Via | HipHopDX CHICAGO, IL – After appearing to bury the hatchet with Kanye following a long series of public criticisms of his subversive takes on everything — more or less — Uncle Snoop Dogg took to Instagram on October 14 to clown ‘Ye over a (late to the party) interpretation of Drake’s “In My Feelings.” “I just found out who Kiki was, [she] is your bitch. That’s why you’re so mad,” Snoop taunted, having seemingly just stumbled on the popular fan theory that Drake was referencing Kim Kardashian on the song. Kanye condemned Drake during an Insta-rant last month over the Toronto rapper’s refusal to debunk the rumor. READ MORE

The Associated Press reports that Yeezy linked up with President Yoweri Museveni on Monday (Oct. 15) and that they had a “fruitful discussions” about “promoting tourism and arts.” West gifted Museveni a pair of white adidas Yeezy sneakers. Reportedly, West and his wife, Kim Kardashian, have set up shop in a national park while he is recording music in a tent. Interestingly, the AP reports that some residents aren’t too thrilled about Yeezy’s presence while others have pointed out that Uganda’s President banned motorcycle riders from wearing hoodies to prevent crime. West wore a hoodie during his visit. I welcome American entertainment stars Kanye West and @KimKardashian to Uganda. I held fruitful discussions with the duo on how to promote Uganda's tourism and the arts. I thank Kanye for the gift of white sneakers. Enjoy your time in Uganda.

No worries in that regard, they squashed their beef shortly after. Reports TMZ: Sources close to the rapper and Emily B tell TMZ … as heated as the argument was back on March 28, Fab and Emily’s dad connected the very next day. We’re told they discussed how things got out of hand, and said they would bury the hatchet. They’ve been hanging out together like family … just like they used to before they went toe-to-toe. What makes this awkward now is the fact Fabolous was just indicted for allegedly assaulting Emily, and for threatening to shoot her dad during that frightening driveway exchange. Word is Emily B’s father is willing to testify on Fab’s behalf if and when the case goes to trial . Let us know what you think in the comments. — Photo: WENN.com
Source: SAUL LOEB / Getty That didn’t take long. After a short hiatus, Kanye West is back on Twitter, talking about “mind control.” Yeezy has taken his coon tour to Uganda , and yesterday (Oct. 13) he posted while in the African nation. In the 9-minutes clip West talked about being controlled by social media and the need to get more like. He also said he took an IQ test and that they were MENSA level. One, we need to see those IQ test results for ourselves, for fact checking purposes of course. Two, the irony that he’s complaining about social media, on social media. Three, Ye said he brought a house that he can never finish. Four, he says he tried to buy his publishing from Sony/ATV, but he couldn’t despite having the money. Five, someone please breakthrough Mr. West’s stubbornness (about taking his meds, reading, etc.) and tell him to chill, for his own sake. Also, here’s a choice quote: “I’m not worried about any type of blog or social media, y’all already saw was a lie. Social media told you that Hillary was going to win, but she didn’t win. Social media told you that people didn’t like me, but everybody loves me. Everybody loves Ye!” Umm, who’s going to tell him? Peep Yeezy’s lengthy diatribe on “unprogramming your minds” and “positive energy” below. More on the flip. Mind control https://t.co/YDYXQ45bDL — ye (@kanyewest) October 13, 2018 — Photo: Getty
Source: Taylor Hill / Getty It’s not a secret that regardless of how the Braxton sisters feel about one another, they won’t let an outsider come for one of their own–or let you put their name in your mouth. Case in point: Towanda Braxton had words for her sister’s ex-coworker Loni Love for her recent sit-down for the “Breakfast Club,” where she seemed to have spilled some pipping hot tea about Tamar. According to Loni, after Tamar was fired from “The Real,” she claims that she ran into Towanda on a plane, where she gave the talk show host a warning. “I get on a plane to go to Atlanta [and] guess who’s in front of me, in first class: Towanda. She told me they did an emergency episode of Braxton Family Values , and, ‘You need to see the episode.’” She continued, “I had a person that worked at WEtv. The person that worked at WEtv contacted me [and said], ‘You are being named, the girls are being named,’ and I called my attorney and I said, ‘You gotta call WEtv and let them know if they’re naming us, we’re gonna have to have legal action. That’s defamation of character.” Now, Towanda wasn’t here for any of that and took to social media to clear their name. “What I’m not willing to do is allow ANYONE to create dissension. I absolutely was on that flight with @comiclonilove And how many years ago was this conversation? I’m amused at how the statements were paraphrased. It was NEVER a heads up…. AND as soon as I saw Loni on the flight, I IMMEDIATELY contacted Tamar to let her know. The interview circulating that I’m included in is bullsh*t,” she wrote on Instagram. Towanda added, “Why feel compelled to keep mentioning Tamar when it pertains to that talk show? I guess they are her biggest fans? Y’all should ask Tamar to come back since she’s the hot topic.” Well, Loni has yet to respond to these allegations…yet. BEAUTIES: Who do you believe? Loni or Towanda?

CBS reports, the white St. Louis woman who was filmed trying to prevent a black man from entering the luxury apartment building he lives in, has been fired from her job. D’Arreion Toles said he was returning home from work when the unidentified tenant physically blocked him from entering the downtown building. Toles recorded the incident on his cellphone and posted the video to Facebook . The video has more than 4 million views and has been shared over 113,000 times. The video shows the woman demanding proof that Toles lives in the apartment building. She can be seen standing in front of the entrance, refusing to let him in. Toles eventually pushes past the woman, who begins to ask who he’s visiting and follows him to his apartment door. When she realized Toles was in fact a resident, she begins to claim that she wants to introduce herself as a neighbor. Toles said police arrived at his apartment about 30 minutes after he entered his apartment, but they left without giving anyone a citation.

Source: Paras Griffin / Getty Ursher is back! The singer recently released his ninth studio album “A” — and although fans are conflicted about the production of the album, they’re just happy to have their guy back. The ATLien’s last body of work, Hard II Love didn’t connect with his core fans as much. The same year that album dropped,he was f aced with the whole herpes scandal , which forced him to take a break from music. On top of that, he was going through a another divorce, which means his head was totally not in the music game. But luckily for Usher, he has die hard fans who’ll stand by his side regardless of what he does. One fan tweeted , “All jokes aside, Usher’s album slaps. He’s adjusting to the current era: surprise album, 8 songs, trap melodies. While still giving us the essence of the artist we know & love. I ain’t mad at cha!” Regardless of how some folks feel, Usher will always be a legend with classic hit songs that people love to try and sing too. From folks born in the 90’s to us 90’s babies, Urshers music spans generations. Youtube star Willie Spence is a prime result of the Ursher effect. He;s been doing covers for years, but some of his best Instagram moments come from singing classic Usher hits. Spence has the voice of a god, and his rendition of Usher’s “Lovers & Friends” may give you chills. Need some morning motivation? Hit the flip for more — Willie has your back. via GIPHY
