Fan Waves Flag With Image From Kim Kardashian Sextape At Kanye West Concert
While Kanye West was performing at the Glastonbury Music Festival, a disgruntled fan tried to ruffle Ye’s feathers, something that isn’t very hard to do. A fan waved a flag that had a screenshot from the infamous sextape starring his wife Kim Kardashian West and her beau at the time, Ray J.
Fans were reportedly not all that happy about Yeezus headlining the festival, and this fan in particular decided to hit below the belt.

Comedian Lee Nelson also got on Yeezy’s bad side when he interrupted his performance of “Black Skinhead” by jumping on stage and flaunting his t-shirt that read “Leezus.” Nelson was later escorted out of the venue by police.
The 2015 BET Awards Proves To Be A Night Of Electrifying Performances & Remarkable Tributes

The 2015 BET Awards was a night full of electrifying performances, emotional speeches and unforgettable moments. The awards, hosted by Anthony Anderson and Tracee Ellis Ross aired live from the Los Angeles’ Microsoft Theater on Sunday, June 28. This year the awards actually seemed to take a back seat to all of the amazing performances. BET pulled out all of the stops and surprises!
Kendrick Lamar opened the show and received a standing ovation for his performance of “Alright”. From then on it was a night full of surprises. Janelle Monae kept the “party” going with an energetic performance of her hit “Yoga”. Chris Brown brought sexiness to the table and even more energy with a performance of his new song “Liquor.” Tyga soon joined Brown for a performance of their hit single “Ayo,” and before you know it Brown was performing the hit “Post To Be” with Omarion.
The Weeknd surprised the audience when Alicia Keys joined him on the stage, sitting at a beautiful baby grand piano, to perform a rendition of his hit “Earned It”.
Diddy aka Sean Puffy Combs stole the show with his much anticipated Bad Boy 20th Anniversary reunion performance. The entire Mircrosoft Theater jumped to their feat at the sound of the late Notorious B.I.G.’s “Hypnotize.” The audience got a chance to enjoy a nice Bad Boy Records medley that went from Mase “Feel So Good” to 112’s “Peaches & Cream”, Faith Evans “Love Like This”, and Lil’ Kim & The Lox brought the house down with their performance of “It’s All About The Benjamins.” Things got interesting when Diddy brought French Montana out. Even though Diddy wanted to bring the Bad Boy Records celebration to present day, French’s set didn’t seem to fit. In fact it brought the energy down. Diddy quickly brought the energy back up when he brought Pharrell Williams out to perform their new single “Finna to Get Loose.”
The night was far from over as Big Sean performed, there was an Empire showcase featuring Yazz, Jussie Smollett and Seraya, and Meek Mill brought out Nicki Minaj and Chris Brown to perform his new single “All Eyes on You.” The very talented Avery Wilson and Andra Day also were given mini spotlight performances.
Although icon Janet Jackson didn’t sing or dance, her tribute performances captivated the hearts of Janet fans everywhere. She was the recipient of the first-ever Ultimate Icon: Music Dance Visual Award. Her longtime collaborators Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis presented the award. High energy electrifying performances by Tinashe, Jason Derulo and Ciara followed.
K. Michelle & Tamar Braxton decided to end their R&B beef by performing separate sets and then finally together, bringing out the Queen Patti Labelle.
Smokie Robinson and Fly Jock Tom Joyner were both award recipients. Smokie Robinson was honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award, and honored with performances by Tori Kelly, Robin Thicke, and Neyo. Tom Joyner was the recipient of the Humanitarian Award. Robinson even took the stage to perform his hit “Cruisin.’ Rihanna also took the stage to present a clip of her “B*tch Better Have My Money” video. Fetty Wap closed the show with a performance of his hit “Trap Queen.”

Police Called To Plies Video Shoot For Alleged Hostage Situation
Plies video shoot in Florida this weekend was unkindly interrupted by Florida police, TMZ reports.
While shooting a video for his next single at Mike Busey’s, who is Gary Busey’s nephew, St. Cloud home, someone mistook the scene where Plies picks up guns from Haitian gangsters as a real-life situation and called the police. Someone called 911 and said that two black males with assault rifles were holding a white man hostage. Police arrived with loud sirens and all only to discover that the guns were unloaded and that a rap video was being shot.
Police did not make any arrests but gave Plies’ team an earful about not having a permit and not clearing the video shoot with the sheriff’s department.
“If a guy comes down the street and sees that and starts dumping rounds out of his rifle thinking he is saving somebody’s life bad things could happen,” one officer said.

EXCLUSIVE: The Internet Band Name The Best & Worst Things About The Actual Internet
In many ways cyberspace is the new frontier. It allows for unpredictable adventures, it’s wide open, and it’s often lawless. The good, the bad, and the ugly all reside on the internet.
AllHipHop.com recently spoke with the R&B/Soul band named The Internet about some of the things they like, love, and hate about the world wide web. Lead vocalist Syd, producer Matt Martians, and keyboard player Jameel Bruner each offer their thoughts on the positive and negative impact of the internet.
[ALSO READ: The Internet’s Syd & Matt Talk Album Collaborations, Odd Future Break-Up Rumors & Why Your Ego Needs To Die]
Matt: The number one best thing about the internet is it connects people together. It connects a lot of different cultures from around the world that have a lot of the same ways of thinking. I can talk to somebody in Japan within 30 seconds. I can send somebody in Japan a song right now.
That connection of people will ultimately be important to the progression of the Earth, because now we can have world consensus when we have a world hurt or world celebration. Before it was a disconnect from the ignorance of not knowing how everybody really felt. And the truth is out there. You can get into some grimy sh*t on the internet. So that’s number one for both. [laughs]
Jameel: The greatest thing on the internet is… I’m not going to say the first thing on my mind. [laughs] All the shenanigans on the internet. All the stuff we send each other, all the memes.
Matt: Memes are number one. You know why? Because memes let you know you’re not the only one thinking this. [laughs]
Syd: Yeah, the memes! [laughs]
Matt: The worst thing on the internet is “well, actually.” You know what “well, actually” is? It’s from people who sit around on Twitter and correct other people on minor things. Like if I put “a lot” as one word, they’re like, “Actually, it’s a-lot.” It’s some dude sitting in his mom’s basement. [laughs]
Syd: Another worst thing is it makes everybody feel like their opinion matters, when it really doesn’t. [laughs] It’s somebody with 30 followers, and if they get two favorites they feel validated.
Matt: Another worst thing – it’s kind of a good thing and a bad thing – is it took away the idea of a celebrity. These people are reachable. If the internet is causing too much of an uproar, these celebrities will reply. Where before if something would happen you wouldn’t really hear about it until the newspapers or tabloids gave public opinion. Now, you have a real-time consensus of what your fans think about you.
Think about it. Drake could be at a game right now, and the camera could be on him. He could be wearing something not even that crazy, but out of nowhere it’s “Drake sucks” because he’s wearing this at a game. That is the wildest sh*t. But it’s great too, because when you have music, it spreads really fast. Everything has a flip-side. Everything that’s great is terrible, and everything that’s terrible is great. The memes are terrible, but they’re amazing. [laughs]

“I feel like, personally, there’s an energy that’s trying to spark an evil race war. Because these events are happening back-to-back,” said Kendrick. “It’s demonized events now. It’s starting to get a little deeper than just hatred.”
While K. Dot offered there is a spiritual component to the tragedies happening around the country, Schoolboy Q focused on the media’s coverage of the issues.
“The media loves this, and we just keep giving them more power by talking about it. We know what’s going on. I just think the media needs to stop pushing it in our faces all the time. It makes hate,” Schoolboy added. “You’re sitting their with your daughter watching TV, and they’re talking about a white dude done killed nine Black people in the church. That makes me hate a little bit.”
