Kanye West announced that he will not be doing his tour of the United States and Canada with Lady Gaga. He refused to tell anyone why he canceled the tour and Lady Gaga has confirmed that she did not ask Kanye to sit this one out.
So I guess it can only be assumed that he’s ashamed to face his fans. He knows that he will face ridicule wherever he goes for his composure on the MTV Video/Music Awards. I hope that this will be turning point for Kanye into realizing that he needs to be less opinionated and more diplomatic. …read more

Some have called it a mid-life crisis but for whatever reason Madonna decided to cross over the music genres and asked Lil Wayne to help her with her new song “Revolver.”
“My life’s a revolver, I shoot em’, Bang Bang.” sounds like a James Bond song to me. The new song was released over YouTube yesterday and has made a few die hard Madonna fans upset that she teamed up with Lil Wayne.
As a fan of both artists I don’t see why people are upset. The song’s alright and it’ll do well on the charts despite what a few people …read more

Kanye West declaired himself the new “King of Pop” when addressing a Scrape TV yesterday. West, who is known for his over-inflated ego has said that after the passing of Michael Jackson it’s time now to pass on the crown.

Unfortunately someone forgot to tell Kanye that no one is ever declared King of Pop, there is no coronation or ceremony involved. Michael Jackson received the name after his close friend Elizabeth Taylor handed him a “Artist of the Decade” prize back in 1989.
