Kanye West Will Soon Reveal "The Life Of Pablo" Tour Dates

It looks like Kanye West is already planning a tour in support of "The Life of Pablo." The unveiling of Kanye West's new album, The Life of Pablo -- which coincided with a Yeezy Season 3 fashion show -- at Madison Square Garden has been one of the most talked about hip-hop spectacles in recent memory. I had -- rather stupidly, in retrospect -- thought that, for the album's official debut, Kanye would perform each and every song off The Life of Pablo. Instead, he just hooked his laptop up to an AUX cord and let the album play out. And while it must've been thrilling to be among the first to hear The Life of Pablo in such a grand setting, Kanye is indeed in the process of gearing up a proper live show to go along with his seventh album. A source close to Kanye has alerted Entertainment Weekly that a "Life of Pablo" tour is currently being planned and that dates could be revealed as soon as next month. Kanye has one official performance already scheduled this summer, as he'll headline the Governors Ball Music Festival on June 5 in NYC, so perhaps his new tour will be situated around that time. He also recently announced his plans to drop another album this summer, so it looks like his schedule will be totally swamped, though that's nothing new for Pablo. These tix will likely be gone in minutes. Who's excited to see a live performance of Kanye's new album?

Professional Boxers May Finally Be Able To Fight In Olympics

Can professional boxers put together a "Dream Team?" Boxing has been a staple of the Olympic Games for over a century, but over the past few decades the sport has been relegated to day-time status because of its low profile. While the overall decline of boxing as a spectator sport has been undeniable for some time, the Olympics have further hamstrung themselves by forcing Olympic hopefuls to retain “amateur” status. However, this year the Olympics may seem some more noteworthy competitors. The amateur requirement basically means that anyone who reaches a level where they’re talented enough to be paid to fight is barred from competing in the Olympics. This has allowed younger competitors to wet their feet in the fighting circuit on a big stage before going on to fight the best in the world. However, this has led to an inferior product for the Olympics, and Press Association, International Box Association (AIBA) president Ching-Kuo Wu has vowed to change that. “It is an IOC policy to have the best athletes in the Game, and of the international federations, AIBA is probably the only one without professional athletes in the Olympics,” explained Wu. Having the most talented boxers in the world is obviously a plus, but could lead to some unbalanced fights in the early rounds. However, the US Basketball team had the same policy until the Dream Team in 1992, and we all know what happened there. While an inexperienced fighter getting his bell rung by a world-class boxer like Floyd Mayweather may be scary to some, we’re sure the savages on this site would enjoy the hell out of it. Besides, anything that could drag Mayweather out of retirement for another go at Manny Pacquiao is a plus in our book. We’ll have to see what the AIBA and IOC decide to do first..

Young Thug Responds To Plies Calling Him A "Lower Tier" Artist

The beef between Plies and Young Thug is back on. A couple of days ago, the beef between Young Thug and The Game was reignited. Today, Thug is back to sparring with another rapper he had issues with last year: Plies. Strangely enough, both of Thug's current beefs involve his young daughter. Thug and Game got back into it by posting pictures of each other's daughters on their Instagram pages, and back in September, his beef with Plies started when the Florida rapper (unknowingly) posted a video clip of Thug's daughter using profanity to his Instagram. Yesterday, Plies was the one to incite Young Thug, when he appeared on Complex's web show "Well Rounded" and called Thugger a "lower tier artist." "I don't play with a certain tier of artists, like you trying to get poppin' and shit," said Plies when asked about the comments Thug made about him last month on Sway (that he might "slap the shit" out of him next time he sees him). "I don't fuck with lower tier artists," concluded the "Ritz Carlton" rapper. When asked why Plies considers Thug to be "lower tier," he referenced Thug's first-week sales, presumably those of his latest project, I'm Up: "Um, you sold, what? Shit, 10-14,000 records the first week. I don't know, you tell me what tier it is."

Chance The Rapper Gets Quizzed On Saran Wrap On NPR

Listen to Chance the Rapper's entertaining appearance on popular NPR quiz show "Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!" Last August, days before the release of Free Based Freestyles, Chance the Rapper joined popular NPR quiz show "Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!" for an outdoor taping at Chicago's Millennium Park. Chance was in rare form as he charmed the hosts and audience with his understated wit. When asked how he composes his raps, Chance replied, "That's a great question. I think there's a lot of premeditation, if you will, to making a rap, you know? You got to sit down, focus on your breathing, you know, you want to do a good workout, push-ups, maybe sit-ups, play cards, think about your taxes, think about all the people that you've met, you know, in this life and possibly a past life, if you believe in that. And then, you know, you take off your socks and shoes, put a pencil between your toes and you start writing. And you've got a masterpiece."

The First Photo Of Saint West Arrives Online

See the first-ever photo of the world's most famous baby. Just now, Kanye West's long-anticipated "All Day" music video made its way online. Today is also occasion for an even bigger online premiere from the West family, as Kim has shared the first photo of her and Kanye's second child, and first son: the three-month-old Saint West. Kim shared the photo of Saint, who is pictured asleep in a cozy Yeezy Season 3 baby shirt, through her app and website. She decided to post the picture in honor of her late father Robert Kardashian, who would've celebrated his 72nd birthday today. "I know there's nothing more in the world he would have wanted than to meet his grandchildren," Kim wrote to her fans. "So I wanted to share this pic of Saint with you all."

Nyck Caution Is Dropping A Project This Week

The Pro Era emcee shared the title and cover art. We knew Nyck Caution was going to have an enormous 2016 on January 15, when he dropped three fire tracks to celebrate his 22nd birthday. The 22 EP, as it is called, served as a prelude to Caution's first project since 2011's The Pursuit, Vol. 1. Sunday afternoon, he shared the project's title and cover art on Instagram. The project is called Disguise the Limit, and according to both Nyck Caution and his Pro Era bro Kirk Knight, it will drop sometime "FEBRUARY" -- aka, in the next week! Caution has already dropped one single (presumably) from the project, "Wordsmith." Check out the Disguise the Limit cover art below as well as HNHH's exclusive new interview with Caution and Joey Bada$$.

Kanye West Breaks Up A Paparazzi Fight With A Hug

Kanye West breaks up a fight between two photographers with a hug. Kanye West was back at it with the paparazzi on Friday, but it’s not for what you might think. Known in the past for his short temper, and fist throwing anger with the camera crews, Kanye did the quite opposite yesterday when he broke up a fight between two photographers while arriving back at LAX. Caught by TMZ, Kanye was being bombarded by the paparazzi, when two photographers ended turning on each other and starting throwing some blows. But rather than walking faster in the opposite direction, Kanye stepped in and broke the two guys up by giving one of them a hug in effort to calm everyone down. In a good mood, Kanye later answered some questions from the paps as well. When asked if he’ll have a third child, Ye replied “perhaps” with a smile on his face. Then he was asked about Mark Zuckerberg, before commotion set in and it's a little tough to hear.

Kanye West Considering Legal Action Against The Pirate Bay

Upset with the level of illegal downloads, Kanye West's camp considers legal action. Kanye West’s buzzing new album The Life of Pablo is only available on the streaming service Tidal, which has driven many people to illegally download the album rather than sign up for the subscription-only streaming service. As a result, the album has gone Gold in illegal downloads solely from popular torrent site the Pirate Bay. It netted more than 500,000 downloads in less than a week, which is potentially an internet record. Despite previously being flippant towards people to illegally listen to his music, Kanye West is reportedly not pleased with the current situation. He’s considering a lawsuit against the Pirate Bay, and that’s understandable given how much money in streams and album sales 500,000 downloads would equate to. TorrentFreak reached out to the Pirate Bay for comment. Their response was not exactly fearful. “Kanye West is a blithering twat who has an incredible sense of self importance,” Pirate Bay staff member Spud17 wrote, before adding, “Our legal team will be waiting.” The Pirate Bay are no strangers to legal action, as their site been kicked out of numerous countries for it’s illegal activity. Next to governments, a Yeezy lawsuit isn’t much to sniff at. While it sucks that Kanye has lost out on so much money, he’s partially to blame for the situation after altering his album distribution plans right as the album released. He refused to add the album to any Apple music services, leaving few ways for people to obtain the record.

50 Cent Called Back To Bankruptcy Court Because Of Instagram Posts

You live by the memes, you die by the memes. 50 Cent, who infamously declared bankruptcy in a potential bid to avoid paying damages to Rick Ross’ baby mother for a stolen sex tape (among other debts), may be in additional legal trouble. Bringing all the recent stories about 50 Cent’s Instagram memes full circle, a judge is bringing him back to court because of a few Instagram posts he made over the last few months. Judge Ann Nevins expressed concern that 50 Cent was not being fully transparent about his funds, and pointed to Instagram posts by the Queens rapper showing stacks upon stacks of cash. “There’s a purpose of having a bankruptcy process be transparent, and part of that purpose is to inspire confidence in the process.” Basically, Fifty might be taking advantage of what can be a very difficult process for people who are actually broke and in debt. Naturally, the person who brought these photos to the attention of the judge is Lastonia Leviston, the winner of $7 million in damages from 50 Cent for a stolen sex tape. Curtis Jackson’s bankruptcy filing has prevented her from seeing any of that money thus far. 50 Cent’s lawyers have defended their client’s posts by arguing they are all a part of his profession in the entertainment industry, and the stacks of money are only for image-related purposes. We’ll have to wait until 50 Cent’s new hearing to find out how this all shakes out. The date for that bankruptcy hearing hasn’t been set.

Tyga Reportedly Being Evicted By Another Landlord

According to reports, Tyga may be evicted from another house in L.A. It looks like Tyga isn’t a big fan of paying for a roof over his head. Last year, it was reported that the former YMCMB rapper was kicked out of his Calabasas home for unpaid rent, which he says is completely false, but now more reports are saying the same thing about his other home in the Hollywood Hills. According to documents obtained by Page Six, Tyga’s current landlord has filed papers listing Michael Ray Stevenson, Tyga’s government name, as the defendant who he’s trying to evict. Apparently Tyga hasn’t paid rent for the three months while living at the $4.8 million Hollywood Hills home, which is $17,000 per month equaling a grand total of $51,000 he owes his landlord. Tyga has yet to make any sort of comment about this latest eviction story, but we can bet it’s coming.

Rihanna Postpones “Anti” World Tour

Fans will have to wait a couple more weeks to see Rihanna live on her "Anti" tour. Fresh off her canceled performance at The Grammy’s this past Monday, Rihanna unfortunately has some more bad news for her fans today. According to the Los Angeles Times, Ri Ri has postponed the start of her Anti world tour until next month. Originally scheduled to kick off February 26 at San Diego’s Viejas Arena, the tour will now begin March 12 in Jacksonville, Florida instead. The first eight shows, which include San Jose, Phoenix, Houston, Dallas, Austin, New Orleans and Atlanta, have all been moved from February and March to May now. The reason for the delay is “production delays” Rihanna’s camp cited. Look Travis Scott to open up for Rihanna throughout the North American leg, while The Weeknd & Big Sean are set to take over those duties in Europe. Below is the new tour dates. May 1: Phoenix, Ariz. - Talking Stick Resort Arena May 6: San Jose, Calif. - SAP Center May 9: San Diego, Calif. - Viejas Arena May 13: Dallas, Texas - American Airlines Center May 14: Austin, Texas - Frank Erwin Center May 15: Houston, Texas - Toyota Center May 17: New Orleans, La. - Smoothie King Center May 18: Atlanta, Ga. - Philips Arena

French Montana's "Wave Gods" Mixtape Has Some Huge Features

Future, Kanye West, and Nas are among the many guests on French Montana's upcoming project. French Montana will be premiering his new Wave Gods mixtape on DJ Khaled's Beats 1 Radio show tomorrow, but before then, he's come through with the official tracklist for the project, and it features some HUGE guest appearances. Among those listed on the tracklist are Future, Kanye West, Nas, Travis SCott, Big Seam Puff Daddy, Jadakiss, and the late Chinx. It's safe to say we're more excited than ever now that we've got a look at what we can expect from the project, which will be hosted by Max B (we assume through a jail phone as he did on Kanye's Life Of Pablo). Check the tracklist below. The tape premieres at 8PM EST tomorrow night. 1. "Wave Gods (Intro)" 2. "Miley Cyrus" f/ Future 3. "Sanctuary" 4. "Figure It Out" f/ Kanye West and Nas 5.

The Miami Police Union Is Boycotting Beyoncé's Upcoming Concert

Beyoncé's "Formation" video and Super Bowl performance has caused opposition to her concert in Miami. While the rest of the world gets pumped for Beyoncé's upcoming world tour, the Miami Police Union is making an effort to ruin everyone's fun, at least in their city. According to HuffPo, the Fraternal order of police have voted to boycott Bey's April performance at Marlins stadium, with Javier Ortiz, president of Miami Fraternal Order of Police penning a press release on the matter, citing the singer's "Formation" video and Super Bowl performance as disrespectful to the police. The Miami Fraternal Order of Police has voted to have all law enforcement officers boycott Beyoncé’s concert which is being held at the Miami Marlins Stadium on Wednesday, April 26, 2016... The fact that Beyoncé used this year’s Super Bowl to divide Americans by promoting the Black Panthers and her antipolice message shows how she does not support law enforcement. It's worth noting that Ortiz does not actually represent the Miami police force as a whole. Major Delrish Moss who does speak for the force, confirmed that the event would be protected.

Wale Has Spent An Insane Amount Of Money On Uber

$1.1 Million in 2014 alone. We've seen some scary Uber bills before, but Wale may have just taken the cake. According to the DC rapper's tweets, he spent $1.1 million dollars on the service back in 2014. You may be wondering how that's possible, and his explanation doesn't explain all that much, indicating that a couple of trips to French Montana's place where he left the meter running contributed to the cost (did he go from DC to New York?). Either way, the takeaway from the whole experience is that "Uber lowkey the devil". It seems the rapper is now ready to weigh his options with Lyft though.

The Game & Lloyd Banks Reunite In Dubai

It looks like The Game & Lloyd Banks are on talking terms. It’s been years since The Game has been amicable with his former crew, but it appears it’s not everyone from G-Unit crew that he's had a problem with. While out in Dubai this week, the Los Angeles Confidential ran by his former G-Unit homie Lloyd Banks and ended up taking a picture with him, which he just posted on Instagram. The caption simpy read “Still,” which should make any rap fan from the 00’s very happy to see.

Diddy & LL Cool J Uncover Their Ancestry On "Finding Your Roots"

Puff Daddy & LL appear on "Finding Your Roots," a PBS documentary by Henry Louis Gates, Jr. Diddy and LL Cool J appear on the new episode of "Finding Your Roots," a PBS documentary by the scholar Henry Louis Gates, Jr., to learn more about their ancestry. Diddy's fourth great-grandparents, who lived in Maryland, were free, unlike the majority of blacks in the early 19th century. “It makes me feel kind of conflicted that my family was free and there was so many other families that weren’t…I can’t imagine what it must have felt like for him being locked up and to be innocent,” he said. LL Cool J met with relatives to watch video of his great-uncle boxing. On a past episode of "Finding Your Roots," Nas learned that his great-great-great-grandmother Pocahontas was sold for $830. If you're into this sort of history, definitely check out "Finding Your Roots, which airs on PBS on Tuesdays at 8/7c.

Kanye West Reacts To Kylie Jenner Signing With PUMA

Kanye West reacts to Kylie Jenner's unexpected partnership with PUMA. Kanye West has made no effort to cover up his hatred toward Nike, the company he left in favor of adidas, but many were surprised when we called out another major clothing brand, PUMA, for trying to "divide the family" with its efforts to court a deal with Kylie Jenner. He went as far as to say, "1000% there will never be a Kylie Puma anything. That's on my family! 1000% Kylie is on Yeezy team!!!" Well, it now seems as though Yeezy was misguided in his calculations, as PUMA has officially confirmed its partnership with the youngest Jenner sister. "I am pleased and excited to be able to confirm that PUMA is indeed working with Kylie Jenner," said Adam Petrick, PUMA's Global Director of Brand and Marketing, in an official statement, reports Complex. "Kylie will be featured in the brand's Spring/Summer women's training campaign launching in April 2016," continued Petrick. "Kylie represents a fresh and exciting new era for fashion, and we couldn't think of a more fitting and influential female to headline this campaign for PUMA." Earlier today, a TMZ reporter caught up with Kanye at LAX, and by then, he was already aware of his ill-fated PUMA tweets. When asked if Kylie had gone behind his back to sneak a deal with PUMA, a rival of adidas, Kanye replied, "She had already signed, and I was mad for a bit." Thus, it seems the deal was already in place when Kanye had sent out the tweets claiming Kylie for team Yeezy, and it's probably wasn't a pretty sight when Kanye found out about the deal. He's now over it, however, as he went on to tell the reporter, "I'm really happy for her though."

50 Cent Feels His Creditors Are Trying To Make Him An "Indentured Servant"

50 Cent invokes the 13th amendment in a fight against the creditors to whom he owes $30 million. As you all probably know, 50 Cent owes a lot of money to a few select creditors, including Sleek Audio, SunTrust Bank, and Lastonia Leviston, Rick Ross' baby mother, to whom 50 owes $7 million for uploading a stolen copy of a sex tape of hers to YouTube in 2008. In total, 50 owes an estimated $30 million; of that sum, over $18 million is owed to Sleek Audio. Apparently all three of the aforementioned creditors have now teamed up and come up with a payment plan to which they hope to get the G-Unit boss to submit, reports TMZ. As the creditors are currently waiting for the the judge to approve their plan, 50 has preemptively declared that if said plan were to be initiated, it would be a violation of the 13th amendment -- the one that effectively abolished slavery. The plan "would create a near-indefinite period of involuntary service and indentured service," said 50, reported via TMZ. He argued that the seemingly endless payment plan would give his creditors full control over his "access to food and shelter." The 13th amendment makes illegal slavery and involuntary servitude, except, in the case of the latter, as punishment for a crime. I'm not sure how literally the amendment is interpreted these days, though 50 is guilty of at least one crime -- that being the illegal uploading of Levinson's sex tape, right? Whatever happens, we hope 50 isn't actually facing prospects of involuntary servitude and that his massive debt isn't endangering his access to food and shelter.

Kim Kardashian Reportedly "Can't Stand" Kanye West’s Recent Twitter Rants

According to reports, Kim K isn't happy about Kanye's recent twitter antics. Kanye West has been on one lately when it comes to his twitter fingers. From reigniting beef with Wiz & Taylor Swift to talking about his personal debt and claiming Bill Cosby is innocent, many people have been outraged by his off-the-wall twitter antics over the past couple weeks. And according to reports, wifey, Kim Kardashian happens to be just one of those people who aren’t fond of his recent behavior. In fact, People Magazine is reporting that Kim can’t stand it so much that it’s actually hurting their marriage. A close source from People Mag says that Kim is very level-headed when it comes to Kanye’s behavior, but “can’t stand” the recent twitter drama. “What causes friction in the marriage, however, is Kanye’s compulsive tweeting. Kim can’t stand it. She is all for self-promotion, but doesn’t approve of Twitter drama,” the source quotes. Apparently the biggest issue for Kim was Kanye’s Twitter antics against his ex-girlfriend Amber Rose. “She was very mad about Kanye’s Amber Rose drama,” the source told People. While Kim may not necessarily be happy about the recent tweets, I really don't see this being any sort of marriage breaker

The Game Reignites Beef With Young Thug: “I Will Beat The Victoria Secret Out That Boy/Girl”

The Game took another shot at Young Thug this week. The on-going beef between Young Thug & The Game continues this week. On Monday, the Los Angeles Confidential decided to take a shot at Thugger Thugger in the comments section of his own Instagram. Starting off with an original picture of The Game looking like Ted with ladies all over him, things quickly turned south after someone commented “you gonna need a Ted when Thugger Thugger catch yo ass!” Obviously catching his attention, The Game didn’t take the comment too lightly and replied "You must be joking... I will beat the Victoria secret out that boy/girl." Thugger has yet to comment, but it’s surely only a matter of time. These two have gone back & forth several times on social media over the past year or so, so this is nothing new. We’ll keep you posted if anymore surfaces.

Taylor Swift Fires Back At Kanye West During Her Acceptance Speech At The Grammy's

Taylor Swift took a little jab at Kanye West during her acceptance speech for "Album Of The Year." Well it looks like Taylor Swift definitely heard the lyrics on Kanye West’s new song “Famous,” where Ye spits “I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex/ Why? I made that bitch famous,” and she’s not happy about it either. During her acceptance speech at Monday night's Grammy's for “Album Of The Year” with 1989, Taylor decided to “speak to the women” but direct her words towards Kanye. Taylor says in her speech, “As the first woman to win album of the year twice, I want to say to all the young women out there, there are going to be people along the way who will try to undercut your success or take credit for your accomplishments or you fame, But if you just focus on the work, and you don’t let those people sidetrack you, someday when you get where you are going, you will look around and you will know that it was you and the people who love you that put you there and that will be the greatest feeling in the world.” This clearly reignites the on-going beef between Kanye & Taylor, which we thought was over with after Kanye stated they talked on the phone for over an hour and said she even gave him her blessings to use the line. Well apparently she never did, and now the beef is back on.

Jay Rock Severely Injured In "Bad" Motocycle Accident

Jay Rock was reportedly involved in a bad motorcycle accident on Monday. While Kendrick Lamar was busy tearing the stage down at the 58th annual Grammy’s Monday night, his fellow TDE counterpart, Jay Rock, was unfortunately involved in a “bad accident” on his motorcycle. Taking to twitter Monday night, TDE president Top Dawg tweeted out, "Pray 4 @jayrock he had a bad accident on his motorcycle.. He's hurt pretty bad...” While no other information has been released at the moment, we’ll definitely keep you posted as more on this surfaces. Prayers up for Jay Rock.

Martin Shkreli Says Fake Friend Of Kanye Robbed Him Of $15 Million

Shkreli claims to have been robbed by a Bitcoin thief named Daquan. Martin Shkreli is keeping his name in the headlines on the daily. We thought he might recede into the shadows upon the TIDAL release of The Life of Pablo -- proof that Kanye West had either rejected or neglected his $15 million offer for exclusive ownership of the album...but no. Those who despise the pharmaceutical price-gouger might find this latest development to be entertaining, however, as Shkreli is now claiming that he did, in fact, put forth $15 million for The Life of Pablo -- only to be duped by a Bitcoin thief by the name of Daquan. "WHO THE FUCK HAS MY MILLION DOLLARS," Shkreli suddenly tweeted earlier today, before going into a story about how Daquan, who he had thought was an associate of Kanye's, robbed him of $15 million digital dollars. Shkreli is apparently launching a GoFundMe page tomorrow in an effort to regenerate his squandered millions, and he purports to have gotten in touch with the creator of Bitcoin, whom Shkreli hopes will help him in tracking down Daquan

Watch Drake & Reggie Miller's Ping Pong Battle

Drake's ping pong battle with Reggie Miller lives up to its expectations. Drake is currently seated courtside at the Air Canada Centre, in his hometown of Toronto, for the 2016 NBA All-Star Game. The game is the final event of All-Star weekend, but perhaps the marquee matchup already occurred earlier this afternoon, when Drake faced off against Reggie Miller in a game of "6-pong." Miller, a commentator of tonight's All-Star Game for TNT, challenged Drake to a game of ping pong at the beginning of the month, and Drake, who's been forthcoming about his skills with the paddle via social media, swiftly accepted. TNT ended up filming the matchup, and highlights were broadcast before tonight's game.
