After months in the making Cardi B finally shared the music video for her new single “Hot S—t” with the world—and it was worth waiting for. The futuristic visual looks straight out of a sci-fi movie and it sees her join forces with Kanye West and Lil Durk.

The video opens with Cardi dancing on the top of a skyscraper in an extravagant latex outfit and we get to see her stroll up and down tall buildings as the video progresses. Lil Durk and masked Kayne West also make an appearance, surrounded by equally show-stopping landscapes.

“Hot S—t” will be featured on Cardi B’s upcoming second studio album. She released it on July 1, but it took a little longer for the music video to see the light of day.

Cardi B was very open about her struggles filming the video for “Hot S—t”. She told Zane Lowe that this video brought her “so much drama” because it was her first time trying CGI.

“It was something very different for me. I couldn’t maneuver or move how I wanted to, because I was very confused. After I finished the video, I find out that this s—t takes so long. I did this video around March, and it’s still not even ready yet,” explained Cardi B.

After a lot of anticipation, Cardi B finally shared her first solo single of the year with the world – and it was worth waiting for! Her new song “Hot Sh-t” sees her joining forces with the fellow rappers Kanye West and Lil Durk.

This song has been in the making since 2019, but it took a while before it saw the light of day. Cardi B filmed the music video all the way back in March and wanted to release it ever since, but had to wait because CGI was taking too long.

The Grammy-winning rapper eventually decided that enough is enough, and simply shared the audio with the world. West’s involvement is one of the most exciting things about this song, and Cardi B said that she was “so happy” that he gave her his verse.

“Kanye gave me this verse a couple of months ago when he was just all over the media, because of all of the things that were going on. I like how his verse, it’s personal, but it’s not that personal,” she told Zane Lowe.

“Hot Sh-t” will be featured on Cardi B’s sophomore studio album, the follow-up to her 2018 record Invasion of Privacy. It was preceded by hit singles “WAP” featuring Megan Thee Stallion and “Up”, both of which topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Introducing the artist formerly known as Kanye West. 

You know you’ve made it big when you can get by on your first name alone. Just look at Madonna, Cher, and Oprah.

Well, the “Hurricane” rapper has now joined those ranks.

After going by the nickname “Ye” for years, a judge has now granted a request for Kanye to officially change his name to the singular syllable moniker, forgoing his middle and last name. 

The Grammy winner first announced that he wanted to change his name three years ago, citing personal reasons. He has used the abbreviated version of Kanye as his name on social media since, and Ye is also the title of his eighth studio album which dropped in 2018.

“I believe ‘ye’ is the most commonly used word in the Bible, and in the Bible it means ‘you,’” the artist said during an interview with Big Boy in June that year.

More power to ye!

We can count on Kanye West to hit no. 1 with each new album he shares with the world, and his latest record was no exception. The hip-hop icon managed to create so much buzz with Donda that it easily debuted atop the Billboard 200 chart with the largest week of 2021 so far.

Donda reached the top spot with 309,000 equivalent album units earned in the U.S. during its first week on the chart, consisting of 272,000 streaming-equivalent album units and 37,000 pure album sales. By doing so, West’s latest album suppressed the previous 2021 record held by Olivia Rodrigo’s Sour with 295,000 units during its debut week.

To make the whole thing even better, Donda is West’s tenth no. 1 studio album on the Billboard 200, and he’s only one of seven artists to achieve this milestone. The list also includes The Beatles (19), Jay-Z (14), Bruce Springsteen (11), Barbra Streisand (11), Eminem (10), and Elvis Presley (10). Drake will most likely join them soon with Certified Lover Boy.

Donda hit the shelves on August 29th and had one of the biggest debuts on Spotify and Apple Music. It includes collaborations with several A-list artists, such as Lil Baby, The Weeknd, Jay-Z, and Travis Scott.

Kanye West’s long-awaited new album Donda was just released on Sunday and it’s already breaking records.

Donda reached No. 1 on Apple Music’s Top Album chart in 152 countries in just 24 hours. Additionally, 19 songs from the top 20 on Apple Music’s Daily Top 100 Global songs charts are from the album. West and Donda broke the 2021 record for being the most-streamed artist and album in one day and the album became the third most-played album on its first day of release on Apple Music.

Donda even broke the record for the most-streamed album in a day so far in 2021, taking the spot from Olivia Rodrigo.

After the album was released Sunday, West claimed on social media that Universal released the 27-song album without his approval.

“Universal put my album out without my approval,” he posted on Instagram and added that the company “blocked” “Jail, Pt. 2”, the collaborative track that features DaBaby and Marilyn Manson.

Kanye West once again broke the internet with his latest album Donda, which features a long list of collaborators—but Ariana Grande isn’t one of them. The “Thank U, Next” singer recently denied involvement in this album after rumors that she was featured on the titular track.

Grande’s fans assumed that she sang background vocals on “Donda” because they sounded eerily similar to her voice, but there’s no truth to these rumors. The Grammy-winning singer set the record straight in her Instagram stories and gave credit to the singer who was actually featured on this track.

The artist in question is called Stalone, and Grande praised her vocal abilities by writing “you sound so beautiful”, followed by three heart emojis. Stalone said she’s humbled, excited, and grateful to have her vocals compared to Grande’s, because she’s a huge fan of the singer.

“Donda” is one of the songs featured on Kanye West’s 10th studio album, which hit the shelves on August 29th. It features collaborations with several A-list artists, including The Weeknd and Lil Baby (“Hurricane”), Travis Scott (“Praise God”), and Roddy Ricch (“Pure Souls”).

Kanye West has finally released his much anticipated Donda album. Donda hit streaming services on Sunday morning after numerous delays. 

The album, named after the musician’s late mother, is West’s 10th studio album, following the evangelical Jesus Is King, which was released in 2019.

According to Kim Kardashian, Donda‘s released version is dramatically different following three listening events as well as at a “performance art” wedding. Originally scheduled for release on July 22, the album now features 27 tracks and contributions from Jay-Z, The Weeknd, Young Thug, Jay Electronica, The Lox, Travis Scott, and others. 

But that’s now all. 

Following the release of Donda on Spotify, West took to social media, claiming his Universal Music record label released the album without his approval. “Universal put my album out without my approval and they blocked “Jail 2” from being on the album,” he wrote. According to Variety, while reps for Universal had no official comment on the allegation, sources at the company called it “preposterous.”

What does the future hold for this official released version of West’s newest album? We don’t know, but if 2016’s Life of Pablo is any indication, fans should expect remixes and re-records for weeks to come.

Here the album below:

Kanye West has been using “Ye” as his stage name for a while now. But this could soon become the “Good Morning” rapper’s legal name as well if he gets the green light from the Los Angeles Superior Court.

According to The Associated Press, West filed an official request to a California court in which he stated that he wants to change his name from Kanye Omari West to Ye. The 44-year-old cited “personal reasons” when explaining why he wants to make the change. His case will be reviewed by a judge, who will then decide whether to approve or deny the request.

West has been using the moniker since the early 2010s, making it a big part of his brand. The name served as a title for his eighth studio album while also being prominently displayed on his social media pages. He went one step further in 2018, referring to himself as “the being formally known as Kanye West ” and writing: “I am YE.”

That same year, West partially explained his fascination with the name during an interview with American radio host Big Boy.

“I believe ‘ye’ is the most commonly used word in the Bible, and in the Bible it means ‘you,'” said West. “So I’m you, I’m us, it’s us. It went from Kanye, which means the only one, to just Ye – just being a reflection of our good, our bad, our confused, everything.”

Besides the name change, Kanye West is currently also busy working on his highly-anticipated 10th studio album Donda. The record was initially set for release in the summer of 2020 but has since been delayed several times. It is currently expected to come out on August 27th.

After much speculation and a Twitter frenzy, Kanye West has confirmed his new album Donda drops on Friday.

The news was announced during Game 6 of the NBA Finals within a Beats by Dre ad featuring Sha’Carri Richardson. In the commercial, the track “No Child Left Behind” is previewed as Richardson runs a 100-meter sprint in slow motion, wearing Beats by Dre earbuds. West can be heard singing repeatedly, “He’s done miracles on me.”

It was also announced that the rapper’s listening event in Atlanta on Thursday will be live-streamed globally via Apple Music.

News of the upcoming album comes after West revealed the listening event Monday after Twitter started buzzing Sunday night about another listening session the rapper had in Las Vegas.

West marked the ad by posting it on his Instagram with a set of photos showing his face covered, wearing gold chains around his neck with his kid’s names on them.

Donda is named after West’s late mother and it follows his 2019 Grammy-winning gospel record Jesus Is King. This will be his 10th studio album.

Kanye West is no stranger to surprise releases, and he just gave us another one on Christmas Day. The rapper celebrated the big holiday by releasing a five-track EP titled Emmanuel, which he described as a record of “ancient and Latin inspired new music.”

Emmanuel translates to “God is with us” and it included a total of five songs: “Requiem Aeternam”, “O Mira Nox”, “O Magnum Mysterium”, “Puer” and “Gloria”.

Like his previous Christian-themed records, this EP is performed by the Sunday Service Choir, which West started back in 2019. They mostly held private semi-regular Sunday performances, before their first public show at Coachella in 2019.

Emmanuel isn’t West’s first album recorded with Sunday Service Choir that hit the shelves on Christmas. Back in 2019, they surprised the world with the release of their debut studio album Jesus Is Born. It was the follow-up to West’s solo album Jesus Is King which debuted atop the Billboard 200 chart and went on to receive a Grammy nomination for the best contemporary Christian music album.

We can count on Kanye West to hit no. 1 with each new album he shares with the world, and his latest record was no exception. The hip-hop icon managed to create so much buzz with Donda that it easily debuted atop the Billboard 200 chart with the largest week of 2021 so far.

Donda reached the top spot with 309,000 equivalent album units earned in the U.S. during its first week on the chart, consisting of 272,000 streaming-equivalent album units and 37,000 pure album sales. By doing so, West’s latest album suppressed the previous 2021 record held by Olivia Rodrigo’s Sour with 295,000 units during its debut week.

To make the whole thing even better, Donda is West’s tenth no. 1 studio album on the Billboard 200, and he’s only one of seven artists to achieve this milestone. The list also includes The Beatles (19), Jay-Z (14), Bruce Springsteen (11), Barbra Streisand (11), Eminem (10), and Elvis Presley (10).

Kanye West has finally released his much anticipated Donda album. Donda hit streaming services on Sunday morning after numerous delays. 

The album, named after the musician’s late mother, is West’s 10th studio album, following the evangelical Jesus Is King, which was released in 2019.

According to Kim Kardashian, Donda‘s released version is dramatically different following three listening events as well as at a “performance art” wedding. Originally scheduled for release on July 22, the album now features 27 tracks and contributions from Jay-Z, The Weeknd, Young Thug, Jay Electronica, The Lox, Travis Scott, and others. 

But that’s now all. 

Following the release of Donda on Spotify, West took to social media, claiming his Universal Music record label released the album without his approval. “Universal put my album out without my approval and they blocked “Jail 2” from being on the album,” he wrote. According to Variety, while reps for Universal had no official comment on the allegation, sources at the company called it “preposterous.”

What does the future hold for this official released version of West’s newest album? We don’t know, but if 2016’s Life of Pablo is any indication, fans should expect remixes and re-records for weeks to come.

Here the album below:

Kanye West has been using “Ye” as his stage name for a while now. But this could soon become the “Good Morning” rapper’s legal name as well if he gets the green light from the Los Angeles Superior Court.

According to The Associated Press, West filed an official request to a California court in which he stated that he wants to change his name from Kanye Omari West to Ye. The 44-year-old cited “personal reasons” when explaining why he wants to make the change. His case will be reviewed by a judge, who will then decide whether to approve or deny the request.

West has been using the moniker since the early 2010s, making it a big part of his brand. The name served as a title for his eighth studio album while also being prominently displayed on his social media pages. He went one step further in 2018, referring to himself as “the being formally known as Kanye West ” and writing: “I am YE.”

That same year, West partially explained his fascination with the name during an interview with American radio host Big Boy.

“I believe ‘ye’ is the most commonly used word in the Bible, and in the Bible it means ‘you,'” said West. “So I’m you, I’m us, it’s us. It went from Kanye, which means the only one, to just Ye – just being a reflection of our good, our bad, our confused, everything.”

Besides the name change, Kanye West is currently also busy working on his highly-anticipated 10th studio album Donda. The record was initially set for release in the summer of 2020 but has since been delayed several times. It is currently expected to come out on August 27th.

After much speculation and a Twitter frenzy, Kanye West has confirmed his new album Donda drops on Friday.

The news was announced during Game 6 of the NBA Finals within a Beats by Dre ad featuring Sha’Carri Richardson. In the commercial, the track “No Child Left Behind” is previewed as Richardson runs a 100-meter sprint in slow motion, wearing Beats by Dre earbuds. West can be heard singing repeatedly, “He’s done miracles on me.”

It was also announced that the rapper’s listening event in Atlanta on Thursday will be live-streamed globally via Apple Music.

News of the upcoming album comes after West revealed the listening event Monday after Twitter started buzzing Sunday night about another listening session the rapper had in Las Vegas.

West marked the ad by posting it on his Instagram with a set of photos showing his face covered, wearing gold chains around his neck with his kid’s names on them.

Donda is named after West’s late mother and it follows his 2019 Grammy-winning gospel record Jesus Is King. This will be his 10th studio album.

Check out the Beats by Dre ad below.

Kanye West is no stranger to surprise releases, and he just gave us another one on Christmas Day. The rapper celebrated the big holiday by releasing a five-track EP titled Emmanuel, which he described as a record of “ancient and Latin inspired new music.”

Emmanuel translates to “God is with us” and it included a total of five songs: “Requiem Aeternam”, “O Mira Nox”, “O Magnum Mysterium”, “Puer” and “Gloria”.

Like his previous Christian-themed records, this EP is performed by the Sunday Service Choir, which West started back in 2019. They mostly held private semi-regular Sunday performances, before their first public show at Coachella in 2019.

Emmanuel isn’t West’s first album recorded with Sunday Service Choir that hit the shelves on Christmas. Back in 2019, they surprised the world with the release of their debut studio album Jesus Is Born. It was the follow-up to West’s solo album Jesus Is King which debuted atop the Billboard 200 chart and went on to receive a Grammy nomination for the best contemporary Christian music album.
