5 Top Las Vegas Concerts You Can’t Miss in 2024

By: Staff WriterCategory: Uncategorized

Las Vegas — the entertainment capital is synonymous with good times and never-ending parties. It has evolved into much more than a city with top-tier gambling venues. After all, people can gamble anytime anywhere nowadays, and almost all tips for low-budget gamblers suggest using online casinos. This allows them to take advantage of low deposit bonuses and other perks. So, how does Neon City compete with the growing preference for online gambling? Well, it simply doesn’t, because it doesn’t have to.   

Las Vegas is called the world’s entertainment capital for a good reason. It is home to many gaming resorts that often host venues like conventions, live shows, and music concerts. This means that it doesn’t rely solely on gambling to attract visitors. As mentioned, casino entertainment is pretty much available anywhere, and according to the site, even countries like Hungary need to accept the presence of online operators so long as they are licensed in a way that is a measure that promotes fair market competition and prevents the formation of monopolies.    

So, if you plan on visiting Vegas in 2024, there is much to look forward to. The city is due to host a concert series, orchestrated by some of the greatest music icons, and here you can learn all about them.

Megan Thee Stallion’s Former Cameraman Sues Her For Making Him Watch Her Have Sex

By: Justin IveyCategory: News

Megan Thee Stallion’s former cameraman sued her for harassment and creating a hostile work environment in Los Angeles County on Tuesday (April 23). Emilio Garcia claimed Megan forced him to watch her have sex with a woman while he worked for her.

According to NBC News, Garcia became the rapper’s cameraman in 2018 and started working full-time for her in 2019. The sexual incident allegedly occurred when they traveled to Ibiza in June 2022.

Garcia said he was stuck in a car with Megan when she started having sex with a woman next to him. His lawsuit noted he “could not get out of the car as it was both moving, and he was in the middle of nowhere in a foreign country.”

“I felt uncomfortable,” Garcia told NBC. “I was kind of frozen, and I was shocked. At kind of just be the overall audacity to do this right, right beside me.”

Megan allegedly told Garcia, “Don’t ever discuss what you saw,” per his lawsuit. The cameraman also accused her of fat-shaming him. Garcia’s attorney said he suffered from “mounting anxiety, depression and physical distress stemming from the toxic work environment.”

Garcia continued working for Megan until June 2023. Garcia said he was treated differently after the Ibiza trip. He received fewer bookings following a change in the way he was compensated. His lawsuit cited alleged violations regarding his misclassification as an independent contractor.

“Megan just needs to pay our client what he’s due, own up to her behavior and quit this sort of sexual harassment and fat-shaming conduct,” Garcia’s lawyer Ron Zambrano said. “Emilio should never have been put in a position of having to be in the vehicle with her while she had sex with another woman. ‘Inappropriate’ is putting it lightly. Exposing this behavior to employees is illegal.”

Garcia sought more than six figures in his lawsuit. Megan has not commented on the allegations.

Tupac Shakur Murder Case Moves One Step Closer To Trial

By: Justin IveyCategory: News

Keefe D appeared in court for a hearing in the Tupac Shakur murder case on Tuesday (April 23). Nevada prosecutors said they should be able to review and turn over documents to end the discovery phase within two months.

According to KSNV in Las Vegas, Chief Deputy District Attorney Binu Palal told Judge Carli Kierny the prosecution believed it collected all the necessary documents from various agencies. Keefe D’s attorney Carl Arnold confirmed he already received some redacted documents from prosecutors at the pretrial status hearing.

Judge Kierny scheduled another status check for July 23. Keefe D’s trial is tentatively set to begin on November 4.

Keefe D, whose real name is Duane Davis, was arrested for Tupac’s 1996 murder in 2023. Keefe D was charged with one count of murder with a deadly weapon.

Tupac was shot and killed in a drive-by shooting in Las Vegas. Authorities said Keefe D wasn’t the gunman, but he devised the plan to attack Tupac.

“Duane Davis was the shot caller for this group of individuals that committed this crime,” Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department Lt. Jason Johansson said. “He orchestrated the plan that was carried out.”

Keefe D pleaded not guilty to murder. He maintained his innocence despite prosecutors noting how he admitted his role in Tupac’s death in a memoir and various interviews. Last year, Keefe D’s former attorneys claimed he lied about his involvement in Tupac’s murder for money.

“The truthfulness of the content of the interviews was never verified,” his defense team argued. “The book and interviews were done for entertainment and to make money from a situation that [former LAPD detective Greg] Kading and others had already profited from.”

Keefe D’s trial was originally supposed to start in June. Judge Kierny moved the trial to November at a hearing in February.

Druski’s Baecation With Rubi Rose Legit Or A 26 Vs. 1?

By: Devon JeffersonCategory: Rumors

Druski and Rubi Rose recently made things Instagram official, or at least that’s what they’ve led us to believe.

In case you missed it, the Coulda Been Records CEO dropped a sneaky flick capturing what appears to be an intimate moment with Rose on his personal IG. Druski stamped the photo of them seemingly gazing into each other’s eyes intoxicated by the look of love with a caption that reads “DRUBI [heart emoji].”

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by DRUSKI (@druski)

As if the photo weren’t proof enough, Rose even added in the comment section, “You really love me huh baby.” But upon second glance, something about the surprise couple’s Dominican Republic vacation seems a bit fishy—not because they possibly enjoyed some phenomenal ceviche.

In an even sneakier post-and-delete round-up that Rose shared on her personal IG profile from the trip, she appeared to suggest at least 26 other individuals joined her and Druski on the trip. In the caption of the post, she even remarked about how chaotic it was sharing a villa with more than two dozen people and included a communal dinner photo with multiple individuals seated at a large table in the post.

While we don’t have the CVS receipts for the aforementioned, Rose has a documented track record of allowing men who are either emotionally or physically attracted to her to fit the bill for her lavish lifestyle. After recently linking up with her highest spending OnlyFans client, Rose shared a screen-grab video of a conversation with one of her other cyber tricks that spent thousands of dollars on his “relationship” with her.

Not to mention, the way Druski is on his Coulda Been Records house reality TV kick right now, the possibility this is a content grab feels all too likely. But maybe it really is DRUBI forreal!? Either way, we somehow have the feeling that this will all end up on Tubi one way or another.

Cam’ron Declares Chris Brown Released Best Recent Diss Track

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

Cam’ron has seen his fair share of beefs throughout his entertainment career. The recording artist-turned-sports podcaster offered his opinion on the ongoing Chris Brown versus Quavo rap battle.

For example, Chris Brown took direct shots at Quavo of the Migos rap group on his “Weakest Link” release. According to Cam’ron, that Quavo diss by Brown beat out any other recent response track.

“To me, Chris Brown got the best diss song this week,” Cam’ron declared while cruising on a boat. The Dipset frontman then played “Weakest Link” while providing commentary in the social media video.

Cam also said, “That n#### said that when Takeoff died, n##### wished it was you instead. Chris Brown sounds dangerous. Breezy sounds dangerous right now.”

On the “Weakest Link” song, Chris Brown mentioned the late Takeoff. The 28-year-old Migos member, born Kirsnick Khari Ball, died in November 2022 after being shot multiple times in Houston, Texas.

Quavo has returned fire at Chris Brown with the “Over Hoes & B######” diss record featuring vocals by Takeoff. The friction between Quavo and Brown has been playing out for years.

Apparently, the issues between the Georgia-bred rapper and the Virginia-bred singer stem from both stars once being sexually involved with Karrueche Tran and Saweetie.

On Tuesday (April 12), Saweetie responded to Quavo namedropping her in the “Over Hoes & B######” song. The “My Type” hitmaker posted a screenshot of her ex-boyfriend’s alleged, unanswered Instagram direct message.

Eric B. & Rakim React To 2024 Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame Snub

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

The Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame revealed the selections for the museum’s class of 2024 earlier this week. Legendary Hip-Hop duo Eric B & Rakim didn’t make the final list.

Eric B & Rakim spoke to TMZ about being passed over for the latest round of Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame inductees. Despite the omission, the Paid in Full artists harbor no ill feelings about not having the chance to be enshrined in the famed Rock Hall.

“Congratulations to the diverse group of artists inducted into the Rock Hall this year. Seeing Tribe and Mary on the list besides Cher, Ozzy, Kool and the Gang and all of the other icons shows how inclusive the institution has become,” Eric B & Rakim told the celebrity news outlet.

The New York-bred tandem received a nomination for the 2024 Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame class, however, they failed to secure enough votes for inclusion at this year’s ceremony. The East Coast representatives were also nominated in 2012.

“Maybe it’ll happen this time,” Eric B. told AllHipHop during a February interview. “I think it’s a long time coming. We’re all righteous guys and girls, so it’s on God’s time, not our time. I’d be just as appreciative if I won it the first time, so it’s great.”

Iconic Hip-Hop group A Tribe Called Quest and Queen of Hip-Hop Soul Mary J. Blige will be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame in 2024. In addition, Cher, Dave Matthews Band, Kool & the Gang, Ozzy Osbourne, Big Mama Thornton, Dionne Warwick and other acts will receive “music’s highest honor” too.

Ja Rule Fires Back At 50 Cent Fan After Comparing Himself To Drake

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

Ja Rule recently suggested Hip-Hop artists should stop feuding. However, the “Always on Time” hitmaker continues to take shots at his seemingly eternal adversary 50 Cent.

On Saturday (April 20), Ja Rule shared his opinion on the ongoing beefs involving Drake and over half a dozen other people. Rule claimed he could relate to the OVO head’s “20v1” situation.

“They said @50cent had Ja Rule seeing 20,” one X user tweeted in response to Rule’s statement about Drake. The 48-year-old rapper/entrepreneur fired back.

Ja Rule wrote, “G-Unit literally had an ORDER OF PROTECTION against Murder Inc. Can you imagine if one of the camps in this beef right now put an order of protection on the other?”

Murder Inc. Records founded Irv Gotti accused 50 Cent of filing an order of protection against him and Ja Rule following a fight at the Hit Factory studios in New York City in 2000.

Former G-Unit affiliate Bang ‘Em Smurf confirmed the injunction exists. According to reports, the New York Police Department issued the protection order on behalf of 50 Cent. 

G-Unit versus Murder Inc. became one of the most talked-about Hip-Hop feuds in history. The two factions have battled through music and engaged in physical altercations since the bad blood began in the late 1990s.

Kanye West Calls Chris Brown “A God” Amid Quavo Beef

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

“I’m the new Jesus, b####. I turn water to Cris. This for what they did to Chris. They can’t do s### with this,” Kanye “Ye” West raps on his chart-topping “Carnival” single.

Kanye West further expressed his support for Chris Brown during a sit-down interview with The Download With Justin Laboy podcast. That paywalled conversation included Ye reflecting on his “Carnival” shout-out to the R&B singer.

“Chris is a god,” Kanye West told Justin Laboy in a clip from The Download that made its way to social media. West then clarified he was talking about Chris Brown.

On February 8, 2009, Chris Brown got into a physical altercation with his then-girlfriend, fellow R&B star, Rihanna. Brown pleaded guilty to felony assault in that case. He also faced other abuse accusations throughout his career.

Over the last several weeks, Chris Brown has been engaged in a lyrical back-and-forth with Migos member Quavo. Both artists released respective diss tracks that mentioned abuse allegations against the other.

Kanye West has also fully embraced the current beef season in Hip-Hop. The Chicago-raised rapper aimed at his longtime rival Drake, as well as J. Cole, on a remix of Metro Boomin and Future’s “Like That.”

2Pac’s Brother Takes Issue With Drake Using A.I. Version Of Legend’s Voice For Rap Beef

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

Drake shocked the Hip-Hop world by utilizing artificial intelligence-generated 2Pac and Snoop Dogg verses to swing at his current rival, Kendrick Lamar. A relative of Tupac Shakur has addressed Drizzy’s polarizing “Taylor Made Freestyle” track.

According to TMZ, Mopreme Shakur had a problem with Drake using his brother’s voice in a rap battle. The outlet reports that Mopreme called the A.I.-created song a “nuclear option” and thinks the battle should be “1-on-1.”

Mopreme Shakur also apparently expressed worry that younger music fans may believe the “A.I. 2Pac” on “Taylor Made Freestyle” is real. However, the Outlawz member supposedly supports both Drake and Kendrick Lamar. 

Drake dropped “Taylor Made Freestyle” as the second response to Kendrick Lamar calling him out on “Like That” by Future and Metro Boomin. The Toronto representative also officially released the “Push Ups” diss track on April 19.

“Taylor Made Freestyle” led to mixed reactions from Hip-Hop artists, fans and media figures. Knowing California-raised Kendrick Lamar idolized West Coast legends 2Pac and Snoop Dogg, some listeners praised Drake’s creativity and pettiness.

In contrast, some people complained about one of the most successful rappers on the planet embracing artificial intelligence to make music. Critics expressed concerns that the move could be a slippery slope to watering down human-made artistry.

Ray J recently debuted his new face tattoos and revealed his latest ink sparked concerns, including from his doctors who questioned his mental state. 

On Monday (April 22), Ray J showed off his new body art during an Instagram Live chat. Alongside the names of his children, Melody and Epik, the 43-year-old entrepreneur tattooed the logo of his new TV network Tronix on his face.  

According to Ray J, the tattoos have “everybody tripping,” with worried friends concerned for his mental health. 

“I had a few doctors call me and DM me,” he admitted. “Thank you, I appreciate the love because if you worried about me then please let me know. If I’m falling by the wayside, If I’m going left, help me go right. I’m a listen. Straight up.“

However, Ray J revealed his face tattoos are unfinished, and despite the concerns, he’s set to make them even larger.  

“I’m about to go finish them right now, and I’m a really go big today. When I’m done with them, then I think everybody might f### with them. But if they don’t, you ain’t got to look at me,” he added. 

In another video, Ray J confessed his new ink makes him “look real unattractive.” Furthermore, he said he won’t be able to do any more movies or TV shows but believes it’s worth it. “It’s all in for me now,” he said. “I did this on purpose,” he added, explaining that he’s determined to be his own boss.  

50 Cent Predicts Chris Brown Will Punch Quavo In Face Over Latest Diss 

By: London JennnCategory: News

50 Cent believes Chris Brown will put hands on Quavo after the Migos rapper went nuclear on his Brezzy diss “Over Hoes & B#tches.” 

The G-Unit founder and entertainment mogul is keeping an eye on the beef, which has seen the singer and the rapper go back and forth on wax. Over the weekend, 50 Cent put Quavo on the clock, urging him to respond to Chris Brown’s “Weakest Link” with some heat or “it’s a wrap.” 

Whether Huncho was listening or not, he fired back on Monday (April 22), with an explosive diss less than a day after Fiddy’s post. It appears the scathing track was to his liking.  

50 Cent shared his reaction to Quavo’s attack on Chris Brown via Instagram Monday evening. He gave “Over Hoes & B#tches” his seal of approval and wants the lyrical warfare to continue. However, he thinks the latest shot might have escalated the tension and predicts the feuding artists will come to blows.   

“I don’t know why I like all of this, but I like it ! This heat,” he declared before adding, “keep it coming. Breezy gonna punch him in the face.”

Chris Brown and Quavo’s latest tracks follow their first round earlier this month. Breezy targeted Huncho on “Freak,” while Quavo returned fire on “Tender” 24 hours later. 

Their issues date back to 2017 when Quavo was linked to Brown’s ex, Karrueche Tran, leading to a heated confrontation involving the duo at the 2017 BET Awards.  

Suge Knight Warns Drake For Making Tupac A “Pawn” In Kendrick Lamar Beef 

By: London JennnCategory: News

Suge Knight slammed Drake for using AI-generated Snoop Dogg and Tupac Shakur verses to diss Kendrick Lamar on “Taylor Made Freestyle.” 

Last Saturday (April 20), the Canadian superstar stunned fans by dropping another diss record at K. Dot after officially adding “Push Ups” to DSPs a day prior. Alongside his own verse, he “featured” West Coast legends Snoop Dogg and the late Tupac. 

The former Death Row Records boss addressed the topic on the latest episode of Collect Call With Suge Knight.  

“Young people do what young people do,” he began. “It’s y’all turn, but regarding the homie ‘Pac, he wasn’t no chump. Putting him on a song and dissing Kendrick [Lamar] for everybody entertainment — that ain’t how it go.” 

When discussing Drake using a deep fake Snoop to attack Lamar, Suge Knight repeated his suggestion that the Doggfather was involved in Tupac’s murder.  

“Then putting him on a song with Snoop, who was a part of his downfall and exit, ain’t ever a good look. ‘Pac was a king on that chessboard. He never was a pawn, so he can’t make him be a pawn now,” Knight stated.  

He also warned that Drake, “sneaking in the Lion’s den” of West Coast gang members could unite the various affiliates. “The West Coast is a whole state of real gang members of all colors, all races,” he added. “Enter with caution.” 

Meanwhile Snoop Dogg shared his reaction to Drake’s “Taylor Made Freestyle” in a Instagram video.

“They did what? When? How? Are you sure? [Sigh] Y’all have a good night,” he said in the clip. “Why everybody calling my phone, blowing me up? What the f###— what happened? What’s going on? I’m going back to bed. Good night.”

Kanye West Drags J. Cole Over Kendrick Lamar Apology: “You Can’t Run Now” 

By: London JennnCategory: News

Kanye West shared his savage reaction to J. Cole apologizing to Kendrick Lamar after dissing the Pulitzer Prize winner on “7 Minute Drill.” 

During an interview on The Download podcast, Ye, who fired at Cole on the remix to Lamar’s Future and Metro Boomin’ hit, “Like That,” dismissed the Dreamville Records founder for walking back his attack on K. Dot. He also called out Cole for not backing his “First Person Shooter” collaborator and tour partner Drake.  

“F### all that p#### s###,” West told host Justin Laboy. “F### all that s###. Because, like that n#### J. Cole went on tour with Drake, he know what it is. Like, n####, you can’t run now. It’s you also.” 

When the host suggested that “it’s up for Cole,” West doubled down. “You can’t say up and Cole in the same sentence,” he added.  

Ye also insisted he’s not a fan of the Fayetteville MC and isn’t interested in his music.  

“I don’t listen to J. Cole,” West stated. “I just heard he had a song called ‘False [Prophets]’ and somebody told me it’s halfway about me.” 

Elsewhere on the podcast, West recalled Future plotting the “elimination of Drake” after recruiting him for the “Like That” remix.  

“Pluto called me,” he explained. “I went to the studio, laid that. And then we went through the creative process, adding the chorus … You know, everybody was very, very excited about the elimination of Drake. Not excited – we was energized.” 

Saweetie Shares DM From Quavo Following Chris Brown Diss Track  

By: London JennnCategory: Rumors

Saweetie is clapping back after being dragged into the beef between Quavo and Chris Brown. 

On Monday (April 22) the Migos rapper responded with fire to Brown’s blistering diss track “Weakest Link,” calling Breezy the “crackhead Michael Jackson” on “Over Hoes & B#tches.” 

Both the singer and the rapper got disrespectful about their exes, with the “Best Friend” hitmaker taking multiple shots. Brown claims he was intimate with Saweetie while she was still with Quavo. 

“You f##### my ex-hoe, that’s cool, I don’t give no f###, lil’ n####,” Breezy raps. “‘Cause I f##### your ex when you were still with her, b####, I’m up, lil’ n####.” 

Meanwhile, Quavo boasts, “I can take a model b#### and make a Saweetie, n####.”   

After joking she was hitting the studio after Chris Brown dropped last week, Saweetie reached for the receipts in response to Quavo. She took to social media, firing back at her ex, just hours after he released “Over Hoes & B#tches.”  

She posted a screenshot of her Instagram DMs from back in January 2024. An unread message from Quavo begins, “Damn. We used to mean af to eac…”  

X/Saweetie

Directly referencing Quavo’s “Over Hoes & B#tches” lyric, Saweetie wrote, “hopefully the model he turns into me replies.” 

Despite Quavo being in the DMs back in January, the former couple split in March 2021. Interestingly, his message to Saweetie arrived days before the rumors that she and YG split, ending their brief relationship.   

Chris Brown also shared his reaction to Quavo’s diss, and he was unimpressed.  

“Google raps,” he wrote on his IG Story alongside multiple crying-with-laughter emojis. “That s### is poooooooh.”  

It appears the lyrical warfare might end here. “Damn and I was excited,” he added. “That s### don’t even need a response.” 

Brown also mentioned the late Takeoff again after stating Quavo was the worst rapper in Migos, and that fans wished it was him who died instead of Takeoff. He concluded his post, “Takeoff rap better.”

Quavo Launches A Scud Missile At “Crackhead” Chris Brown

By: Houston WilliamsCategory: Rumors

Chris Brown threw some heated verses at Quavo in his latest track “Weakest Link” over the weekend, but – 50 Cent be damned – Quavo clapped back with “Over Hoes & B#tches,” where he didn’t hold back one bit. Ol boy went super low, dubbing Chris the “crackhead Michael Jackson.”

Here are some lyrics (courtesy of Genius):
Lil’ boy wanna die ’bout some coochie? (Bow)
You still f##### up ’bout Karrueche? (Damn)
You tried to beat up Teyana, (No cap) but Usher wouldn’t let you do it (Usher)
The cocaine got ’em, your honor (White), bipolar disorder, no wonder
You was the greatest, n####, you fumbled, going out sad, I’m watching you crumble
Why they got Quavo out here going back and forth with a singer that turned to a junkie?
Never got light skin versus brown skin, n#### finna divide the country (Go)
N####, you ain’t been in the trenches
We stomping the yard, you know how that ended (Stomp)
Want smoke with me? OHB mean fighting over hoes and b###### (Always beat)
Who gassed you up to put that out? Yeah, that was s#####, n#### (On God)
I can take a model b#### and make a Saweetie, n#### (B####)
Crackhead Michael Jackson, b####, you better beat it, n####
I’m still f##### up about Takeoff, I want who did it, n#### (Uh)

Quavo starts “Over Hoes & B*tches” on full blast, throwing jabs about Chris’s infamous incident with Rihanna and a few fashion mishaps. “You punched Rih in the face—try that with me,” he taunts. He doesn’t stop there, mentioning past beefs with Frank Ocean and a scary home invasion at Chris’s place.

Quavo doesn’t shy away from mentioning Karrueche Tran either, reigniting old flames from Chris’s first diss this month, “Freak.” Quavo fires back hard, dragging past dramas back into the spotlight and accusing Chris of spiraling out of control.

Chris hit Instagram pretty quickly to dismiss the track, calling it weak. But was it? Hmmmmmmm

Tay Keith Says He Was Crucified For Working With Sexyy Red

By: Justin IveyCategory: News

Tay Keith created hits with Sexyy Red but initially faced blowback for their collaborations. The Memphis-bred producer, who’s worked with stars such as Eminem and Drake, told Billboard he was “crucified” for teaming up with Sexyy Red.

“People were trolling the s### out of me,” Tay Keith said. “They were real-deal trolling me. It wasn’t much good feedback. It was coming from even people around me, ‘What you doing?’ I saw the potential. That’s as simple as it was, me believing in her.”

Tay Keith produced Sexyy Red’s breakthrough single “Pound Town,” which peaked at No. 66 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2023. The two scored another hit when their track “SkeeYee” reached No. 62 on the Hot 100. “SkeeYee” also debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s inaugural TikTok Top 50 chart.

Sexyy Red and Tay Keith proved her success wasn’t a fluke when their latest collab “Get It Sexyy” peaked at No. 20 on the Hot 100. Tay Keith believed Sexyy Red’s organic rise baffled many observers.

“I think that’s what the people didn’t expect,” he said. “Just how raw it was to become that successful. I think people doubted me working with her because they didn’t see the reason to do it. I definitely seen the potential. I tell people all the time how long I was watching Sexyy Red’s music before she blew up.”

He continued, “I was watching her s### for a while. Like going on YouTube and listening to her s###. Sending people her music and labels and people I know at certain labels. At the time, I didn’t know what I could do with it. I sent it to folks, ‘Y’all gotta f### with her.’ I didn’t know what to do with it — but it’s gon’ work, I swear to God!”

Tay Keith revealed plans to release an album with Sexyy Red. The producer refused to put a timetable on it but said they already started “cooking up” music for the project.

Kanye West Wants A Freak Off With Michelle Obama

By: Justin IveyCategory: News

Kanye West envisioned himself having sex with former First Lady Michelle Obama and his wife Bianca Censori. Ye named Obama when asked to pick any woman in the world to have a threesome with his wife on Justin LaBoy’s The Download podcast.

“Gotta f### the president’s wife!” Ye said before laughing.

Michelle Obama memorably took a veiled shot at Kanye when he was running for president in 2020. She urged voters to ignore Ye and vote for Joe Biden at the Democratic National Convention.

“This is not the time to withhold our votes in protest or play games with candidates who have no chance of winning,” she said.

Former President Barack Obama called Kanye a “jackass” in an off-the-record comment that leaked in 2009. The 44th president of the United States doubled down on the sentiment several years later.

“He is a jackass,” Barack Obama said in an interview. “But he’s talented.”

Kanye discussed aligning with Future and Metro Boomin in their much-discussed feud with Drake on LaBoy’s podcast. Future recruited Ye for a remix of the hit song “Like That.” Kanye said both men wanted the “elimination of Drake.”

Kendrick Lamar dissed Drake on the original version of “Like That,” which helped ignite a battle that dragged multiple artists into the crossfire. The “Like That” remix dropped on Sunday (April 21). Kanye claimed Universal Music Group CEO Lucian Grainge controlled Drake on the song.

“It’s like Drake has a rich baby daddy named Lucian and Universal,” Ye said on LaBoy’s podcast. “He’s like, ‘My daddy got it. My daddy control the spins. My daddy got the DSPs. My daddy.’

He added, “It cuts Drake’s soul. It’s like he signed his soul to the devil to not be cool with me. To have to like—this is his job, to go against God. And it cuts his soul.”

The “Like That” remix can be heard on Kanye’s Yeezy website.
