NBA Legend John Salley Says Kanye West Is “Brilliant” and “Crazy” For Meeting With Donald Trump

(AllHipHop News) Four-time NBA Champion John Salley recently weighed in on Kanye West’s controversial 15-minute meeting with Donald Trump.

Salley added his opinion into the mix and went as far as to call Kanye a “genius” for setting up a meeting with Donald Trump, which came just days after the rapper was released from an eight-day stint in the UCLA Medical Center for “temporary psychosis.”

“He’s letting you know he can get to the president when he wants to and have a conversation,” John Salley said. “That was a very important statement when the president elect said, ‘We were up there talking. We’ve been friends for a long time.’”

John Salley said Kanye’s critics are misguided now that the 39-year-old rapper has the ear of the President. He also dismissed Kanye’s stint in the hospital and said the rapper linking with Trump makes total sense.

“Kanye was in UCLA, people were saying he was crazy. Trump said he was running for president and was going to be president of the United States,” John Salley continued. “People said he was crazy. I guess both these people are crazy. I guess people need to start being crazy…

“I’m always going to champion Kanye because he went from being a kid in Chicago almost being able to any day being killed, to almost dying here in West Hollywood, to becoming one of the biggest names in the world,” John Salley said.

Meanwhile, Kanye continues to boast about his meeting with Donald Trump.

The rapper returned to Twitter last night (December 13) to offer up an explanation for his meeting with Donald Trump, Tweeting that they discussed bullying, supporting teachers, and bringing down the level of violence in Chicago.

This morning (December 14), Kanye returned to Twitter and posted an autographed Time magazine with Donald Trump on the cover.

Donald Trump is scheduled to be sworn in as The United States’ 45th president on January 20 at 12:00PM.

(AllHipHop News) A Hip-Hop producer in Miami is facing some serious allegations, after being charged with orchestrating dozens of burglaries, in an attempt to be the king of “lean.”

Producer Cuban Harry, born Harrison Garcia, is accused of using his Instagram account to sell his lean, which is a powerful mixture of soda or juice, codeine and promethazine.

Cuban Harry, who is associated with Lil’ Wayne’s Young Money and Chris Brown, also goes by the name Muhammad_A_Lean on his social media accounts.

According to the Miami Herald, Cuban Harry masterminded dozens of robberies at pharmacies. The businesses were targeted for painkillers, which Cuban Harry then allegedly used to cook up his own sizzurp.

He became the subject of investigation almost a year ago, when the Feds realized he was using his Instagram account to sell his lean. Cuban Harry was eventually caught in a drug sting, when he sold $4,000 worth of lean to an undercover agent on two separate occasions.

Police eventually raided his house and found two pounds of marijuana. Cuban Harry eventually took them to a stash house where more money, guns and drugs were found.

He’s accused of using the proceeds to hobnob with popular rappers, drive exotic cars and travel internationally.

Cuban Harry is charged with racketeering, grand theft, and trafficking in illegal drugs.

Fiasco fired back on his own Twitter timeline, posting, “Sorry M####….i’s do better next time, f-ck outta here.”

“I didn’t called them dirty becuz they were Jewish I called them dirty becuz their horrible f###### human beings,” added Lupe. “Im not an anti-Semite & I’ll never be a Freier, EVER! So u can take your little condemnation & it shove up ur ass sideways.”

(AllHipHop News) Young Thug made a mea culpa to the women he insulted recently, at least that is what the rapper claimed on Instagram.

The “Best Friend” performer was met with serious backlash when he uploaded a video of him calling airport employees “peasants,” “ants,” and “bums.”

At first, Thugger was defiant about the interaction.

“Don’t take a situation about me arguing with these two black, p-ssy ass hoes for making me miss my money, and try to mix everybody black in to it. I wasn’t talking about everybody, lames. I was talking about them,” said Thug in a self-recorded video.

Now it seems Young Thug had a change of heart inspired by his mother.

“When your mama make u go to the airport and apologize ?? sorry love ones….,” wrote Thug on a new IG post.

(AllHipHop Rumors) Ummmmm we are still surprised that Joseline Hernandez is going to be someone’s mom.

As you know, Love & Hip Hop Atlanta stars Stevie J & Joseline have had a very turbulent relationship to say the least. The on-and-off again couple go from fights to make up and break up almost weekly.

One question that has plagued Joseline and her pregnancy lately, is: who is really her baby’s daddy?!? Is it Steeebie? Is it Young Dro? Is it some mystery man?

Some days Stevie J claims he’s not the father, other days he claims to be there for Joseline as the best father possible.

In interesting news, whether or not Young Dro is actually Joseline’s baby father, he has vowed to be there for both her and her child.

Dro is a pretty entertaining character himself, so we wonder is he stepping up, trolling, teasing a new storyline for the season or a storyline for Joseline’s delivery special???? Hmmmm we wonder.

Young Dro and the strippers were present at Joseline’s baby shower, while Stevie was not though.

(AllHipHop News) Kanye West once again ended a year by earning multiple Grammy nominations.

His The Life Of Pablo is up for Best Rap Album.

Ye also got noms for Best Rap Performance, Best Rap/Sung Performance, and Best Rap Song.

TLOP featured appearances by a host of recording artists.

For example, the “Waves” track contained vocals provided by Kid Cudi and Chris Brown.

Kanye’s friend and artistic creator Fonzworth Bentley stopped by the Rich Friend podcast and talked about the making of Pablo and “Waves.”

“One day, [Kanye’s] like, ‘Yo, who’s the second most hated n-gga in America? Chris Brown. I need to do a record with Chris Brown,'” said Bentley.

Sean “Diddy” Combs’ former assistant spent a lot of time in the studio with Kanye, and Fonzworth admitted he did not bathe regularly.

Then one day Bentley returned to the recording space in his typical clean dressed attire.

“So as I walk in the studio, the beat to ‘Waves’ is on, and Ye is sitting on one side of the studio and Chris is on the other side,” recalls Fonzworth. “So I walk in with my bop, and Ye is like, ‘Walk up in this b-tch like…’”

Bentley went on to talk about how his brother believes angels are going to come out of waves crashing against the surf.

The thought helped inspire the spiritual themes presented on The Life Of Pablo which was known as Swish at the time.

According to Bentley, he assisted in writing the hook for “Waves” and producing the record.

Kanye even announced the entire project was being renamed Waves before finally settling on The Life Of Pablo.

Kanye West Tweets Explanation For Meeting With Donald Trump

By: Mike Winslow Updated Category: News

(AllHipHop News) Rapper Kanye West met with U.S. president-elect Donald Trump on Tuesday to discuss issues affecting minorities in America.

The controversial Yeezus star sat down with the country’s next leader at the billionaire’s Trump Tower building in New York City, and now details of their odd meeting have been unearthed – and it appears troubled Kanye, who is now sporting blond hair, wasn’t just being social.

“I wanted to meet with Trump today to discuss multicultural issues,” West writes on his Twitter account. “These issues included bullying, supporting teachers, modernizing curriculums, and violence in Chicago.”

Kanye, whose late mother was a teacher, is a Chicago native concerned about the mounting bloodshed in the city and he hopes that speaking with Trump will help change things for African-Americans and other disenfranchised communities around the nation.

“I feel it is important to have a direct line of communication with our future President if we truly want change,” he notes.

The Hip-Hop star signed off by making a cheeky reference to his own political ambitions, tweeting: “#2024.”

Kanye previously revealed he was planning to run for U.S. President at the 2020 election, but now it seems he’s happy to let Trump have his full two terms in office.

As the race for the White House between Trump and his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton became heated earlier this year, social media fans started their own movement by suggesting Kanye should stand against them.

West’s meeting with Trump was one of the rapper’s first public outings since he was hospitalized in Los Angeles after suffering a reported a mental breakdown, which prompted the “Stronger” hitmaker to scrap the remaining dates of his Saint Pablo Tour last month.

Kanye Heads To New York Looking For Doctors…and Architects

(AllHipHop News) Kanye West has been making headlines since he left the UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles, after being treated for “temporary psychosis.”

The coverage of his release was amplified, when he was photographed at a Los Angeles art school with a new blonde hairdo.

The 39-year-old rapper also recently emerged in New York City, but he has been shunning the media spotlight as he recovers from what doctors described “temporary psychosis” which was the result of exhaustion and stress.

Kanye’s issues were severe enough to cause him to be hospitalized and cancel his “Saint Pablo Tour,” which could cause him to lose out on an estimated $30 million worth of revenue.

According to reports while Kanye is in New York, he is looking to put together a team of doctors to help him with his undisclosed medical “condition.”

Kanye is looking for a physician from the East Coast to complement the work his West Coast physician, who is responsible for caring for the rapper 24-hours-a day.

Those tasks include making sure Kanye is taking his medication and taking advantage of other ways for the rapper to relieve his stress.

The hospitalization appears to be good for Kanye, who had a creative burst of output during his eight-day stint in the hospital and reportedly recorded enough material for a new album.

Kanye has also reportedly put a new studio in his Bel Air mansion, where he is recovering and is redesigning his Hidden Hills mansion with his wife, Kim Kardashian West.

Everyone Isn’t Feeling J. Cole’s New Album

(AllHipHop Rumors) Uh oh! It looks like everyone isn’t bumping that new Cole.

Oftentimes we don’t get or see too many complaints about J. Cole, especially given the fact that in a time of mumble rappers, he’s considered to be a lyrical top tier rapper, and he’s Mr. Double Platinum With No Features.

The plot twist is the fact that everyone is not here for J. Cole’s latest album, ‘4 Your Eyez Only’. Many have called the album boring and overrated.

While most of the same fans have admitted that the North Carolina rapper certainly has songs and previous albums that they rock with, they still feel like this album wasn’t necessary stellar.

A Hampton Inn hotel even took shots at Cole as they claimed the album put people to sleep.

What are your thoughts? Do you think Cole missed the mark with this one? Were you disappointed?

Mary J. Blige Says Her Husband Claiming $400k In False Expenses As Divorce War Looms

By: Mike Winslow Updated Category: News

(AllHipHop News) Mary G. Blige has filed new divorce documents accusing her estranged husband and manager of cheating her out of $420,000 by falsely claiming business expenses.

The “No More Drama” hitmaker filed legal papers to end her 12-year marriage from Martin “Kendu” Isaacs in July, and the estranged couple has been fighting over his request for almost $130,000 -a-month in spousal support ever since.

The singer has filed new documents claiming Isaacs, who was fired as her manager shortly before she filed for divorce, “fleeced her out of” $420,000 by claiming business expenses that had nothing to do with her career.

She has also accused Isaacs of failing to return three luxury cars that had been leased under her company’s name.

A Range Rover was supposed to be returned in February, she wants a Mercedes C300 back and is allowing him to keep the Mercedes SL550.

The “Family Affair” star further alleges he is refusing to return a Grammy trophy to her as well as other “achievement awards.”

The 45-year-old has opened about the split during TV interviews, telling U.K. show Loose Women the divorce battle has turned Isaacs into someone she doesn’t recognize.

“I’m in the thick of it. I’m in the middle of a divorce that’s everywhere (in the news),” she said. “It’s just how hard life is. It’s the pain, it’s the lawyers, it’s the this, it’s the that… Not even knowing someone that you thought you knew for years is horrible.”

Blige also told Good Morning America the marriage broke down because she kept asking for respect but wasn’t getting it.

“It just seemed like I was beating a dead horse and it seemed like I was talking to a wall,” she explained. “So if I can’t get respect in the relationship, I have to move on to save myself. That was the point where I was like, ‘I’m done, I just can’t do it anymore.'”

(AllHipHop News) Hit producer/social media icon DJ Khaled recently hit Harvard University, where he taught “Khaled Key Class.”

The rapper was on campus as part of the “Get Schooled College Snapchat Tour.” Khaled serves as the national spokesman for the campaign, which aims to provide high school students more accessible ways to experience college campuses.

Get Schooled has been taking advantage of DJ Khaled’s massive Snapchats’ presence, to reach more high school seniors.

“More high school seniors than ever before recognize the importance of getting an education beyond high school, but many have limited exposure to the college experience,” said Marie Groark, Executive Director of Get Schooled. “By harnessing DJ Khaled’s expertise and the Snapchat platform, we are able to connect more young people with the support they need to make college a reality.”

During his stop at Harvard, he also participated in a private event hosted by Harvard Business School, focused on the music industry.

Khaled also actually took the time to help some of the students enroll in college during his stop at Harvard.
