Kanye West’s New Album Hits #1 on Apple Music

August 31, 2021/0 Comments/in Celebrities, Gossip /by StevennewBlogger1

The long-awaited new album ‘Donda’ by Kanye West (44), which was launched on Sunday, has immediately been noted as the highest entry at Apple Music. ‘Donda’ reached the number 1 position in 152 countries within 24 hours. Also on Spotify, it was the most streamed album so far in 2021. In addition, the record, named after Kanye’s late mother, was streamed 60 million times in the United States.

The singer held three listening sessions prior to the release of his new album: two in Atlanta and one in Chicago. During that last session, the singer brought the controversial Marilyn Manson and DaBaby on stage, something that was not appreciated by all his fans. Manson is under fire for multiple sexual abuse charges filed against him and DaBaby recently slammed out highly homophobic lyrics at one of his concerts.

The singer announced on Sunday that the record was released by the record company Universal without his permission. Universal also allegedly kept the song ‘Jail pt 2’ with DaBaby off the record without his knowledge. The record company contradicts this, calling his words “absurd.”

Donda is West’s tenth studio album and the follow-up to the 2019 gospel album Jesus Is King.

Alleged Male Victim of R. Kelly Testifies in Court

After several women have told their story about R. Kelly (54), the first alleged male victim of the singer was now in court to make a statement. The witness believes that he was exploited by Kelly as a minor student. This is reported by The New York Times.

“He then told me to keep this incident between the two of us”

The man, whose identity has remained anonymous, says Kelly placated him in 2007 with promises to help him with his music career after they met at a McDonald’s branch.

“He asked me what it took me to succeed in the entertainment industry, to which I replied that I would do anything for him from carrying his bags to other chores. But he didn’t mean that, because then he asked me if I ever fantasized about having sex with a man. Then he knelt in front of me to give me oral sex, which I didn’t want to do. He then told me to keep this incident between the two of us.”

It didn’t stop there, because during a meeting the singer subsequently summoned a young naked girl to provide both him and the underage boy with oral sex. When asked why the alleged victim kept seeing Kelly despite everything, he replied: “Because I really wanted to make it in the industry and kept hoping he could help me.”

Kelly has always denied all allegations against him.

According to Kanye West (44) record label Universal released his album ‘Donda’ without his permission. Universal also allegedly kept the song ‘Jail pt 2’ with DaBaby off the record without his knowledge. The rapper announced this via Instagram a few hours after the release on Sunday.

Donda , named after West’s late mother, hit the streaming services on Sunday after multiple delays. The first hours were without the song ‘Jail pt 2’. West posted on Instagram that it was because DaBaby’s team had not yet agreed, but that post was later removed and the track reappeared.

During the third listening session for the album last Thursday, it turned out that it was no longer Jay-Z, but now DaBaby could be heard on the song Jail. That was a controversial choice, as DaBaby recently came under fire for expressing himself homophobic during a performance. On the album that came out on Sunday, the version with Jay-Z could be heard again, but later the version by Jail on which DaBaby collaborated was also released.
Donda is West’s tenth studio album and the follow-up to the 2019 gospel album Jesus Is King .

Long-awaited album Kanye West finally released

‘Donda’, the long-awaited new album by Kanye West (44), has been released after several delays. The album, named after the rapper’s late mother, was released on streaming services on Sunday afternoon.

Kanye’s tenth studio album contains a total of 27 songs. Rappers like Jay-Z, DaBaby and the late Pop Smoke collaborated on it. Marilyn Manson can also be heard on a song. Earlier this week, his cooperation already caused a stir because the American shock rocker is accused of sexual abuse by several women.

After three previous postponements, ‘Donda’ was supposed to be released last Friday, but that deadline was not met either. Kanye suggested earlier on Sunday that the delay was because DaBaby’s manager was not yet satisfied.

The rapper was supposed to release the album last year, but that was postponed. Kanye hosted a total of three listening sessions for his fans in major stadiums this month and last. The release of the album was always planned for the day after such an event.

‘Donda’ is the successor to the gospel album ‘Jesus Is King’ from 2019. That record was also released later than planned because the perfectionist rapper kept tinkering with it.

There seems to be a chance that Kim Kardashian (40) and Kanye West (44) will get back together after all.

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.

August 30, 2021/0 Comments/in Celebrities, Gossip /by StevennewBlogger1

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.

The Urban Spotlight – Richest Top 4 Female Rappers

August 10, 2021/0 Comments/in Celebrities, Gossip /by StevennewBlogger1

Women put aside their aprons and oven mitts and proved that they can make as much and sometimes more money than men. This article covers the richest
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/.”

According to our research, this is a true claim, and these two girls are Rihanna and Beyonce. The reigning queen of net worth when it comes to the top five richest female rappers is the icon and loving mother Onika Tanya Maraj-Petty.

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.

4. Cardi B – Net worth: $ 24 million

Coming fourth on our list is the pregnant mother of Kulture Kiari, wife of Migos member Offset. Cardi B captured our hearts as a social media influencer with inspirational posts that were “clicky” and to say the least refined, encouraging and entertaining to say the least.

The Love and Hip Hop star started out as a stripper checking mail after Mona Scott. With “RedBarz” she proved to us that she could rap and write her own lyrics. Belcalis Almanzar then proved to us that she is an intelligent businesswoman who is not afraid of winning when it comes to hiring a team of negroes.
