  • Ye claims ‘Jews’ controlling Kardashian clan: lawsuit

    Ye claims ‘Jews’ controlling Kardashian clan: lawsuit

    Kanye West frequently told employees that Jewish people were controlling the family of his ex-wife Kim Kardashian, according to a new lawsuit filed in California on Thursday.

    The musician and entrepreneur — now formally known as Ye — faces a litany of legal claims from former employees who accuse him of abusive and sometimes bizarre behavior.

    In the latest filing, Murphy Aficionado, who worked for Ye for nine months between 2022 and 2023, said life at his Yeezy brand and Donda Academy school was a “nightmare.”

    “During Aficionado’s employment, Ye’s anti-Semitic tirades and conspiracies were a daily occurrence,” the suit says.

    “Often, these outbursts involved how Jews controlled the Kardashians. Other times, Ye recounted how Jews were going after him and his money.”

    Ye, 47, was married to socialite and businesswoman Kim Kardashian for eight years.

    The couple, who have four children, divorced in 2022 in an increasingly acrimonious split, despite her earlier defending him and calling for understanding while he grappled with mental health issues.

    Ye has garnered a string of headlines over recent years for anti-Semitic outbursts, including once saying he saw “good things about Hitler” and writing on social media that he was “going death con 3 on JEWISH PEOPLE.”

    His pronouncements cost him a lucrative deal with Adidas.

    Thursday’s lawsuit claims Ye had no compunction about flaunting his sexual relationships in front of staff.

    “On one occasion, in between his racist lectures, Ye invited Aficionado to his hotel room to work,” the suit states.

    “In the suite, Aficionado waited miserably and uncomfortably while he unwillingly listened to Ye having sex with his then-girlfriend Bianca Censori in the adjoining room.

    “On another occasion, Ye subjected Aficionado to those same sexual proclivities, but this time with his masseuse –- leaving Aficionado feeling violated and dehumanized.”

    The suit seeks unspecified compensation for outstanding contractual payments, as well as emotional and psychological damage.

    Attorney William Reed, who is representing Aficionado, said the lawsuit was an effort “to force Ye to learn that this conduct has no place in our society.”

    The rapper’s “vitriol, hate, and anti-Semitism continues, as does his complete and utter disrespect for the women around him.”

    There was no immediate response from Ye’s representatives to an AFP request for comment.

    ‘It got my mind away from stuff’: Kim Kardashian regrets fast Pete Davidson relationship

    Kim Kardashian opened up about how she regretted jumping in to her relationship with Saturday Night Live (SNL) alum Pete Davidson after she divorced her husband Kanye West, saying that she should have healed and then moved on.

    Speaking on an episode of ‘Keeping Up With The Kardashians’, the reality TV star revealed that getting into a relationship with Pete helped distract her from the mess of her divorce.

    “I definitely jumped into another relationship so fast,” revealed the ‘Skims’ founder. “It got my mind away from, like, stuff, and that’s not a way to, like, run from things.”

    Speaking to her siblings Kendall and Kylie, Kim said that its better to “feel, deal, heal”.

    Kim and Pete had a whirlwind nine month romance, after Kim starred in an SNL episode in 2021 where she and Pete kissed. The two made it official when they walked the Met Gala together. Pete later got four tattoos dedicated to Kim.

  • Kanye West marries Yeezy designer Bianca Censori

    American rapper and the force behind fashion brand Yeezy, Kanye West has reportedly married architect Bianca Censori. According to TMZ, West and his new bride have tied the knot in a private ceremony in Beverly Hills, and were spotted wearing wedding bands while eating together.

    Censori is working as an artichetural designer for West’s fashion line ‘Yeezy’. She graduated with a Bachelors in Architecture from the University of Melbourne in 2017, and later completed her Masters in 2020. Before working with Kanye, she had launched her own jewlery company, Nylons right after graduating high school.
    Kanye West had been previously married to reality television star Kim Kardashian, with whom he has four children. The pair had finalized their divorce in November 2022.

    American rapper Kanye West has been ordered to pay his former wife Kim Kardashian $200,000 (PKR 4.5 crore) per month in child support in a divorce settlement.

    The former rapper and reality TV star will share joint custody of their four children.

    Kanye West admits Kim Kardashian has kids '80 percent' of the time

    Kardashian filed for divorce in 2021, after eight years with West, who has legally changed his name to Ye.

    It comes after several companies cut ties with Ye over controversies including antisemitic comments.

    Both parties were declared legally single in March, with Kardashian also dropping “West” from her last name.

    Issues around the division of property and custody of their children were resolved in court documents filed on Tuesday.

    The two parties should consult with each other on major decisions about their children’s welfare, the documents state.

    Expenses for the children’s security, school, and college will be shared.

    In addition, Ye is expected to pay $200,000 a month in child support – which the New York Post reported is because the children will spend the majority of their time with Kardashian.

    The couple has four children: North, 9, Saint, 6, Chicago, 4, and Psalm, 3.

    In several statements submitted earlier, Kardashian, 42, had said she “very much” wanted the marriage to be ended, adding that this would “help Kanye to accept” that the relationship was over.

    Ye, 45, had previously fought against the separation.

    He has faced controversy in recent months and has been dropped by several brands, including Adidas, Gap, and Balenciaga.

    The rapper provoked widespread criticism earlier this year after attending Paris Fashion Week wearing a t-shirt bearing a “White Lives Matter” slogan – a phrase often used by white supremacists.

    He then claimed his critics were being paid by a secret cabal of Jewish people, a common trope of antisemitism.

    Earlier this week, Ye announced his intention to run for US president in 2024.

    He previously ran in 2020 but gained just 70,000 votes.

    The two married in a lavish wedding in Italy in the year 2014.

    West has reportedly been living at their home in Wyoming, while Kardashian has stayed in California with their children.

    The couple met in the early 2000s, but it would be years before they became romantically involved.

    West interviewed his wife for Vogue Arabia and asked her about the first time they met.

    “This was before you released your first album and you were known as a music producer. I was really shy. You thought I was (singer) Brandy’s assistant, which I wasn’t,” Kardashian West recalled. “Ever since you said that, it’s everywhere … like ‘Kim is Brandy’s assistant.’ I was her friend and stylist. I thought you were attractive, nice, very charming, really funny, powerful — I was in awe of you, but I was really shy, quiet, and a little nervous, to be honest.”

    Both had high-profile relationships before they went public with their love in 2012.

    West famously proposed to Kardashian by renting out a sports stadium and hiring an orchestra, as her family watched from nearby — all of which was documented and shared on the family’s popular E! reality series Keeping Up With the Kardashians.

    The couple have four children together. Daughter North was born in 2013, followed by a son, Saint, in 2015, daughter, Chicago, in 2018, and son, Psalm, in 2019.

    “Gratitude and happiness best describe what my wife means to me,” he wrote. “I’m deeply grateful and purely happy.”

    Kardashian, for her part, has also often spoke out in defense of her husband, who has been open about his struggles with bipolar disorder and stirred controversy with his provocative tweets and political views.

    Last summer, Kim sought understanding from the public in a social media post.

    “I understand Kanye is subject to criticism because he is a public figure and his actions at times can cause strong opinions and emotions,” she wrote in a statement shared on social media.

    “He is a brilliant but complicated person who on top of the pressures of being an artist and a black man, who experienced the painful loss of his mother, and has to deal with the pressure and isolation that is heightened by his bi-polar disorder. Those who are close with Kanye know his heart and understand his words some times do not align with his intentions.”

    Earlier, the couple wanted to keep their split under the radar and were in settlement talks but now they are done.

    A-lister celebrities from the American entertainment and sports industry are included in a list of about 2,000 Los Angeles residents accused of using excessive amounts of water amid the ongoing drought.

    According to documents obtained by the Los Angeles Times from the Las Virgenes Municipal Water District, several celebrities were issued “notices of exceedance” stating that they had surpassed 150 percent of their monthly water budget at least four times since the district issued new rules to combat the drought at the end of last year.

    The excessive water usage notices were sent out in May and June, and according to the Times, among those recipients were Kim and Kourtney Kardashian, Kevin Hart, Sylvester Stallone, and former NBA star Dwyane Wade.

    Kim was also recently under fire after making number 7 on a list of celebrities that were ranked as the “biggest offenders” of private jet emissions. While occasionally sharing her views on climate change, the report stated that her jet expelled 4268.5 tonnes of carbon emissions over 57 flights so far this year.

    Nearly 97 percent of Los Angeles is in a state of “severe drought” according to Drought.gov. This year has been deemed the fourth driest year in the last 128 years—with the first four months being the driest ever recorded, the Weather Channel reported in May.

  • Why did Kim Kardashian split with Pete Davidson?

    Why did Kim Kardashian split with Pete Davidson?

    American magazine Page 6 has exclusively revealed that reality television star and entrepreneur Kim Kardashian and comedian Pete Davidson’s age difference caused them to split earlier this month.

    “Pete is 28 and Kim is 41 — they are just in very different places at the moment,” the insider says.

    “Pete is totally spontaneous and impulsive and wants her to fly to New York, or wherever he is on a moment’s notice,” the source adds. “But Kim has four kids and it isn’t that easy. She needs to focus on the kids.”

    The source also tells us that Kardashian — who runs multiple businesses and stars on a reality show — was “totally exhausted by this relationship and other things going on in her life.”

    The “Kardashians” star has recently had a tumultuous relationship with ex Kanye West, which caused strife while she was dating the “SNL” alum.

    Why Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson broke up

    The insider explained, “When Kim is with someone else, Kanye can cause problems with the kids. He tries to divide and conquer. He can’t help it.

    “Kim is a really dedicated mother, and her kids will always come first. She wants and needs harmony at home and in her life.”

    Earlier this year, a fan embarrassed the reality television star while she was heading out from her movie date with Davidson, whom she started dating in November 2021 after filing for divorce from rapper Kanye West.

    As Kim and Pete enjoyed a movie date over the weekend, video footage surfaced online showing a fan approaching Kim and directly telling her, “Yo Kim, Kanye’s way better, I’m not even going to hold you.”

    As shown in the short clip, Kim appeared to ignore the fan and instead walked straight past, remaining silent.

    When Kim Kardashian revealed that she hates ‘Indian cuisine’

    Reality TV star Kim Kardashian once slammed Indian cuisine in an episode of her reality show, Keeping Up With The Kardashians. This lead to an uproar on social media by her Indian fans.

    She later issued an apology on her social media accounts.

    “In no way was my comment intended as an insult to the Indian people or their culture. This is just my own personal taste,” she wrote.

    “There are a lot of foods I don’t like . . . I hate cilantro and peppers, and there are definitely some Armenian foods that I personally find disgusting, but that doesn’t reflect my opinions on other Armenian people or my culture.”

    “My comment wasn’t intended to offend anybody. We all have our own opinions and tastes and I was simply expressing mine,” she added.

    Recently Kim was trolled for her reply to what extent she would go for maintaining youthful skin.

    In an interview with New York Times, while launching her beauty range SKNN by KIM, the KUWTK star said, “If you told me that I literally had to eat poop every single day and I would look younger, I might. I just might.” The comment did not sit well with social media users.

    There is no scientific evidence that suggest eating poop helps with the ageing process.

    In that same interview, Kim also addressed the backlash surrounding her comments about losing weight for the Met Gala. Many thought it was irresponsible of her to share that she had lost weight for a specific event when she has an impressionable audience.

    However, Kim defended her weight loss and said it was no different to how actors shift pounds or gain weight for their roles.

    Kim Kardashian says she&squot;d

    “I didn’t do anything unhealthy. To me, it was like, ‘OK, Christian Bale can do it for a movie role and that is acceptable.’ Even Renée Zellweger gained weight for a role. It’s all the same to me. I wasn’t saying, ‘Hey everyone, why don’t you go lose this weight in a short period of time?’”

    Elon Musk offers $43 billion to acquire Twitter

    Elon Musk has submitted a takeover bid for Twitter, offering $54.20 per share, days after becoming the group’s largest shareholder. This is an offer worth more than $43 billion.

    According to a Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filing, Mr. Musk described this as a “best and last offer,” reflecting a 54 per cent premium over the day before he commenced investing in the business in late January 2022.

    Musk stated in the filing that “I don’t have faith in the management” and that he could not make the adjustments he desired in the public market.

    As per a letter written to CEO Salesforce and chairman of Twitter, Bret Taylor, Musk stated that if the proposal is not accepted, he will reassess his status as a shareholder as Twitter has a lot of potential which needs to be unlocked.

    The billionaire CEO of Tesla and SpaceX and the world’s richest man, purchased a 9.2 per cent share in Twitter on April 4, according to a regulatory filing. The tech mogul was invited to join Twitter’s board of directors the next day, but he denied the offer by the end of the week.

    Musk wrote to Mr. Taylor on April 13: “I invested in Twitter because I believe it has the potential to be the global platform for free speech, and I believe free speech is a societal requirement for a healthy democracy”.

    “However, after making my investment, I’ve come to recognize that the company, in its current form, can neither thrive nor serve this societal need,” he wrote. “Twitter should be turned into a private firm”.

    Considering the tweeted document, Musk’s financial adviser for the proposal is Morgan Stanley.

    ‘Lost 15 pounds in a month’: Julia Fox opens up on stressful fling and break-up with Kanye West

    American actor and model Julia Fox has opened up on pressure and stress she had while dating rapper Kanye West. The two had a brief fling of a month and a half, and broke up on the Valentines day this year.

    After separating from former wife Kim Kardashian, Kanye in late 2021 found love in Julia Fox but they broke up within two months of seeing each other.

    Julia Fox, who is now away from the whole row, opens up on how pressuring it was to date Kanye West and how she lost 15 Pounds during it. Her comments are contradictory to the times when she called dating Ye the best thing to have happened to her. Read on to know everything you should know about the same.

    As per New York Times, Julia Fox who rose to global fame after she started seeing Kanye West says she tried to make things work but it wasn’t sustainable. “I tried my best to make it work,” she said. “I already had a jam-packed life. How do I fit this really big personality into this already full life? It just wasn’t sustainable. I lost like 15 pounds in that month.”

    When asked if they were exclusive as a couple, Fox said “I don’t think so.” Adding if the relationship was fake or for publicity, she said, “I mean, there were definitely elements of it that were real.”

    Julia Fox opened up if Kanye West and her were really boyfriend and girlfriend. Fox said, “I don’t think those words ever came out of my mouth, actually. It definitely felt like I was his girlfriend. But it also felt like I was being cast in the role of his girlfriend — and he was casting me. He was the orchestrator of it all. It really did feel like a movie.”

  • Kanye West opens up on ‘harassing’ Kim Kardashian amidst break-up with Julia Fox, leaks private chats

    Kanye West opens up on ‘harassing’ Kim Kardashian amidst break-up with Julia Fox, leaks private chats

    Rapper Kanye West has revealed a few modifications that will appear in his Instagram postings in the future. He has discovered that using all capitalised characters, as he’s been doing, gives the impression that he’s yelling.

    He also admitted that sharing screen grabs might be disconcerting for people affected.

    On Tuesday, the 44-year-old apologised in a fresh Instagram post. The Grammy-winning rapper had spent the previous few days ranting about Pete Davidson despite his growing affair with Kim Kardashian, including forbidding the Saturday Night Live comic from visiting his children and labeling him a “d***head.” Today, Kanye erased all pictures from his Instagram account and posted a fresh post with a change of heart, seemingly realising the consequences of his actions.

    “I’ve learned that using all caps makes people feel like I’m screaming at them,” he penned. He further wrote, “I’m working on my communication. I can benefit from a team of creative professionals, organizers, mobilizers and community leaders. Thank everybody for supporting me.” He continued: “I know sharing screen shots was jarring and came off as harassing Kim. I take accountability.” Kanye’s statement comes amid claims that Kim contacted him about his rants potentially placing Pete in “danger.” The rapper shared screenshots allegedly from ‘Kim’s other phone,’ in which the reality star stated that Kanye was ‘creating a dangerous and scary environment and someone will hurt Pete and this will be all your fault,’ as per The Sun.

    Kanye has erased all but two of his Instagram postings since then: a montage of heartwarming photographs of Kim and their four children from Kim’s recent Vogue shoot, and the cover of his next album Donda 2.

    Meanwhile Kanye has called it quits with actress Julia Fox on Monday, after a whirlwind six-week romance and  also spent time with his children North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm at Sunday Service and the Super Bowl.

    Kim filed for divorce from Ye a year ago citing “irreconcilable differences.” The pair who share four children: North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm remained fairly amicable as co-parents in the initial wake of the split. Months down the line, however, Ye began making a bunch of grand declarations in a bid to reconcile his and Kim’s relationship, which included asking her to “run right back” to him onstage at a concert in December.

    Following his unsuccessful attempts to win her back, Ye has recently called Kim out with a series of public statements which started around the time she was first linked to Saturday Night Live’s Pete Davidson in late October. In fact, Ye first expressed his disapproval of Kim’s new relationship in an appearance on the Drink Champs podcast in November, where he continually insisted that she’s “still [his] wife” and claimed he’d “never even seen” any of their divorce papers.

    Ye publicly dissed Pete by name for the first time that same month. In his song “Eazy,” Ye raps: “God saved me from this crash / Just so I could beat Pete Davidson’s ass.” He seemingly went on to suggest that Pete should “thank” him for letting him “have” Kim in a song released just last week, titled “City of Gods.”

    Things only got messier after Ye publicly shared a message he’d received from Pete. “[That’s] a promise. How you guys [go about] raising your kids is [your business] and not mine,” the message continues.

    “I do [hope one] day I can meet them and [we can] all be friends,” it finishes. Ye, shared a photo of Pete and Machine Gun Kelly in Calvin Klein underwear from a memorable Instagram livestream in December — wrote in the caption: “NO YOU WILL NEVER MEET MY CHILDREN.”

    Ye then shared a handful of other posts aimed at Pete, calling him “garbage” and “trash.” He even rehashed a false rumor that Pete once sent late rapper Mac Miller intimate photos of himself and Ariana Grande, in a bid to prevent them from getting back together.
