Granted Kanye can act like a spoiled lil’ brat at times, but it’s kind of hard to believe that he’s beefing with Jay-Z over a damn chain! According to Damon Dash, the bitter ex-homie/partner of Jay-Z, back in 2003 at a concert in Chicago, Kanye demanded that Jay “knight” him with a chain. But, Jay refused to lend his bling to the then up-and-coming star who was signed onto Roc-A-Fella Records. Dame claims that this incident in particular caused Kanye to hate Jay ever since. Really?! He tells the December ’08 issue of Complex,
“This n**ger (West) was like, ‘Wow, (Jay-Z) ain’t going to give me this chain. I had to take off my chain and give it to him, and I was heated. I had the real canary diamonds. That s**t cost $40,000. I told Kanye, ‘Yo, you got to give that back when we get off this stage!”.
However, Kanye’s mouthpiece has totally dismissed Dame’s claims telling the NY Daily News that the report is “ridiculous and totally false”. Kanye has enough bread to cop as many chains as he wants to “knight” his damn self! Real talk, Dame needs to worry about his financial woes instead of trying to start up some drama.
This all sounds another 50 Cent move. Could Dame be stirring up beef to bring attention to his latest protege Jim Jones?!
It’s crazy that Kanye has to carefully screen the chicks he dates. Apparently, he’s scared that chicks will falsely accuse him rape after he smashes. ‘Ye has publicly admitted that he’s looking for love and insists that he hates the single life, but is very apprehensive about getting into relationships because his celebrity status prevents him from trusting women.He says,
“The pursuit of sex can see you in scary situations. A girl might say, ‘Oh, he raped me’. Then you have to fight to get your name back.”
Not only does Kanye want his ideal chick too look good, but she also has to be fly. He adds,
“Anyone who says they are happy single is lying. I think you can only be happy in love. So I’m still looking. I like sex but I like fashion too. How many girls have a hot body and great fashion sense too?”
Does ‘Ye have a point. I mean, is fashion sense a vital factor for men in finding a main chick?! Since when do guys care if a chick rocks Gucci or Payless shoes?! Fellas, your thoughts please…
U.K.’s sensation, Estelle, definitely has a stellar voice, but as for her grill now that’s a totally different story! Estelle desperately wanted to get her teeth fixed since she was a teen, but was too scared by the thought of pain to visit the orthodontist. Well, she decided to put her fears aside because she’s so convinced that she will win a Grammy next year. According to the “American Boy” chart topper she wants to be able to flash her new smile at the high profile award ceremony. She says,
“I don’t like pain… I’m such a wuss. I’ve decided to get them (braces) because I figure that I’ll try and get some Grammys next year, and I want to smile and not be like, ‘Oh God, my teeth!’”
For the meantime, she’s sticking to braces. Can’t help but wonder…is she really getting her grill fixed for her own personal reasons or because the label said so??hmmm…
When it comes to marketing Diddy will come up with just about anything to make a buck! But, now he’s gone a bit too far and by that I mean using President-elect Barack Obama to sell his new men’s cologne “I am King“. “I am King” will hit stores next month and Diddy is hoping that the very same people who voted for Barack Obama will be more inclined to purchase his cologne.
“When you see Barack Obama, you see a strong, elegant black man and when people see my ad, it’s almost like that’s the trend,” he told The Wall Street Journal.
As for promoting the fragrance, Diddy is holding a luncheon in LA is hitting TV talk shows hard body. And of course Diddy is featured in the ads where he’s donned in a tuxedo on the French Riviera aboard a yacht, on jet skis and on helicopters.
When was the last time you’ve seen Barack on a yacht or a jet ski in the French Riviera?! Never…my point exactly! Wow, Diddy is seriously trying to capitalize on one of the most historic events in this country’s history by selling people a small ass and not to mention expensive bottle of scented agua! Real talk, whoever falls for this is a damn fool!
With the takeover of Beyonce & Rihanna in the US and worldwide, there just wasn’t enough room for poor lil’ Mya to make ends meet. So she moved on to Japan, where they show her major love. So much so, her first single “Paradise” off of her upcoming album Sugar and Spice is #1 in Japan on the western ringtone charts leaving Beyoncé and Britney Spears behind. Check out her latest video shot in NYC by Marc Baptiste.
If by “Paradise” she meant her loose cheeks then I totally get the relevance, but there’s nothing about the video that says or feels like “Paradise”…did I miss something?!
GQ named the President-Elect ‘Game Changer of the Year.’ The cover shot was taken by Mark Seliger in Philadelphia on October 3. The photographer was reportedly only given 1 minute, 45 seconds for the entire shoot. WOW! How do you break the ice in less than two minutes?
Rihanna’s latest video and single premiered on MTV earlier today where she and Justin Timberlake get very close. The pop song was co-written by Justin Timberlake and produced by Timbaland. See it after the jump…
I don’t see a weird or crazy thing in the video…wtf these people talking about?! I mean besides the robe or trench coat and squatting action, there’s nothing “funny” about this footage, hmm….
StraightOuttaNYC reader, Scotty, sent in these photos of Aubrey O’Day spotted a few feet away from Diddy at the Victoria Secret’s fashion show this weekend in Miami. Supposedly Diddy and Aubrey O’day walk in together.
“They were laughing together and at one point they were hugging. I think we have all been PLAYED. I guess him firing her was a tv stunt.”
Eventhough the pair worked the carpet together, Diddy and his other celeb friends enjoyed the runway show from the first row- meanwhile Aubrey was subjected to D-List treatment when assigned to fifth row seating. Celebrity my a$$!
And is it me or has Aubrey upgraded her look ever since she was given her walking papers from Danity Kane? Wonder if she’s still planning on working with Suge Knight?
