He's just unfaithful with a lot of different women. I got to the point where I thought, my heart can't take it anymore. I don't deserve this. I don't care when people say that I owe him my life because I'm famous now. I don't owe him nothing."

Event: Kanye West @ Sydney Entertainment Centre (27/1/2012)

Kanye West is one of the most acclaimed musicians of his generation and a certified, name-up-in-lights superstar, yet a live Kanye performance nonetheless seems a bit problematic on paper. His records are heavily collaborative affairs, cherry picking the biggest names from his genre and beyond to realise his visions of kaleidoscope, wide-screen extravaganzas. Live, there are just a couple of musicians, no special guests and a lot of pre-recorded backing. Its basically all Kanye. But in this high-energy juggernaut of a show, that proves to be more than enough. While a persistent criticism of touring hip-hop acts is the stop-start nature of their performances, Kanyes foot is rarely off the pedal tonight. After appearing deep in the dancefloor crowd on a crane, he powers through Power and Dark Fantasy to a near hysterical reception. The classic Jesus Walks soon follows, West stalking the stage and spitting out words with such urgency, he seems more a hungry up-and-comer with a point t...

"Everyone Is Someone's Sloppy Seconds, Unless You're A Virgin"

Video vixen Amber Rose recently opened up on her love life and addressed critics who have labeled her "sloppy seconds" following a break-up with rap star Kanye West two years ago. Discussing her love for current boyfriend Wiz Khalifa , Rose said he is jealous-free of her past Yeezy romance. "We both travel a lot, so when we do see each other, we lay up in the bed, get sticky with each other, and watch movies," said Amber. "If Wiz felt insecure about me dating Kanye, I wouldn't be with him today. Everyone is someone's sloppy seconds, unless you're a virgin." Amber admits that her jetset life can sometimes feel surreal. "Like every poor person, I used to dream about winning the lottery," said Amber, who estimated she's worth millions today. "I didn't just get money, though. I got fame. And I got fame before I got money, and it was scary. It f---ing sucks." ( New York Post ) Last spring, Rose addressed Khalifa/Kanye ...

Kanye's flow interrupted by technical glitches

Kanye West ... unsettled. THE US rapper Kanye West is having a rough time in Australia. On Friday night, West, who is touring for the Big Day Out, was left agitated when his sideshow performance at the packed Sydney Entertainment Centre was marred by technical faults. Early into the two-hour show, West looked unsettled before stopping mid-performance to complain: ''I can't keep going with these lighting issues.'' Advertisement: Story continues below Later, during a 20-minute performance of Runaway , his microphone stopped working, leaving a woman dancer to distract the audience while he waited for a replacement. Earlier in the week, the 34-year-old copped flak for holding up the Gold Coast audience of the Big Day Out for 45 minutes. But the organiser, Ken West, defended his headlining act, blaming the delay on rain damage to equipment. At Sydney's Big Day Out on Australia Day, the rapper was reportedly 13 minutes late for the 47,000 punters. Despite the technica...

DJ Whoo Kid has dropped one of his most explosive 'Untold Stories' yet - according to the G-Unit DJ, a minor studio falling out between Kanye West and Ludacris may have led to the infamous car crash which propelled Yeezy to fame. The latest chapter in his series of career tales told to Thisis50.com, claims a typically enthusiastic Kanye tried to impress Luda by spitting his best rhymes for almost an hour when the pair crossed paths to lay down a track for a Whoo Kid mixtape - apparently, though, the Chicago newcomer hogging the booth didn't go down too well with 'Cris. "So Kanyes looking crazy, you know, trying to impress Luda, but it wasnt that time. Luda wanted to come in, do that verse and get the f**k out. So, what made it worse is he went out there and played a beat but by the time he got out there, Luda picked a Red Spyda beat. So now I gotta tell Kanye Your services are not needed," revealed Whoo Kid. Immediately after the session, a pissed off Kanye s...

Amber Rose 'Disgusted' By Kanye West Stealing Claims

Amber Rose is said to be "disgusted" by claims that she was planning to steal money from Kanye West. The model's supposed former publicist made the allegations earlier this week , and blamed her split from the rapper on the fact that her plan to steal his millions had been foiled. However, Amber's new publicist James Campbell has released a statement shooting down the accusations and even claiming that they have never heard of Janero Marchand - her 'ex-publicist.' " My name is James Campbell , Amber Rose 's current PR person. I would like to address the controversy regarding Amber and Janero Marchand ," he said in a statement to The YBF. " First off, I'd like to clarify that Mr. Marchand has never worked with Amber as far her public relations.

Kanye West Takes Fan, Soundgarden Flack After Big Day Out Delay

A Big Day Out turned into a rough one for Kanye West . The hip-hop star, headlining the Australian festival over the weekend, was reportedly 45 minutes late to the stage after inclement weather led to sound problems. According to local publication the Gold Coast Bulletin , the delay was "unheard of in BDO history." The delayed set reportedly earned chants of "bulls***" from fans, as well as harsh words from Soundgarden frontman Chris Cornell, whose co-headlining set clashed with the noise from West's soundcheck. "Sounds like there's children playing music there, retarded children, retarded as in 'held back,'" Cornell told the audience, according to the Daily Telegraph . "There's no other word for it." The festival drew 38,000 people, not enough to reach capacity -- the first time in years that the Gold Coast Big Day Out failed to sell out. (Among other possible reasons, West headlined Queensland's Splendour in the Grass f...

Kanye West makes fashion debut in Paris

PARIS -- Rap star Kanye West a regular fashion show attendee staged his runway debut on Saturday night at an off-calendar event on the sidelines of Paris Fashion Week attended by Vogue editor Anna Wintour. Black and white dominated as West sent models out in leather zipped pants and black dresses with plunging rectangular necklines, while one of the most noted pieces in the spring-summer collection was a bulky backpack in fox fur. Celebrities packed the long white room, part of a Paris high school, among them the Olsen sisters Mary-Kate and Ashley, both actresses-turned-designers, and Lindsay Lohan who recently tried her hand at designing for Ungaro. But the mood was business-like despite the buzz surrounding Wests first fashion steps, and the singer appeared for a brief bow at shows end dressed simply in grey jeans and white T-shirt with a trim beard.

Kanye West Takes Heat For Australian Festival Delay

It wasn't a delay on par with his 2008 Bonnaroo debacle when he took the stage at roughly 4:30 a.m. (and then nearly destroyed his MacBook Air in the aftermath) but at Sunday's Big Day Out festival in Australia, Kanye West was nearly 45 minutes late for his headlining slot. And, as you can imagine, folks weren't thrilled to be kept waiting. According to reports , fans bided their time by breaking into numerous chants of "bullsh--" as they stood in the rain, and when West finally did appear, many wandered off to watch other acts like Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds and My Chemical Romance. The Gold Coast Bulletin wrote that West blamed the delay on "sound problems" caused by the wet weather. While those chants were no doubt withering, West did manage to rebound and wow fans with a booming, ballerina-enhanced set. Unfortunately, he couldn't impress fellow headliners Soundgarden , who were apparently less than pleased that his soundcheck bl...

Kanye West - Festival Organisers Defend Kanye West

Organisers of Australia's Big Day Out festival have urged fans to "stop picking on" Kanye West after the rapper left his audience waiting for nearly an hour on Sunday (22Jan12). The hip-hop star faced boos and jeers from the crowd at the Gold Coast event after he started his set more than 45 minutes late due to heavy rain. Soundgarden star Chris Cornell was also angry about the delay as the noise from West's show disrupted his band's set on a nearby stage. However, festival boss Ken West has now come to the rapper's defence, insisting the downpour led to serious technical problems. He says in a statement, "Stop picking on Kanye - the technical problems that delayed his start time by 45 minutes were from rain damaging our equipment.

The volume of his set infiltrated Soundgarden's performance on a nearby stage, prompting the group's fans to boo and Cornell himself to speak out over the noise. He shouted, "Sounds like theres children playing music there, retarded children, retarded as in held back. Theres no other word for it." Cornell wasn't the only one upset by the hip-hop star's delayed gig - fans waiting to catch the star booed and chanted "bulls**t" as they waited for him to take the stage, according to Goldcoast.com.au.

Local News: Soundgarden vs Kanye West at the Big Day Out

The Big Day Out kicked off with a bang on the Gold Coast this weekend, and it seems a lot of the sparks were flying between headliners Soundgarden and Kanye West.

American rapper Kanye West made a very late but dramatic entrance last night at the Gold Coast Big Day Out, the first stop of the event's 20th Australian tour. West started his 90-minute set 45 minutes late, much to the annoyance of the crowd which grew impatient at the half hour mark. A crew member finally took to a microphone to inform fans that the day's rain had affected the sound equipment, but it did little to appease the crowd. The singer opened his set from a raised platform in the middle of the crowd, before joining his troupe of dancers on the Blue Stage for a show similar to the one he performed at Splendour in the Grass just over six months ago. It was a less dramatic affair over on the Green Stage with former Oasis guitarist Noel Gallagher and his new band, the High Flying B...

Not only did he school the world on the name of his fashion line (it's KANYE WEST, people, let us never misinterpret that again), he hat-tipped his mom's savvy style pairing of fur coats and Cosby sweaters, as well as professed his undying passion for fashion, Leonardo da Vinci, Azzedine Alaa , and creativity in general that culminated in the typed unveiling of his new design company, DONDA, named after his mother. You guys, it was epic . But the Twitter diatribe left us with so many questions, such as, what's going on with his fashion line? Apparently it has no backers or PR at the mo'. Will there be a Fall 2012 Paris Fashion Week show? And where is Kanye RIGHT NOW? Well, Yeezy's in Paris, y'all, and he...

It seems, on top of his role as captain of G.O.O.D. Music, designing a fashion line and creating a new creative thinktank in honour of his mother Donda, Yeezy is trying his had at creating apps. A source told The Sun , "Kanye met the Angry Birds creators at a late-night meeting in the capital. It was his idea. They brainstormed ideas and talked about ways they could work together."

Kanye West Teams With Angry Birds, Gives Us Plenty Of App Ideas

Image
In news that either signifies the first phase of the DONDA world-domination plan or is a complete fabrication (since it was first "reported" by England's the Sun ), Kanye West supposedly met with the developers of the ultra-addictive "Angry Birds" app earlier this month in London, where, according to a source, "they brainstormed ideas and talked about ways they could work together." Obviously, this development is huge for anyone who enjoys both avoiding human interaction in all forms and limited-edition scarves , and while we can't vouch for the validity of the story (a spokesperson for West could not be reached for comment), the possibilities of a team-up between the rapper and Rovio already have our brains swirling. When it comes to Kanye-centric apps, the sky truly is the limit. So, while we wait for any type of official confirmation on the collaboration our download fingers are already quivering with anticipation we've created a wish l...

Kanye West, P Diddy, will.i.am star in controversial Megaupload song

Fri, 20 Jan 2012 12:24p.m. By James Murray You may be wondering why Anonymous targeted Universal Music in their strike back against the US Justice Dept shutdown of Megaupload. The online activists brought down the site universalmusic.com this morning, after file sharing website Megaupload was shut down and its founder Kim Schmitz arrested in Auckland. Universal was targeted because they tried to get the website's theme song removed from YouTube earlier this month because it included contributions from artists they represent including Kanye West, P Diddy and will.i.am. The well-known rappers had voluntarily contributed to the video because Megaupload's CEO is Swizz Beatz, a hip hop artist married to Alicia Keys. Megaupload fired a lawsuit back at Universal for blocking distribution of their promotional video. We have never received any word that any artist has [individually] filed a take-down [we have] legally binding agreements with the performers that appear in the video The...

Kanye West's a bird brain

The rapper is now based in London and has been working on a fashion line as well as a new album with artists on his record label. Earlier this month he also had a meeting with the software team behind Angry Birds the addictive app that even David Cameron plays to pass the time. A source said: "Kanye met the Angry Birds creators at a late-night meeting in the capital. "It was his idea. They brainstormed ideas and talked about ways they could work together." Last year Angry Birds firm Rovio turned down a buyout offer said to be worth more than 1billion, so it's no surprise that Kanye wants to get involved. Now, according to his tweets, all he needs is "managers, doctors, scientists, teachers, car designers, lawyers and bankers". Good luck with that.

Amber Rose Doesn't 'Forgive' Kanye West

Kanye West admits his flaws well, in song at least: On his 2011 single "Runaway," the Louis Vuitton Don was apologetic about how he treated ex flame Amber Rose, owning up to his wrongs. He took things a step further during his Watch the Throne Tour with Jay-Z, giving the audience love advice while performing the song. During the November 2 stop, 'Ye sent a special shout to ex-girlfriend Amber Rose in the model's hometown. "To the city of Philly, I want to thank y'all for making the incredible person that this song was made for," he said while performing "Runaway" in Philadelphia. "At first, I was like, 'Wow, maybe he is sorry for just not being a good guy and not treating me the way I want to be treated and talking down to me,' amongst other things," Rose said on last week's "RapFix Live." "I instantly was like, 'I forgive him.' " To her, it all seemed very sincere. "When I first saw it...

Jay-Z and Kanye West Guard the Throne

Image
Jay-Z and Kanye West's Watch the Throne had the entirely unfortunate luck to come out at the worst possible moment to release an album with a faux-gold-leaf cover: four days after the U.S.'s credit rating was dropped from AAA to AA, in the midst of a moment that felt like any illusions of stability we'd built up over the past three years were being gleefully and systematically shattered by forces beyond our control. Not surprisingly, this anxiety pervaded early reviews, and the album got knocked for its rampant luxury talk of watches, cars, and clothing (which, like other rap albums, it did have a lot of), as well as the money pumped into its production and promotion (which, like other albums by major pop figures, it did have a lot of). The implicit subtext of all this criticism was that Jay and Kanye were being greedy, expending huge sums to prevent the album from leaking. During the recording sessions, the album's engineers employed a "nuclear football" sys...
