Are Kim Kardashian and Kanye West Getting Back Together?

/0 Comments/in , /by

There seems to be a chance that Kim Kardashian (40) and Kanye West (44) will get back together after all. When the reality star appeared in a wedding dress at the listening session of the rapper’s new album last Thursday and the two reportedly left the stadium in Chicago hand in hand, the rumor mill started spinning. Insiders now tell ‘TMZ’ that it is not impossible that the exes will try again.

Although Kim, according to the insiders, does not intend to put the divorce papers through the shredder for the time being, they are talking to each other. They would talk together about how to “rebuild the foundation of their relationship.”

The reality star and the rapper would mainly work on their band because of their four children. If it turns out that the two do not want to divorce, then that is only a bonus for the whole family, the couple thinks, according to insiders.

Kim filed for divorce in February after nearly seven years of marriage. Kanye would then have briefly dated model Irina Shayk.

Kanye already made 12.5 million by postponing album

The three listening parties that Kanye West (44) has organized for his new album ‘Donda’ have certainly not done him any harm. According to an estimate of ‘Vice’, the rapper has earned 7.5 million dollars (6.4 million euros) from the first two release parties in Atlanta. ‘Billboard’ even thinks that the third listening event in Chicago on Thursday will bring the total to more than 12.5 million dollars (10.6 million euros).

Kanye was set to release his tenth album, named after his mother, in late July. He booked a stadium in Atlanta for a release party, but afterwards he announced that he still wanted to tinker with the record. On August 5, he gave a second listening party in the stadium, which was also not followed by an album. Thursday there will be another release party for Donda , now in Chicago, after which the new music will really come out, according to the rapper’s manager.

Although the 80,000 visitors to the first two listening events all bought a ticket, the merchandise sold during those concerts is the gold mine, Vice states . After deducting production costs and the fifteen percent that his manager withholds from his income, the rapper would still have $3.3 million (2.8 million euros) left on the shirts, sweaters and other goods sold during the concerts.

PnB Rock, a Philadelphia-based rapper who is best known for his hit song “Selfie”, has pleaded guilty to charges of drug and firearm possession linked with a 2019 arrest in Bensalem, officials said Tuesday.

The defendant, Rakim Hasheem Allen (also known as PnB Rock), pleaded guilty to one count each of possession with intent and delivery, as well as one count of receiving stolen property. The sentences will run concurrently. His probation was allowed to be transferred to California, and he was ordered to perform 100 hours of community service.

In January 2019, after Bensalem Township cops obtained a search warrant for Allen at an apartment on Konefal Street in Bensalem, he was detained. The writ of assistance was issued by Bensalem Township authorities in January 2019 as a result of an inquiry that began in November 2018 following a series of complaints about loud celebrations.

According to the police, during their search they discovered five pounds of marijuana, scales, and packaging material in the apartment. They also unearthed over $33,000 in cash. San Antonio Police Department found a Glock handgun in 40 caliber that was reported stolen during the raid.

In 2019, Stephanie Sibounheuang and Allen were both arrested. In 2019, he pleaded guilty to possessing a prohibited drug. He was sentenced to six months of probation. PnB Rock pled guilty to one count of possession with the intent to distribute and another charge of receiving stolen property. He has been sentenced to 36 months on each count and he has been ordered to perform 100 hours of community service. His sentences will be served at the same time.

top four female rappers in ascending order. Some may surprise you while you may have expected others.

1. Nicki Minaj – Net worth: $ 85 million

“I feel like I’m King Kong/Name still going ding dong/It’s only two girls, getting more money, and they don’t rap they sing songs/.”

2. Queen Latifah – Net worth: $ 60 million

This one probably won’t surprise you. “Jack of all trades” rapper, actress, singer and songwriter Queen Latifah ranks second on our list of the top five richest female rappers.

Honestly, this cover girl did too much to make Hollywood less than number one or two. Hailing from Newark, New Jersey, Dana Elaine Owens has been emulated for years in every genre of entertainment she entered.

 

3. Missy Elliott – Net worth: $ 50 million

Number 3 is a woman whose finger is waves “Can’t Stand The Rain”, but she can stand alone in the studio as a producer among producers, man or woman. Melissa Arnette Elliot was born July 1, 1971.

Versatile creativity was recognized by MTV with the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award for having influenced music video culture so deeply. Not bad for the first female rapper to be inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame.

Famous Philadelphia Rapper Dark Lo Faces 7 Years In Prison

/0 Comments/in , /by

Famous Philadelphia rapper Dark Lo faces nearly a decade in prison for writing a threatening letter to a witness during AR-Ab’s drug trial.

A Philadelphia judge ultimately convicted rapper Dark Lo (real name Charles Salley) in a case that linked the rapper to gang violence and drug trafficking.

The federal court sentenced him to 7 years in prison, saying the eminent artist should have learned better.

According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, US District Judge Mark A. Kearney admitted that the rapper had too much to lose teetering in the music industry and the streets.

The artist apologized to the court for accusing a government witness that he could be “stabbed up” if he testified during the trial of his friend Abdul “AR-Ab in 2019.

The rapper sent a threatening letter to a team member named Donte “Taz” Stewart who collaborated with the government.

The letter threatened violence against the witness and his girlfriend.

Dark Lo appeared in court during the AR-Ab trial in 2019, the day Tez testified. The FBI seized the letter and arrested Dark Lo at his Delaware home.

Dark Lo said he didn’t want to scare anyone.

But it was reported that he released a rap song called “Allegations” which seemed to mean he “can’t wait to see” the one who opened his mouth to the police…

The judge, after reviewing all of this evidence, noted how he had turned his life of drug dealing into becoming a commercial rapper and said, “You are the word blacksmith. You chose these words. You know how to write words to create an effect.”

But he still sentenced Dark Lo to nearly a decade in prison for threatening a witness in the case. Dark Lo pleaded guilty to these charges earlier this year.

Nicki Minaj Husband Kenneth Petty Pleads Guilty After Failing To Register As A Sex Offender

/0 Comments/in , /by

Kenneth Petty (43) pleaded guilty to failing to register as a sex offender in California. The husband of Nicki Minaj (38) thus escapes the hefty prison sentence.

According to TMZ , Kenneth made a deal with the Public Prosecution Service whereby he will receive a lower sentence in exchange for his confession. Sex offenders who fail to submit mandatory registration can face up to ten years in prison plus life in probation. It is possible that he will also have to sit for a while. The prosecutors would also have pointed out in the papers that the minimum sentence is five years’ probation.

Kenneth was arrested in March of 2020 for moving to Nicki, California, but not registering as a sex offender there. He has had to do so since he was convicted in New York in 1995 for attempted rape. In addition to the registration, he must also adhere to a curfew. Earlier this year, he was allowed to be with the singer at any time of the day at the birth of his first child. The couple became parents of a son in October.

Kanye West Misses Donda Deadline Again

/0 Comments/in , /by

Kanye West (44) has again failed to release his new album ‘Donda’ on the planned date. The record was supposed to appear on Friday, after having been postponed twice before, but is still not online on Saturday.

Fans can pre-order ‘Donda’ through Apple Music. It now states that the album will be released on August 13. Whether that is correct is not clear. The rapper has not yet responded to the news that he is late again.

‘Donda’, Kanye’s tenth studio album, was supposed to be released last year. The rapper postponed this and chose July 23 as the new date, but even then he was not satisfied enough with the songs. He decided to stay at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, where he threw a release party on July 21, to continue tinkering with his music. Last Thursday he organized another event in the stadium to celebrate the arrival of the album.

It is more common that the rapper decides at the last minute not to release an album on the planned date. For example, the release of his previous album ‘Jesus Is King’ (2019) was postponed several times and fans also had to wait longer for previous albums.

Meanwhile, the rapper would be busy with a new sweetheart in his life.

Kanye West Takes A Nap During New Album Release Party

/0 Comments/in , /by

Kanye West (44) has thrown another release party for his new album ‘Donda’. The launch party was even more exuberant than the first time, American media report. The rapper took a nap and a number of push-ups during the event, among other things.

The launch again took place at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. There, the artist held a big listening event to share his new music with his fans. According to attendees, he regularly made use of a makeshift bed during the session and the rapper also occasionally used his phone to call someone.

One of the highlights of the event was when the rapper let himself hoist and hover above the stage. Images of a ‘flying’ Kanye were widely shared on social media.

Named after West’s mother, ‘Donda’ was actually supposed to come out on July 23. The night before, the musician also held a major listening event to share his new music with his fans. That event was simpler set up than the second party. The first time, the rapper stood alone in the middle of the stadium, moving along quietly, occasionally saying something through a microphone while the album was playing.

The day after the party, however, he went into a makeshift studio in the stadium because he still wanted to tinker with the album. To date, the real album has still not been presented. That is expected to happen on Friday. For Kanye, delay is not an unusual move, because he has often decided to go into the studio again at the very last minute. The release of his previous album ‘Jesus Is King’ (2019) was also postponed a few times.

Rapper C-Murder Claims Sealed Documents Hold Keys To His Freedom

/0 Comments/in , /by

Rapper C-Murder, no-limit rapper, has been serving a life sentence since 2009 for his alleged role in the murder of 16-year-old boy in 2002. He has claimed his innocence from the onset.

Today, after a series of major twists and turns during his trial, the rapper claims there are sealed documents that hold the key to his freedom.

In a press release from his publicist on Wednesday August 4, rapper C-Murder claims there are 31 hidden documents showing illegal DNA reports that were not presented during his attempted murder.

He claims a match was found when analyzing his DNA in the Combined DNA Index System (CODIS) database, but the Attorney ordered that the genetic data be pulled from the system and marked as unknown.

Miller called for a full investigation into the “corruption that led to his current imprisonment” and for the press to demand that the 31 documents be turned over to him and his legal department. The courts are apparently fighting against the disclosure of these documents.

“Half of my life has been stolen by the Louisiana courts and it stops now!” said C-murder.

The press release also said that the no-limit rapper, currently housed at Elayn Hunt Correctional Center in Jefferson Parish, Louisiana, has gone on a hunger strike to protest the medical negligence he and other inmates have suffered since the Covid pandemic.

He also added that “While quarantined, the inmates are on constant lockdown and are not allowed to leave the dorm to receive fresh air. The tests that they provide are not up to standard and they are giving many erroneous results. There are many inmates that have ailments that were not properly treated and as a result, have died after contracting the virus.

“I believe that the world should know what is occurring here and their loved ones deserve to know the truth.”
