Peep what Kanye West had to say at a recent press event in New Zealand:

“Nobody really wants to recognize that Beyonce is a f*cking living legend and that she is just as great, if not greater, than the artists that we had in the past…that she’s probably greater than Tina Turner.”

Kanye just doesn’t know when to quit runnin’ his mouth. We’d like to know what other legendary diva’s he thinks Beyonce’s greater than. Egomaniac.

Kanye West during a recent interview with DJ Semtex:

“I don’t even listen to rap. My apartment is too nice to listen to rap in. I have to be in a way more grimey environment to turn any rap music on”

Poor Sugar Bear is crying about his earring:

Suge claims in his U.S. Bankruptcy case that while he was in custody back in 2005, he was passed around like a $2 whore — from Barstow police to the West Valley Detention Center to the California Institution for Men. Somewhere along the way, Suge says his diamond stud earring was stolen.

Interesting, because Suge just filed a lawsuit against Kanye West, claiming West was responsible for another Suge earring heist. When Kanye was hosting a party in 2005, Suge was shot and his $135,000 earring was allegedly pilfered off his bleeding body.

It’s an expensive lesson to learn, but perhaps Suge shouldn’t walk around with an earring that is comparable in pricing to a decent split-level condo in the suburbs. SMH

It looks like Damon Dash is starting sh*t:

Damon Dash is telling more tales about his estranged business partner, Jay-Z. His latest: that Jigga set off a feud with Kanye West by refusing to bestow his bling on Kanye.

Dash claims the simmering beef dates back to a 2003 Chicago concert, where the then-up-and-coming Kanye expected ruling Roc-A-Fella artist Jay to “knight” him by presenting him with a gleaming chain.

But, according to Dash, Jay didn’t want to fork over the chain.

“This n- [Kanye ] was like, ‘Wow. [Jay-Z] ain’t going to give me the chain,’” Dash alleges in December’s Complex magazine. “I had to take off my chain and give it to him, and I was heated. I had the real canary diamonds. That s- cost $40,000! I told Kanye, ‘Yo, you got to give that back when we get off this stage!’”

Dash contends that after Jay-Z violated the code of hip-hop chivalry, “Kanye hated Jay-Z.” But a rep for Kanye tells us the story is “ridiculous and totally false.” Others suggested that Dash, whose business relationship with Jay ended badly, has trotted out the story to hype his latest protege, rapper Jim Jones.

“This is sad,” says one source. “Damon does this every time he’s promoting an artist. He just makes things up.”

We knew it wouldn’t be long before Damon started some sh*t. When you back a man into a corner, he will do anything to get out of it, even if that means acting like a lil’ b*tch. Man up, Dame. SMH

Here’s another pic of Damon at the Vogue party:

Livesteez is reporting that around 3yrs ago Suge was robbed and dumped on at Yay’s party, he is filing a lawsuit against Kanye for the lost jewelry:

Former Hip-Hop mogul Suge Knight is suing rapper/producer Kanye West, blaming the Chicago superstar for damages that resulted from a nightclub shooting three years ago. In August 2005, Knight was shot in the right leg at Kanye’s pre-MTV Video Music Awards party at the Shore Club, located in Miami. Initially some speculated that Knight accidentally shot himself, but that claim was later refuted after eyewitnesses confirmed that at least six shots were fired during the incident. The assailant was never apprehended. Knight, who sought bankruptcy protection in 2006, filed the lawsuit against Kanye West on October 30. In it, Knight claims West is culpable in the crime since the shooter was able to get past the party’s security with a deadly weapon, according to AllHipHop.com. Additionally, Knight alleges that he not only suffered blood loss, but also lost a diamond stud earring valued at $135,000, and had to take a private jet back to California. Knight is seeking damages from West which includes medical expenses from the shooting and mental anguish for “the loss of use and enjoyment of the earring.” While Knight is still under bankruptcy protection, the courts have allowed him to retain a portion of any proceeds awarded from the lawsuit.

When the checks stop coming in, you have to get creative and find different come up’s. This suit might be a cut and dry chance for stacks that he missed previously, but his licentious @ss will probably get the finger from the judge.

Yeezy is a little ticked off at the leakage of the Robocop song but it seems like his people leaked the single. Who else could have? Here’s a snippet of the temper tantrum found on Kanye’s blog:

“I DID NOT LEAK ROBOCOP!!!… THAT’S NOT EVEN THE FINISHED VERSION… I’M PRETTY UPSET ABOUT IT BUT THAT’S THE WAY LIFE IS SOMETIMES!”

10.26.2008

He’s out here doing all this posturing and sh*t, but we know what’s up. Sell your CDs, boy.

Danity Kane’s ex-resident ho, Aubrey, appears to be working hard to stay relevant by any means necessary:

Sources say highly talented Kanye West was sucking face with bimbonic pop tart Aubrey O’Day . We’re told the duo were recently at 1Oak making out. “Either they actually kissed, or Aubrey was just telling people they kissed,” said our source. The buxom “Hairspray” star made headlines recently when she was kicked out of her MTV band, Danity Kane, and then romantically linked to Donnie Wahlberg. Reps on both sides had no comment.

While it’s easy to believe that Ho-Aubrey, would bend over backwards (quite literally) for even a sliver of celebrity, this sounds like a publicity stunt. Wasn’t Yeezy just allegedly bussin slob with Rihanna? Anyone remember what Kanye did the last time he had an album out?
