Kanye West swung by The Ellen Degeneres Show and not only dished on marriage and his Adidas deal but also world premiered his new video for his Paul McCartney-assisted single “Only One.”

When it comes to marriage, Kanye says Kim K has changed him for the better.

“I’ve definitely learned how to compromise more which is something you have to understand when you partner with people in business and I’ve learned how to shut up more,” he laughed. “I think I’m a better human being because of her and my daughter. [I have] something for me to not only to be brave for what I want to do for humanity, but also to be more protective of myself for my family, because there’s things I’ve done in the past that were considered negative, but I was really jumping in front of the tank for other people, or for culture, in a way. So now, I always have to have that in my mind that I have a family that I have to protect, too.”

When Ye’ went on his infamous interview run in 2013, he went on rants about big corporations not giving him a chance and being blind to the fact that he was a visionary. He says that now he is partnered with Adidas he has more creativity to express himself through fashion.

“There were so many things I wanted to do with film with clothing and I just didn’t have the words or the resources or the backing or the perception that I could do it being I was I was a rapper and all these things. With this Adidas deal they’ve allowed me a little bit of Oxygen. Adidas allowed me to make my own clothing line which is something I wanted to do.”

When it comes to having more kids, Mr. West says “I just want whatever Kim wants.”

Watch the “Only One” video below, which was directed by Spike Jonze and features only Kanye and his daughter North in the middle of a field on a foggy day.

ASAP Rocky is on an emotional roller coaster. He has a supporting role in the most talked about film at the Sundance Film Festival, Dope, but he also lost his best friend ASAP Yams two weeks ago.

In the midst of his grief he sat down for an interview to discuss how he got the role in Dope, which was recently sold to Open Road Films/Sony.

“I was helping Chanel with her lines, and there was one role where I was like, ‘Oh, this dumb kid, he seems a little interesting. I want to go for it,'” Rocky told The New York Times. “I was actually in London recording my album, and I figured I’d just send a video in. So I sent two videos, and they liked them. And two months later, when I flew to L.A., I met up with Rick and did an audition in front of him, and he just decided to go with me. To be honest with you, I was worried that I didn’t get the role. I was p#####.”

The Harlemnite also spoke about the future of his acting career, saying that he wants to earn his props and not be given roles because of who he is.

“I like sci-fi films. I like action-packed thrillers — with, like, conspiracy theories. If I’m starring in a movie, I just want people to understand that I’m not a celebrity trying to use his status to finagle his way into Hollywood, you know? I really want to start from the bottom.”

Flacko spoke about a few words about Yams as well, who was laid to rest earlier this week.

“I miss him,” he said. “Yams was my Yoda. He’s my brother. He left too soon, but I cherished every moment that I knew him.” He continued “All I can tell you is that A$AP Yams was one of the most influential hip-hop pioneers of today. I have him and Danger Mouse executive chef-ing this mystical magical piece that we call art, my music today.”

Ludacris Gets Full Custody Of His Baby Daughter

Ludacris has been awarded full custody of his young daughter, Cai, a 13-month old child born to Tamika Fuller.

A court deemed the rapper as the more “fit and proper parent” to take care of the child, whose full name is Cai Bella Bridges.

The rapper was immersed in a serious, contentious dispute with Fuller.

“After review of all the evidence, the testimony of the witnesses, the report of the guardian ad litem, and the claims made throughout this entire case, I am gratified that the judge found me to be the most fit and proper parent to have primary physical custody of our beautiful daughter,” Luda told People magazine in a statement.

Fuller revealed that Ludacris, real name Chris Bridges, requested her to get an abortion when they found out she was with child.

“I told him the same day that I found out. He was not happy. He cried. It wasn’t that he wasn’t happy because he did say, ‘This wasn’t something that we planned. Let’s move forward and get an abortion. We’re not going to have a family. The baby is not going to be with the mother and the father in the same house,” she maintained. “This is all bad.’ [He said] it would ruin his life. It’s going to ruin his career.”

The court charged that the damaging and public remarks Fuller made hurt her. She attempted to also get more money from the rapper in the form of child support. She also publicly aired out a lot of the rapper’s professional finances, which was viewed negatively from a judge.

The baby was conceived while Luda was publicly with then-girlfriend Eudoxie, who is now his wife.

He has a 13-year-old daughter named Karma, a teen from another relationship altogether.

Now y’all know a while back Amber Rose made it no secret that she felt Kim Kardashian was a homewrecker and that she played a part in she and Yeezy’s breakup.

Well now that Rose is single and back on the prowl, word is she may want the love of her life back.

The Sun reports that Rose has been wearing similar outfits as Kim, allegedly “toning” down her look to catch Yeezy’s attention.

From The Sun:

“In October, just a month after she filed for divorce from Wiz Khalifa — ending their 14-month marriage — Amber Rose posted a cheeky belfie that was strikingly similar to Kim Kardashian’s infamous effort a year before.
And less than a week after Kim dressed down for Paris Fashion Week in September, Amber stepped out in a similar look.
She has reportedly also been sending private messages to Kanye in a bid to win back the “love of her life”.

Don’t know how much to believe with this one. We’ll keep an eye on it though…
