You think innovative cheek piercings, questionable plastic surgery, BFF Amber Rose , ex-boyfriends Tyga and Rob Kardashian , and maybe you even think about her brief reality tv stint. But now, the video vixen and former stripper—who Drake once mentioned in his song “Miss Me”—would like you to think “Hip-Hop” when her name is mentioned. In a new interview with DailyMailTV , she credited Drake for her status as a celebrity and said she’d like his help with launching a rap career. According to the site, Chyna has already been in the studio recording music. “I actually had a booking and I think it was in Tennessee. These guys introduced me to Drake, and Drake you know put me in a song and I started doing all the music videos and the magazines,” Chyna said about the meeting that changed her life. She already knows how she wants to approach the 6 God about a collaboration: “I’d be like Drake, you put me on that first time, maybe we could do a little 2.0. I would love that.” Sounds easy enough, right? As for the music she’s already got done , Chyna revealed: “My music is actually kind of fire. I have a little bit of singing, a little bit of rapping and I have a little love song.” But don’t expect to hear it anytime soon: “We are just testing it out right now. I’m not about to throw myself out there. [I want to] make sure everything is in line.” Can you see yourself copping that new Chyna on all streaming platforms? Let us know. Photo: WENN

Source: SAUL LOEB / Getty At this point, Kanye West feels like a complete train wreck. You don’t want to watch, but you can’t help it. Maybe it’s because he’s an “in your face” kind of guy who will literally show up ANYWHERE just to rant about something. Maybe it’s because despite what comes out his mouth, he continues to be entertaining. Maybe it’s because, for some fans, deep down in our hearts we’re mourning the death of the Kanye we knew, and we’re searching for some glimmer of hope. Whatever the reason may be, many people tuned in to Kanye’s visit with Donald Trump on Thursday. And if you weren’t watching on T.V. or online, a lot of folks tuned into Twitter for the outrageous moments. Ye certainly didn’t disappoint with the inflammatory statements and bizarre behavior. Some highlights were pure WTF moments, while others were just plain devastating to watch. Hit the next pages to find out which moments rank in the list of Kanye-ology.

Source: SAUL LOEB / Getty News outlets looking for any reason to spin Kanye West ‘s meeting with President Donald Trump as something important led to a hilarious moment last night (Oct. 10) on CNN . Former South Carolina state representative Bakari Sellers threw some shots at Token Yeezy’s visit with the Orange Overlord of Chaos, which caused fellow panelist Scott Jennings, who is white, to react with his eyebrows that had host Don Lemon cracking up. Mediate reports : A CNN panelist Tuesday night called Kanye West “the token Negro of the Trump Administration.” The remark was as part of a discussion about the news that West will meet with Donald Trump at the White House on Thursday — a visit which comes after the rapper’s most recent shows of support for the president. CNN’s Don Lemon asked his panel — which featured liberal commentator Bakari Sellers, conservative commentator Tara Setmayer, and conservative commentator Scott Jennings — for their take on whether this lunch will be about policy or celebrity photo-ops. The outlet points at Sellers saying, “Kanye West is what happens when Negroes don’t read,” with Setmayer explaining to Jennings it was a reference to a Chris Rock joke. Setmayer then made a reference to Dave Chappelle’s racial draft skit in regards to West, which Jennings excitedly said he knew of as an apparent fan of the show. Lemon gamely tried to hold his composure although he was less successful than some may have hoped. Sellers has been catching some backlash online too, going toe-to-toe with fellow Trump broom pusher Candace Owens. Oh Candace, bless your heart. Kanye is what happens when negroes don’t read. He actually admittedly chooses not to. We could have a conversation about anti-intellectualism, CJ reform or any topic I covered last night, but your Trump talking points might not be well equipped. https://t.co/SzfU6Bjvji — Bakari Sellers (@Bakari_Sellers) October 10, 2018 Watch the CNN clip below. . @Bakari_Sellers : “My issue with Kanye West is quite simple — is that anti-intellectualism simply isn't cool.” https://t.co/FVeCRODqXl pic.twitter.com/rhH5nWSubZ — CNN Tonight (@CNNTonight) October 10, 2018 — Photo: Getty
F lorida’s GOP party will likely have to lick their wounds after Andrew Gillum has begun fighting back against their attack ads. Gillum had reportedly issued a cease-and-desist letter to TV stations to stop airing messages from Rob DeSantis , his Republican opponent for the state’s governor race, after suspending his campaign amid Hurricane Michael . RELATED: Andrew Gillum Suspending Campaign Activity But For All The Right Reasons Gillum, the mayor of Tallahassee, had turned his attention to the tropical storm, which made landfall on Wednesday. However, he found himself on the receiving end of ads that criticized him for his handling of 2016’s Hurricane Hermine, which caused power outages in Tallahassee. The state’s GOP party had begun running the ads as Michael hit the ground, with DeSantis’ campaign being primarily responsible for the ads, Think Progress reported. Andrew Gillum's campaign for Florida governor has sent a cease-and-desist letter to TV stations airing his opponent's attack ad—all while the dangerous #TropicalStormMichael bore down on the state https://t.co/cWUQvVxngR — The Daily Beast (@thedailybeast) October 11, 2018 It’s unusual for political candidates to continue campaigning during natural disasters, however, it’s not impossible. There have also been ads supporting DeSantis that continued to play on Wednesday, reaching residents within the hurricane’s ground zero. Gillum has called out the decision to air the ads at such a sensitive time and in the middle of a potentially life-threatening storm. “We can’t recall a time where candidates for statewide office have not pulled down negative ads during hurricane season,” the gubernatorial candidate said to MSNBC. “You’ve got a whole region of our state, where folks are fleeing for their lives, anticipating what is a life-threatening event impacting this state. I again would encourage my opponent to just subside with the politics.” Florida’s Republican Party decided to walk back the ads, they said on Wednesday, according to Politico . The decision, however, came after former Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) administrator and Florida Emergency Management Director Craig Fugate asked the state’s candidates to stop running negative ads. Many in the nation have agreed that the focus should be on residents during Hurricane Michael, not on campaign ads.
