IS KANYE WEST FAKING HIS ALLIANCE WITH DONALD TRUMP? – (06/09/2020)
There’s a rumor going around that Kanye West is faking his alliance with Donald Trump to make progress for black people. According to The Jasmine Brand, Ye is being accused of “wearing his MAGA (Make America Great Again) hats so that he could get people out of jail.”
Reports also allege that rapper GLC revealed that “Kanye actually gave me the boxes of hats. He said, ‘I’m never wearing these again.’”
GLC said that Kanye added, “I’m just telling you that we got that amazing woman out of jail in Florida, right? We didn’t get to have that meeting until I put the hat on.”
JOE EXOTIC PENS CHILLING MISSIVE, CALLS ON TRUMP, CARDI B, KIM KARDASHIAN FOR HELP – (06/09/2020)
Tiger King’s star Joe Exotic has sent a chilling letter from prison that appears to be a suicidal cry for help, TMZ reports. The letter is addressed to “supporters, fans, loved ones” and opens by asking President Donald Trump to grant him his freedom.
The tone gets dark from there, and he says, “my soul is dead” as he describes his struggle to keep up his hope behind bars. He says he is tormented by reports that his husband Dillon Passage is moving on without him, and adds that he hasn’t heard from Passage.
Exotic says that he needs medication for his health conditions and predicts “I’ll be dead in 2-3 months” without help. He tosses out a plea for help from Cardi B and Kim Kardashian, and suggests he’d get better treatment if he wasn’t white.
His team has been campaigning for a pardon from Trump, but it looks like that ship has sailed.

BILLIE EILISH BACKS TYLER, THE CREATOR’S CRITIQUE OF GRAMMYS ‘URBAN’ AWARDS – (06/09/2020)
Billie Eilish is echoing Tyler, The Creator’s Grammys speech about being put into a category that is more determined by his race than his music.
Tyler won the Grammy for Best Rap Album for IGOR, a largely experimental record where he did very little rapping at all. He noted: “On one side I’m very grateful that what I made could be acknowledged in a world like this, but also it sucks that whenever “we” – and I mean guys that look like me – do anything that’s genre-bending or that’s anything, they always put it in a rap or “urban” category which is – and I don’t like that “urban” word, it’s just a politically correct way to say the ‘N-word’ to me.”
“I have always hated categories,” Eilish said in a new interview with British GQ. “I hate when people say, ‘Oh, you look like ‘blank.’ You sound like ‘blank.’ It was such a cool thing Tyler said. I agree with him about that term. Don’t judge an artist off the way someone looks or the way someone dresses. Wasn’t Lizzo in the Best R&B category that night? I mean, she’s more pop than I am.”
She adds: “Look, if I wasn’t white I would probably be in ‘rap.’ Why? They just judge from what you look like and what they know. I think that is weird. The world wants to put you into a box; I’ve had it my whole career. Just because I am a white teenage female I am pop. Where am I pop? What part of my music sounds like pop?”
Over the weekend, Republic Records announced that they would no longer be using the word ‘urban’ when describing their “departments, employee titles and music genres.” “We encourage the rest of the music industry to follow suit,” it added in a statement.

The K-Pop band and their label Big Hit Entertainment threw their financial support behind the campaign in light of the death of George Floyd, but decided to remain tight-lipped about their donation.

Fans have been donating to the likes of NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, The National Bailout Collective and Black Aids Institute. One In An Army described the Army’s “support” as “overwhelming” and vowed to continue the campaign.

BEYONCÉ, LADY GAGA, BTS, LIZZO, TAYLOR SWIFT, KATY PERRY, MORE APPEAR DURING ‘DEAR CLASS OF 2020’ – (06/08/2020)
Inspirational leaders, celebrities and YouTube creators came together yesterday to celebrate the class of 2020 as part of YouTube Originals’ Dear Class of 2020.
The virtual commencement event celebrated graduates, their families and their local communities. The celebration featured commencement speeches from Lady Gaga, BTS, and more.
Lizzo opened the event with a performance of “Pomp and Circumstance” with the New York Philharmonic, followed by Alicia Keys giving a speech addressing the graduates and their families.
Leon Bridges, Camila Cabello, Noah Cyrus, Cynthia Erivo, Khalid, Tove Lo, Chris Martin, Ben Platt and Ty Dolla $ign teamed up for a special rendition of U2’s “Beautiful Day,” introduced by Bono.
Katy Perry concluded the ceremony and led the graduates in the ceremonial tassel turn.
Alicia Keys was the first speaker to offer her thoughts. She began by congratulating the grads, adding: “But let’s be honest, it’s been a hard week, and a hard month and a hard year. Right now, it may not feel like there’s much to celebrate, and that’s okay. It’s okay to not be okay right now.” She also addressed the state of civil unrest in America and the protests against racial injustice worldwide and saluting the ways graduates responded to national tragedy by trying to better the world around them.
Justin Timberlake pointed out how historically unique this ceremony would be and Taylor Swift shared that she too was not able to have a traditional graduation, due to being in the midst of a radio tour. BTS also delivered individual messages from all seven members.
The cast of Schitt’s Creek reunited – with a very special guest joining them. As the Rose family and their friends serenaded students with a rendition of Mariah Carey’s “Hero,” Carey herself hopped on the Zoom call. Carey even offered a few bars of “Always Be My Baby” following the performance.
Lady Gaga began her address by explaining that she had to re-record her speech after “the murder of George Floyd, and the subsequent activist movement protesting police brutality and systemic racism in this country.” She offered, “There is much to be sad about, there’s also much to be celebrated… you are watching what is a pivotal moment in the country’s evolution. You’re watching society change in a deeply important way.”
Beyoncé delivered one of the longest and most powerful messages. “Thank you for using your collective voice in letting the word know that Black Lives Matter,” she said. “Real change has started with you, this new generation of high school and college graduates we celebrate today.” She also slammed the continuing sexism that persists in the music industry. She finished by shouting out those who still felt like outsiders.
Dear Class of 2020 was original set for June 6th, but was moved in honor of George Floyd’s memorial service.

KYLIE JENNER TOPS ‘FORBES’ HIGHEST-PAID LIST – (06/05/2020)
Billionaire or not, Kylie Jenner makes bank. Less than a week after Forbes revoked Jenner’s “self-made billionaire” status, they crowned her and her brother-in-law Kanye West the top earning celebs of 2020.
Forbes acknowledged the controversy, saying that selling 51% of her stake in her makeup brand to Coty for $600M brought in the big bucks.
“While she had exaggerated over the years about the size of her business, the money she pulled in from the deal was real —enough to rank as one of the biggest celebrity cashouts of all time,” Forbes wrote on Thursday, June 4.
West, 42, who has also argued with Forbes for not naming him a billionaire, was named second-highest-paid celeb, with $170 million in earnings, primarily due to his fashion line Yeezy.
Rounding out the top 10 highest-paid celebrities are Roger Federer ($106.3 million), Cristiano Ronaldo ($105 million), Lionel Messi ($104 million), Tyler Perry ($97 million), Neymar ($95.5 million), Howard Stern ($90 million), LeBron James ($88.2 million) and Dwayne Johnson ($87.5 million).

Sharpton continued, “He died because of there has not been the corrective behavior that has taught this country that if you commit a crime, it doesn’t matter if you’re wearing blue jeans or a blue uniform, you must pay for the crime you commit.”
Floyd died on May 25th after ex-cop Derek Chauvin kneeled on his neck for almost nine minutes. He was 46.
