Kim Kardashian Reportedly Declined To Accompany Kanye West To Trump Tower

Kanye West met with president-elect Trump yesterday, a couple of weeks after he got out of the hospital following a reported mental breakdown. Kanye had spoken on his support of Trump during a "Saint Pablo" show shortly before his hospitalization, and some took the endorsement to be a sign of his unraveling mental state. After their meeting, Kanye went on Twitter for the first time in nearly two months to explain that he had talked to Trump about "multicultural issues" and stopping violence in Chicago, among other things. He was accompanied to the meeting by Corey Gamble, the 35-year-old boyfriend of Kris Jenner.

Gamble's presence at Trump Tower was requested by Jenner and Kim Kardashian, reports Hollywood Life. The ladies wanted Gamble to keep an eye on Kanye and to report back to them on everything that went down at his meeting with the soon-to-be president. Kim was apparently invited to the meeting as well, says an inside source, but she declined for "several reasons" -- "mostly because she is not a supporter of Trump." 

Going off Kanye's latest tweets, it seems the meeting went smoothly and that there was some constructive dialogue between the two egomaniacs. Many were left confused by Kanye's last tweet, however, which was simply the hashtag "2024." Up until now, Kanye had intended to make a run for the White House in 2020. Perhaps Trump convinced him to wait one more term? 

Yasiin Bey & Ferrari Sheppard Fans Get Cryptic Message Rather Than Expected Album

Yasiin Bey (the rapper formerly known as Mos Def) and producer Ferrari Sheppard were preparing to release their collaborative album, Dec. 99th last Friday (December 9), but days later the project is nowhere to be found.

After a few days of silence on social media from both artists, Sheppard gave an update to the release of the LP on his Facebook page Sunday (December 11) that said the following:

“Yes, the album is coming out. Delay not my fault…”

Bey and Sheppard’s media group, A Country Called Earth, also sent this cryptic message to Pitchfork:

“Dark bodies, bright crest, the kings grew nervous.
A boy drew a gun, and then sold the portrait. And then used the cash to heat the stove at the palace.
soon. very soon.”

Whatever that means…

Dec. 99th was meant to be a TIDAL exclusive as Bey prepares two more albums and is supposedly retiring after that.

Rick Ross Claims Kanye West's Hospitalization Was All A Sham

New York, NY – Kanye West had the world on its knees when he was reportedly hospitalized for exhaustion and paranoia last month.

Not everyone believes Yeezy’s story as Rick Ross spoke to a crowd at A$AP Ferg’s Traplord pop-up shop in New York yesterday (December 11), hinting that West was just fine the whole time.

“One time for Yeezy,” the boss says to an applause from the crowd. “My homie a genius. And for everybody who thought he was weirding out, he played y’all niggas.”

Kanye’s righthand man, Mike Dean, was also in attendance, so the words seem to be said all in good fun. They even vibed to “Devil in a New Dress,” the My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy cut that features Rozay and was produced by Dean.

West canceled the remainder of his Saint Pablo Tour in November after making headlines for a series of rants about Donald Trump and Jay Z. He was also balancing his fashion endeavors and family life at the time of his reported mental breakdown.

He is now reportedly on the mend and is already back to making music.

Did Nicki Minaj & Meek Mill Break Up?

It might be over between Nicki Minaj and Meek Mill.

Nicki hinted that she their relationship ended in a cryptic Instagram post over the weekend: a picture of a pair of Chanel slides, with the caption, “Thank God u blew it. Thank God I dodged the bullet. I’m so over u. Baby good lookin out. #BestThingUNeverHad."

The caption references Beyonce's "Best Thing I Never Had," a song about the end of a toxic relationship and seems to imply strife in Nicki and Meek's relationship, if not its end. Minaj's post came a day after Meek Mill deleted his Instagram and she posted a meme reading "Your value doesn't decrease based on someone's inability to see your worth."

The couple has been officially dating since February 2015. See Nicki's post below.

Thank God u blew it. Thank God I dodged the bullet. I'm so over u. Baby good lookin out. #BestThingUNeverHad thank u for this epic gift @sincerearmani

Drake Acts As Security Guard For Jennifer Lopez's Iced-Out Yankees Fitted

Las Vegas, NV – Drake and Jennifer Lopez were all smiles in a face-to-face selfie after the Canadian superstar took in the veteran singer and actress during her Las Vegas performance on Saturday (December 10). J-Lo also posted the same photo to her Instagram page, and she entrusted Drake to the all-important detail of safeguarding her diamond-encrusted baseball cap.

Lopez has been rocking the stage in Vegas since the top of the year during her All I Have residency, and Drizzy was there to support his friend. While there isn’t much in the way of details available online about last night’s showing, the series has been critcally accalimed and has been selling well after becoming the highest grossing event at the Planet Hollywood venue.

But it was the photos that might have people whispering. Drake’s photo was captioned with a heart-eyed emoji followed by “Lotta those” while Lopez captioned hers with “Look who rolled up to my show tonight to say hi!! ” with the hashtag “LoveHim” to boot. This meeting of an iconic singer and actress appears to have gone a lot better than his encounter with Madonna in 2015.

And if there’s any remaining doubt about Lopez’s roots, the hat that Drake held for her was a New York Yankees fitted, of course.

Check out the images below.

Sure I'll hold your diamond encrusted fitted while you catch this Vegas body #Jenny 🌺
