Kanye West Spoke To Joe Rogan For 3 Hours, Says Oprah Told Him Not To Run

Source: Neil Mockford / Getty Kanye West is quite loquacious. The struggle Presidential candidate spoke to Joe Rogan for three hours, and even detailed how Oprah Winfrey urged him not to run. Of course, Yeezy didn’t actually listen to Oprah. Just like he said he would, West sat down with the Joe Rogan Experience podcast, and it was a doozy. For nearly three hours, West hit a myriad of topics including his relationship with God, building a soundstage in Atlanta, making his kicks more affordable, the Titanic and all types of other random or not so random sh*t. But the Oprah moment did stick out. “I remember running into Oprah two days or one day after that, and she’s like you don’t want to be president,” said West. “One of the things Oprah said is she said, ‘You got to bone up on your foreig...

Kanye West Tells Joe Rogan Idea to Run for President Came in the Shower: ‘God Put It in My Heart’

Kanye West’s highly anticipated appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience has arrived, and it lives up to the hype. During the nearly three-hour-long conversation, the rapper-turned-presidential-hopeful revealed the exact location where he got the idea to run for office. “It was something that God put in my heart back in 2015. A few days before the MTV awards, it hit me in the shower,” West recalled. “When I first thought of it I just started laughing to myself. All this joy came over my body, just through my soul. I felt that energy; I felt that spirit.” “I believe that my calling is to be the leader of the free world,” he added before explaining why he thinks he’s the man for the job. “There couldn’t be a better time to put a visionary in the captain’s chair,” West declared. “I’m not h...

Amber Rose Blasts Op Kanye West, Calls Him A “Narcissist” & “Bully”

Source: Phillip Faraone / Getty Amber Rose still has some things to get off her chest when it comes to Kanye West. Amber Rose didn’t have anything nice to say about her ex, Kanye West, during a recent interview on the No Jumper podcast. Speaking with Adam22, Rose slammed West. Rose, who is now a mother of 2 children, called out the Chicago rapper and now bootleg presidential candidate for his 2015 comments when he disgustingly said that he had to take “30 showers” 5-years after they decided to dead their relationship. Rose let the chopper sing, “I don’t know if he says things to make his wife (Kim Kardashian) more comfortable but to slut-shame me and say you needed 30 showers?” she added, “You took me around the world. Since when do you need 30 showers?” Rose would go onto say that even af...

Teyana Taylor’s dream came true when superstar Elton John agreed to play the grand piano in the “Lose Each Other” video, a single from The Album, her No. 1 Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop record. “When Teyana Taylor released her debut album, I became a huge fan,” John said in a statement. “She was a guest on my Rocket Hour and I fell in love with her original spirit. Aside from her brilliant music, Teyana is one of the most visually dazzling artists working in music today. So I jumped at the chance to be in her latest video ‘Lose Each Other.’” The Album is Taylor’s third studio record and was released on June 19 through GOOD Music and Def Jam Recordings. It is her second No. 1. Taylor, who also directed the video, recalls her amazement at hearing from John: “As we were working through ...

Black Ops: Kanye West Says He’ll Be Appearing On ‘The Joe Rogan Experience’

Source: YouTube (Supplied by WENN) / WENN Ask, and you shall receive. After putting it out in the universe that he wanted to appear on The Joe Rogan Experience, alleged Presidential candidate Kanye West is getting his wish. In case you’re unaware, The Joe Rogan Experience is an immensely popular podcast which books a wide array of guests for the comedian/host/UFC to commentator to chat it up with. Also, it’s where Elon Musk was seen smoking weed in the studio. On Saturday (Oct. 17), Yeezy took to Twitter to reveal he’ll be sitting down with Rogan next week on Friday. “Joe Rogan said it’s cool for me to design the set for our podcast this Friday,” tweeted West along with a photo of what looks like him and Rogan on a Facetime call.  In case you missed it, on Oct. 12, Kanye West twe...

Kanye West Wins Billboard Music Awards In Gospel Category, Killer Mike Honored

Source: Kevin Mazur/BBMA2020 / Getty Last night’s Billboard Music Awards went down and while Post Malone walked away the night’s biggest winner with 9 extra trophies to display on the mantle in his home, Kanye West also got some recognition for his new venture into the world of gospel music. Though his gospel album Jesus Is King was received to mix reviews and mostly praised by Donald Trump Jr. (we wonder why), Yeezy walked away with Top Gospel Artist, Top Christian Album, Top Gospel Album, and Top Gospel Song awards by the time the night was done. Kirk Franklin is somewhere cursing the heavens over this, maybe. Still, at the end of the day it is basically a popularity contest and no disrespect to Mr. Franklin, but Kanye West is way more known outside of gospel circles so we’re not surpris...

Kanye West Drops New Song ‘Nah Nah Nah’

There’s no stopping Kanye West. After releasing a snippet of “Believe What I Say,” sampling Lauryn Hill’s “Doo-Wop (That Thing),” West has now dropped a new freestyle track. “Nah Nah Nah,” which appeared on social media into the early hours of Wednesday morning (Oct. 14), delves into his current run for U.S. president, the podcast appearance with Nick Cannon and his contract dispute with Universal Music Group. With the song, West also shared a clip of a UFC fighter knocking out Imapa Kasanganay in a match last weekend. “Nah Nah Nah” follows “Wash Us in the Blood,” which he released in June. West promised a new album called DONDA in July, but it didn’t come. Instead, a clip of the track popped up on social media. On the campaign front, West released a campaign ad this week following a Kentu...

Black Ops: Kanye West Releases First Presidential Campaign Ad

Source: Drew Angerer / Getty Kanye West‘s 2020 Presidential bid isn’t just a farce on its face, but under the surface it’s also a Republican ploy to help siphon away Black votes from Joe Biden to help the Racist-In-Chief hold onto power in the White House. Even though the conscious backpack rapper turned MAGA acolyte is only on the ballot in a handful of states (hence, making it impossible for him to become America’s 46th President), Yeezy is still going full steam ahead with his campaign and just dropped his first presidential campaign ad aimed at faith-based Americans. In his minute long campaign ad, Kanye West comes off as one of the most sane and visionary candidates we’ve seen in years telling Americans that “We as a people are called to a greater purpose than ourselves. We are not on...

Kanye West Hits London & Ignores Quarantine Protocols

Source: Splash / Splash News Kanye West seems to be living in his own world these days in which he walks on water and is happy to be a tool of the oppressive Republican party, but does that mean he’s excluded from quarantine protocols when it comes to traveling too? Recently the bipolar rapper took a trip to the UK with his 7-year-old daughter, North West and though any and everyone traveling to across the pond are required to quarantine for two weeks upon arrival, NME is reporting that Yeezy and his team were walking the streets of London as if they’re not from a country where the Coronavirus has infected millions of people. Seemingly ignoring quarantine rules so he and his firstborn could attend the Bottega Veneta fashion show this past Friday night, many people were rightfully upse...

Fool Runnin’: Kanye West Still In Presidential Race, Debuts ‘VOTE KANYE 2020’ Merch

Source: SEBASTIAN SMITH / Getty Kanye West is still putting his hat in the ring as a presidential hopeful by debuting his official campaign merch. On Wednesday (Oct. 9), during the 2020 Vice Presidential Debate, Kanye West premiered his campaign gear via Twitter after tweeting that both of the current VP nominees “needed to get merch first.” The limited line, which consists of a myriad of hats, hoodies, and t-shirts, features two slogans, one of which says “God Save America” and the second a very blunt call to action urging fans to “Vote Kanye.” For fans who would like a hat instead, the “Good Life” rapper features hats with the slogan, “Kanye 2020 Vision.” In addition to releasing new campaign apparel, West also outlined the 10 pillars of his campaign, with each benchmark paired with a re...

MAGA Jig: Kanye West Files Docs That Say He’s Worth Hundreds Of Millions, Not Billions

Source: The Washington Post / Getty Kanye West is very wealthy. However, financial docs he had to file since he’s running for President (spoiler: he won’t win) indicate he isn’t worth near the billions of dollars he’s been claiming. Business Insider initially reported about Yeezy’s financial disclosures, which he had to present to the Federal Election Commission. As the Daily Mail points out, West claims he has three companies (Yeezy LLC, Yeezy Apparel LLC, and Yeezy Footwear LLC.) that are worth $50 million each while his partnerships with adidas and Nike are worth a combined $30 to $75 million. Note, we’re not sure how the latter works considering he’s rocking with adidas, although he did threaten to roll with the Jumpman if the other brand doesn’t put him on its board during a recent Tw...
