Kanye West will soon be banned from every social media platforms if he continues down this self destructive path.

The G.O.O.D. Music head was suspended from Clubhouse last weekend after making more troubling antisemitic comments during a live Q&A with Wack 100. Urban Islandz reported on Monday that Kanye West was laughing uncontrollably at Meek Mill on the platform after Wack told him that the Philly rhymer will be coming to check him on some recent comments. Meek Mill has since clapped back at Ye with some harsh criticisms.

In the same live Q&A in which Wack 100 charged fans $20 to listen, Ye hurled more troubling comments towards Jewish people, forcing Clubhouse to shutdown the conversion and issued him with a suspension. In a statement sent to the media, the platform says the comments violates its policies and community guidelines.

“We took action to shut down a conversation yesterday because it violated our policies,” Clubhouse said in a written statement. “We also suspended those who violated the policies. There’s absolutely no place for bullying, hate speech or abuse on our platform as explicitly stated in our Community Guidelines and Terms of Service.”

The conversation lasted for nearly an hour with Kanye and Wack 100 discussing the rapper being canceled over some recent controversies including corporate America cutting ties with him and losing his lucrative Adidas/Yeezy deal.

Ye has since fallen off Forbes billionaire list and at the time of this publication his true net worth is unknown. Some of his assets have reportedly frozen over and some folks close to him are reportedly saying he could go broke in a matter of months due to the cost it takes to maintain his current lifestyle.

In a recent interview, Kanye West says losing his wealth makes him more in love with life and he is certainly happier. “Am far happier and you know am just in love with life,” he said about losing his status as a billionaire.

Aside from Clubhouse, Ye is also suspended from Twitter and Instagram.

Shaggy and Friends charity concert might go extinct thanks to unfounded attacks on the dancehall legend.

Shaggy is responding to a newspaper report claiming that he has not turned over the JM$100 million raised from the last staging of his Shaggy and Friends benefit concert in 2018. This is not the first time that the Jamaican artist has been forced to clear the air. But a visibly annoyed Shaggy assured donors that the funds will be used for the intended purpose.

According to a local newspaper report on Monday, Health Minister Dr. Christopher Tufton shared his concerns that five years later, the funds have not flowed to the children of the Bustamante Children’s Hospital, the beneficiary of the funds raised by the Shaggy Make A Difference Foundation. In a new interview with the Observer, the “Angel” deejay says they are now in the planning phase to refurbish and expand portions of the hospital to accommodate more kids and give better care.

“We have to get a budget together, drawings done, contractors,” he said while noting that it takes time to get the best team in place for the job. “We have to get all of them in place first and get the best.”

Shaggy also noted that part of the delay was the global pandemic which lasted the better part of two years or more. Coupled that with other roadblocks in getting land space secured for the original plan to build a new facility. In responding to the recent newspaper headline, the artist makes it clear that he and his team have never operated under the intention that they would simply hand over funds they raised. He stated that funds have always been used to buy equipment and refurbish the hospital.

In addressing the burning question of whether or not he will host another staging of his benefit concert, Shaggy says it remains a matter to be discussed with his partners, who are disgusted by the attacks.

“In my heart of hearts I would love to because you have to put the children first and we saw the good that it did,” he said. “It is not a conversation for myself, it is a conversation that involves these people (partners of Shaggy and Friends). The preliminary conversation I have had with them, they are a little gutted and disgusted by the situation.”

Shaggy ended by saying that perhaps time will change things down the road, but when that time comes, he and his team will make the decision.

Rihanna has earned her first Golden Globe nomination for her soundtrack “Lift Me Up” from Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, the highest-grossing superhero film of all time.

The 80th Golden Globe nominations were released on Monday morning, revealing a slew of entertainers who have been named as nominees, but one of the most impactful was Rihanna which left fans and the artist in a celebratory mood.

Rihanna was nominated for Best Original Song – Motion Picture for the track, which shot to No. 1 upon release and which marked an emotional and somber remembrance of the real-life passing of Black Panther actor Chadwick Boseman. The song was also the artist’s first comeback since taking a break from releasing music in 2016 and is among two soundtracks that were created for Black Panther 2.

The Bajan beauty and National Hero reacted with gratitude and love emojis on Twitter upon the Golden Globe’s announcement.

“God be showin out!” Rihanna wrote on Twitter.

The other nominees in the category are “Carolina,” by Taylor Swift from ‘Where the Crawdads Sing’, “Ciao Papa,” by Guillermo del Toro & Roeban Katz from the movie Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio’, “Hold My Hand,” by Lady Gaga and Bloodpop from ‘Top Gun: Maverick’, and “Naatu Naatu,” by Kala Bhairava, M. M. Keeravani, Rahul Sipligunj from the movie RRR.

“Lift Me Up” signaled Rihanna’s return to music after taking an extensive break since 2016 while she built her Fenty Beauty and Savage Fenty billion-dollar business.

Although Rihanna is getting most of the recognition for “Lift Me Up,” the song was co-written by Nigerian sensation Tems, Ludwig Göransson, Rihanna, and Ryan Coogler.

“Lift Me Up” landed on the Billboard Hot 100 at No. 2 shortly after release before going in to chart at No. 1 across several charts and countries.
