A video just hit the internet of a phone call between Kanye West and Diddy, who’s locked up right now, and the convo was interesting, to say the least
Diddy, still keeping his energy up despite being behind bars, told Ye straight up, “Man, you gotta start smiling again. Get back in that lab and cook up.” He made it clear that once he’s out, he’s hitting the ground running no time wasted, just straight to the music and living his best life. In the background, you could hear Diddy’s son, King Combs, in the room with Kanye, holding it down for his pops. “Stay solid, Dad. We got you,” he said, keeping the energy positive. Diddy, always about that mindset, reminded both Ye and Christian to keep their vibrations high. “Y’all still free. Don’t take that for granted,” he said, making sure they understood the blessing of being outside while he was in a different situation right now.
Before ending the call, Diddy made sure not to bring the mood down. “I ain’t tryna kill the vibe, man. Just keep cooking up,” he told Kanye before hanging up. The whole convo was the two fallen stars trying to pick each other up during a downtime.
Earlier this week, Kanye West and Kim Kardashian were back at it. This time over their daughter North West’s name and brand. As North’s gotten older, she’s been vibing with music whenever she’s with Kanye, and it’s even starting to look like she might take it seriously maybe even turn it into a career. Kim ain’t having it and decided to step in shutting down anything that could potentially put North’s well-being at risk.
Ye, on the other hand, wants to give North the freedom to explore her talents and build her own brand. This has led to some serious tension between the two, with Kanye pushing for more control over North’s career and Kim doing everything she can to protect her from the pressures of fame. It’s clear they’re not seeing eye to eye on how to handle North’s future in the spotlight.

Kanye West is back with more hot takes on social media. He has accused the Kardashian family of restricting his time with his kids.
As spotted on Page Six, Kanye West has taken umbrage with his ex-wife and her very famous family. On Saturday (March 15), he took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to voice his frustrations about the Kardashians. “Yes I have beef with people that froze my account took my kids away and tried to put me in jail AND ITS STUCK,” he wrote.
He doubled down and said he needs more access to his kids to ensure they are being parented correctly. “I DONT WANT TO JUST ‘SEE’ MY KIDS. I NEED TO RAISE THEM. I NEED TO HAVE SAY SO OF [where] THEY GO TO SCHOOL AND WHO THEIR FRIENDS ARE AND [whose] HOUSES THEY SLEEP OVER [whether] MY DAUGHTERS WEAR LIPSTICK AND PERFUME.”
Kanye went on to call out not only Kim and her family but the network that exclusively streams The Kardashians. “ALL THESE RIGHTS HAVE BEEN TAKEN FROM ME BY THE KARDASHIAN MOB HULU AND DISNEY AND THE BIGGER AGENDA TO USE THE SELECTIVELY BRED BLACK CHILDREN TO BE PLATFORMS TO INFLUENCE BLACK PEOPLE,” he added.
He then compared the situation to serving time while not missing his chance to mention the Jewish community. “ITS LIKE IM IN PRISON ‘SEEING’ MY KIDS I DONT CARE IF I LIVE OR DIE OR IF IM IN JAIL OR FREE AND I ESPECIALLY DONT CARE ABOUT WHATEVER THESE P****Y A** CELEBRITIES GOT TO SAY THAT ARE SLAVES TO THE JEWS.”
Kanye West has four kids with Kim Kardashian; North, 11, Saint, 9, Chicago, 7, and Psalm, 5. Kim nor the Kardashian family has yet to comment publicly on the matter.

Ye aka Kanye West shared his willingness to fight ex-wife Kim Kardashian over the trademark for their daughter North West’s name.
On Saturday (March 15), Ye aka Kanye West shared his anger with former wife Kim Kardashian over an issue involving their daughter, North West. He took to social media to detail how Kardashian went ahead to obtain ownershp of any trademarks in a series of posts on X, formerly Twitter, beginning with a post showing a document that stated that the reality star is the “sole and exclusive owner” of trademarks. It further states that Ye’s usage violates the stipulated judgement both agreed upon for joint custody of North West.
“This happened without me being aware How do you guys feel about this,” Ye asked followers in the post’s caption. The following post showed Ye reiterating the document’s content, leading to him sharing a screenshot of a text conversation between him and Kim Kardashian. “I’m never speaking with you again,” Ye wrote in the exchange. Kim replied, “I asked u at the time if I can trademark her name You said yes when she’s 18 it goes to her so stop I sent paper work over so she wouldn’t be in the Diddy song To protect her One person has to trademark! We agreed when they were born I would get all of our kids names and trademarks So no one else would take them.” He went on to add, “Amend it or I’m going to war And neither of us will recover from the public fallout You’re going to have to kill me.”
Another post showed Ye explaining his desire to raise his kids and not just “see” them, claiming his rights to do so were taken by the “Kardashian mob,” as well as Hulu and Disney in what he states is a “bigger agenda to use the selectively bred Black children to be platforms to influence Black people.” In a follow-up, he compared his current situation to being in prison and having “visitation” rights before ending with stating he didn’t care about the opinions of “p***y ass celebrities” that are “slaves to the Jews.” Ye then posted a snippet of an unreleased song, “Lonely Roads Still Go To Sunshine.” The track features Ye and North West, as well as Diddy along with his son, Christian “King” Combs and Jasmine Williams, a rising singer with the Yeezy record label. He’d later delete the snippet from his account.

Kanye West’s X, formerly Twitter, posts have been out of control for the past few weeks now, with the College Dropout artist doing everything from attacking the Jewish community (again) to proudly proclaiming himself a Nazi and a racist, but now, Ye seems to be going a different route as he’s extended an olive branch of sorts to a former rival in the King of the North, Drake.
After years of animosity between the two men, Kanye seems to have grown a soft spot for the embattled Canadian crooner/rapper as of late, and in a recent X post, Ye not only gave Drizzy a little love for his writing skills, but even went so far as to say he wants Drake to speak at his funeral.
In a random X post Kanye wrote, “I SAW A VIDEO OF DRAKE WALKING THROUGH HIS HOUSE AND SHOWING HE HAD A LIBRARY OF RYHME BOOKS MAN I WISH I COULD HAVE SEEN AND REMEMBERED THIS WHEN MY JEALOUSY OVERTOOK ME,” before adding, “I LOVE DRAKE IMA SAY THIS WHEN I DIE I NEED YOU TO SPEAK AT [MY] FUNERAL.”
The post comes after a video of Drake kicking it at an empty club all by himself while gambling began circulating social media. While some said Drizzy is showing how big ballers play out in the field, others felt this was a sign of just how lonely Drake is feeling right now, as Kendrick Lamar did to him what 50 Cent did to Ja Rule in the mid 2000s.
Obviously, these two men are going through some things right now. Given their history of beefing with each other, maybe a reconciliation would help them heal at least a small piece of themselves that they need to in order to move forward. While there’s still hope for Drake to once again be the music darling he once was at the height of his popularity, the same can’t be said for Kanye West who’s proudly stating his allegiance to the Nazi movement at a time where fascism seems to be engulfing America thanks to the Racist-in-Chief and his administration.
We can’t call it, man.
What do y’all think about Kanye West requesting that Drake speak at his funeral? Why is Kanye even thinking about his dying day? Sound off in the comments section below.

Amber Rose is once again calling out her ex Kanye West, claiming that he’s the one behind his current wife Bianca Censori’s revealing outfits.
According to Amber, Kanye has been doing this to all his girlfriends, including her and Kim Kardashian, and it’s all about one thing: control. She says, “He likes it when other men want to f**k his woman. He likes that men are drooling over his woman,” adding that he gets off on the attention his partners get from other men.
Rose says that when she and Kanye started dating in 2008, he turned her into his own Barbie doll. Once she gained fame, he pushed her to dress in ways that were over-sexualized and attention-grabbing. Amber admits she was young and naive back then, so she went along with it, even though it wasn’t really her vibe. But the real kicker? Even after they broke up in 2010, Amber says she couldn’t shake that “sexy” image Kanye helped build for her.
The Philly native said it left her stuck in a box, constantly being seen as just the “hot girl” and never able to break free from that label. These recent comments revealed a pattern of manipulation she feels Ye used to control how his women were viewed—reducing them to their looks and making them objects of desire for other men. This isn’t just about fashion; it’s about power and how Kanye shaped her public persona.

If you’ve been keeping up with the political landscape as of late you’d know that Nazism has seemingly made a comeback and while many are denying that the fascist ideology has any influence on their beliefs, Kanye West has no problem embracing the title and is in fact looking to profit from it.
Weeks after debuting his new line of T-shirts featuring swastikas on his website, yesterday (Feb. 27), Kanye West once again took his infatuation with Hitler’s infamous movement to another level when he took to X to showcase his latest Nazi-inspired brainchild: an diamond encrusted swastika. You read that right, Kanye debuted what he would want an iced-out swastika to look like on his page and asked potentially interested jewelers to submit their own designs writing, “For all jewelers I’m looking for swastika chain designs. Please submit to swastachain@yeezy.com.”

We would say “that man needs Jesus” but Nazi’s were known to be mostly “Christians” so that probably wouldn’t help in this matter.
While many people were outraged that Kanye continues to take his antisemitism views to new extremes, others mostly are chalking this up to “Ye being Ye” at this point as he continues to seemingly spiral down a hole of hate, bigotry, anger, and porn? The man is basically single-handedly out MAGAing the most faithful of MAGA cult members out there, and we just aren’t surprised anymore.
Still, he’ll continue to somehow justify his Nazism and die on that hill. He later tweeted how “NIGGAS RAP ABOUT HOW MANY PEOPLE THEY KILLED BUT THEY SCARED TO WEAR A SWASTIKA T SHIRT CAUSE THEY LABELS AND MANAGERS AND STREAMING SERVICES AND TOURING COMPANIES MOB UP TO STOP N*GGAS MONEY NOBODY BETTER NEVER SAY SH*T TO ME ABOUT MY T SHIRT,” before ended it with, “WHITE PEOPLE WHO ARE AGAINST THE SWASTIKA DON’T WANT TO HAVE A CONVO ABOUT BLACK ABORTION.”
https://x.com/kanyewest/status/1895353780276994411
Nah, we’ll just go ahead and say it, that man needs Jesus. Black Jesus. Just sayin’.
https://x.com/kanyewest/status/1895433905425219991
Lord only knows if Kanye will ever return to being the old Kanye, but from the looks of things, that’s not happening anytime soon and even if he somehow miraculously snapped out of his Nazi state of mind, would his fans and the world ever get past this MAGA version of Kanye West? We may never know.
What do y’all think about Kanye trying to get an diamond encrusted swastika out there? Let us know in the comments section below.

Kanye West recently set the record straight, making it clear that he wasn’t involved in Bhad Bhabie’s diss track aimed at Alabama Barker. The track, which samples Ye’s song ‘Carnival’ got a lot of attention, but Kanye wasn’t having it when it came to being dragged into the drama.
Ye reached out to Alabama Parkers pops, Travis Barker, to let him know that while he gave permission to use the sample, he had no part in the diss or the beef it stirred up. In a direct message to Travis, Ye emphasized that he cleared the sample for the song, but that’s where his involvement ended. He wasn’t co-signing the diss directed at Alabama, making sure Travis knew that he wasn’t backing any of the negativity.
The Chicago rapper’s move shows that, while he’s often part of the conversation when it comes to controversy, he wasn’t looking to add fuel to the fire. The situation showed Kanye’s ability to separate his music from the drama. Even though he’s been known for trolling and stirring the pot at times, he made it clear that this particular situation wasn’t something he wanted to be involved in.
Kanye’s message to Travis reflects his effort to maintain control over his own work while keeping his distance from personal family conflicts. It’s a reminder that, when it comes to his art, Ye isn’t here for any extra mess, unless it’s his own mess.

Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, announced he’s quitting Twitter “for now,” saying the app’s been censoring his freedom of speech. In his tweet, he wrote, “I quit Twitter for now. They just deleted my last tweet. Jordan leaving the NBA.”
The Chicago rapper clearly draws a parallel to Michael Jordan stepping away from basketball for a bit before making a legendary comeback. Ye’s saying his exit could be temporary, just like MJ’s break, and he might be back sooner than later. This announcement comes after Ye’s been pretty vocal about his relationship with Twitter’s owner, Elon Musk. Ye’s shared a bunch of screenshots of their private convos, showing that the two have been having casual chats. Despite their connection, Ye’s frustration with how Twitter handles free speech seems to have hit a tipping point.
The platform’s been under fire for limiting content, and Ye’s decision to step away looks like a protest against those restrictions on what he can say. It’s clear that Ye feels like his voice is being silenced, and he’s not having it. Whether this is a permanent move or just a brief break, only time will tell. But for now, Ye’s out — and he’s making it clear that he’s not here for any platform holding him back.
Kanye West and his wife, Bianca Censori, recently went viral after they crashed the Grammys recently, and they turned heads. Bianca showed up in an outfit so revealing, she was damn near topless. The couple didn’t hold back, and their bold move had the internet buzzing. Ye doesn’t seem to stay away from the limelight for too long.

Kanye West is back to doing the absolute most on social media, and he most recently suggested that Cassie extorted Diddy with her lawsuit.
As per HipHopDX, Ye has returned to X, formerly known as Twitter, and continues to troll the world. On Feb. 20 he shared a post that questioned Cassie’s morale character and intentions for pursuing legal action against her former lover and record label CEO. “Did Cassie extort Puff?” he wrote. As expected, Kanye was greeted with harsh criticism from X users. “Crazy to think this ni**a made ‘My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy’”, wrote one former fan. “The single best album I ever heard in any genre of music……now cuz mind is completely gone.” Another user hypothetically asked him how would he feel if Cassie was one of his family members. “Did [Cassie] get beat up used and abused are you so outta touch if someone did to your mother … may she rest in peace… would you feel same.”
This is not the first time Kanye West has put on a cape for Diddy. Earlier this month, he tried to rationalize Diddy’s sickening 2016 assault on Cassie saying, “When [a] man truly loves a [woman] he may express it in rage. I empathize with both sides,” he wrote on X. Later that day, he announced he would be selling a hooded sweatshirt similar to what Cassie was wearing that same day Diddy put hands on her in a Los Angeles hallway.
Back in November 2023 Cassie, born Casandra Ventura, filed a lawsuit accusing Diddy of assault and more. The lawsuit was settled the following day but Diddy denied the allegations. Later on, footage from the brutal hotel attack leaked online forcing him to apologize for his actions.

Kanye West and his Twitter fingers aren’t done typing. The rapper took to his favorite soapbox at the moment, X, formerly Twitter, to complain about the Grammys not giving him and his wife, Bianca Censori, tickets.
West had all the smoke for the Recording Academy for not blessing him and his naked wife, Bianca Censori, with tickets to music’s biggest night despite him earning a nomination for his song “Carnival” featuring Ty Dolla $ign, but eventually losing to Kendrick Lamar who took home the Grammy for his iconic Drake diss, “Not Like Us.”
“How could the Grammies [sic] nominate me Then not give me tickets And then people mad when I go off,” Ye wrote on X.
“I had to fight for 5 hours and call everyone I knew to get tickets to the Grammies [sic] They eventually gave me tickets but only for the red carpet. At that point I hadn’t started the rampage.”
The Grammys Confirm Not Giving West Tickets
According to a Grammys producer, the rapper (47) and his mannequin (30) were not given tickets to attend the Feb 2 award show held inside the Crytpo.com arena.
“They didn’t have a nomination on the [telecast] and Kanye wasn’t presenting,” Raj Kapoor told People. “He was not performing either, which is mostly what those seats are.”
The “Can’t Tell Me Nothing” crafter didn’t need to make it inside to cause a scene. He used his time on the red carpet to continue parading around his naked wife. Censori dropped her fur coat to reveal she wore a sheer dress with nothing underneath it.
Rumors hit the web that the couple was kicked out of the event due to Censori’s lack of clothing, but that was not the case. A source told Page Six that they left on their own accord.
Kanye West Has Been Dominating The Headlines
West has been dominating the headlines with his antisemitic rants on X, his bizarre Super Bowl ad that led potential shoppers to a Nazi shirt, and rumors of his wife divorcing him.
A rep for the rapper shot down claims of West and Censori splitting.
“Announcements about their private life will come from them directly, not unsourced rumor in the tabloid press,” spokesman Milo Yiannopoulos said.
We honestly wouldn’t mind if West, who claims he is now autistic, would go away and get some damn help.
