Kanye West: The Most Intelligent Celebrity

[goofygirl]

Kim just likes to look at herself in the mirror.  She fascinates herself.

Bradley Cooper to Kanye?

I just heard the news and am astonished.  Now, I know nothing about Irina other than she is a supermodel and Bradley's baby mama, so I guess I shouldn't really be surprised, but I'm not seeing the appeal w/Kanye.  Early Kanye?  Yes, but not current Kanye.  If he would stick to taking his medication(s) it would be one thing, but he doesn't think he needs them and I could not handle being around someone so erratic.

Kim is a piece of work, but I do understand her concern about her and the kids being around Kanye when he is demonstrating bizarre and unstable behavior.  He has demonstrated it publicly and I can only imagine how frightening it would be.  To volunteer that life for you and your child boggles the mind.

Let's see how long she can actually put up with him. I suspect once he has one of his erratic mental episodes she'll be outta there. Kim dealt with more bullshit than anyone should deal with and even with her I always felt the biggest reason she held on was for the kids. I thought for sure she would have left him after he when he said he initially wanted to abort North.

She knew about him before she had the kids after North. She should have stopped with North.

ETA - Kim was still married to someone else when she got pregnant with North, so I don’t blame Kanye for his initial reaction. Nothing wrong with considering abortion .

No, nothing wrong with considering it, but maybe you shouldn't announce to the world that you wanted to get rid of the kid if you go ahead & have it.

Exactly. And the way he did it. Imagine if North came across a clip of her father in hysterics screaming " I nearly killed my daughter". That was AWFUL.

Walmart does it again this time with Yeezy Shoes

Quote

Kanye West is going after Walmart for allegedly selling a knockoff version of his well-known foam shoe design ... at a fraction of the price.

According to new legal docs -- obtained by TMZ -- Kanye and his company, Yeezy, claim the retail giant copied his famous Yeezy Foam Runner and left customers confused about whether they were buying the real thing or an imitation.

Kanye claims Walmart could be costing Yeezy hundreds of millions of dollars in sales by doing so.

According to the docs ... Yeezy introduced its Foam Runner in 2019 and the footwear made its public debut in June 2020, selling out instantly at $75 a pop.

Yeezy claims Walmart then made an "unauthorized exact copy" and has been selling it -- at just under $25 a pair -- in order to cash in on the popularity of Kanye and the Foam Runner.

Kanye's side claims it sent a legal warning to Walmart and told them to pull the shoes from its site ... but it has failed to do so.

So, Kanye and Yeezy are suing for major damages. We reached out to Walmart ... no word back so far.

 

Quote

A company spokesperson tells us, "The product referenced in the complaint is not sold by Walmart, but rather by third party Marketplace sellers. We take allegations like this seriously and are reviewing the claim. We will respond in court as appropriate after we have been served with the complaint."

This is Walmart's like millionth time from stealing from Black designers and they are super quick to say the above statement, It's not us its someone else...

I don't think the question is did Walmart rip off the shoe design, I think the question is, who in their right mind would buy shoes that look like this, no matter who made them?

The same ones who bought the Thigh master years ago and any other celebrity "made" product. It's not just American people buying Kanye's stuff, international folks are too. Asia has MONEY MONEY to spend and their fashion has always been a bit different.

I personally have not seen those Yeezy's out in public in my area, have seen a few of his sneakers. Yes they are awful and not my taste but to each his own

He's been wearing those full head coverings everywhere, he's been papped a lot wearing them lately. A lot more than is normal for Kanye, which leads me to wonder, is that really him? Or is it somebody hired to walk around pretending to be him. He didn't even say anything at the listening party, so nobody could say it didn't sound like him. Definitely makes me wonder.

[howmanywords]

Fwiw Daily mail has video of him with Kim and the kids backstage. God I hope they dont get back together. They went away for a family vacation last week and now the matching outfits? Ick. Kim can barely move her face normally but she looks giddy back there.

We're told Ye is STILL IN THE BUIDLING ... and Kanye and team have created a studio space, living quarters and even have a chef to prepare his meals inside MBS.

I wonder if he's still wearing his hood? This is definitely not my area of expertise, but don't you have listening parties when you're done with an album, not while it's still in progress?

I can see them getting back together. Kim's been releasing thirst trap pictures since the divorce and there don't seem to be any takers. At 40 with 4 kids and plastic surgery that's rapidly heading south, she's limited in terms of the men she likes to date.

While I don't see Kim and Kanye formally getting back together, I do think they will continue to wring every possible drop of social media attention they can get from their relationship, such as it is. That's the modus operandi for both of them, individually and as a couple. Exhibit A: Kim and the kids' widely photographed presence at Kanye's "listening party" kicked Kourtney and Travis B. off the lead story on the Daily Fail, at least for one day. And that's what it's always been about with this competitive family. Nothing else is real or important to them -- just media attention.

Donda not a failure

He might have charged $40 for a hot dog at the listening party and be living in the arena to finish the Donda Album, but folks still eat up everything Kanye West.

Quote

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Ye's album event this past week at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta broke the Apple Music Global Livestream record ... with 3.3 million viewers who tuned in on their screens.

BTW, the 'DONDA' moment was a one-time deal -- meaning it aired live for people to stream, but hasn't gone back up on Apple for folks to watch again. So, that figure -- 3.3M unique sets of eyeballs -- is a one and done. It'd be a little harder to calculate if the thing was in circulation.

Our sources tell us once Kanye releases Donda -- it's projected to drop August 6 -- the Atlanta performance will be posted to Apple for fans to watch again.

She kind of looks like a female member of Daft Punk (whose song Kanye remixed for "Stronger").

It's not her worst look but I am confused by the embellishment (button?) on her crotch.

A friend of mine went to an Atlanta United game on Saturday at MBS and Kanye walked into the stands. He walked pretty close to where she was sitting. He was wearing the same outfit that he had on during the listening party as well as the pantyhose on his head. I'm also wondering if that's him lol

Kanye posted on Instagram a pic of his room inside the stadium 😄

[nkotb]

^ Are you sure that’s his room inside the “stadium”? Or, is it actually his room inside the Kardashian West “compound/mausoleum”?
There’s actually more decor & personality in the stadium pic than their former actual bedroom, I would presume.

Kanye West Bringing 'Donda' Party Back To Atlanta, But Needs New Twist

Quote

Kanye West is hosting another album release for his upcoming "Donda" album at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta ... but he's still brainstorming on how to make the event unique to fill new seats.

Does he not want to leave MB stadium? Does he plan on living there forever? How many listening parties for the same album in the same place could he possibly need? I bet the only thing "unique" is going to be his outfit, it will be a different color.

Edited July 31, 2021 by GaT

[merylinkid]

The Falcons play their first preseason game in just about 2 weeks in the stadium.   I am pretty sure the Fulton County Stadium Authority is going to want Kanye to vacate the premises before then.

[Hiyo]

But don’t they recognize his genius as an excuse reason to let him stay as long as he wants and needs?

[Marley]

Kanye either knows a good marketing plan or he is completely off his meds losing it. Maybe both lol.

I'd buy a ticket. I like Kanye's music been a fan since "College Dropout" in 2004

[Marley]

I mean I like a lot of his music, but I wouldn’t pay what he’s probably charging to go.

Not to mention the album still isn't finished yet.

IMO dang near all concert tickets are overpriced because the musician gets all or damn near all of that money they don't have to split it with the record company

You may have heard that Drake & Kanye are at it again. I found this thread on Reddit discussing the feud, & had to post it here because of one comment by u/pinksxel that I just can't stop laughing about.

Kanye West Files to Legally Change His Name to 'Ye'

Quote

It's interesting -- Kanye also wants to drop the "West" from his persona altogether too ... which is kinda odd, considering he's shown pride in his family heritage -- and has often even called himself (both in person and in song) Mr. West. That too will be nixed if he gets the green light.

So what are his kids going to be called?

He is exhausting.
