But the Miami producer/DJ used to his platform to big up the late, great Nipsey Hussle, with assistance from John Legend and more. It was the season finale, and besides Legend, Khaled brought out a gang of guests. For his first performance, the Instagram Legend performed “Jealous” with Lil Wayne and Big Sean and since it was a medley, Jeremih, Meek Mill, Lil Baby and J Balvin came out for “You Stay.” The second performance include SZA kicking “Just Us” and Meek Mill rocking “Weather The Storm.” And then, Legend was revealed on the keys— performing “Higher” with Legend on the keys and Nip’s image in the back, and on Khaled Khaled’s hoodie. Peep the Nipsey tribute below. The Marathon continues.

The singer and fashion maven settled with the company for an undisclosed amount, bringing the matter to an official close. The Blast reports : According to court documents obtained by The Blast, RiRi and the clothing company Freedom United have privately settled the case. The judge then closed the case officially. Last year, Freedom United sued Rihanna and claimed they have been making clothing with an “FU” logo since 2006 and even have it trademarked. Freedom United said RiRi then launched her PUMA deal and began hawking items with a similar “F.U.” logo on her “Fenty University” clothing. Rihanna is one to bigger and better things in the fashion world after it was recently announced that she’ll have her own line with the Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessy Group. — Photo: WENN
Source: Bruce Glikas / Getty Kanye West right now is a walking cartoon, so this offer might be right up his alley. West, who is a well-known superfan of the Adult Swim animated sitcom Rick & Morty got an offer from the show’s creators to pen and star in his own episode. Creators Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland gushed over the idea of having Yeezy come through and sprinkle some of his “free thinking” on one of the 70 episodes given to them by Cartoon Network which just recently announced the show will return November 2019. When asked about getting MAGA Ye involved with the show by The Blast , the showrunners added: “We fucking love Kanye, man.[He’s] a kindred spirit, genius, visionary. If that guy had the support to do all the ideas he has in his head, it would be fucking Elon Musk 2.0.” Yeah, we don’t know about all of that, but Harmon followed that up by saying that Chicago rapper is “always welcome” with Roiland extending the invite to Ye for him to lend his voice to the show. Harmon who probably knows how much that Kanye likes to be hands-on with anything he is involved took things even farther: “I’m giving him an episode, I’m making it official. We have 70! He can have one. Kanye, you can have an episode.” Roiland added even more flair to the invite by asking Yeezy to hang out with them and joining them in penning an episode. “Come hang out, write a Rick & Morty episode with us. It’ll be the Kanye episode. I’m so down. That would be fucking amazing, actually.” Kanye’s admiration for Rick & Morty is no secret, he Tweeted as much expressing his excitement for sitcoms return for its fourth season and fan art of himself and his wife Kim Kardashian West animated Rick & Morty style. pic.twitter.com/9cTZmASBkT — ye (@kanyewest) October 23, 2018 https://t.co/eUnzwhr72z This is the greatest news This is my favorite show I’ve seen every episode at least 5 times each — ye (@kanyewest) May 10, 2018 It’s a safe bet that this will indeed happen, but it wouldn’t be the first time Kanye guest starred on an animated show. We cannot forget his unofficial casting on South Park back in 2009 which blasted the rapper, by mocking his love for autotune, fish sticks and monster ego. West took to his blog to clap back at the Comedy Central raunchy cartoon for its portrayal of him on the show. This time around, given that he will have creative control, he will be able to paint his own narrative. Photo: Bruce Glikas / Getty
Source: Gotham / Getty We’re not sure what provoked Young Thug ‘s “clout chasing” beef — nevertheless, he would like to end all usage of the phrase moving forward. Going on a rant in his Instagram Stories, the Atlanta rapper insisted all those using the expression are “b*tches.” “Y’all n*ggas who firm believers in that ‘clout chasing’ word, let me tell y’all buster *sses something,” he said. “N*gga stop saying a n*gga clout chasing. That’s some bullying sh*t. You really bullying a n*gga. Some n*ggas don’t even be clout chasing. Some n*ggas be inspired by sh*t they see.” “That word gone,” he added. “‘Cause I damn sure run behind Jay-Z , but I damn sure ain’t no clout chaser n*gga. I’m rich as a motherf*cker.” Do you feel as strongly as Thugger? Watch him speak on it below.

He told MTV back in 2015 that he worries about his every move being criticized . “I get anxiety because somebody always feels like you didn’t give them the proper greeting,” he explained, adding “that stuff has been a hindrance to me, because some people would come back and say ‘Wale was rude.’ Your every move, your every mannerism is being watched. And to think about it, it makes me sweat and my heart beats fast. I’m under a microscope all the time.” See his tweet about social anxiety below, plus one more about him having an album release party in a library so people can’t talk to him. Apparently, he really does have a single coming in four weeks, though, so stay tuned.
