Kanye West made it very clear that his tweet about running for president was not a joke in his first interview since.

Willie Nelson revealed that his late friend and collaborator Kenny Rogers originally wanted him to record one of his most enduring and popular songs. Nelson and Rogers collaborated on a number of projects before the latter died in March at age 81.
