Fans Choose The 1975’s ‘Being Funny in a Foreign Language’ as This Week’s Favorite New Music

The 1975‘s latest album, Being Funny in a Foreign Language, has topped this week’s new music poll.

Music fans voted in a poll published Friday (Oct. 14) on Billboard, choosing the British pop-rock band’s fifth studio project as their favorite new music release of the past week.

Being Funny in a Foreign Language beat out new music by Blink-182 (“Edging”), Lil Baby (It’s Only Me), Nessa Barrett (Young Forever), Red Hot Chili Peppers (Return of the Dream Canteen), and others.

The Jack Antonoff-produced album features previously released singles “Happiness,” “Part of the Band,” “I’m in Love With You” and “All I Need to Hear.” The set continues to offer the glimmering, alternative-tinged pop music longtime fans of the band know and love. Standout track “Oh Caroline” recalls The 1975’s work on its self-titled LP and sophomore release, I Like It When You Sleep, with 1980s-inspired synthesizers and concentrated efforts from every member in the band.

Trailing behind Being Funny in a Foreign Language on the fan-voted poll was Blink-182’s new song “Edging,” with almost 18% of the vote. Blink recently announced that the pop-punk trio’s original lineup of singer/guitarist Tom DeLonge, singer/bassist Mark Hoppus and drummer Travis Barker were reuniting for a new album and a world tour.

Placing third on the list was the “other” category, with 12.3% of the vote, followed by Lil Baby’s new album, It’s Only Me, with 11.5%.

Selena Gomez & Hailey Bieber Pose for Photos Together at Academy Museum Gala

Selena Gomez and Hailey Bieber united publicly, embracing one another for photos together Saturday night (Oct. 15).

Gomez and Bieber leaned in close and even shared a hug in front of the camera while attending the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures 2nd Annual Gala, which was presented by Rolex.

The smiling pair’s surprising appearance together comes after Hailey Bieber recently confronted longtime rumors that she “stole” husband Justin Bieber from Selena Gomez, his ex. She adamantly denied that narrative and opened up about the online hate she’s received on an episode of Alex Cooper’s Spotify podcast Call Her Daddy.

“It’s not in my character to mess with someone’s relationship … I’m not interested in doing that and I never was … I can say, period, point blank, I was never with him when he was in a relationship with anybody. That’s the end of it,” Hailey stated, later adding, “It’s about people knowing the truth, because there’s a truth.”

Following the revealing interview, Gomez shared some brutal honesty on how she feels about fans bullying others on her behalf. On a TikTok livestream, she said, “I think some of the things that I don’t even need to be aware of are just vile and disgusting, and it’s not fair, and no one, ever, should be spoken to in the manner that I’ve seen.”

The Los Angeles event where Gomez and Bieber crossed paths on Saturday honored Julia Roberts with the Academy inaugural Museum Gala Icon Award, Tilda Swinton with the Visionary Award, Steve McQueen with the Vantage Award and Miky Lee with the Pillar Award.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Diana Ross dropped in for a special surprise performance, and this year’s gala raised $10 million to support the museum’s access, education and programming initiatives.

Kanye West Talks George Floyd Death Theories, Calls Drake ‘Greatest Rapper Ever’ & More on ‘Drink Champs’

Kanye West is stirring up more controversy with part three of his interview on Drinks Champs.

The 45-year-old fashion mogul and rapper, who now goes by Ye, spoke with hosts N.O.R.E. and DJ EFN about numerous topics during the nearly 45-minute conversation, including his theories about George Floyd’s death, how Jewish people control media and entertainment, Drake‘s success in hip-hop, and much more.

Ye, who recently attended the premiere of conservative commentator Candace Owens’ new film, The Greatest Lie Ever Sold: George Floyd and the Rise of BLM, said he believes Floyd’s death was caused by fentanyl and not by suffocation from a police officer’s knee.

“I watched the George Floyd documentary that Candace Owens put out. One of the things that his two roommates said was they want a tall guy like me, and the day that he died, he said a prayer for eight minutes,” the rapper said. “They hit him with the fentanyl. If you look, the guy’s knee wasn’t even on his neck like that.”

Former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin was charged with third-degree murder and manslaughter in May 2020 after he knelt on Floyd’s neck, which ultimately resulted in the man’s death.

Ye also compared Floyd to late fashion designer Virgil Abloh. “This white company Louis Vuitton is now making statues of him as a martyr, and we don’t know why exactly [he died], they said it was cancer,” he said.

The Drink Champs interview follows a whirlwind of controversy that Ye has faced in recent weeks, including his removal from Twitter and Instagram for a string of anti-Semitic posts, along with backlash from his “White Lives Matter” shirt at Paris Fashion Week.

Elsewhere in the lengthy chat, Ye argued that he’s not anti-Semitic because he’s also a Jew as the “blood of Christ.” He also went off on Jewish people controlling the media and entertainment, and blamed “Jewish Zionists” for sensational articles about his ex-wife Kim Kardashian and her former boyfriend Pete Davidson.

“Jewish people have owned the Black voice,” Ye said. “Either it’s through us wearing the Ralph Lauren shirt, or it’s all of us being signed to a record label, or having a Jewish manager, or being signed to a Jewish basketball team, or doing a movie on a Jewish platform like Disney. I respect what the Jewish people have done, and how they brought their people together.”

The rapper also claimed that four concerts he had scheduled at Los Angeles’ So-Fi Stadium were canceled by stadium owners after his “Death Con 3” tweet.

“They been f—ing with me for too long,” Ye said. “They put the crazy narrative out there.” He added, “Paparazzi taking a photo of you, you ain’t getting no money off of it. You’re used to getting screwed by the Jewish media.”

Ye also touched on Drake’s successful career in hip-hop, calling the Canadian MC “the greatest rapper ever. “I don’t apologize about it,” said the rapper, who was previously beefing Drizzy.

Stray Kids Notch Second No. 1 on Billboard 200 With ‘Maxident’

Stray Kids ring up their second No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 — and second of 2022 — as MAXIDENT debuts atop the list (dated Oct. 22). The eight track set bows with 117,000 equivalent album units earned in the U.S. in the week ending Oct. 13, according to Luminate. The South Korean group notched its first chart-topper on the April 2 list, with its first charting effort, ODDINARY.

Both ODDINARY and MAXIDENT were released via JYP/Imperial/Republic Records.

Maxident is the fourth album by a South Korean act to lead the Billboard 200 in 2022, following BLACKPINK’s Born Pink, BTS’ Proof and ODDINARY. In 2021, there were zero No. 1s by a South Korean act, and in 2020 there were two (BTS’ Map of the Soul: 7 and BE).

Also in the top 10 of the new Billboard 200, Takeoff and Quavo’s collaborative album, Only Built for Infinity Links, debuts at No. 7, G Herbo’s Survivor’s Remorse: Side A bows at No. 9, and Charlie Puth’s Charlie debuts at No. 10.

The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption as measured in equivalent album units, compiled by Luminate. Units comprise album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). Each unit equals one album sale, or 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 3,750 ad-supported or 1,250 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album. The new Oct. 22, 2022-dated chart will be posted in full on Billboard‘s website on Tuesday (Oct. 18). For all chart news, follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both Twitter and Instagram.

Of MAXIDENT’s 117,000 equivalent album units earned, album sales comprise 110,000, SEA units comprise 7,000 (equaling 9.61 million on-demand official streams of the set’s eight tracks) and TEA units comprise a negligible sum.

MAXIDENT’s 110,000 sold marks the fourth-largest sales week of any album in 2022. Of that sum, 97% were CD sales (107,000), while 3% were digital album sales (3,000). The set was not available in any other configuration (such as vinyl LP or cassette).

The CD configuration of the album was issued in collectible packages (10 total, including exclusive variants for Barnes & Noble, Target and the group’s official webstore), each with a standard set of internal paper items and randomized elements (such as photocards, mini posters and stickers). CD sales were also aided by autographed editions sold via the act’s webstore.

MAXIDENT bows at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 only six months and three weeks after ODDINARY opened atop the list. The last act with a shorter wait between new No. 1s was Young Thug, with six months between the Young Stoner Life: Slime Language 2 (credited on the chart to Young Thug & Various Artists; May 1, 2021, chart) and Punk (Oct. 30, 2021). The last act with a shorter wait between No. 1s excluding those co-billed with a cast of various artists was Taylor Swift, who waited a more scant four months between the first weeks at No. 1 for Evermore (Dec. 26, 2020) and Fearless (Taylor’s Version) (April 24, 2021). The last group to have a shorter wait between No. 1s was BTS, with just three months and one week between its first two No. 1s: Love Yourself: Tear (June 2, 2018) and Love Yourself: Answer (Sept. 8, 2018).

ODDINARY and MAXIDENT are Stray Kids’ first two albums to chart on the Billboard 200. Thus, the group maintains a perfect record on the list, landing No. 1 albums with its first two entries. Stray Kids made their overall Billboard chart debut in 2017 on the World Digital Song Sales chart (which ranks the week’s top-selling world music digital songs) and landed their first entry on a Billboard album chart in 2018 with Mixtape. In 2018-21, the act accumulated 10 top 10-charting albums on Billboard‘s World Albums chart (which ranks the week’s most popular world music titles). Stray Kids did not reach the all-genre Billboard 200 with any release until this April with ODDINARY, which marked the act’s first release in the U.S. through JYP’s partnership with Imperial/Republic.

MAXIDENT is mostly in the Korean language, but includes a fair amount of English lyrics. Notably, itis the 16th mostly non-English language album to hit No. 1 and the fourth in 2022. Earlier in the year, there were mostly non-English No. 1s from BTS’ mostly-Korean Proof, Bad Bunny’s all-Spanish Un Verano Sin Ti and the mostly-Korean ODDINARY.

While Stray Kids have yet to chart a song on the U.S.-based Billboard Hot 100 chart (through the most recently published list, dated Oct. 15), the group has notched a trio of songs on the Billboard Global 200 and six on the Billboard Global 200 Excl. U.S. tally. The act last charted on both lists with the ODDINARY single “Maniac,” peaking at Nos. 21 and 15, respectively.

Bad Bunny’s Un Verano Sin Ti falls to No. 2 on the Billboard 200 after 13 nonconsecutive weeks atop the list (76,000 equivalent album units earned; down 9%).

Beyoncé’s former No. 1 Renaissance rallies 6-3 with 75,000 equivalent album units (up 145%) after the wide release of its vinyl album on Oct. 7.

Morgan Wallen’s chart-topping Dangerous: The Double Album dips 3-4 on the Billboard 200 with 46,000 equivalent album units earned (down less than 1%).

Dangerous: The Double Album has now accumulated 91 nonconsecutive weeks in the top 10 on the Billboard 200. It now solely has the fifth-most weeks in the top 10 among all albums since the chart began publishing on a regular, weekly basis in March of 1956. The all-time top 10 record-holder is the original cast recording of My Fair Lady, with 173 weeks in the top 10 between 1956-60. See list, below.

Albums With Most Weeks in Top 10 on Billboard 200 Chart (March 24, 1956-onwards):

(through the Oct. 22, 2022-dated chart)

The Weeknd’s compilation The Highlights falls 4-5 on the Billboard 200 with 40,000 equivalent album units earned (up 1%), while Harry Styles’ former leader Harry’s House moves 5-6 with 34,000 (down 1%).

Takeoff and Quavo’s collaborative set, Only Built for Infinity Links, bows at No. 7 with 33,500 equivalent album units earned. Of that sum, SEA units comprise 31,000 (equaling 41.13 million on-demand official streams of the set’s 18 tracks), album sales comprise 2,000 and TEA units comprise 500. It’s the second top 10-charting set for Takeoff (following The Last Rocket, No. 4 in 2018) and the second for Quavo (after Quavo Huncho, No. 2, also in 2018).

Takeoff and Quavo also comprise two-thirds of Migos, which logged three top 10s, including a pair of No. 1s in Culture and Culture II (in 2017 and 2018, respectively). Migos’ third member, Offset, is due to release a solo album on Nov. 11. He’s previously logged two top 10s on the Billboard 200 (Without Warning, with 21 Savage and Metro Boomin, No. 4 in 2017; and Father of 4, No. 4 in 2019). As for Migos, the act is on an indefinite hiatus.

Zach Bryan’s American Heartbreak is pushed down 7-8 on the Billboard 200 despite a 1% gain (to 28,000 equivalent album units).

G Herbo notches his third top 10 album on the Billboard 200 with the No. 9 debut of Survivor’s Remorse: Side A, which launches with 27,500 equivalent album units earned. Of that sum, SEA units comprise 27,000 (equaling 36.44 million on-demand official streams of the set’s tracks), album sales comprise 500 units and TEA units comprise a negligible sum. The project was initially released as a 12-track standard album on Oct. 7, and was reissued in a deluxe form on Oct. 10 with 13 additional tracks (dubbed Survivor’s Remorse: Side A & Side B).

Charlie Puth rounds out the top 10 of the new Billboard 200 with his third full-length album, Charlie, which bows at No. 10. All three of his full-length studio projects have debuted in the top 10. The new set starts with 26,500 equivalent album units earned, of which SEA units comprise 16,000 (equaling 21.26 million on-demand official streams of the set’s 12 tracks), album sales comprise 9,500 and TEA units comprise 1,000.

Charlie was preceded by a pair of top 30-charting hits on the Billboard Hot 100: “Light Switch” and “Left and Right,” the latter featuring Jung Kook (of BTS).

Kanye West Gives Update On ‘Watch The Throne 2’ With JAY-Z

Kanye West has reignited excitement for Watch The Throne 2 by seemingly confirming a sequel to his and JAY-Z’s 2011 album is in the works.

In an early segment from his latest Drink Champs interview tweeted out by N.O.R.E. on Saturday (October 15), the controversial Chicago rapper gave an update on the long-awaited project, which is apparently back on the cards.

“This D’usse is brought to you by my brother Hov,” Ye said in the clip, plugging JAY-Z’s Cognac brand. “Courtesy of The Throne. Part 2 coming soon.”

Watch The Throne 2 has long been anticipated, thanks in part to teasers from both rappers, as well as those within their respective camps. In September 2018, Kanye West reignited excitement for the album when he tweeted: “throne2 coming soon.”

Justin Laboy, who became something of a spokesperson for Ye during the rollout for DONDA, stoked the fire again last August when he tweeted: “Watch The Throne 2 coming end of the year. Kanye & Hov about to make history AGAIN.”

However, concrete evidence suggesting the project is close to being released remains scarce, and while Kanye West and JAY-Z reunited on the DONDA track “Jail” last year, the former Roc-A-Fella running mates don’t appear to be as close as they once were.

Elsewhere in his Drink Champs interview, which clocked in at over three hours long, Kanye West stirred more controversy by proclaiming Drake the “greatest rapper ever,” while also insinuating he had an intimate relationship with his former mother-in-law Kris Jenner.

Ye previously alluded to the alleged rendezvous on Instagram earlier this month, writing: “Drake a fuck ya baby mama’s mama[.] That’s real war.”

“Yeah that was hard,” he said after N.O.R.E. quizzed him about the post. “You know what it mean… Aye, Corey [Gamble] know what it mean,” he added, referencing Jenner’s longtime boyfriend.

JAY-Z Addresses Kanye West’s ‘Copycat’ Claims Hurled At ‘Blueprint’ Producer Just Blaze

November 5, 2021

Kanye West first appeared on Drink Champs in November 2021, where he addressed the original Watch The Throne and called JAY-Z “selfish” for refusing to give up solo material for the album.

“I took a track off of what was gonna be my album, the follow-up to [My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy]. It was the ‘Otis’ sample,” Ye said. “I chopped it up and I was gonna go to Milan to do something in fashion and I was about to be late for the flight … ‘Cause I was like, ‘Yo, we not gonna lose this game no matter what. I’m gonna give you all this.’

“I took ‘New Day’ off of my next album, I took ‘Otis’ off of my next album. And we got into this big argument because he had this song called ‘Holy Grail’ that he had Justin Timberlake singing on. And I was like, ‘We need to put this on this album.’

“And then he was like, ‘Nah.’ Everybody knows Jay is very selfish … We all love him but, you know, he’s very selfish. He’ll say like, ‘Man, I’m selfish.’ So he wouldn’t give that song. I’m like, ‘Man, how I’m giving all of this?’”

Megan Thee Stallion Holds Back Tears During Emotional ‘SNL’ Performance

Megan Thee Stallion appeared visibly shaken during one of her performances on Saturday Night Live this weekend, where she pulled double duty as both host and musical guest.

Wearing a formal evening gown and a sash reading “Miss Anxiety,” Meg opened a subdued performance of the song “Anxiety” standing in a v-formation with five dancers. Each of the dancers represented one of the personal issues address in the personal song — their sashes reading: “Ms. Underpaid,” “Ms. Overworked,” “Ms. Overwhelmed,” “Ms. Overlooked,” and “Ms. Insecure.”

As Megan Thee Stallion closed out the song’s hook, highlighted by the words “bad bitches have bad days too,” her facial expression seemed to become more solemn and serious than it already was. When she began rapping the second verse — which finds her imagining writing a letter to her mother, who passed away in 2019 — the Houston-native began fighting back tears.

Despite quickly regaining her composure, she once again got emotional at the end of the performance. Check it out below.

https://youtube.com/watch?v=2-44oNTMZws

In September, Megan Thee Stallion launched a website which derives its name from the hook, BadBitchesHaveBadDaysToo.com, which is a mental health resource. According to CNN, the site connects visitors to free therapy organizations, various crisis hotlines, and organizations that provide support for marginalized communities.

Meg — who received a Bachelor of Science in Health Administration from Texas Southern University last year — plugged the website during her monologue on Saturday night’s (October 15) episode, telling the audience and viewers that she “believes it’s important to have a sharp mind and a sharp body-ody.”

The monologue also featured a moment when Tina Snow teased a statement about “a certain incident.” However, rather than speak to the recent rumors she’s had to address about Da Baby or Nicki Minaj, or her ongoing case against Tory Lanez, she pivoted to a joke.

“No, I don’t know why Popeyes took the Hottie Sauce off the menu,” she quipped. “And hotties if you want the sauce back, you need to take that up with the Popeyes Lady, not me, okay?”

In addition to “Anxiety,” Meg’s duties as musical guest also found her delivering a more animated, metal-inspired medley performance of “NDA” and “Plan B,” with the support of a full band. As the episode’s host, she appeared in a total of six skits.

Fans can likely expect to see more of the Hot Girl Coach’s budding acting skills on the small screen. Just ahead of her appearance on the Disney+ series She-Hulk, Meg said in an interview that she would be interested in starring in a reboot of Bring It On.

“I always have wanted to be Isis,” she told The Cut, referring to the cheerleader played by Gabrielle Union in the original. “I would be perfect for that. If they were ever to make a new Bring It On, I should be that character.” The statement came just days after Union hinted that reboot could be something on the horizon.

Earlier this month, she hinted at a future appearance or collaboration with Netflix’ Stranger Things.

Ice Cube Accuses NBA & ESPN Of Trying To ‘Destroy’ BIG3 Basketball League

Ice Cube has insinuated that he believes there may be a concerted effort to limit the heights he’s able to reach with his three-on-three basketball league, BIG3.

The statement followed a post made by NBA veteran-turned-podcast host Stephen Jackson encouraging more fans to support the league, which is gearing up for its sixth season.

Cube reposted the clip and called the NBA and ESPN out for their apparent lack of support.

Ice Cube did not offer examples of further details of whatever conflict may exist. However, this isn’t the first time he’s addressed the NBA’s lack of recognition or support for BIG3.

The Friday star first spoke out in 2020, when he believed the professional league had stolen from his camp when they changed the format of the 2020 NBA All-Star Game. Last year, Cube spoke at length about the discord in an interview with Basketball News.

“The NBA hasn’t been the nicest to the BIG3,” Cube said. “Of course, publicly, they say all the right words. But we know privately, there’s things done behind the scenes [with] sponsors, broadcasters, blah blah blah… It did tarnish my fandom a bit.”

On Friday (October 14), BIG3 announced a new milestone in the company’s evolution with the announcement that it had officially been certified as a Black-owned and operated business by ByBlack and the U.S. Black Chambers, Inc.

The recognition places Cube and his partners within ByBlack’s expanded network, putting BIG3 in position to work directly with Black businesses at every stage and foster relationships with Black Chambers across the country, thus supporting the league’s commitment to supporting Black entrepreneurs.

“From day one, the league has been dedicated to providing opportunities for Black players, fans, investors, and partners,” Cube said, “and we are proud to be a part of a nationwide network of Black business owners.”

While his relationship with the NBA is dicey, Ice Cube’s recently founded Contract with Black America has launched a partnership with the NFL, through which the football organization has earmarked $125 million to invest in and partner directly with Black-owned businesses.

From ‘Hot Girl Hospital’ Nurse to Twerking Workout Coach, Here Are Megan Thee Stallion’s Best Moments While Hosting ‘SNL’: Watch

Megan Thee Stallion showcased her comedy skills while pulling double duty as host and musical guest during Saturday Night Live on Oct. 15.

The 27-year-old Houston rapper opened the iconic NBC sketch comedy show with a fiery monologue in which she addressed all of her various monikers. “If you know me, then you know I go by more than one name,” Meg said, rattling off titles like Tina Snow, the Hot Girl Coach and the H-Town Hottie. “And if you’re one of my many, many haters, I’m probably, ugh, ‘That B—-.’”

She also playfully bragged about being a good actress and even demonstrated her best British accent. “Alright, check this out. Put me in Bridgerton, b—-,” said the rapper, who recently made a cameo in the Disney+ show She Hulk: Attorney at Law.

Elsewhere on SNL, Megan appeared in numerous hilarious sketches, ranging from a dismissive nurse in a hospital dedicated to “bad b—es” (the rapper actually received a health administration degree in in 2021) to a twerking workout coach helping those who haven’t been “butt blessed.” She also appeared in a pre-recorded musical sketch where three strangers awkwardly get stuck together in a club.

In between skits, Meg delivered three tracks from her August-released sophomore album, Traumazine, which peaked at No. 4 on the Billboard 200. She started by channeling a beauty pageant with “Anxiety,” and followed with rocked-up versions of “NDA” and “Plan B.”

Though this marked Meg’s first time hosting SNL, she previously appeared on sketch comedy program as a musical guest in 2020 to perform her hit songs “Savage” and “Don’t Stop.”

Jack Harlow will be the next artist to pull double duty as host and musical guest when he takes over SNL on Oct. 29.

Megan Thee Stallion Channels Beauty Pageant & Brings Out Full Rock Band on ‘SNL’: Watch

Megan Thee Stallion expertly delivered songs from her latest album while pulling double duty as host and musical guest during Saturday Night Live on Oct. 15.

In between her hilarious sketches, the 27-year-old superstar rapper performed three tracks from her August-released sophomore album, Traumazine, which peaked at No. 4 on the Billboard 200.

For her first song, with an introduction by SNL cast member Bowen Yang, Meg channeled a beauty pageant while performing “Anxiety.” With a large tiara set as the backdrop, the rapper donned a beautiful red sequence dress while wearing a white sash that read “Miss Anxiety.” She was backed by numerous dancers who also wore sashes with such messages as “Overworked,” “Underpaid,” “Insecure,” “Overwhelmed” and “Overlooked.”

Megan returned later in the show, this time introduced by SNL‘s Kenan Thompson, for a medley of “NDA” and “Plan B.” The in-your-face performance launched with an arena-rock intro from a full band as Megan addressed her “SNL Hotties” and “Hotties at home” before blasting through the opening lines of “NDA.” Dressed in all black and sporting a pair of dark sunglasses, the rapper later transitioned into a rocked-up version of “Plan B.”

Though this marked Meg’s first time hosting SNL, she previously appeared on sketch comedy program as a musical guest in 2020 to perform her hit songs “Savage” and “Don’t Stop.”

A day before her SNL appearance, Megan noted on social media that she would be taking some time off after the show. TMZ reported that the rapper’s Los Angeles home was broken into and more than $300,000 worth of personal property was stolen. “Hotties im really sorry but after SNL I really gotta take a break I’m so tired, physically and emotionally,” she wrote on Twitter.

Kanye West Calls Drake ‘Greatest Rapper Ever,’ Suggests He Slept With Kris Jenner

Kanye West has implied that Drake once slept with Kris Jenner, the mother of his ex-wife Kim Kardashian.

The bombshell claim came during Ye’s latest Drink Champs interview on Saturday (October 15), where he alluded to the OVO hitmaker having sex with the reality TV star, who is 31 years his senior.

Kanye began by heaping high praise on Drake — with whom he made peace last December following a high-profile feud — unapologetically crowning him “the greatest rapper ever.”

He was then asked by Drink Champs co-host N.O.R.E. about a recent Instagram post where he claimed Drizzy will “fuck ya baby mama’s mama.”

“Yeah that was hard,” Ye replied as the room erupted in laughter. “You know what it mean… Aye, Corey [Gamble] know what it mean,” he added, referencing Jenner’s longtime boyfriend.

Kanye West alluded to Drake and Kris Jenner’s alleged rendezvous during his Instagram posting spree following the backlash to the “White Lives Matter” shirt he wore at his Yeezy Season 9 show in Paris earlier this month.

“Drake a fuck ya baby mama’s mama[.] That’s real war,” he wrote in an iPhone Note on October 6 along with the caption: “Bernard Arnault weak,” referencing the LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton chairman who he recently accused of “killing” Virgil Abloh.

Kanye never revisited the topic, although he did namedrop Drake numerous more times on Instagram — including thanking him for liking one of his posts in the face of widespread condemnation over his controversial shirt.

“EVERYONE KNOWS ME AND DRAKE HAVE HAD A RIVALRY IN THE PAST IT REALLY WARMED MY HEART TO SEE DRAKE LIKE ONE OF MY POST,” Ye wrote. “WE STILL NEED THE DONDA TEAM TO PLAY NOCTA ALL DRAKE MUSIC WILL BE PLAYED AT DONDA GAMES MOVING FORWARD.”

This isn’t the first time salacious rumors have surfaced about Drake and the Kardashian-Jenner clan. In 2018, speculation arose that the Toronto rapper slept with Kim Kardashian during his feud with Kanye West thanks to various suggestive song lyrics that were interpreted as references to the SKIMS founder.

During his previous appearance on Drink Champs last November, Kanye shot down the notion that Drake slept with Kardashian, with whom he shares four children and is currently entangled in a bitter divorce.

“I had this conversation where Drake was like, ‘I never fucked Kim.’ But I was like, ‘But you acted like you did,’” he said. “You got bars that’s like, ‘Hidden Hills, give your wife the chills.’ It’s like somebody throwing a marble and hiding their hand. All that’s disrespectful.

“It [got] to the point where Kim was like, ‘I don’t listen to this n-gga no more. This n-gga acting like he fucked.’ [Drake and I] never really had that conversation like, ‘Oh, I never fucked Kim.’ No, but did you ever DM her? Everything else around it. ‘Cause it ain’t about just the actual act of it.”

Kardashian denied the rumors herself in 2018 when she commented on a clip of Nick Cannon discussing the topic during an appearance on Everyday Struggle. “Never happened. End of story,” she wrote on The Shade Room’s Instagram post.
