(AllHipHop News) Kanye West’s former flame is speaking about his new relationship with Kim Kardashian, who is pregnant with the Chicago rapper’s first child.

Kanye’s ex-girlfriend Brooke Crittendon sat down and discussed the rapper with The Sun, one of the UK’s biggest newspapers.

The pair was involved in a relationship for two years, just as Kanye West began his rise to the top of the entertainment world.

Crittendon said that the rapper is not the “egomaniac” the media has made him out to be.

“He was insecure as he couldn’t be with me every day. I got the impression he was worried he wasn’t good enough for me,” Brooke Crittendon told The Sun. “He needs people to tell him he is good and that he is needed and wanted.”

According to Brooke Crittendon, Kanye is attempting to be like Jay-Z, whom she labeled his mentor.

“Whether it is starting to be more mature, taking chances with clothes or getting married and starting a family, ultimately he takes those cues from Jay,” Crittendon claimed in the interview.

Crittendon said that the relationship ended because ultimately, Kanye West could not be faithful.

“He was a good boyfriend in f**ked up circumstances,” Crittendon said. “It ended because there were a lot of arguments and a lot of fights. It became really nasty.”

(AllHipHop News) Alicia Keys set off the Official Inaugural Ball by tweaking one of her hit song’s to mark the occasion.

She crooned, “Obama’s on fire!” to the tune of her song “Girl On Fire” before a large group of Barack Obama supporters.

And, the New York-bred songstress set the tone for an evening of celebration for the 44th president’s second inauguration.

“He’s got both feet on the ground, and he’s not backing down,” Keys continued, “[he’s] filled with catastrophe and knows he can find a way.”

Stevie Wonder, Brad Paisley, Maná, fun, John Legend and DJ D-Nice joined in the entertainment to the satisfaction of the ball attendees.

Stevie also altered certain hit records and tailored them to the occasion. He also sang his ode to Martin Luther King, Jr., “Happy Birthday.”

Later on, Obama and the First Lady were serenaded by Jennifer Hudson as they slow danced before the audience.

The pair seemed to genuinely enjoy the moment as they took in a rendition of Al Green’s “Lets Stay Together.” Towards the end of the evening, actor Jamie Foxx would sing for vice-president Joe Bidden and his wife, Jill.

D-Nice kept the party jumping with a very eclectic mixture of songs from different eras of pop, soul, Hip-Hop and R&B.

According to reports, another event is slated for Tuesday, which will feature the likes of Lady Gaga and Jay-Z.

Roughly 800,000 people descended on Washington DC to see Barack Obama sworn in as president for a second four-year term.

Hip-Hop Rumors: Some Fashion Dude Says Kanye West Had Gay Affair? HUH?

Look. This is crazy. Even though Yeezy has a penchant for the eccentric that doesn’t make him homosexual. On Twitter, anybody can say anything and it fly. Well, here is the latest. Some dude named Bryanboy goes off on Twitter and says that Kanye had a gay affair but here is the catch. This dude works on America’s Next Top Model. Does this make him more credible? No. But it does separate him from being a total slanderous bum, unless of course this is pure slander. In that case, Kanye should sue!

Here is what he said about Kanye:

There is no proof at all, not that we want that.

He kind of slick talked around it so its not full legal slander. But, I suspect a lawsuit would get him in line.



They keep us talking, but if we stop talking about them then they should worry! -illseed.

I knew this Love & Hip-Hop stuff would take a wrong turn!

Pusha-T has already declared war on The Cons for saying slick stuff about Kanye Da Boss. Basically, I exercised my right to take a break over the MLK holiday weekend and this is what happens.

Pusha got a hilarious sense of humor though.

Peep this tweet.

Damn…these dudes used to be Grammy family…

You probably heard even though I just heard, but Cons did an interview with Power 105 and they gave him a platform talk ill of Ye and Q-Tip.

Lupe Fiasco Removed From Inaugural Performance After Anti-Obama Rant

(AllHipHop News) Last night (January 20), Lupe Fiasco was removed from the stage at Sunday’s StartUp RockOn concert at the Hamilton Live in Washington, D.C., as part of the weekend’s inaugural festivities.

In an anti-Obama performance, Lupe Fiasco performed his 2011 track “Words I Never Said,” in what has been described was a 30 min rant.

Taking his stance on the United States and Israeli conflict, and stating that Glenn Back and Rush Limbaugh were racists, Lupe ripped President Obama for what he viewed as a lack of support for the Gaza strip and other issues close to his heart.

“And these the same people supposedly telling us the truth/ Limbaugh is a racist, Glenn beck is a racist, Gaza strip was getting bombed, Obama didn’t say sh–/ That’s why I ain’t vote for him, next one either/ I’m part of the problem, my problem is I’m peaceful,” Lupe rapped.

While many have speculated that Lupe was kicked off the stage for his political beliefs, in a statement released by HyperVocal, the event’s organizers say they were dissatisfied with his overall performance and that it was time for the next act.

“This was not about his opinions. Instead, after a bizarrely repetitive, jarring performance that left the crowd vocally dissatisfied, organizers decided to move on to the next act,” HyperVocal said in a statement to the press.

Lupe is well-known to be outspoken with his political beliefs, as Lupe has been quoted in the past stating that he refuses to pledge allegiance to the United States flag due to his belief that it goes against the Muslim faith.

In the past Lupe Fiasco has even gone as far as to call President Barack Obama a terrorist and refused to vote in last November’s elections.
