Lil Baby’s ‘It’s Only Me’ Tops Album Chart With Highest First-Week Sales Of His Career

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

Dominique “Lil Baby” Jones currently has the most popular album in America. The Atlanta rapper’s It’s Only Me opened at #1 on this week’s Billboard 200 chart.

It’s Only Me debuted in the top spot with 216,000 units. Lil Baby now has three chart-toppers in his discography following 2020’s My Turn and 2021’s The Voice of the Heroes with Lil Durk.

The 216,000 sales total for It’s Only Me is the highest first-week numbers of Lil Baby’s five-year career. His latest solo body of work also pulled in 289 million on-demand streams, the third-largest streaming week for any album in 2022.

Lil Baby Has Five Top 5 Entries On The Billboard 200

My Turn launched with 197,000 album-equivalent units. Lil Baby’s sophomore studio LP spent five nonconsecutive weeks at the pinnacle of the Billboard 200. The RIAA certified My Turn as 4x-Platinum in February 2022.

Last year, Lil Baby and Lil Durk’s The Voice of the Heroes claimed the Billboard 200’s pole position for one week. The Hip Hop duo’s first collaborative project racked up 150,000 first-week units. This became Durk’s first Number One.

Additionally, Lil Baby made it into the Billboard 200’s Top 5 with 2018’s Street Gossip. That commercial mixtape started at #2 with 88,000 first-week units. Baby’s 2018 also included the Drip Harder mixtape with Gunna collecting 130,000 first-week units for a #4 opening.

The QC Rapper Has No Plans To Release A Deluxe Edition Of It’s Only Me

For It’s Only Me, Lil Baby recruited Nardo Wick, Young Thug, Fridayy, Future, Rylo Rodriguez, Jeremih, EST Gee, and Pooh Shiesty as guest features. The 23-track album hosts the “Heyy” and “California Breeze” singles.

Lil Baby recently explained why his fans should not expect an extended version of It’s Only Me to drop in the future. On October 3, the Quality Control recording artist informed his Twitter followers about his decision to only present a standard edition of the album.

“I’m not going to try to do a deluxe. I’m just going to let that rock out, let that be it. I think I just want to go on and get it out there,” said Baby. He also added, “I had [the fans] waiting so long, I don’t even want to prolong it no more. Go on and knock this whole It’s Only Me out, and come on out with another album.”

Kanye West Gains Support Of White Supremacists In Los Angeles

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

Following Kanye West’s weeks-long tirade against BLM and Jewish people, many fellow rappers and corporations distanced themselves from Ye. It appears the superstar’s controversial takes have earned the backing of white supremacists.

According to Vice President of the ADL Center on Extremism, Oren Segal, a group of white supremacists showed support for Ye by hanging signs on a bridge over Interstate 405 in California. A photo also shows the men and women doing a Hitler salute.

On October 23, Oren Segal tweeted, “Yesterday, the head of an antisemitic and white supremacist group (and his supporters) dropped banners over the 405 in Los Angeles. One banner read, ‘Kanye is right about the Jews.'”

Kanye West found himself mostly on the wrong side of public opinion after posting he was “going death con 3 on JEWISH PEOPLE” in a now-deleted tweet. West then went on a media run where he further spouted blatant antisemitic rhetoric.

Kanye West Has Emboldened White Supremacists Before

White supremacists/white nationalists have used Kanye West’s words as tools for their bigoted cause in the past. Ye’s infamous “slavery is a choice” statement on TMZ became a favorite talking point for far-right recruiters.

In 2018, The Daily Beast published “Alt-Right Cheers Kanye West’s ‘Slavery Is a Choice’ TMZ Rant.” The article laid out how anti-Black sections of the internet praised Ye’s ahistorical view of chattel slavery in the United States.

Kanye West also gained approval from some of the more racist elements of former President Donald Trump’s MAGA base. By expressing his undying love for Trump during a White House visit in 2018, Ye further energized the Alt-Right movement.

Ye Also Took Aim At Black Lives Matter & George Floyd

Recently, Kanye West garnered praise from extreme right-wingers and backlash from many members of the Black community when he promoted a “White Lives Matter” shirt at his Paris fashion show. He then began attacking the Black Lives Matter movement.

While appearing on N.O.R.E.’s Drink Champs podcast, West falsely suggested that unarmed African-American George Floyd died from a drug overdose. Footage of then-Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin kneeling on Floyd’s neck for around nine minutes went viral in 2020. A jury convicted Chauvin of second-degree murder, third-degree murder, and second-degree manslaughter.

The Floyd family reportedly filed a $250 million intentional infliction of emotional distress and misappropriation lawsuit against Kanye West. The 45-year-old billionaire later offered an apology for his “death con” tweet.

West also stated, “I feel like I caused hurt and confusion. And I’m sorry for the families of the people that had nothing to do with the trauma that I have been through and that I used my platform, where you say hurt people hurt people, and I was hurt.”

Joe Budden Says Mal & Rory’s Plans Are Fueled By Hate For Him

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

The Joe Budden Podcast saga continues. Rory Farrell and Jamil “Mal” Clay parted ways with the brand in 2021, but both sides still seem to have some bad blood.

Mal Clay recently used his own podcast to basically accuse Joe Budden of theft. A recent episode of New Rory & Mal also included Clay taking partial credit for the success of Budden’s long-running talk show.

“I’m willing to go on your platform, your new show that still has my blood, sweat, and tears in it. And I know that’s what pains him,” said Mal. “Every time he pays for p####, that’s some of my money. Every vacation he takes a chick on, that’s some of my money he’s using. And that pains him.”

Rory and Mal used those quotes to promote the “Accountability In Culture Pt. II” episode of their podcast. The show’s official social media accounts posted a clip of Mal’s comments in order to attract engagement.

New Rory & Mal‘s “Accountability In Culture Pt. II” was a response to Joe Budden’s “Accountability In Culture” episode of The JBP. Budden decided to present yet another response to his former co-hosts on his latest podcast.

Joe Budden Says He Had To Stop Coddling People

This weekend’s “No More Teaching” edition of The Joe Budden Podcast featured its namesake defending his reputation. A segment of the program centered around Mal Clay’s claims of theft and jealousy.

“In this case, somebody who I considered a friend looked me in the face and said, ‘You’re stealing from me,'” recalled Joe Budden. “I said, ‘No, I’m not.’ Then they said, ‘Show me all the paperwork from 2015.’ I did that.”

The No Love Lost album creator continued, “Then they wanted a self-audit. I did that. Then I provided all these things. If you still think whatever you think at that point, what the f### do you want me to [do]?”

Joe Budden also added, “Then he’s saying whatever he’s saying which is ‘show me the paperwork, show me your taxes.’ Am I in the Matrix? You accused me of stealing. You gotta be s####### me… Then show it. It wouldn’t just be two years of whatever the f### you’re saying and whatever you think. It’s over now.”

In addition, Budden expressed, “Their plans wanted to be fueled on hate for Joe. My plans were only fueled on work ethic. That’s what I was betting on moving forward. At the end of the relationship, the product was bad. And the product is bad because people feel however they feel, and they’re bringing those feelings to work… So I have to make an executive decision at some point and stop coddling people.”

Latto Addresses Rumors Lil Wayne Denied Her “Lollipop” Sample Request

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

“Lollipop” was an international smash for Lil Wayne back in 2008. Tha Carter III track is back in the news this week thanks to internet gossip involving Atlanta-bred rapper Latto.

A Pop Base parody account had some Twitter users believing a story about Latto wanting to use elements of “Lollipop” for her own song. The “Big Energy” hitmaker took to social media to address the rumors.

“Lil Wayne denied Latto’s requests to sample his 2008 hit ‘Lollipop’ in upcoming single, HITSDD reports,” read the misleading tweet by the @PoeBase Twitter page.

Latto quote-tweeted @PoeBase’s now-deleted tweet. She told her 2.4 million followers, “POV: u don’t even have a song sampling lollipop 😂😂😂😂.”

This social media exchange came after Latto got into a heated back-and-forth with Nicki Minaj on Twitter two weeks ago. Minaj broke into the music business in the late 2000s as a protégé of Lil Wayne.

A Twitter Beef Between Latto & Nicki Minaj Likely Led To The “Lollipop” Rumor

The Latto versus Nicki Minaj public feud began over Minaj’s complaints about the Recording Academy moving her “Super Freaky Girl” single from the Grammys’ Rap categories to the Pop categories.

While calling out the Grammys, Nicki Minaj also suggested Latto’s “Big Energy” should be moved to the Pop section. The two stars apparently already had tension behind the scenes, so the Grammy controversy led to both women slamming the other on Twitter.

Latto has worked with Lil Wayne on music. The Rap Game reality show winner tapped Wayne and Childish Gambino for “Sunshine” off the 777 album. Latto dropped her second studio LP in March. The project peaked at #15 on the Billboard 200 album chart.

Lil Wayne’s “Lollipop” featuring Static Major won a Grammy Award for Best Rap Song in 2009. The Jim Jonsin-produced record spent five weeks at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The RIAA certified “Lollipop” as 8x-Platinum.

U.K. Rapper Lady Leshurr Charged With Assaulting Woman In Street Fight  

By: London JennnCategory: News

U.K. rapper Lady Leshurr will appear in court later today (Oct. 24) after being arrested following a street fight this weekend.  

The Birmingham artist who rose to fame in the U.K. with her Queen’s Speech freestyle series was arrested on suspicion of assaulting a woman during a fight on an East London street in the early hours of Saturday morning (Oct. 22).  

Footage of the arrest began circulating on social media. Cops led Lady Leshurr away in handcuffs before later charging her with two counts of assault occasioning actual bodily harm. 

https://twitter.com/CrimeLdn/status/1584307186842632192?s=20&t=DdaJjuLVP480wXOroxmn1w

Police said two 27-year-old women were taken to hospital following the altercation. They have since been discharged. 

Sherelle Smith, 28, was also arrested alongside the rapper, whose real name is Melesha O’Garro. She was charged with one count of assault occasioning actual bodily harm. They are both due to appear at London’s Thames Magistrates’ Court later today. 

Witnesses reported being awoken in the middle of the night by a “screaming match” between Lady Leshurr and two other women. 

“Lady Leshurr’s friend tried to pull her away to go back into the house after an argument,” one resident told U.K. tabloid The Sun.  

“One of the girls she’d been arguing with was in a car, and Lady Leshurr jumped into the car and tried to get her out.”  

Earlier this year, Lady Leshurr made headlines after she called out Cardi B. She accused the NYC rapper of using the beat and idea from one of her songs without crediting her. 

While last year Leshurr claimed she was offered $352,000 by her record label to call Nicki Minaj out on a diss track. However, she turned it down despite the huge sum because she was such a fan of Nicki.  

Rory & Mal Respond To Joe Budden’s Latest Claims: “I Know It Pains Him” 

By: London JennnCategory: News

Rory & Mal have responded to Joe Budden’s comments that they didn’t pull their own weight while they were a part of the Joe Budden Podcast. 

The former trio has fired shots at each other since unexpectedly parting ways last year. Mal had a direct reply for the retired rapper during the latest episode of the New Rory & Mal podcast. The duo titled the episode “Accountability in Culture Pt. 2,” in response to Joe Budden‘s “Accountability in Culture.” 

Mal responded to Joe’s claims that he didn’t bring anything to their show and challenged Joe to bring him on his new podcast.  

“I’m willing to go on your platform, your new show that still has my blood, sweat, and tears in it. And I know that’s what pains him,” Mal said. “Every time he pay for p####, that’s some of my money. Every vacation he takes a chick on, that’s some of my money he using. And that pains him. 

He continued, “The most money he ever made in his life, he made sitting next to me. I know that pains him, but we had a beautiful thing. It worked.” 

Rory chimed in, “I didn’t think it was such a hard thing to say. That the three of us built it together,” he said, before Mal added,” Every time he goes to the strip club, he throws singles; those is my faces on them singles. It hurts.”

There’s always been another n#### around to help you do it, and you don’t speak to them n##### no more neither so this is not Joe specifically. Stop putting s### on my name.

NLE Choppa Clarifies His Sexual Preference After Sharing Graphic Selfie 

By: London JennnCategory: News

NLE Choppa told fans he’s “comfortable” in his skin after sharing a revealing selfie celebrating his sex symbol status. 

The 19-year-old rapper took to Twitter on Sunday evening (Oct. 23) with a pair of mirror selfies. The pictures left little to the imagination as NLE Choppa posed in skin-tight black briefs and a matching tee. “A Whole Symbol …” he penned in the caption. 

https://twitter.com/Nlechoppa1/status/1584353652893810688?s=20&t=lpGRcB3-GHdkEfUr8WcjMQ

Admiring fans responded in their thousands, with people of all genders going crazy over the images.  

A couple of hours later, NLE Choppa returned with a message for anyone questioning why he shared the intimate selfie. 

“First and foremost I love myself,” the “Push IT” rapper tweeted. “And I’m comfortable enough in my skin to show the beauty God blessed me with.”  

NLE also clarified that while he’s fine with attracting “both genders,” he’s attracted to women. 

“Secondly I LOVE all so I don’t mind attracting both genders,” he continued. “But most importantly my sexual preference is women. Please stop trying to make me something I am not. 🙏” 

Meanwhile, earlier this week, NLE Choppa performed at the FedEx Forum for the Memphis Grizzlies’ season opener. “First Artist To Walk A NBA Team Out and It Was The Home Team,’ he wrote in a caption of the video accompanying the team out of the tunnel. 

However, the king of “firsts” Soulja Boy initially disagreed with the post, claiming he did it in 2019. A little while later, Soulja conceded he was wrong after fans pointed out he performed during the LA Clippers halftime show.  

“😂😂😂 half time. Walk out. same thing lol. Aight u got it lil bro Choppa did it 1st 🥇” 

Beyoncé Announces ‘Renaissance’ World Tour, First Tickets Auctioned For $50K 

By: London JennnCategory: News

Beyoncé fans have eagerly awaited confirmation of a Renaissance tour since the superstar songstress dropped her seventh studio album earlier this year. 

The rumor mill went into overdrive last month when reports began circulating that Beyoncé was looking for stadiums for a summer 2023 tour. While no official announcement came, the Beyhive began readying themselves for Bey’s first world tour in years. Beyoncé last hit the road with husband Jay-Z for their On The Run II Tour in 2018.  

Now, the speculation is over after the highly anticipated Renaissance Tour was announced on Saturday (Oct. 22) during WACO (Where Art Can Occur) Theater’s fifth annual Wearable Art Gala in Santa Monica, California. Jay-Z and Beyoncé attended the event founded by the singer’s mother, Tina Knowles-Lawson and her husband, actor Richard Lawson. 

Footage from the event circulated online confirmed a concert package for the Summer 2023 tour, valued at $20,000. The package details included “2 First Class International United Airline Polaris tickets to select cities, with 3-Night hotel accommodations at a Marriott Property.” Also offered were two concert tickets and a guided backstage tour with Beyoncé’s mother, Tina Knowles-Lawson. 

Beyoncé Fan Pays $50k For Two Renaissance Tour Tickets

Fans dug deep for the tickets, and a bidding war commenced, pushing the lot way past the valuation. A clip shows part of the auction, including one bid for $45,000. However, it’s believed the package actually sold for a whopping $50k. It’s all for a good cause, as the gala is a fundraiser in aid of WACO’s artistic and mentorship programs. 

The event was a family affair, with Beyoncé and Jay-Z attending with their daughter Blue Ivy. The ten-year-old decided to get involved in the auction with a big money offer on some jewelry. A pair of Lorraine Schwartz diamond earrings caught her eye, and Blue Ivy placed an $80K bid, jumping out of her chair while waving her paddle. Check out the clip below.  

While tickets for the “Renaissance Tour” are not yet on sale, Beyoncé fans are getting ready for her to take the show on the road. Check out some reactions.

Did Lil Wayne Turn Big Latto Down Over Sample?

By: illseedCategory: Rumors

There is an interesting war going on. It is a very subtle one, that is very interesting to me. So, lets get right to it. I am hearing that Lil Wayne has turned Latto down over her request to sample his 2008 hit “Lollipop.” First of all, it is hard to believe that song is almost 15 years old! Secondly, it seems like Hip-Hop is now cannibalizing itself now with the samples. Clearly, if you are 21 and younger, this song is probably not all that known to you. However, Latto knows.

So, there’s the “why?” in this situation. I think it is pretty evident. That situation with Nicki Minaj has come around to bit Latto in the butt. I cannot see Lil Tunechi having an issue making more moolah and getting more publishing from a hot young rapper. Right?! So, that’s what I think about this rumor. I think Wayne is showing supreme solidarity to his queen.

Anyway, all parties are going to be OK in this situation, but I definitely feel like they should work it out. Not that I am a fan of this sort of sampling, because I am not. Nevertheless, the older generation – the one or two before Wayne – gave up the samples. Wayne should pave it forward!

Here’s the original…

NLE Choppa Issues Another Challenge To Memphis Students

By: Kershaw St. JawnsonCategory: News

When rapper NLE Choppa gives a challenge, it seems the young people in his hometown will rise to the occasion and surpass the goals.

On Tuesday, Oct. 18, the 19-year-old rapper, whose real name is Bryson Lashun Potts and who attended Cordova High School, visited Cornerstone Prep Denver School to congratulate the students in the elementary school for reading 26 million words.

The kids participated in the first NLE Reading Challenge, but now, will they be able to rock with his second one? The chart-topper believes so.

“I’m back here because I’m trying to start spreading the message to get them to read 40 million this year. Last year, they read 26 million, which is crazy! So this year I’m trying to see if they can exceed that goal, 40 million,” he said to FOX 13.

Each scholar at the school have been dared to read at least 100 books or 100,000 words this new school year.

With only a quarter of the year in, 20 scholars already have read more than 100,000 words.

“They don’t even just see me as a rapper in me anymore at this point,” NLE says. “I think I’m a part of the faculty at this school. It’s just like a big brother little sister/brother bond and just to know that I got them and I’m never going to lead them astray.”

The “Walk Em Down” rapper said his being there, even challenging the kids to do something difficult, make them see him more as a celebrity.

“I feel like seeing me here letting them know that somebody cares, not even just a somebody, but somebody they look up to,” teenager said, further sharing how powerful it is for him to give back in a way that strengthens kids minds.

He hopes other rappers will follow suit.

“It made me feel so powerful, because the same way I feel the running statistic with a rapper is that we can tell the youth to pick a gun up, pick a drug up pick this up or do this, and for me to be able to be here and use my life for a positive, I feel like it inspires so many other rappers. Just like if they say something in the song if they preach the negative in their song to at least on the balance on the flip side, try to come back and do something beautiful for the community and the kids,” he said.

Maybe the challenge is not just for the kids but for his peers also. Now, who is going to top him with this outstanding service project?

Did Travis Scott Spend V-Day With A Side Chick? Speculation Grows And The Rapper Finally Explains Himself

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: Rumors

Travis Scott has hit back at “weird” speculation suggesting he recently cheated on Kylie Jenner.

Last week, model Rojean Kar took to her Instagram Stories to share a video of the rapper on the set of a video shoot and claimed she had been invited there.

A short time later, Scott – real name Jacques Webster – took to his own account to reject the allegation.

“It’s a lot of weird s### going on. An uninvited person was sneaking photos on, what was supposed to be, a closed set while I was directing a video,” he wrote. “I’m saying this for the last time. I don’t know this person. I’ve never been with this person. So please stop with the continuous cyber games and the fictional storytelling.”

However, the drama didn’t stop there.

Kar returned to Instagram to allege that she spent Valentine’s Day with Scott.

“This Valentine’s Day, I saw you. I ran out the door and you had every single girl I know blowing me up, like, ‘Trav’s asking for you, come back.’ Are we pretending that didn’t happen too? Like, come on. You cheat on that b#### every single f###### night. The whole f###### city sees it,” she stated.

In response, Scott posted a photo of a table set up for a romantic celebration and added in the caption, “If u wasn’t at this table on V day then u wasn’t with me.”

Travis Scott and Jenner are parents to a four-year-old daughter Stormi and an eight-month-old son.

Representatives for the reality TV star have not yet commented on the allegations but a close friend on the set supported Travis Scott’s side.

Has King Von’s Alleged Killer Been Arrested?

By: illseedCategory: Rumors

Timothy “Lul Tim” Leeks cannot seem to stay out of trouble. Last week, when a lot of people were preparing for college homecomings, Lul Tim was getting arrested. According to the Georgia Gazette, he was arrested on the 19th of October.

  • POSSESSION OF A SCHEDULE II CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE
  • MARIJUANA-POSSESS LESS THAN 1 OZ.
  • POSSESSION OF A SCHEDULE II CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE
  • POSSESSION OF A SCHEDULE I CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE

And the mug shot is pure “Black Boy Lost.” Tell me I am wrong.

I do wish I could make my hair go like that, but I am “Team Washed.”

There is not much else to say. Lul Tim is one of the main people accused of having a role in the death of King Von. I am not sure what he has been up to, but it cannot be a lot.

This dude was charged with the murder, but still managed to get a bond release from Fulton County Jail last year. He still has to wear an ankle monitor. Maybe the DA let him run around a bit so he could get in more trouble or they can get him and others in some RICO case.

By the way, I am not sure what to make if this report, but not a lot of people care about it. There’s not a lot out there.

Lupita Nyong’o New She Would Go Viral After Will Smith Smacked Chris Rock During The Oscar Awards

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

Lupita Nyong’o knew her reaction to Will Smith slapping Chris Rock at the 2022 Academy Awards would “be a meme.”

During the ceremony on March 27th, the “King Richard” actor walked onto the stage and slapped the comedian after he compared his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith – who has the medical condition alopecia – to G.I. Jane.

Nyong’o was seated near Smith, and shortly after the shocking moment, a meme showing her appearing to gasp began to circulate on the Internet.

“Once the moment was over, I realized, ‘Oh my God, there’s no way all this transpired, and I’m not in the shot,'” she sighed in an interview for The Hollywood Reporter. “I knew as soon as it was over that I was going to be a meme.”

Nyong’o declined to comment further on the incident.

“I don’t want to add any more fuel to that thing, quite frankly,” the 39-year-old added.

Smith apologized to Academy members and his peers during his acceptance speech for Best Actor at the film event and followed it up with a lengthy apology on Instagram the next day.

The 54-year-old subsequently resigned from the Academy and was banned from attending the Oscars for 10 years.

Cardi B Goes At Madonna After Twitter Post About “SEX” – But It Works Out!

By: illseedCategory: Rumors

Cardi B was born 30 years ago. Also, nearly at the same time Cardi was being born, Madonna dropped a seminal, controversial book called “SEX.”

“SEX” now sells for upwards of $1,000 on places like EBAY. Anyway, Madonna, who is now in her mid-60s, took to Twitter to pop her bra strap in honor of the ground-breaking book. She basically alleged that she wanted some thanks for “paving the way” for people like Cardi B, Kim Kardashian and others.

She said:

“30 years ago I published a book called S.E.X. In addition to photos of me naked there were photos of Men kissing Men, Woman kissing Woman and Me kissing everyone. Now Cardi B can sing about her WAP. Kim Kardashian can grace the cover of any magazine with her naked ass and Miley Cyrus can come in like a wrecking ball. You’re welcome b###hes.”

AND she ended it all with a clown emoji.

🤡
Now, Madonna. I know you are old, but you cannot be that clueless to think that would be received well. Cardi went OFF.

“I literally payed this woman homage so many times cause I grew up listening to her …she can make her point without putting clown emojis and getting slick out the mouth. These icons really become disappointments once u make it in the industry that’s why I keep to myself,” Cardi said in now-deleted tweets.

And then it all devolved.

The fans got into it and started slandering Cardi for not understanding the message and also race and colorism crept in. Cardi said, “…SAY WAT YOU WANT TO SAY BUT DONT INSULT ME THE F— …nobody gonna lil girl me (specially a white woman).”

Anyway, this has a good ending. They actually got on a phone and talked. They worked it out.


Madonna clearly had a senior moment. I am giving her a pass!

A few years ago, they were just as happy as they are now.

Kylie Jenner Couldn’t Stop Crying After Having Travis Scott’s Son

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

Kylie Jenner experienced the “baby blues” weeks after she welcomed her son.

The reality TV star and her boyfriend Travis Scott welcomed a baby boy in February, a sibling for their four-year-old daughter Stormi. Kylie has not yet announced the name of the tot.

During the latest episode of “The Kardashians,” the 25-year-old opened up to her older sister Kendall Jenner about how she had a “really hard” time after giving birth to her second child.

“I cried non-stop all day for the first three weeks. It’s just the baby blues, and then it kinda goes away. I had it with Stormi, too,” she shared, adding that she would sometimes cry so much that her head would “hurt.” “I’m not a doctor, but I read on Google they call it ‘baby blues’ when it doesn’t last past six weeks. After about six weeks, I started to feel better, but I definitely had a case of the blues.”

After childbirth, many women experience the “baby blues” or low mood due to sudden hormonal and chemical changes in the body. 

It differs from postnatal depression, whereby a new mother begins to battle increasing depression and anxiety amid other symptoms.

“I’m feeling better and not crying every day, so that’s great. I don’t have bad days with my body, I have bad days mentally and I need my first night out,” the make-up maven added.

John Legend Was A Selfish And Bad At Dealing With Impulse Control In The Early Days Of His Relationship With Chriss Teigen 

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

John Legend has admitted he “wasn’t a great partner” when he first started dating Chrissy Teigen because he was pretty selfish.

During an appearance on the “On Purpose with Jay Shetty” podcast, the “All of Me” singer acknowledged that he wasn’t ready to be a fully committed partner to Chrissy when they started dating in 2006.

“I think I was more selfish then,” he confessed. “I wasn’t a great partner at the beginning of our relationship. Even though I was very into her and very excited to be with her. I was still selfish. I was in my mid-20s, still not ready to fully be the committed partner that I am now.”

The 43-year-old, who married Chrissy in 2013, explained that he eventually understood the balance between what he wanted to get out of the relationship and what he needed to put in.

“When you stop being so selfish when you think about not only the joy you get from a situation and the pleasure you get from it, but also think about your responsibility and your commitment in that situation. You just grow, and you mature,” he said. “Part of it is it’s just a matter of time. You need time to become that person you want to be. I think in your mid-20s you’re still dealing with impulse control, you’re still dealing with selfishness, you’re still figuring out what you want to do in your career, all these things are happening. But when you figure these things out you can just be a better person in general.”

Their ever-evolving relationship inspired John to write “I Don’t Love You Like I Used To” for his recent album Legend.

John and Chrissy share two children – Luna, six, and Miles, four – and are currently expecting another baby.

Kanye Says He’s The Living Version Of Robert Kardashian And Kim’s Priest On Earth

By: Nolan StrongCategory: News

Ye’s tour of major media platforms continued with a 1:40-minute interview with Piers Morgan, which was released in full over the weekend.

The rap star sat down for an extensive interview with “Piers Morgan Uncensored,” where he reiterated anti-Semitic comments about Jewish people, his disdain for the left and the media, and his relationship with his ex-wife, Kim Kardashian.

During the lengthy interview, Ye talked about his plans to unveil the predatory practices in the entertainment and sports worlds, which he claimed were perpetuated mainly by people of the Jewish faith. He also apologized for hurting the Jewish community with his infamous “death con 3” tweet.

During the tense Q&A, Ye said he wanted to sit down with the top lawyers in the NFL, NBA, and the music and film industries and live stream them reviewing the contracts to prove his point that Jewish people were “raping” everyone.

“What’s gonna happen before I’m done? We’re going to open up all of the music industry contracts, all of the publishing deals, all of the athlete deals, all of the acting deals, all of the mortgages, all of the deals. But it has to start somewhere,” Ye said.

After almost an hour of back and forth with Piers about politics and religion, the conversation turned to his relationship with Kim Kardashian.

Ye criticized Kim’s recent cover for Interview Magazine, in which she posed semi-nude with her behind peeking out of a pair of low-rise jeans in front of an American flag.

“Kim has Zionist media handlers surrounding her all in and out her Hulu TV show, all in and out her family all in and out the house that I created for my family, but God is alive. The devil is a defeated foe,” Ye said.  

“Kim is a Christian woman. And she’s not here just to have content up on adult channels. She’s not here just to have that last Interview magazine cover. If you look at the two Interview magazine covers, look at the one when I was there, and look at the one when I’m not there. And that’s the reason why this Tuskegee experiment of such that’s happened to the Black community where they took the fathers out of the home and the leaders out of the community and have torn apart the community. Now they’ve seen that it’s worked, and they’re doing that to America. 

Kanye accused the media of using Kim and other famous people to oversexualize young children in America on behalf of the Democrats.

Piers pressed Ye about the current status of things between him and Kim. 

Ye said he often grappled with the concept of being divorced before stating they “would always be together” before declaring himself the priest of the Kardashian household.

“I’m still the priest of that home. They want to make it this matriarch society…but I am the priest of that home, and God is alive. I am the living Robert Kardashian. And I’m going to stand up for what God would want as a Christian.

“We’ll always be together. She dresses exactly like me. My kids are me, and there’s no person that she will ever get with that will influence her more than God and then her priest on earth, which is me,” Ye said.

Other highlights in the interview included Ye calling Piers Morgan “boy” during one testy exchange, claiming he gave Quentin Tarantino the idea for the movie “Django Unchained,” making fun of John Legend’s sweaters and walking out of the interview before eventually returning.
