The rapper claimed that the drug fentanyl was responsible for the death of George Floyd, rather than the brutality of police officers.He also said “the Jewish media blocked [him] out”, and that the JPMorgan Chase bank “treated [him] like shit” following its decision to sever ties with Ye.The Drink Champs episode in question has since been taken down, and host N.O.R.E.

Kanye West has sparked another controversy after making comments about the death of George Floyd. Floyd, a Black man, was killed following an altercation with a white police officer in Minneapolis in May 2020.Distressing footage emerged soon after Floyd’s altercation with police which showed him being restrained on the ground by Derek Chauvin, who placed his knee on Floyd’s neck for over nine minutes. Despite Floyd’s continued pleas that he couldn’t breathe, Chauvin continued to apply pressure to Floyd’s neck. A lack of oxygen caused brain damage, heart failure and eventually death.In April 2021, Chauvin was found guilty of the murder of Floyd and he was sentenced to 21 years in prison.Now, in a new appearance on Drink Champs podcast, West has claimed that Floyd died from “Fentanyl” and said that a police officer’s knee “wasn’t even on his neck like that.” West made the comments while discussing Candace Owens’s documentary The Greatest Lie Ever Sold: George Floyd and the Rise of BLM.“They hit him with the fentanyl, if you look the guys knew wasn’t even on his neck like that,” West claimed.He went on to compare Floyd to designer Virgil Abloh, who died from cancer last November before going on to attack the “Jewish media” who he claims “blocked” him.“Tell me could you even rally run this interview? Mav (Maverick Carter) didn’t even run my interview, they blocked me out, the Jewish media blocked me out.

Kanye «Ye» West is not backing down. After Gigi Hadid called the 45-year-old rapper and designer a «joke» in light of his controversial White Lives Matter shirts and subsequent attack on editor Gabriella Karefa-Johnson, West fired back multiple times at the 27-year-old supermodel. In a new Instagram post, West shared a screenshot of an additional comment from Hadid calling out West for bending the truth about his on-off friendship with the late designer Virgil Abloh. In the comment, Hadid wrote, «Even people who knew him for a percentage of the time knew Kanye did not treat V like a friend.

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs has shared his thoughts on the “White Lives Matter” t-shirt worn by Kanye West at his recent Yeezy show for Paris Fashion Week.West has faced significant backlash for wearing a shirt with the phrase – an appropriation of the Black Lives Matter slogan used to protest racial injustice, discrimination and police brutality – along with models who walked at the show, and conservative pundit Candace Owens.Now, Diddy has taken to Instagram in response to West’s attire, disagreeing with its message. Diddy – who collaborated with West on Ty Dolla $ign’s 2015 song ‘Guard Down’ – begins the video by defending West as a “freethinker”, saying that he “will always support [his] brother,” but said of West’s stunt: “I don’t rock with it.

Khloe Kardashian has publicly slammed her former brother-in-law Kanye 'Ye' West as she urged him to leave his ex-wife and her sister Kim Kardashian alone, after he launched a fresh attack on her about their children. Ye has been vocal on Instagram in the past few days, where he spoke out against Gabriella Karefa-Johnson, a stylist and global Vogue contributing editor, who criticised him for his controversial "white lives matter" t-shirts at his YZY Paris Fashion Week show. Her friend and world-famous supermodel, Gigi Hadid leapt to her defence, and as Kanye, 45, called them out on Instagram, he used it as an opportunity to hit out, once again, at his ex-wife Kim, 42, after he alleges that she and her family tried to stop him from attending his four year old daughter Chicago's birthday party earlier this year.

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.

Kanye West sparked controversy with his YZY Paris Fashion Week show, as he arrived wearing a black sweatshirt with the slogan 'White Lives Matter' written across the back, with an image of Pope John Paul II printed on the front. Posing alongside Kanye, 43, was far-right commentator Candace Owens, who sported a white sweatshirt with the same slogan plastered across.

Taylor Swift in Amsterdam.The actor stars in David O. Russell’s new comedy, which also features Swift in a smaller role and sees her sing alongside Bale and John David Washington towards the start of the film.Bale recalled first hearing the news and telling his family about the forthcoming role alongside Swift, and said his daughter seemed disappointed.“That was a real nice surprise, and I actually didn’t tell anybody about that until afterwards,” Bale said in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter.

Scooter Braun has said that he regrets how things turned out with Taylor Swift when he acquired her former label Big Machine back in 2018.Although – like Swift – he somewhat blames the label’s former owner Scott Borchetta for the massive fallout that followed the announcement of that deal. Nonetheless, he admits to a certain level of “arrogance” to think that “someone would just be willing to have a conversation and be excited to work with me”.“I learned an important lesson from [the Big Machine acquisition]”, he tells NPR in a new interview.

On this week’s episode of NPR’s The Limits With Jay Williams, music mogul Scooter Braun joined the former NBA star — and his longtime friend — to discuss his life and career. During the interview, Williams brought up about Braun’s recent conflict with Taylor Swift, whose catalog he acquired in 2019 from her former label, Big Machine. Swift referred to the acquisition as her “worst-case scenario” at the time and said she was “sad and grossed out” by the way it had been handled in an impassioned Tumblr post.

Scooter Braun wishes he could have done things differently when it came to buying Taylor Swift’s music library.

Scooter Braun learned a big lesson after he acquired Big Machine Records in 2019, resulting in a controversial dispute with Taylor Swift.

Jem Aswad Senior Music Editor As has been well documented, the 2018, Scooter Braun-led acquisition of Big Machine Music Group — and the rights to Taylor Swift’s first six albums — caused some controversy. Swift — who had attempted, unsuccessfully, to acquire the rights herself — was outraged, launching not only a global dialog about artists owning the rights to their work, but sticking it to the new owners by beginning a campaign to re-record all of those albums and encouraging her fans to stream the new “Taylor’s Versions” instead of the earlier ones; two such albums have been released to great success. She had few kind words for Braun in the process. Braun bore the substantial wrath of the Swifties for a year or two before selling off the catalog (for a tidy profit) and said he had attempted to speak with the singer about the issue multiple times after the sale was finally revealed, to little avail. He has since sold his own company to the South Korean entertainment powerhouse HYBE, and continues to run it and manage the careers of Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande and others.

Erykah Badu has taken to social media to write an emotional message to Kanye West.After running in to Kanye at London Fashion Week to support their mutual friend and fashion designer Riccardo Tisci, Badu championed Ye in a post on Instagram.“Let me tell you about my friend Ye,” she wrote. “No one is more beautiful and kind and creative. Was there at his mama home going.”She went on to praise West for his work, writing: “IN ESSENCE.
