Netflix Wednesday. The hip-hop star breaks down his mental-health struggles since the 2007 death of his beloved mother Donda West in “Act III: Awakening” — the third episode of the three-part documentary, which will begin streaming on March 2.

Kanye West has regularly connected his personal life to his music and other work throughout his career. While he’s performed tons of songs that reference friendships, his kids, and past romantic partners, one person who’s been a constant from day one is his mom Donda West. He’s been referencing his mama from his first album, well into his most recent record Donda in 2021. With the expected release of Donda 2, it’s clear Ye will keep paying tribute to his mom, who died in 2007 for years to come. Find out everything you need to know about Donda here.

Kanye West has announced details of a new listening party in Miami for his forthcoming new album ‘DONDA 2’ on the album’s prospective release date.Earlier this week (February 9), it was reported that West, who is now legally known as Ye, had held a private listening party for the ‘DONDA’ sequel in Los Angeles. The likes of Drake, Travis Scott and Yung Lean were also said to have been in attendance on the night, with Ye sharing an image overnight taken by Samuel Alemayhu which showed him with the three aforementioned artists and Baby Keem.Taking to Instagram last night (February 12), West shared a photo of a house on stilts wreathed in flames, seemingly related to the structure resembling the house he grew up in that he built inside Chicago’s Soldier Field stadium ahead of his planned ‘DONDA’ listening party last summer, while he also set himself ablaze in a recent music video.According to the post, the ‘DONDA 2’ listening party will take place at LoanDepot Park in Miami, Florida on February 22 (2/2/22), the prospective release date for the new album.

Kanye West has said Kid Cudi will not appear on ‘Donda 2’ over his friendship with SNL comedian Pete Davidson.The rapper is currently working on the follow-up to his latest album, which was released last August.West posted a handwritten note to Instagram earlier today (February 12) sharing the news with his fans. “Just so everyone knows Cudi will not be on Donda because he’s friends with you know who,” it read.

Kanye West reportedly held a private listening party for his forthcoming new album ‘DONDA 2’ in LA earlier this week.The rapper and producer’s sequel album to 2021’s ‘DONDA’ is set to be released on February 22. Future is said to be executively producing the record, while Marilyn Manson is also working on the album.West, who is now legally known as Ye, reportedly held a party in LA on Monday night (February 7) where ‘DONDA 2’ was played (via TMZ).The likes of Drake, Travis Scott and Yung Lean were also said to have been in attendance on the night, with West sharing an image overnight taken by Samuel Alemayhu which showed him with the three aforementioned artists and Baby Keem.A post shared by ye (@kanyewest)Yung Lean also shared the image on his Instagram overnight, captioning it: “New Beatles.”A post shared by @yunglean2001West’s Instagram post followed on from a video he shared last night (February 8) where he gave a passionate speech about “Black Future Month”.“There’s no more Black History Month,” he said in the clip.

Kanye West has made the argument that Black History Month – an annual commemoration of important people and events in the history of the African diaspora, celebrated every February in North America – is no longer relevant, instead declaring in a new video that February will henceforth be known as “Black Future Month”.The video shows West – who is legally known as Ye – standing in the centre of a hooded group and delivering a powerful speech on his upbringing and struggles as a Black man in modern America.“The system has been separating families in every way that they can, for years” he said, noting that he was separated from his mother (the first female head of the English department at Chicago State University) and his father (a Black Panther) at a young age, leading to a fractured relationship between West and the latter.He continued: “America is made to enslave us. What they ever gave us? We’d improve.

Adding more fuel to the fire? Kanye West has continued to fuel drama with his estranged wife, Kim Kardashian.

One of the most anticipated documentaries of the year is Jeen-Yus, a three-part film following Kanye West over 20 years from his humble beginnings in Chicago to music superstardom. The three-part film premiered at this year's Sundance Film Festival, but its wide release date – February 10 for one day in theaters with each part streaming on Netflix weekly beginning on February 16 – seemed in doubt recently.

Ye, seemingly shaded his estranged wife with the first part of his statement, referencing Kim’s divorces from Kris Humphries and Damon Thomas. Then he proceeds to ask for guidance and see if he could take action against the mother of his four children. West’s post received thousands of likes; however, most people on the comments section labeled the rapper as “Petty Betty,” adding that he is “bitter and unhappy.”People also questioned the reasons why she couldn’t have fun on TikTok.

It’s no secret that Kim Kardashian isn’t exactly on team Yeezy anymore, and the Keeping Up With The Kardashians' star has made that very clear with her latest choice of footwear.The 41 year old took to her Instagram to share an array of snaps showing off her cute pink workout attire, and rather than sporting her usual Yeezy sneakers, she donned a pair of pink foam Nike Air max’s. Putting them on full display to her fans, the shoe swap certainly hasn’t been ignored.The Sole Supplier reveals that following Kim’s post, Nike Air Max’s are 61% more in demand than Yeezys.

reported earlier this week that Marilyn Manson was once again working with Kanye West on the rapper’s forthcoming album ‘Donda 2’, the shock rocker has confirmed the ongoing collaboration.On Tuesday (February 1), West collaborator Digital Nas told Rolling Stone that Manson – real name Brian Hugh Warner – was “in there working on ‘Donda 2′” every time he had been to the studio.“[West] has some producers from ‘Yeezus’ working on ‘Donda 2’ this time around, [as well as] Marilyn, me, [and] a bunch of producers from ‘Donda 1’,” Nas told the publication.That came after Tim Skold, who has performed on multiple Marilyn Manson albums and toured as part of the band, last month shared a photo of himself in-studio on Instagram with the hashtags #marilynmanson, #kanyewest and #dondasplace.Now, Warner himself has confirmed the news, with a representative telling Newsweek he is “continuing his creative collaboration with Ye”.Warner previously featured on West’s ‘Donda’ track ‘Jail Pt 2’, and appeared alongside West at one of the rapper’s listening parties in Chicago last year.At the time, West drew backlash for collaborating with Warner, who was accused of sexually and physically abusive behaviour by multiple women in 2021, and is currently facing four civil lawsuits on sexual assault charges. Warner has denied all allegations.In February of last year, Warner’s former partner Evan Rachel Wood alleged she had been “horrifically abused” by the musician.

Marilyn Manson, the shock rocker who has been accused of abuse by several women, is reportedly spending "every day" in the studio working with Kanye West on his upcoming album Donda 2. Kanye West collaborator Digital Nas made the comments in an interview with Rolling Stone published on Monday. Manson has denied all of the allegations of abuse against him.

Kanye West has asserted his commitment to physical art forms, declaring on social media that he will not be joining the trend of artists releasing non-fungible tokens (or NFTs).“My focus is on building real products in the real world,” the rapper – who is legally known as Ye – wrote in a handwritten letter posted to his Instagram page today (February 1). He cites “real food”, “real clothes” and “real shelter” as three of his current focal points, before making a very clear demand of his fanbase: “Do not ask me to do a fucking NFT.”West isn’t barring the possibility of exploring the option later, though, with his letter ending, “Ask me later.”A post shared by ye (@kanyewest)Though he’s adamant on keeping off the blockchain for now, West has utilised digital formats in the past.

Marilyn Manson, who featured on Kanye West‘s ‘Donda’ track ‘Jail Pt 2’ and appeared at one of West’s album listening parties in Chicago last year, is reportedly working heavily with West on the album’s forthcoming sequel, ‘Donda 2’.‘Donda’ producer and West collaborator Digital Nas, speaking to Rolling Stone, said that he sees Manson in the studio frequently. “Every day I go to the studio, Marilyn is in there working on ‘Donda 2’,” he said.“He doesn’t want Marilyn to play rap beats,” Nas added.
