Source: Johnny Nunez / Getty Azealia Banks weighed in on this weekend’s Twitter war between Kim Kardashian and Rhymefest , and Banks says she has personal accounts to add to the picture. Banks was triggered by Kim’s mean girls drag of Rhymefest Saturday afternoon, which shamed the DONDA Foundation co-founder for wearing fake Yeezys to a recording session with Kanye West . But it’s dedicated to Kanye’s mom… i would assume kanye would be the one sustaining the foundation + not everyone can afford to pay loads of $ sneakers. I was at that session and kanye had a private Chef cooking food for only him. Kanye had niggas in the studio hungry and broke https://t.co/LiAdkE7VPW — CHEAPY XO (@cheapyxo) May 27, 2018 In response to Kim’s tweets about Fest and the struggles to finance DONDA’s House, Banks typed: “But it’s dedicated to Kanye’s mom… i would assume kanye would be the one sustaining the foundation + not everyone can afford to pay loads of $ sneakers. I was at that session and kanye had a private Chef cooking food for only him.

Niggas kept looking at him hoping he would offer and it was the most awkward shit ever — CHEAPY XO (@cheapyxo) May 27, 2018 Banks added: “Literally the most obnoxious thing to watch kanye eat a plate of cantaloupe wrapped in prosciutto off Versace plates and 24k cutlery while not offering anyone in the room a single snack.

She typed: “And trust I seen the types of niggas Kanye has in the studio they are all regular dude plus why kanye ain’t give Rhymefest some yeezy’s? Why did Rhymefest have to procure his own yeezys lol.” And trust I seen the types of niggas Kanye has in the studio they are all regular dude plus why kanye ain’t give Rhymefest some yeezy’s?

That’s just kicking a nigga while he’s down. Making it public that his charity needs money.

Source: Jeyhoun Allebaugh / Getty Despite a tough Game 7 loss to LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavs, Jayson Tatum ’s future is looking as bright as ever. The Duke product and third overall pick in the 2017 draft made a solid case for Rookie of the Year during the regular season, but it was on the global stage of the playoffs that he set himself apart from all of his peers. ”He’s built for stardom, he’s built for success,” said James after Game 7. LeBron came with the praise for Jayson Tatum. pic.twitter.com/sI19UYYRSV — SportsCenter (@SportsCenter) May 28, 2018 LeBron, who’s now on his way to his eighth straight NBA Finals appearance, definitely knows what he’s talking about. And even if the King wanted to stunt on the rookie, this crunchtime facial was a reminder that Tatum will be in the running for James’ throne sooner than later.

The entertainer took on Childish Gambino’s “This Is America” and opened our eyes to things going on in the Mother Land. Check it out. It was so good that even Diddy gave his cosign. There are a few other “This Is America” attempts as well, most of which have been parodies. Hit the flip to see who else has tried to take on this song (and mostly failed).
