Kanye West has claimed his music catalogue is being put up for sale without his knowledge. On Monday, Billboard reported that members of the Stronger rapper's "camp" have been "quietly and intermittently" shopping around his publishing catalogue to prospective buyers. His team reportedly met with these buyers to explore how much his music is worth, with estimates suggesting around $175 million (£154 million).
Kanye responded to the report on his Instagram Stories on Tuesday by writing, "Just like Taylor Swift. . .
my publishing is being put up for my sale without my knowledge. . .
Not for sale. " Although Kanye compared himself to his on-off rival Taylor, their situations are different. Music manager Scooter Braun brought Taylor's former record label, Big Machine Records, and the ownership of the master recordings of her first six studio albums, back in 2019.
The Shake It Off singer tried to buy her masters from the label before the deal closed but couldn't reach an agreement on the terms. She is currently in the process of re-recording her first six albums and has already released the "Taylor's Version" of her records Fearless and Red.

David O Russell’s oeuvre, it’s that great film-making chops (Three Kings!) meet wildly divergent outcomes (often within a single film); Russell will fall out with some of his cast, and said cast will be star-filled. His latest is Amsterdam, a period crime romp led by Margot Robbie, Christian Bale and John David Washington, abetted by Robert De Niro, Anya Taylor-Joy, Chris Rock, Rami Malek, Mike Myers, Andrea Riseborough, Zoe Saldaña, Michael Shannon and Taylor Swift. Results may vary.
Jordan Moreau “Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile” is slowly getting ready to take a bite out of the weekend box office. It earned $575,000 from 3,453 theaters in Thursday previews, while David O. Russell’s “Amsterdam” picked up $550,000 million from 3,005 theaters. Sony’s live-action/CGI hybrid, co-financed by TSG, is a family-friendly movie about a singing crocodile, starring Grammy-nominated artist Shawn Mendes as the titular reptile. The studio projects an opening haul of $11 million to $12 million, with some projections belting out upwards of $15 million. With a budget of $50 million, it will need plenty of support from kids and families over the fall to snap up a profit. The cast includes Javier Bardem as Hector P. Valenti, Lyle’s flamboyant owner, Brett Gelman as Mr. Grumps and Constance Wu, Scoot McNairy and Winslow Fegley as the Primm family. The Primms move to a new house in New York City, where they discover Lyle, a saltwater crocodile with the voice of a high-end recording artist, living in their attic.
Every role is designed for Leonardo DiCaprio, according to Christian Bale.
A surprising collab? Taylor Swift and Drake might be releasing new music together soon. As part of her Reputation re-recordings, the “Bad Blood” singer will team up with the “One Dance” rapper for a song that she wrote at the height of her feud with Kanye West and Kim Kardashian.
After going on a bullying spree on Instagram, dragging Vogue contributing editor Gabriella Karefa-Johnson for her criticism of his “White Lives Matter” shirt, Kanye West has returned to social media to clear the air.
unveiled “White Lives Matter” T-shirts in his YZYSZN9 fashion show on Monday, Ye defended his designs in a series of Instagram rants.In one of his tirades, the 45-year-old self-proclaimed genius claimed Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessy CEO Bernard Arnault “killed” the late and beloved Off-White designer, who died of cancer in 2021 at age 41.“SPANK MY HAND WITH THE RULER(S) I’LL GO SIT IN THE ‘PRINCIPAL(S)’ OFFICE,” West captioned a photo of a statue. “CAN’T WE TALK ABOUT MORE IMPORTANT THINGS?

“The world is beautiful, this world is luscious and precise, and it takes specific people to create a living world,” director David O. Russell says in a new exclusive clip about the craft of his latest film, “Amsterdam.” While the film, which comes out this week on October 7, has been lauded for its sprawling, A-list cast—Margot Robbie, Christian Bale, and John David Washington as the three leads, plus a cavalcade of supporting actors like Chris Rock, Anya Taylor-Joy, Zoe Saldaña, Mike Myers, Michael Shannon, Taylor Swift, Rami Malek, and Robert De Niro— there are also several superstars below the line who worked on the gorgeous-looking movie.
Scooter Braun learned a big lesson after he acquired Big Machine Records in 2019, resulting in a controversial dispute with Taylor Swift.
problematic uncle in the industry family, certain to entertain and disturb in equal measure, depending on what one is willing to overlook when the sausage is being made (or even, considering some reports, when he’s away from the factory).That the Oscar-nominated writer-director is in the mix again with the period comedy-adventure “Amsterdam” after seven years away (since 2015’s lumpy “Joy”) indicates a willingness in Hollywood to endure the reminders of his behavioral issues and to bet on the recipe of star power, emotional smarts and provocative farce that forged “Flirting with Disaster,” “Silver Linings Playbook” and “American Hustle.”Only the first ingredient is in evidence with “Amsterdam,” however, and no amount of wattage from Christian Bale, Margot Robbie, John David Washington, Zoe Saldana, Anya Taylor-Joy, Rami Malek or Robert De Niro — or even an A-list B-team of Taylor Swift, Chris Rock, Andrea Riseborough, Matthias Schoenaerts, Alessandro Nivola, Mike Myers and Michael Shannon — can lift this flat, unfunny genre-fluid whatsit from its performative stumbling toward contemporary relevance.At first, when it’s 1933 New York, we sense an eccentric buddy-picture in the making, centered on themes of integration and the treatment of veterans. Bale’s character (and semi-narrator) is Burt Berendsen, a scraggly, half-Catholic/half-Jewish doctor focused on new medicines for wounded Great War soldiers like himself (he lost an eye) and estranged from his status-conscious Park Avenue wife (Riseborough).
Christian Bale has said he had to stop talking to Chris Rock on the set of Amsterdam because he was too “bloody funny”.The Dark Knight actor said he had to start ignoring Rock after he started making him laugh on the set of the David O. Russell film, and Bale found he “couldn’t act”.“I remember his first day, I was excited to meet him, I’m a big fan of his standup,” Bale told IndieWire.
“You Need To Calm Down.”Hours after fans hypothesized that Taylor Swift could be the Super Bowl LVII halftime-show act, TMZ and People “have learned” from sources close to the situation that she will not be performing at the game. The buzz around Swift’s Super Bowl appearance began when the NFL and Apple Music released a press release Friday at midnight, announcing that the streaming service would fill Pepsi’s spot as the halftime show’s sponsor.
“Ready for It?”Taylor Swift fans — also known as Swifties — think the NFL just alluded to the possibility that the 32-year-old singer-songwriter may play next year’s Super Bowl LVII halftime show.The league didn’t namedrop any acts in a press release issued Friday to announce that Apple Music will now sponsor the halftime show, but it did drop the release at midnight.The “Lover” songstress released both her 2020 pandemic albums “Folklore” and “Evermore” at that time and has included the word “midnight” in her lyrics for years.To top the theory off, her ninth album “Midnights” drops on Oct. 21.Swift is famous for her Easter eggs — subtle or complex hints about upcoming projects for fans to put together to come up with their own theories on what could be coming next from the superstar.See you in February.
Love Island rubbed shoulders with some top Hollywood A-listers at the premiere for Margot Robbie’s new film in London. Luca Bish, as well as Andrew Le Page and Tasha Ghouri were invited along to the premiere of Amsterdam in the capital’s Leicester Square on Wednesday night. The mystery comedy boasts a massively star-studded ensemble cast, including Margot, Christian Bale, Chris Rock, Anya Taylor-Joy, Mike Myers, Rami Malek, Robert De Niro and even Taylor Swift.
in a TikTok video posted, naturally, at the stroke of midnight.Having previously only revealed that there were 13 tracks on “Midnights,” the 11-time Grammy winner debuted “Midnights Mayhem With Me” as a way to roll out the song titles with a lottery-style cage containing balls marked 1 through 13.“I know I have a habit of dropping cryptic clues and Easter eggs when giving you information about new music, and I’m not here to deny that — I’m here to defy that,” she says in the TikTok. “Welcome to a series I’m calling ‘Midnights Mayhem With Me.’ I am going to be using this technologically advanced device to help me allow fate to decide exactly what tracks titles I’m going to be announcing and in what order.”The 32-year-old entertainer then draws the first ball from the cage, and it just so happens to be for Track 13 — which any good Swiftie knows is Tay Tay’s lucky number.“The first track I’m going to tell you about is Track 13, because, of course,” says Swift, who then picks up a red phone and reveals that “Track 13 is called ‘Mastermind.’ ”And that title tease is all that eager fans get for now, and they will need to calm down and wait for what will presumably be 12 more videos — which are sure to be dropped at the witching hour — before getting the full track listing for “Midnights.”But Swift wasn’t playing it so coy when she accepted her Songwriter-Artist of the Decade honor at the Nashville Songwriter Awards, which took place at Music City’s Ryman Auditorium on Tuesday night.“Writing songs is a calling, and getting to call it your career makes you very lucky,” said Swift, who, of course, got her start in Nashville as a country artist.
Kanye West has come out with claims that his publishing catalogue is “being put up for sale” without his approval, involvement or even awareness – contesting reports that his team had pitched the sale to prospective buyers.Earlier this week, Billboard reported that West was “quietly and intermittently shopping his publishing catalog”, and that representatives for the rapper had met privately with prospective buyers to “explore what kind of valuation” his extensive discography could net.It’s said that West is eying a valuation as high as 35 times that of the net publisher’s share – around $175million (£153.9million), based on the estimation that West’s catalogue earns him $5million (£4.4million) of annual revenue.West has now denied his reported involvement in the potential sale, taking to his Instagram Story overnight to declare that his catalogue is “not for sale”, noting that “just like Taylor Swift, my publishing is being put up for sale without my knowledge”.The situation West is referring to is the 2019 sale of Swift’s material released between 2006 to 2017, which was acquired by Scooter Braun (with whom Swift had long feuded) when he purchased her former label, Big Machine Records, for $330million (£290million). That sale was enormously controversial, with Swift herself describing it as her “worst case scenario” and leading her to re-record two of the albums she no longer owns the original masters to – 2008’s ‘Fearless’ and 2012’s ‘Red’ – with the suffix of ‘Taylor’s Version’.The rights to West’s catalogue currently lie with Sony Music Publishing.
Kanye West is getting protective over his music.
