EXCLUSIVE: Ebro Calls Kanye West a Moron and a Scammer Amid "White Lives Matter" T-Shirt Controversy

Posted by lmcradio — Thu, 6 Oct 2022 12:25 GMT

Kanye West has been making headlines all week thanks to the controversial "white lives matter" tees worn at his Paris Fashion Week showcase. Baller Alert caught up with radio personality Ebro Darden and discussed several topics, including Ye's most recent antics. The Ebro Show host believes this is just another sacm for the Yeezy creator to sell his clothing. "Kanye's a moron and a scammer. He became Christian. He sold Jesus t-shirts. Then while he's Christian, he's smoking weed and drinking on Drink Champs with NORE. Then he's disparaging his wife and his family on social media. Dodging taxes, running for president. He's a scam artist. It's just another scam to sell some clothes," Ebro said.

He then goes on to call Kanye a grifter. After all, America is the land of grifters "playing with people's emotions to get money." As far as Kanye coming back from this controversy, Ebro says he'll apologize and put out a song. "It's all a game," he tells the reporter. "All he cares about is poking holes in things people believe in to try to challenge their thought around it and that's dangerous." "He's not taking people's emotions seriously. He's not taking anything seriously. He doesn't give a sh*t."

M&M's to Introduce Two New Coffee Flavors: Caramel Cold Brew & Espresso

Posted by lmcradio — Thu, 6 Oct 2022 11:31 GMT

M&M's has just announced their new coffee flavors sending coffee drinkers everywhere eager to get their hands on a bag. Caramel Cold Brew will make its debut in early 2023 and promises a crunchy caramel latte taste in the center with chocolate on the outer layer and the colorful M&M shell we've all grown to love. The company explained that as Gen-Z continued to gravitate towards coffee, they decided it was the perfect time to give them candy to go along with it. View this post on Instagram A post shared by M&M'S (@mmschocolate) "Mars' M&M'S brand decided to tap into the booming cold brew coffee scene and pair it with a confectionery favorite - caramel," said Allison Miazga-Bedrick, Senior Marketing Director at Mars Wrigley. While the Caramel Cold Brew is making its entrance at the top of next year, M&M's is also preparing another coffee-inspired flavor with the Espresso M&M's. A Crunchy Espresso flavor was released a few years ago to rave reviews but only for a limited time. While this new spin on Espresso isn't exactly the same, fans will get the same great brew taste. This dark and milk chocolate blend will feature a strong coffee center, arriving by the end of the year ahead of the Caramel Cold Brew. View this post on Instagram A post shared by CandyHunting (@candyhunting) There's no word yet on whether the Caramel Cold Brew or Espresso are limited edition offerings or which stores will supply them.

Virginia NAACP Leader Shot to Death While Vacationing in Turks and Caicos

Posted by lmcradio — Thu, 6 Oct 2022 01:53 GMT

A respected NAACP leader was brutally killed during an attack when the car he was riding in was ambushed in Turks and Caicos. On Sunday, as Kent Carter of Arlington, Virginia, was vacationing for his 40th birthday in the Turks and Caicos Islands, investigators say a gang-related shooting spree broke out in the Long Bay area of Providenciales, one of the primary tourist areas in the islands. Carter was a passenger in a vehicle that was carrying tourists and guides back from an excursion. That is when the violent gang randomly opened fire on the car. Carter, a tour guide, and one of the suspects were killed. Five other people, including another American tourist, were injured. Carter was a respected member of his community, leading the local NAACP chapter as vice president and lending himself to various housing, education, and economic causes. He was also a well known real estate agent, veteran and devoted father. Julius D. Spain, president of the NAACP branch where Carter served, said there were no words to describe the immense amount of mourning that was taking place. Carter's family, who was notified of his death on Tuesday, says they were not ready to make a public statement about his untimely passing. The NAACP branch in Arlington issued a statement, sending their condolences to Carter's family. "May God grant them strength during this time of sorrow," the statement read. Police Commissioner Trevor Botting says that Kent Carter nor the other victims were targeted. Instead, the rash of violence was a result of drug and turf wars. The investigation into the crime spree is ongoing.

Neuropathologist Bennett Omalu Says It's Time For Miami Dolphins Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa To Quit

Posted by lmcradio — Thu, 6 Oct 2022 00:14 GMT

A concussion doctor says Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa needs to put an end to his football career after suffering a concussion. The conversation around football players and their well-being and mental health is somewhat finally coming to the forefront after being neglected and looked over for years. The topic is now fresh in our minds following 24-year-old Tua Tagovailoa's tragic injury when the back of his head hit the ground on a sack by Cincinnati nose tackle Josh Tupou. The video of Tagovailoa going into a "fencing response," in which his fingers and arms were flexed in a fixed position, which is usually a result of a concussion or brain injury. He was immediately taken off the filed and hospitalized. That incident came just four days after he seemed unstable after a tackle during a game against the Buffalo Bills. Now, Bennet Omalu - a well-known neuropathologist with a history of finding chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) in former football players - is calling for Tagovailoa to give up the game permanently for the sake of his health. "Tua, my brother. I love you," said Omalu in a conversation with TMZ. "I love you as much as I love my son. Stop playing. Stop. Hang your helmet and gallantly walk away." He continued: "My advice to him is, look, it's time. You've suffered severe, long-term permanent brain damage. He seized. ... If you love your life. If you love your family, you love your kids, if you have kids, it's time to gallantly walk away. Go find something else to do." He ended his comments by saying: "He should stop. Sometimes money is not more valuable than human life. $20 billion is not worth more than your brain."

DEA Finds Thousands Of Fentanyl Pills Packed In Legos Toy Box

Posted by lmcradio — Thu, 6 Oct 2022 00:00 GMT

A Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) task force found thousands of fentanyl pills stored inside a box of "Classic Legos." There appears to be an underground system of drug peddlers who are pushing fentanyl into schools and neighborhoods as the synthetic opioid crisis continues to wreak havoc in the country. On Tuesday, a DEA task force in Manhattan found 15,000 fentanyl pills packed in two black bags inside the Legos box, which was in the back of a rented car near Hudson Yards, the New York Post reports. The force found the box at around 7 p.m. Only a few weeks have passed since thousands of rainbow-colored fentanyl pills were found inside candy packaging. As Halloween approaches, DEA agents are warning the public about the epidemic. "Fentanyl is the most significant threat to our public health and our public safety," said DEA Special Agent Frank Tarentino, the New York Post reports. "This is just the tip of the iceberg. We have more seizures every day. In New York City, there is a drug overdose every three hours. Nationally it's every five minutes, 295 a day."

New iPhone Feature Alerted Rescuers To Fatal Crash That Killed Six People

Posted by lmcradio — Wed, 5 Oct 2022 22:00 GMT

A new iPhone 14 feature helped police officers find a brutal crash that led to the deaths of six people. Six people ages 21, 22, 22, 23 and 26 were all found dead after their car hit a tree in a yard. Police responded to the scene after receiving a 911 call from an iPhone recording that indicated the person who owned the phone was in a crash and wasn't responding to their phone at 2:16 a.m. The iPhone recording is part of a new iPhone 14 feature that can reportedly feel, hear and measure a crash by jerks and changes in cabin pressure, the news outlet reports. The group was reportedly in a black Honda at the time of the crash. One of the victims, 24, was taken to the hospital, where she died from her wounds.

Boosie Doesn't Believe Mystikal's Rape Accusation Because His "Baby Mama" is the Alleged Accuser [Vi

Posted by lmcradio — Wed, 5 Oct 2022 21:24 GMT

In a recent interview with VladTV, Boosie shared his thoughts on the criminal charges against fellow Louisiana rapper Mystikal. In August, Mystikal was arrested and charged with rape for the third time in his career. One month later, a Louisiana jury indicted him on several charges, including first-degree rape, stemming from a July assault over finances. The rapper was also charged with criminal damage to property, false imprisonment, domestic abuse battery by strangulation, simple robbery, and drug possession in the incident, all of which together carry a mandatory life sentence if convicted. When asked about the laws in his home state, Boosie said Louisiana had "the worst laws ever." "I just think it's a fucked up situation," Boosie added about Mystikal's legal trouble. Although the woman had not been identified, Mystikal's previous attorney, Roy Maughan Jr., told the court that she had been in a longstanding relationship with the rapper since the 1990s, according to the New Orleans Advocate. However, VladTV revealed that the woman might be the mother of Mystikal's child, which encouraged Boosie to speak his peace. "I didn't really know the baby mama was the thang. I'm just seeing it like y'all seeing it, as far as social media," he continued. "But, I can't believe no baby mama shit. I ain't lying. Even if I want to, I can't believe no baby mama shit. Ain't no tellin' what happened. If they together and money involved, and I don't know. I don't really see no serial rape going on with no baby mama. Serial is violent. I just saw serial rape on that muthafuckin' thing. Serial is violent," Boosie said, referencing Netflix's Dahmer. "I don't see no serial rape. Most times yo' dick go in yo' baby mama, it open up." "You just fucked me up with the baby mama shit, 'cause when your dick go in there, it ain't no serial no more. It ain't violently," Boosie continued. I just know, shit, he need to try to figure it out cause most times, three strikes you out." As the interview continued, he went on to defend Mystikal's character but ultimately revealed he "don't know." "I may be wrong, I don't know," he said.

EXCLUSIVE: Ebro Says He'd Confront Akademiks for "Poppin' All That Sh*t" But "He Don't Come Outside"

Posted by lmcradio — Wed, 5 Oct 2022 20:53 GMT

Ebro is speaking out after Akademiks accused the Hot 97 and Beats 1 personality of blackballing DaBaby and other hip-hop artists. Last week, news broke that DaBaby's latest album, 'Baby on Baby 2,' was expected to sell less than 20K units, which was a significant decline in first-week sales compared to his 2020 album 'Blame it on Baby' which reportedly sold more than 100K units in the first week. (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=9c70969a-1597-42dd-9980-f3d56f4c8b56&cid=8d6b4040-04c9-4ad0-aa63-766b9eb4e9b9'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "9c70969a-1597-42dd-9980-f3d56f4c8b56", mediaId: "ef749d92-e987-4cbb-ab3e-e29e87277536" }).render("4805016848274521874cafa14bedd23d"); }); Despite the rapper's recent controversies, Ak believes Ebro is behind the declining numbers. "Da Baby's last project in 2020, Blame it on Baby, sold 124K first week. His new project after being blackballed by Ebro, Apple Music is scheduled to do less than 20K," DJ Akademiks tweeted last week. "Now yall understand my Ebro convo... DSPs control who is hot and who is not. Fall out of favor with them... UR DONE." The two went back and forth on Twitter following Ak's accusations. Da Baby last project in 2020 'Blame it on Baby' sold 124K first week. His new project after being blackballed by Ebro, Apple Music is scheduled to do less than 20K. Now yall understand my Ebro convo.... DSPs control who is hot and who is not. Fall out of favor with them.. UR DONE — DJ Akademiks (@Akademiks) September 28, 2022 I told u Ebro and Apple Music blackballed him. https://t.co/y8DczklEsp — DJ Akademiks (@Akademiks) September 28, 2022 Baller Alert caught up with Ebro Wednesday, where he shared he's in no position of power to blackball anyone. "I don't have that power," he said. "If the fans ain't coming to your concerts, and the fans aren't streaming your music- the music is on every platform. If the fans really want to go stream your sh*t, they type in your name and stream your sh*t." Ebro agreed that DJs do have some sort of say in what gets played. However, it's the "fans that really dictate" what gets airplay. "All programmers, all DJs, all radio people, they're out in the clubs, they're looking at social media, they're seeing what people are sharing and streaming- if people are f*cking with it, people play it," he said. As far as DaBaby, Ebro claims social media critics don't think the rapper hasn't evolved musically and that he's just looking for someone to blame for the low sales. The "Ebro in the Morning" host said when artists were on the come-up, they'd say things like, "I built this myself with me and my fan." But "as soon as they sh*t start slipping" they say they're being "blackballed." Elsewhere in the interview, Ebro spoke on his relationship with Akademiks, which he's unsure where they stand, but did say if he saw him in public, he'd confront him for "popping all that sh*t." He says, however, Akademik doesn't "come outside," so the likelihood of that happening is questionable. He also says Akademiks has an agenda and he's only concerned specifically about four artists who include DaBaby, NBA YoungBoy, Tory Lanez and 6ix9ine. "He has an agenda or is on somebody's payroll or both."

Velma Will Be Depicted As A Lesbian In New 'Scooby Doo' Halloween Special

Posted by lmcradio — Wed, 5 Oct 2022 19:17 GMT

A new Scooby-Doo film is going to depict the character Velma as a lesbian. In a new Scooby Halloween special called "Trick or Treat Scooby Doo," Velma's sexuality will be portrayed for what may be the first time in the franchise's history. According to NBC, Velma will be seen taking a romantic interest in a character named Coco Diablo, who is played by Kate Micucci. Velma also reportedly flirts with Coco throughout the show. Conversations about Velma and her sexuality have been up for discussion for years. Back in 2020, "Scooby Doo! Mystery Incorporated" producer Tony Cervone said that his version of Velma is a lesbian. "We made our intentions as clear as we could ten years ago," said Cervone at the time. "Most of our fans got it. To those that didn't, I suggest you look closer." The new movie was released online on Tuesday and will hit Cartoon Network on Oct. 14.

Ballerific Fashion: Are The MUGLER Jeans Worth The Hype?

Posted by lmcradio — Wed, 5 Oct 2022 19:00 GMT

The cutout spiral denim jeans worn by celebrities and other top-tier influencers are coming back this winter season. But are the $500+ jeans worth it? View this post on Instagram A post shared by MUGLER (@muglerofficial) Founded by Thierry Mugler in 1973, the fashion house reimagined the fashion industry by making theatrical, architectural, and hyperfeminine clothes, often crossing gender barriers in the industry. The fashion brand was one of the first to incorporate non-traditional models, such as pornstars, drag queens, and transgender women. Responsible for the famous looks of Michael Jackson, Grace Jones, Beyonc , and more, Mugler passed away in January 2022, leaving behind a dominating brand. There's not a defining moment when the aesthetic jeans came back in style, but loyal fans of Megan Thee Stallion, Kylie Jenner, and Beyonce all want the MUGLER look. The jeans are designed to perfect and accentuate every curve and actually retail for a fine penny. For the majority of the jean to be transparent-or contrasted with a different color, asks the question, what's the hype? View this post on Instagram A post shared by MUGLER (@muglerofficial) With sales driven mainly by celebrities, comfort may be the excuse for the overly expensive MUGLER jeans. The MUGLER seam-detail Skinny Jeans are described as "jeans from MUGLER featuring blue, cotton blend, high waist, button fly fastening, belt loops, skinny cut, classic five pockets, exposed-seam detailing and contrasting panel detail," per Farfetch. The MUGLER site also describes the jeans using "bi-material denim and stretch denim," advocating for a comfy fit. View this post on Instagram A post shared by MUGLER (@muglerofficial) And with the unique pattern jeans, many dupes out on the market are trying to compare. ZARA, Revolve, ASOS, and FashionNova are just some retailers competing with the jeans. Therefore, if you can, it may be worth it to check out the original MUGLER jeans, but if you must ball on a budget, the dupes you can find at an online retailer are only missing the iconic MUGLER tag.

New Survey Shows Some Americans Would Rather Shave Their Heads Or Spend A Night In Jail Than Try To

Posted by lmcradio — Wed, 5 Oct 2022 18:37 GMT

According to a new survey, 22% of Americans would rather spend a night in jail than speak with a customer service representative. Working with the public isn't always easy, and it isn't always easy explaining to a customer service rep your unique issue or challenge. The relationship between the customer and the representative has gotten so bad that a new survey suggests people would prefer getting locked up or shaving their heads than contacting a customer service rep, KKTV reports. The poll was taken by OnePoll on behalf of Twilio Flex, and it included 2,000 Americans. They all were asked what they rather do than reach out to customer service. The results showed that 30% of people would rather do their taxes, 28% would rather visit the dentist, 25% would rather go to the DMV, 24% would rather shave their head and 22% would rather spend a night in jail. The results come as many reportedly feel it's too difficult and takes too long of a process to get their issues resolved. The survey found that it typically takes about three tries and over an hour of time on the phone just to get an answer to a problem. Others in the survey mentioned other issues, including having to repeat themselves, not being able to reach a live person fast enough, too many navigating buttons, too much time on hold, among other issues, CBS 11 reports.

Candace Owens Drags Lizzo into Her 'White Lives Matter' T-Shirt Rant: "We Could Have Gotten a lot of

Posted by lmcradio — Wed, 5 Oct 2022 18:21 GMT

Candace Owens has dragged Lizzo into her mess following the backlash she received for supporting Kanye West and his "White Lives Matter" tees. During an episode of her Daily Wire podcast, Owens defended her and West's Paris Fashion Week attire while arguing that black Americans should care more about abortion, "black-on-black" crime, education standards, and even tied Lizzo into her rant on obesity. "You know what we should've done, we should've put a 'White Lives Matter' t-shirt on Lizzo," Owens said. "Maybe we could have gotten a lot of attention about obesity and how it's actually killing black Americans." Owens went off on her rant shortly after a photo of her and West wearing "White Lives Matter" shirts were shared on social media. "There is a deep irony and a sad irony when you consider that wearing a t-shirt has led such a tremor throughout the world," Owens said. "A t-shirt that says 'White Lives Matters,' which should be implied, right." She continued, "White lives matter, black lives matter, Asian lives matter - it should be implied, yet people are angry and they are being vicious online because they can't believe that we have the audacity to detract from the movement, which is a lie: "Black Lives Matter."

Candace Owens Comes To Kanye West's Defense After He Claimed the Kardashians Prevented Him From Seei

Posted by lmcradio — Wed, 5 Oct 2022 17:45 GMT

Candace Owens defended Kanye West after he claimed people were mad at his 'White Lives Matter' shirt but not at Kim preventing him from seeing his kids. Kanye recently responded to Gigi Hadid, who defended Vogue Editor Gabriella Karefa-Johnson. Gabriella shared her opinion of Kanye's controversial t-shirt, which didn't sit too well with him. In his response, Kanye deflected from the situation and questioned where was the backlash energy he's currently receiving when the Kardashians prevented him from seeing his children. "I WONDER WHAT GIGI AND VENUS'S PERESPECTIVES WERE WHEN I DIDN'T KNOW WHERE MY CHILD WAS ON HER BIRTHDAY," he wrote. He continued by mentioning Candace Owens being the only person who was on his side during the time. "CANDACE OWENS WAS THE ONLY PUBLIC FIGURE TO SAY THAT IT WAS WRONG FOR THE KARDASHIAN'S TO KEEP ME FROM SEEING MY DAUGHTER," Kanye added. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Baller Alert (@balleralert) Shortly after, Candace came to Kanye's defense and questioned where GiGi's concerns as well. "My bigger question for GiGi is whether or not she felt it was bullying when Pete had yours childrens name carved into his neck and was walking around with that after 6 minutes of dating Kim," she wrote. Candace continued, "I like GiGi. Excited to see that she's weighing in on bullies in Hollywood now bc everyone seemed pretty tight lipped and not too concerned about "mental health" when a man had to watch the media pretend it was normal for another man to tattoo his children's name into his body. Was that "trauma" or "violence"?" As we've previously reported, Kanye caused some controversy by wearing a 'White Lives Matter' shirt during his surprise Paris fashion show.

Alec Baldwin Settles Lawsuit With Family Of Halyna Hutchins

Posted by lmcradio — Wed, 5 Oct 2022 17:19 GMT

Actor Alec Baldwin has settled his lawsuit with the family of Halyna Hutchins, who died on the set of his movie "Rust." Back in February, the family of Hutchins filed a lawsuit against Baldwin and others involved in the production of "Rust" after the 42-year-old was fatally shot on October 21, 2021. The gun was discharged by Baldwin, and the family is claiming Baldwin and the crew exhibited reckless behavior and poor safety measures due to a cut in funding for the film led to Hutchins' death and the film's director being wounded. "Throughout this difficult process, everyone has maintained the specific desire to do what is best for Halyna's son," said Baldwin's attorney in a statement. "We are grateful to everyone who contributed to the resolution of this tragic and painful situation." The details about the specificity of the damages the family will receive weren't disclosed, NBC News reports. "All of us believe Halyna's death was a terrible accident. I am grateful that the producers and the entertainment community have come together to pay tribute to Halyna's final work," said Matthew Hutchins in a statement. The film is set to resume production in January.

While fans are excited to see Rihanna's anticipated Super Bowl halftime performance, the pop singer is trying to calm her nerves. TMZ recently caught up with Rih while grocery shopping and asked how she felt about returning to the stage. "I'm nervous, but I'm excited," she says. When asked if her boyfriend and child's father, A$AP Rocky, would be joining her on stage, the 34-year-old shrugged her shoulders and said, "Maybe, girl." Watch Video on YouTube Last week, Rih announced her performance in a unique way. The Fenty founder shared an uncaptioned Instagram post that featured her tattooed hand holding a football. The halftime show will mark Rih's return to the stage after six years. The singer's released her last album 'Anti' in 2016. Although her vocals have been heard in many songs since then, the majority of Rih's post-album music consists of features from 2017.

Diddy Claims Mase Owes Him $3 Million, Says He's a Fake Pastor that Conned People [Video]

Early Wednesday, Diddy appeared on The Breakfast Club and cleared up rumors that he stole money from his artists. During the interview, Diddy claimed that he never took anything from anyone on his label, despite claims from former Bad Boy rapper Mase. "Just in general, the Ma$e thing. I did one album with Ma$e. One album. How much money do you think I owe this guy," Diddy said about Mase's debut 1997 album Harlem World. "And then he became a fake pastor and went and conned people. And y'all gon' let him throw dirt on the god's name. Anybody can come and step up. Bring your receipts. But I'm not playing. I'm back outside, and I'm fighting back for us. And I'm also doing some fighting back for me." According to Diddy, Ma$e owes him $3 million for an advance for an album he never delivered. He released both of Ma$e's follow-up albums under Bad Boy.

"That's facts, I got the receipts." Diddy continued, "And I'm not gon' go back-and-forth with Ma$e. I'm not going back and forth with nobody. I'm just gonna speak up for myself now." "Anybody that thinks I owe them something, show me the receipt, and you'll get paid within 24 hours," he added. Mase has been the most outspoken critic of Diddy, who has received multiple complaints from former artists regarding unpaid debts. Earlier this year, Mase dropped a diss song, "Oracle 2: Standing on Bodies," in which he accused Diddy of mistreating his artist. Despite Mase's claims, Fivio Foreign has also accused the artist of the same complaint.

Kanye West Fires Back At Khloe Kardashian After She Called Him Out For Lying On Her Family

Posted by lmcradio — Wed, 5 Oct 2022 15:49 GMT

Kanye West has responded to Khloe Kardashian after she called him out for "tearing down" Kim and their family. On Wednesday, Kanye seemingly deflected from his 'White Lives Matter' t-shirt decision and changed the narrative to Kim throwing a "secret" birthday party for their daughter. During that time, a source close to Kim said Kanye made plans to hold his own party for Chicago. However, at the last minute, Kanye changed his mind and decided to attend Kim's. In Kanye's initial post, he says, "SO WHY DID EVERYONE FEEL SO FREE TO ATTACK ME ABOUT MY SHIRT BUT CANDACE OWENS WAS THE ONLY PUBLIC FIGURE TO SAY THAT IT WAS WRONG FOR THE KARDASHIANS TO KEEP ME FROM SEEING MY DAUGHTER." "FOR ALL THE AUDIENCE SO OUTRAGED BY MY T SHIRT WHERE WAS YOU WHEN I COULDN'T SEE MY KIDS," he continued. "I WENT PUBLIC IN HOPE OF PUBLIC SUPPORT AT THAT TIME." At this point, Khloe had enough and responded, "Ye, I love you. I don't want to do this on social media but YOU keep bringing it here. You are the father of my nieces and nephews and I'm trying to be respectful but please STOP tearing Kimberly down and using our family when you want to deflect." She continued, "Again with the birthday narrative. Enough already. We all know the truth and in my opinion, everyone's tired of it. You know exactly where your children are at all times and YOU wanted separate birthdays. I have seen all of the texts to prove it. And when you changed your mind and wanted to attend, you came."

"YOU ARE LYING AND ARE LIARS YALL BASICALLY KIDNAPPED CHICAGO ON HER BIRTHDAY SO SHE COULD REMEMBER HER FATHER NOT BEING THERE," he said. "YALL ALSO THREW A PARTY BEFORE PSALMS BIRTHDAY WHEN I WAS FLYING BACK FROM JAPAN TO BE THERE FOR HIS BIRTHDAY AND THE FIRST I HEARD ABOUT IT WAS SEEING PICS OF THE PARTY ON LINE." Kanye added, "ALSO I SHOULD SEE MY CHILDREN 100 % OF THE TIME BUT SINCE THERE'S A SEPARATION IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN 50% OF THE TIME YA'LL WOULDN'T HAVE PLAYED WITH DONDA LIKE THAT IN JESUS NAME."
