Leave a comment

When Beck beat out Beyoncé for Album of the Year at the 2015 Grammys, Kanye West almost interrupted him during his acceptance speech to defend her honor. After the award show, the Chicago native caught up with E! News to discuss his real feelings toward the situation, alluding that “Flawless” singer was robbed and stating that Beck “should have given his award to Beyoncé.”

It was later revealed that Kanye never listened to Beck’s Moon Phase album, but once he did he described it as “kind of good.” Yesterday, Feb. 26, Yeezy had a change of heart and decided to post a public apology to Beck on his Twitter.

Yeezy also used the outlet to apologize to Bruno Mars for calling him out at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards. He even went so far as to ask him to collaborate with him and Diddy on a song.

“Bruno Mars won all the motherf**king awards and s**t. — But what I care about is if you’re an artist and you work hard as f**k and the streets say that you deserve that s**t. Then can’t no motherf**king networks try to gas everybody up so they can sell some product with the prettiest motherf**ker out.”

Missy Elliot Is Back In The Studio With Pharrell

Leave a comment

Yesterday, Feb. 24, Missy Elliot posted a photo of her and fellow Virginia native, Pharrell, in the studio together on her Twitter. The two super producers turned artists are assumed to be recording together, according to her tweet.

Pharrell and Missy were last seen together at the 2014 BET Awards where they performed her hit single, “Pass That Dutch.” The last time these two hit the studio was in 2011, when they recorded “On and On.” Little details have been revealed about what song or songs they’ve been working on, but based on their individual skills, it’s bound to be magic.

Missy Elliot could possibly be on the verge of making a huge comeback. After reports began circulating about the 43-year-old rapper linking together with her longtime collaborator and friend, Timbaland, earlier this month, she’s been resurfacing in the news more and more. Performing her hit singles, “Get Ur Freak On,” “Work It,” and “Lose Control” alongside Katy Perry during Super Bowl XLIX’s halftime show, as well as, having those singles make their way back on iTunes Top 200 songs chart in the top 20, are just a few of her recent comeback moments.

In order to show his appreciation for two of the most important females in his life, Kanye West decided to get tatted up. Yesterday, Feb. 26, his wife Kim Kardashian West posted two photos of her hubby with his newest ink additions on her Instagram. His new tattoos represent special dates in his life.

Being the man that he is, Yeezy wouldn’t just get anything permanently put on his body unless it held symbolic meaning. The “Only One” rapper got the birthdates of his late mother Donda West and his daughter North tattooed on his wrists in roman numeral print.

According to a recent release from The Hollywood Reporter, r&b crooner Chris Brown was not allowed to cross the boarder into Canada by immigration officials on Tuesday, Feb. 24. His admission refusal into the country led Live Nation to cancel his sold-out shows in Toronto and Montreal. 

 “Unfortunately I will not be able to perform in front of sold out crowds in Montreal & Toronto. The good people of the Canadian government wouldn’t allow me entry. I’ll be back this summer and will hopefully see all my Canadian fans!” tweeted Brown to his fans, confirming the unfortunate news. The tweets were later deleted.

Brown was expected to perform with Trey Songz at the Bell Centre in Montreal on Tuesday night and the Air Canada Centre in Toronto on Wednesday night, for the Between the Sheets Tour. Little information has been revealed as to why the Virginia native was denied access to Canada, but refunds for the shows will be issued to the fans.

Rumors quickly began swirling around about Drake being the reason why Chris Brown was denied entry into Canada. Although Brown and the proud Toronto native allegedly ended their beef after the two were seen in the studio together last July and performing a hilarious skit for the 2014 ESPYS, things recently went left. During an interview with Power 105.1’s The Breakfast Club, Drake revealed he “doesn’t mess with dude.” Drake then fired back during a performance in Auckland where he switched the lyrics in his song “Energy” by saying, “I got R&B niggas that I gotta act like I like.”

Check out the hilarious memes about Drake denying Chris Brown access to Canada below:
