Yesterday Paris’s high-end fashion brand, Balmain, released teaser snapshots from their upcoming Music Meets Fashion campaign featuring none-the-less, Kanye West. It’s a known fact that Ye’s a big fan of the brand. He and wifey Kim epically rocked the line at the Met Gala earlier this year.
Peep the campaign teaser below, and stay on the lookout for Balmain’s Music Meets Fashion.
It seems Kanye is doing some serious rearranging for his upcoming album. When we first heard about Ye‘s upcoming album, it was under the name So Help Me God. But Alas, Yeezus decreed this was not a fitting name for his newest effort, so the name was then changed to Swish. Today, Kanye tweeted yet again a name change for this insanely anticipated album, it will be called Waves. There is alot of speculation as to what this new title means but the most dominate so far is Wiz Khalifa‘s. According to Khalifa, “Waves” is derivative of rapper Max B, although “Waves” its probably just coincidental. The tracklist for “Waves” was also tweeted in a photo. The 11 song track list features the currently popular “No More Parties In LA” with Kendrick Lamar and “Wolves” with Sia and Vic Mensa. The tweet features Kanye’s handwritten tracklist as well as some famous signatures from what we assume are people who have listened or contributed to the album. You can see the tracklist and tweet below. Waves is set to release on Feb. 11.

Sometimes the universe gives us things we don’t even know we need. In this case, the universe said Nicki Minaj needs a video game — and it’s right. Glu, the creators of Kim Kardashian: Hollywood, announced that they are working to make a game based on the Queen of Rap herself. The game is currently expected to release sometime in 2016.
We can only hope that the game includes some of the superstar’s everyday tasks, like dealing with boy beef, deciding which wig to purchase and starting a fragrance line. The game should be as wonderful as Kim K’s, if not even better. Read more details about the game here.
Earlier today, Kanye made an announcement on Twitter:
I’m changing my album name to SWISH
— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) May 3, 2015
I might change it again but that’s the name now — KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) May 3, 2015
On February 28th, Yeezy declared the album title to be So Help Me God. SWISH first made an appearance on March 16th, when he tweeted screenshots of his wife Kim K’s implied nude photoshoot, along with the blanket statement “I’M SO LUCKY.” Could she be the inspiration for the new title? 
In typical Kanye West fashion, the rapper held an impromptu concert on Sunday night midnight (local time) at Swan Lake (known as Karapi Lich) in Yereven, Armenia. After sight-seeing for a few days with his wife, daughter, and sister-in-law, it seems that Kanye needed to find a way to end his trip with a bang. Kim K advertised the free show on Twitter and the madness ensued. Thousands of fans showed up to the makeshift stage to watch Kanye perform the short set that included “Stronger”, “Jesus Walks,” “Power,” “Touch the Sky” and “All of the Lights.”
When he noticed that part of the crowd couldn’t see him, ‘Ye just couldn’t let that fly. When Yeezy started on “Good Life”, he jumped into the lake so they could see him and the crowd went wild. Hundreds of fans jumped in with him, dancing around and living the good life, much to the dismay of the Armenian police. They jumped in, surrounded and dragged Kanye away from the group of fans that were scrambling to get a picture or five with him. Needless to say, the show was cut short. The look on his face as he was being escorted away was priceless. As much of walking controversy as he is, his love for his fans and getting down and dirty has never been more clearly showcased.
