Kanye West’s $5,800 Giuseppe Zanotti shoes are causing a bit of a tizzy in the modeling world. According to model Jourdan Dunn, the shoes which she wore in his show during Paris Fashion Week are “sexy” but painful to walk in.
Model Leomie Anderson tweeted that Dunn got cursed out by West for complaining about the shoes.

The shoes are calf skin, adorned with pearls, and feature a 4-inch heel. The shoes are sold exclusively in Paris at the ultra-trendy boutique, Colette.

Kanye West’s second Paris Fashion Week show is scheduled for today, where he will debut his Fall Winter 2012 collection. West’s Paris debut was blasted by critics last year and prompted him to restyle the line, launching DONDA, a design house dedicated to his late mother.

There is an overt, outright Tupac diss out there. YEP. We’ve heard it. Well, when we heard it – years ago.  To be clear, this is not the subtle, slick talk disses that we know Biggie did. This is a diss song. While we don’t know the status of the diss, I will say this, we are almost certain that it is in a vault somewhere. Now, just to be clear, this diss serves no positive purpose, but as a rumor it’s golden. Definitely would like to hear it!

Hip-Hop Rumors: Shyne Finally Publicly Forgives Diddy! Meets Up with Him in Paris!

It looks like Shyne has finally forgiven Diddy for costing him 10 years of his life in prison! Diddy and Shyne made their first public appearance together at a Paris fashion show earlier this week and then headed to dinner with Diddy’s jump-off/R&B singer Cassie. Check out the photos Diddy and Cassie posted on Instagram.

Shyne revealed in January that he had spoken to Diddy on the phone and agreed to meet up with him in the future.
“As far as Puff is concerned, that’s been a long time coming,” “He had reached out to me twice while I was in the pen, but I just wasn’t ready for it. I felt how I felt, I said what I said. In retrospect, when you looked at the way he handled it, he held it down, he wore it,” Shyne said of Diddy. “He ain’t had nothing to say; always had good things to say. It was always, ‘Yo, whatever Shyne need, we got him.'”

Glad they were able to make peace with each other.

Lumidee, best known for her hit single “Never Leave You” (Uh-Oooh, Uh-Oooh), recently tweeted that she had just signed with Lil’ Wayne and YMCMB!

With all of the signings over at YMCMB lately, this was almost believable. Alas, Lumidee claimed that her Twitter was hacked and she has not signed with anyone. Uh, oh. So much for that!

Ice Cube Reveals the Not-So-Salacious Scoop Behind “It Was a Good Day”

(AllHipHop News) While it may be good to take it for what it’s worth, Ice Cube’s#### song, “It Was a Good Day” has proven to be anything but simple for anyone trying to take its lyrics to heart.

Speaking with The Huffington Post, the rapper/actor revealed the basis for his Isley Brothers-sampled tune, saying his “good day” was nothing more than a made up account of a what would make for a good 24 hours.

“You know — it’s a song. It’s a fictional song. It’s basically my interpretation of what a great day would be. Do you know what I’m saying?” Cube confessed. “So, you know, it’s a little of this and a little of that. I don’t think you can pinpoint the day.”

Ice Cube’s comments come amid speculation on what specific day his song references. According to Donovan Strain, a blogger on www.murkavenue.tumblr.com, January 20, 1992, is the day the entertainer recalled when thinking about his mom cooking “a breakfast with no hog,” the Lakers beating the Supersonics, getting a beep from “a girl I wanna dig out,” weather with no smog, and nobody he knew getting killed in South Central L.A.

That day was later disputed by another blogger, who concluded on that November 30, 1988, was Ice Cube’s “good day.” Despite the debate, the rap veteran, who had heard about the talk surrounding the day in question, admits that it “could have been all of those days.”

The response is a step up from the statement the lyricist issued in January through his publicist in response to the inquiries. Media sources report that Cube’s publicist relayed the rap star’s reaction, which was summarized with “Nice try” for even trying to figure out what specific day was at the center of the tune.

Ice Cube’s insight into “It Was a Good Day” was made while promoting his upcoming film, a big screen version of the classic ‘80s television show, 21 Jump Street. The action comedy, which also stars Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum, is slated to hit theaters on March 16.
