Kim Kardashian Disappointed for Kanye West

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Awards, Gossip, Hip-Hop & Rap, New Releases,

Kim Kardashian is dismayed that Kanye West's album has missed out on a top Grammy nomination.

The Keeping Up with the Kardashians star has expressed her disappointment that her fiance's latest record, Yeezus was recently snubbed from the prestigious Album of the Year category ahead of the awards ceremony in Los Angeles in February.

The 33-year-old star shared a message from one of her fans, @KimKanyeKimyeFC, on Twitter on Sunday that reads, "literally on EACH and EVERY single list Yeezus has been named the TOP 2 OR TOP 1 best album of the year.... [sic]." She also replied, "Except the Grammy's Album of the Year nomination," along with a sad emoticon face.

Earlier this month, Kanye, 36, lashed out at the organizers of the ceremony for not giving his album more recognition despite the fact he is in running for the Best Rap Album and Best Rap Song for "New Slaves." Speaking during one of his concerts, he ranted, "Yeezus is the top one or two album on every single list. But only gets two nominations from the Grammys. What are they trying to say?"

Katy Perry: My Duet Is More Authentic than Kanye’s

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Collaborations, Gossip, Music Videos, Alternative, Country, Folk, Hip-Hop & Rap, Pop,

Katy Perry thinks her music video with boyfriend John Mayer is more authentic than Kanye West's "Bound 2."

The "Roar" hitmaker, who joined forces with John on the song "Who You Love," made the comparison about Kanye's latest music video which features his fiancee Kim Kardashian straddling him topless on a motorcycle.

"I thought our response was a little bit more authentic because my hair was blowing in the right direction," the 29-year-old singer joked, speaking on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.

The song appears on John's latest album Paradise Valley and Katy thinks their relationship works so well because they have a mutual appreciation for music. "Yeah we have a lot of fun. You know, we have music as an understanding and love between each other and we connect and you know it's like he understands what I do because he does the same thing. And so after a long day, if it's been tough, I don't really have to go into it, he just gets it. You know, so it's nice with that understanding," she continued.

Kanye West to Feature Kim in “Bound 2” Video

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Artist News, Gossip, Music Videos, Rumors, Upcoming Releases, Hip-Hop & Rap,

Kanye West is tipped to feature Kim Kardashian in his new video.

The rapper will premiere new visuals for his latest single "Bound 2" on the Ellen DeGeneres Show and the show's website suggested his fiancee - with whom he has daughter North West - "may or may not" make an appearance when the video streams exclusively on Ellentv.com on Tuesday.

The love song features R&B singer Charlie Wilson and is the second track to be released from Kanye's Yeezus album, which debuted at No.1 on the US Billboard 200 in May. "Bound 2" received general acclaim from critics, with the track's soul sample-based production often being compared to Kanye's early work from his debut studio album The College Dropout in 2004.

The news comes after American singer Ronnie Spector recently described Kanye West as "a d**k," but admitted that she favored his fiancee, Kim. Ronnie - who previously fronted the girl-group The Ronettes - told Noisey.com, "I am not a fan of Kanye West. I don't mind Kim, but I just don't like that guy. I'm not a fan of how he speaks. He's a d**k. I'm sorry. I don't like him. I'm just being honest."

Kanye West has reportedly been paid around $3 million for a show in Kazakhstan.

The rapper was invited by President Nursultan Nazarbayev and performed at his grandson's wedding on Saturday night. According to gossip site TMZ, Kanye was given a huge payday - in the region of $3 million - for the concert, which featured big hits like "Can't Tell Me Nothing."

In the past, the star has shown his determination to use his wealth to fund the protection of his partner Kim Kardashian and their daughter North. It was previously revealed he had invested over $1.5 million on anti-kidnap cars to keep his family safe, and it is said caring for the pair is his main "priority." An insider said, "Kanye is fully aware that his new family is so high-profile they attract the attention of weirdos and psychopaths. He aims to leave nothing to chance. His priority is to get delivery of the vehicles, especially Kim's, before he begins his US tour in October."

Kanye West Raps About Kim’s Sex Tape

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Gossip, Leaks, Upcoming Releases, Hip-Hop & Rap,

Kanye West raps about Kim Kardashian's sex tape in his new song.

The "Stronger" rapper - who has been dating the reality TV star for around five months - appears to make reference to Kim's infamous 2007 tape in latest track "Clique." The song - which was leaked to gossip website TMZ.com and will be featured on his album Cruel Summer - includes the line, "Eat breakfast at Gucci. My girl a superstar all from a home movie."

The sex tape stars Kim and her Kardashian and ex-boyfriend Ray J, and after it was leaked online, the 31-year-old socialite became a huge star. While he is singing about the sex tape, it was recently claimed Kanye - who has known Kim for four years - had refused to watch it.

"For all his bad-boy image, he's quite old-fashioned and [while they were still just friends] he thought it inappropriate to view Kim's tape. Now that they are a couple, there's no way Kanye's ever going to look at it," a source said.

Kanye West has addressed Kim Kardashian and Amber Rose in a new track.

The rapper teamed with DJ Khaled for "Theraflu" in which he talks about Kim - whom he is rumored to have dated - and her ex-husband, basketball star Kris Humphries, who plays for the New Jersey Jets, part-owned by Kanye's friend and collaborator Jay-Z.

"I admit I fell in love with Kim / Around the same time she fell in love with him / Well that's cool baby girl / Do your thing / Lucky I ain't had Jay drop him from the team," he says in the second verse.

In another couplet he addresses his ex-girlfriend model Amber, who is now dating rapper Wiz Khalifa. "The whole industry wanna f**k ya old chick/ Only n***a I got respect for is Wiz," Kanye rhymes.

It is not clear if the song will be released as part of Kanye's forthcoming G.O.O.D. Music Compilation album, of tracks by artists from his label, or another project. Kanye is also preparing for another single release, of a track called "Mercy," tomorrow, which features him alongside Pusha T, Big Sean and 2 Chainz and is lined up with inclusion on the G.O.O.D. Music record.
