(AllHipHop News) Fans of Kanye West were disappointed when the rap star canceled the remaining dates of the “Saint Pablo Tour” last year.

The “Famous” rhymer is looking to make up the dates he missed, according to reports.

“Kanye wants to finish the tour. He loves his show,” a source informed E! News. “He wants everyone in the world to see it.”

The website claims multiple sources confirmed the timing is too soon for Kanye to head back out on the road.

West cut dates from the “Saint Pablo” trek before he was admitted to a medical facility for exhaustion and paranoia.

The hospitalization followed Ye giving an erratic rant which included the Chicago native blasting his longtime collaborator Jay Z.

However, reports began circulating last week that Kanye and Jay were discussing possibly reuniting to create more music together.

“Kanye has a few surprise projects coming up that involves music and concerts in the spring and summer,” an E! source stated. “Plus he is working on his fashion line and some collaborations.”

E! is the network that airs Keeping Up With The Kardashians, the reality show starring Kanye West’s wife Kim Kardashian.

Soulja Boy Charged With Possessing a Cop’s Stolen Gun and a Banned Assault Weapon

(AllHipHop News) It looks like the guns Soulja Boy was flashing on social media were very real.

Earlier today, the rap star was hit with two felony gun possession charges, after the police found the weapons during a raid of his Hollywood Hills home in December.

Soulja Boy has been charged with being a felon in possession of an assault weapon and being a felon in possession of a firearm.

To make matters worse, the rapper was also slapped with a charge for receiving stolen property.

Police claim one of the guns was allegedly stolen from a police car.

Additionally, one of the weapons Soulja Boy had in the house was a mini-Draco AR-15, which TMZ.com reports is illegal for anyone to own in the state of California.

Prior to his arrest, Soulja Boy had been flashing weapons and threatening various people over social media.

Some of his targets included Lil Yachty, Shia LaBeouf, Young Thug, and others.

In October of 2013, a rapper named Skrill Dilly sued Soulja Boy, claiming the “Crank That” rapper allegedly put out on him, which was interfering with the relationship he had with his young daughter.

The next month, Soulja Boy took to social media and threatened to put a $100,000 bounty on the head of Chicago rapper Rico Recklezz.

Someone eventually called tipline and accused the rapper of threatening people on social media, leading to December’s raid.

Ironically, Soulja Boy recorded a song dedicated to the gun titled “Draco” with Famous Dex.

(AllHipHop News) Comedian Aziz Ansari used his monologue on this week’s Saturday Night Live to address the new President of the United States.

“I’m sure there’s a lot of people that voted for Trump the same way a lot of people listen to the music of Chris Brown,” said Ansari. “It’s like, ‘Hey man, I’m just here for the tunes. I don’t know about that other stuff. I just like the dancing and the music. I don’t condone the extracurriculars.'”

The star of Netflix’s Master of None added, “Donald Trump is basically the Chris Brown of politics, and ‘Make America Great Again’ is his ‘these hoes ain’t loyal.'”

Brown fired back at Ansari on Instagram.

He wrote in a video caption:

F-CK NO!!!!!! Somebody tell ALADDIN HOP OFF MY D-CK! ?.

F### NO!!!!!! Somebody tell ALADDIN HOP OFF MY DICK! ?.

(AllHipHop News) Last fall, news broke that Jhené Aiko filed for divorce from her music producer husband Oladipo “Dot da Genius” Omishore.

There was speculation that Aiko split with Dot because of a rumored romantic relationship with her Twenty88  collaborator Big Sean.

Previously, Aiko denied she cheated on her spouse with Sean.

The “Maniac” singer doubled down on that denial while speaking with The Breakfast Club.

“No, I did not. I didn’t,” responded Aiko when Charlamagne Tha God commented about her supposed infidelity. “Don’t believe… you of all people should know.”

While Aiko only referred to Sean as her friend and group mate, the two artists appeared to confirm they were a couple on social media and at industry events.

Aiko has named Sean her “MCM (Man Crush Monday),” and Sean has referred to Aiko as his “WCW (Woman Crush Wednesday).”

Dot Da Genius is reportedly seeking spousal support from Aiko.

Canadian Beef! A Very Salty Justin Bieber Disses The Weeknd

By: ClassicOne Updated Category: Rumors

(AllHipHop Rumors) It is very clear that Justin Bieber is very salty, and he is still not over his ex, Selena Gomez.

Ever since news hit that The Weeknd was dating Bieber’s ex, Bieber has not been here for it!

Justin Bieber is BIG mad as he recently held nothing back when dissing The Weeknd!

It’s so funny to see celebrities, especially men, in their feeling about their exes!

TMZ caught up with Justin Bieber at Delilah in WeHo, and they couldn’t resist their petty! They immediately asked Justin could he listen to a Weeknd song, to which Justin replied saying,

“Hell no I can’t listen to a Weekend song; that sh-ts wack.”

The Weeknd and Selena Gomez broke the internet when photos of them being intimate hit the net. Apparently Justin Bieber couldn’t handle it.

Justin Bieber and Selena previously dated for a while, so we guess it makes sense why Biebz is in his feelings.

I just want to know at what point did Weeknd’s music become wack to him???? After he found out that he was smahsing Gomez??? I’m sure he didn’t feel that way when he and The Weeknd were both on Drake’s “Trust Issues” remix!

The Weeknd doesn’t seem to be to bothered as he allegedly feels that everyone has moved on and needs to be mature adults.

Bieber could always get with Bella, The Weeknd’s ex! You know a very troubled Gomez aint shhhh either as she was bff’s with The Weeknd’s ex’s sister, Gigi.

Cheer up Biebs! It will get better.

Carl Dix Says Donald Trump Runs A Fascist Regime And This Is How To Stop It!

By: yourfavenightmare Updated Category: Editorial

Carl Dix: “There Is An Urgent Need — And There IS Still Time In These Next Few Days — To Prevent This Fascist Regime From Ruling”

My Photo

On January 20, something many said couldn’t happen here did happen – a fascist regime was inaugurated: the illegitimate Trump-Pence regime. This was met by thousands of people who took to the streets in Washington, DC, and elsewhere in protest on the day of the inauguration, and by millions of women and men who marched in DC, and in cities across the country and around the world on the very next day. This outpouring is very welcome, and these millions are totally justified in their fear, anguish and outrage at what Trump-Pence rule would mean. Everybody who hates what Donald Trump represents needs to get in the streets and stay in the streets. The point now isn’t just to let this fascist regime know we aren’t going anywhere – we need to send them somewhere, to remove them from power. The Trump-Pence regime would be more than the sum of the many abuses and outrages it plans to perpetrate.  If it isn’t prevented from ruling, it will be, as a regime, FASCIST — a blatant dictatorship relying on open terror and violence, committing atrocities against groups of people identified as “enemies,” “undesirables,” or “dangers to society.”  A Trump-Pence regime would not only be illegitimate; if allowed to go forward it could be catastrophic for humanity. Trump has already made this clear with his fascist inaugural address, and by removing from the White House web site any mentions of climate change, women’s rights, LGBTQ rights, and more in less than 24 hours. Protest is important, but more than protest is needed.  We must actually go all out, now, to prevent this regime from ruling.

We must stay in the streets, and we must become millions.  Everybody needs to be part of this.  Reach out to family and friends.  If you go to school reach out to fellow students.  If you belong to a church, reach out to your congregation.  If you’re in a labor union, reach out to fellow union members.  If you’re part of social media networks, reach out to everyone you know.

These next few days will set a tone and we must NOT underestimate our ability to affect change right now.  So call on everyone to flood the streets.  Through staying in the streets and disrupting business as usual, over the next few days and into this coming week, we could together grow to millions and bring into being a major political crisis, to which all the factions in the power structure would have to react.

 Stay in the streets, in DC and everywhere else. -Carl Dix In the name of humanity, we refuse to accept a fascist America. Refusefascism.org
