks against the media’s endemic institutionalised corruption. From radio airtime being bought to inorganically grow songs to awards shows gifting awards to get performers to show up to artists being too scared to change the system and becoming a part of it so the gravy train keeps rolling

Kanye repeatedly said he feared assassination attempts for speaking out.

This is what Kanye said at the concert. The TLDR and Full Transcript in the link. This is NOT A RANT. He’s speaking coherently and saying a lot of reasonable, nuanced things. The user who posted this comment was banned for it.

Selfie with fan (video). This is his mental state leaving the concert, seems 100% sane and in control.

Kanye created an art installation on instagram. His latest creative direction collaborator, artist Elli Russel Lintz announced the project. Mainstream media is trying to portray this as a crazed episode when it’s a pre-announced art installation project posting an early 2000s Margiela lookbook.

DO NOT BELIEVE their lies about his mental health. He’s perfectly sane. The DailyMail and TMZ right now are the worst offenders for slandering him.

LA

Concert cancelled, then full 22 remaining tour dates cancelled. Shows make $1.5m/each plus 500k-705k in merch each. There’s a lot of money being thrown at the right people to pull this tour.

An hour ago Kanye was hospitalised against will “for his own protection”. Taken in handcuffs despite insisting he’s fine. AGAINST HIS WILL.

Cite exhaustion, sleep deprivation and overwork as their reasons.

Kanye’s Mental Health

After the death of his mother he’s been forced onto drugs (Lexapro) to numb him when he was going through perfectly normal grief. Side effects include a manic state if you come off it which he does frequently because these anti-depressants literally kill all emotion, sex drive, creativity etc. They’re trying and failing to control him.

They’ve known he’s difficult to control and been drugging him for quite some time. As a serious thinker and savvy business man aside from being a genius creative he has deep insider knowledge of the MSM manipulation. They’ve been trying to silence him and sideline him for a while now.

Do not believe for a second that he’s mentally ill. Listen to his speeches, read the transcripts. He’s finally stopped caring about the consequences and authorities. He’s simply telling us the truth under a lot of risk.

SAFETY RISK

He knows where the bodies are buried. He’s been a part of the global elite for a long time and hates every bit of lies he encounters. He rolls in tech circles, fashion circles, Hamptons & NYC wealth circles and in LA media circles. There is a HUGE brewing scandal about to emerge about the LA entertainment industry’s dirty little secret and he’s probably the one they fear most will expose it.

His wife was almost murdered by a sophisticated group of attackers. He’s been forcibly committed for speaking out against the web of lies.

THIS IS HUGE. SPREAD THIS WIDE. WE NEED EYES ON KANYE. VIGILANCE OF THE MASSES WILL KEEP HIM SAFE.

TOO MANY PEOPLE HAVE BEEN ASSASSINATED IN RECENT MONTHS. 2 of Assange’s lawyers – his London lawyer just decided to jump in front of a train a month ago, the staffer shot metres from his house, the trail of bodies in the 90s.

Kanye’s personality and background

Before you go on, this is the sort of man Kanye is. Fearless leader, amazing instincts, risks his own life for his fans without a second thought.

Do not believe the angry black man narrative the MSM try to push to discredit him.

His parents are both professors. He’s been awarded multiple art scholarships out of highschool. He began his music production career coding in 7th grade and wanted to make a soundtrack for his video game. He worked 10 years in Parisian fashion houses as apprentice and was personally tutored the head of the Masters at Central St Martins (the elite school of fashion, has tighter entry requirements than Oxford, Cambridge, Harvard and Yale. Alexander McQueen is one of the many famous students). Kanye owns multiple patents for innovations. He’s an incredibly bright man.

Never fails to speak his mind even if it hurts his career if he thinks he’s doing the right thing. His “controversies” include: speaking against homophobia in the industry, speaking against Bush’s botching of Katrina, speaking against rigged award shows, speaking against the lack of integrity in the media, speaking against the price gouging and elitism of the high fashion world.

WHAT YOU CAN DO

#PrayforYe hashtag, full of shills wishing for his death and general abuse. Spread concern for his safety and turn the message positive. People can be inhumane pigs, don’t let them get away with it. If he isn’t kept safe nobody in the inner circle will ever break rank again. He’s fighting despite his wife, children and his own safety being in jeopardy.

Don’t let the MSM spread the narrative of him being stupid or crazy. The man has unparalleled success in every field he has ever entered from music to art to fashion to business.

Don’t let the MSM push a narrative of him being an elitist. His entire career has been dedicated to his fans and shunning personal gain to preserve integrity.

Don’t let the MSM push a narrative of him being delusional. They did it with Taylor Swift incident. He’s so paranoid of the MSM he films every call and exposed her lies with video proof. Same story with Zuckerberg. Zuckerberg asked Kanye’s friend Ebony Schiller to arrange a dinner with him. They discussed Kanye’s business vision (DONDA – named after his mother). Kanye has a lot of tech interests, he’s been a coder since the 7th grade. Zuck promised to fund him and then pulled out all of a sudden which caused the rift. Zuck was the one that approached Kanye re Donda and then welched on the financing.

Expect slander, fight against it – MSM will inevitably spread stories about potential divorce, they’ll accuse him of violence, they’ll fabricate fake stories of manic episodes, they’ve already lied about the instragram installation and his mental state leaving the Sacramento concert.

Is 21 Savage Trolling Tyga?

(AllHipHop Rumors) Hmmmmm is it disrepectful to make another rapper’s girlfriend your social media crush? Apparently 21 Savage doesn’t think so.

21 Savage caught fans off guard when he flirted with Kylie Jenner on Twitter. The rapper posted a photo of the reality star-turned-entrepreneur with a series of heart-eyed emojis.

It seems that a few artists have had a thing for Kylie. Whoever thought the youngest sister would upstage Kim Kardashian or become a close second as far as popularity.

Apparently Kylie Jenner’s topless photos with her boyfriend rapper Tyga got 21 Savage’s attention.

Kylie appears to really love her man Tyga even through all of his career and financial woes. We can’t see her creeping out to entertain 21, but you never know!

Sacramento Radio Stations Yank Kanye West’s Music From The Air

(AllHipHop News) The backlash over Kanye West’s botched “Saint Pablo” tour stops in Sacramento and Inglewood continues, as one local radio station has vowed to never play another record by the rapper.

Kanye, who checked into a Los Angeles hospital, just one day after he gave a serious tongue lashing to executives in radio during the “Saint Pablo” stop in Sacramento, where Yeezy also called out Jay Z, Beyonce, President Barack Obama and the media in general.

Kanye’s rant at the Golden 1 Center did not sit well with JayMarzz, the Music Director of Hot 103.5 in Sacramento, who made the announcement on air.

“Alright, everybody came out to have a great time Saturday night. A lot of fans in the building, a lot of people had spent a lot of hard earned money, bro, a lot of hard earned time time, time, time,” Justin Marshall said. “Time is something we can’t get back. Everyone can get a refund back – but you can’t get your time back. You can’t get the emotion back that you were gonna put into that show, to watch someone that you love – the person that you buy their music, to perform.”

According to reports, local Hip-Hop station V101 FM has also banned Kanye’s music for the next two weeks, to gauge the audience’s response to a lack of Kanye on the air.

Lil Uzi Vert & Gucci Mane’s Collaborative Project May Be Out Sooner Than We Think

(AllHipHop Rumors) Lil Uzi Vert certainly grabbed the attention of his fans when he teased his upcoming collaborative project with Gucci Mane.

Lil Uzi Vert has credited Gucci as one of his inspirations, and has now had the chance to link with Guwop post his prison release.

The eccentric Philly rapper and the trap legend have recorded a good number of tracks, and are preparing to share the joint project, ‘1017 vs The World’, with everyone very soon. In fact rumor has it that it may be out by December.

Lil Uzi Vert recently took to Instagram to preview a new banger off of the mixtape. The clip shows him rapping along to the clip and Gucci’s ad-libs can be heard at the end of the snippet.

Guwop has had a busy year from shows, specials and A-list collaborations with Drake to Future and more. Lil Uzi Vert has been heating up this year with his, ‘The Perfect Luv’ mixtape.

Are you here for a joint effort from these two? In your opinion, how is it sounding so far?

Ray J Disses Kim Kardashian and Her Whole Family On New Song “Famous” With Chris Brown

(AllHipHop News) It looks like Kanye West’s troubles just got a little bit worse, thanks to Ray J and Chris Brown.

The two singers just dropped a new collaborative track called “Famous,” which takes swipes at Kanye’s wife, Kim Kardashian West.

Ray J makes references to he and Kim Kardashian’s infamous sextape, which is still being hawked by Vivid and is even available in virtual reality.

“She f##ked me for fame, look in her eyes/She was the first one to sign on the line/ She was the real one to plan it all out/ Look at the family, they walk around proud/ All because she had my d**k in her mouth”

The pair’s new song “Famous” is a spin on Kanye’s own track of the same name, in which he boasts of making pop Taylor Swift famous after his infamous, drunken rant over Beyonce at the 2012 VMA Awards??

Chris Brown also boasts of making one of his ex-girlfriend’s famous in his verse as well.

“I know that you cry when you’re goin’ to sleep every damn night/ Damn lights and I ain’t gon’ practice/ I f##k around and make another one”

Ray J and Chris Brown’s song “Famous” is taken from Ray J’s up coming out from Raydemption.

The song was released on the heels of Kanye West being hospitalized, after a series of bizarre rants at his California stops of his “Saint Pablo Tour,” which has since been canceled.

Take a listen below:

Rae Sremmurd’s “Black Beatles” Spends At Second Week At #1

(AllHipHop News) Rappers Rae Sremmurd have landed a second week at the top of the U.S. pop charts with their ‘Mannequin Challenge’ anthem “Black Beatles.”

The Gucci Mane collaboration, which soundtracks many of the celebrity freeze-offs posted online, keeps The Chainsmokers’ former number one “Closer” pegged to two on the new Billboard Hot 100 countdown, while The Weeknd’s “Starboy” is steady at three.

Ariana Grande’s “Side to Side,” which she performed at the American Music Awards with Nicki Minaj on Sunday night – before landing Artist of the Year honors, jumps into the top five at four, while Twenty One Pilots, who also performed at the AMAs, round out the top five with “Heathens.”

The song “Black Beatles” can credit its popularity to the #MannequinChallenge, where social media users post videos of people freezing in place as “Black Beatles” plays in the background.

The hit single was produced by Mike Will Made It.

Kim Mathers Gets Probation Over 2015 DUI/Suicide Attempt

(AllHipHop News) Eminem’s ex-wife Kim Mathers has been sentenced to probation, after she was busted for DUI in October 15, of 2015.

Kim appeared in court earlier today, and was sentenced to one year of probation, received a $900 fine, and she must undergo additional counseling and drug testing.

The whole ordeal started on October 7, 2015, after Kim decided to drive drunk in Cadillac Escalade, after she consumed a fifth of Malibu rum and did drugs.

She also told police that she crashed her the escalade on purpose, during a suicide attempt.

“I apologized immensely. I did not even expect to make it through that, and I told (police) that I tried to do this on purpose. I’m so sorry,” Kim Mathers said during a radio interview on Detroit’s “Mojo in the Morning” after the crash.

Kim also said her famous ex-husband Eminem has been supportive through the entire ordeal.

“He’s been real supportive,” Kim said during the interview. “We’re really close friends. We’re just trying to raise our kids together and make it as normal for them as possible.”

Future Is Breaking Up Happy Homes Again

(AllHipHop Rumors) Well, as you know your “favorite” rapper Future doesn’t have the best track record with relationships or respecting other people’s relationships and happy homes, so it’s no surprise that he and Scottie Pippen’s wife, Larsa Pippen, have fueled their fling rumors again.

Once again the two looked like more than just friends as Pippen helped the Atlanta rapper celebrate his 33rd birthday in Beverly Hills over the weekend.

Larsa attended the party with Kourtney Kardashian, and according to sources, stood close to Future for most of the night.

Last month rumors began to swirl that the reason Scottie Pippen was filing for divorce from Larsa was because she was hooking up with Future on the low. She was allegedly jumping on Future’s private jet, and traveling to various cities with him.

It didn’t help that Future also posted a photo with the caption, “She’s mine nowwwwwww” amid the drama last month.

Although Larsa claimed that her and Future are just friends, even we’ve heard that Future was hitting that. Carry on!

(AllHipHop News) Details are emerging about Kanye West’s mental condition, just hours after he was checked into a local Los Angeles hospital, after canceling the remaining dates of his “Saint Pablo” tour.
