Dennis Rodman Wants To "Make History" With Kanye West

Kanye West recently revealed NBA legend Dennis Rodman is one of his of idols.

Last week, ‘Ye posted a Twitter photo of Rodman’s old Chicago Bulls jersey with the caption, “Thank to one of my biggest inspirations … always breaking barriers with independent thought.”

Now, Rodman wants to “make history” with the Chicago rap luminary. On Saturday (July 14), the eccentric athlete shared a video to his Twitter account announcing he’d like to collaborate with West on a track.

“Love your work, love your style, love your wife, your kids are beautiful,” he says. “Hey man, I thought about something. Let’s me and you do a track together, man — about world peace, about leaders of love, baby. Leaders of love. You’re one. I’m one. Let’s get together, baby, and do this right.”

West has yet to respond to Rodman’s offer. But, considering Yeezy’s often unpredictable behavior and Rodman’s willingness to take risks, a collaboration certainly isn’t outside the realm of possibilities.

Watch Rodman’s full video above.

Tekashi 6ix9ine Is Out Of Jail & Paying Kids To Join New Soccer League

Brooklyn, NY – Tekashi 6ix9ine is out of Rikers Island jail and back in his hometown of Brooklyn, where he’s evidently decided to start a kids soccer league.

On Sunday (July 14), 6ix9ine posted an Instagram video showing him doling out $20 bills to several kids and some of their parents.

“STARTED A SOCCER LEAGUE STRAIGHT OUT JAIL,” he wrote in all caps. “69 FOR THE COMMUNITY.”

In the clip, someone jokes that it’s “bail money.”

STARTED A SOCCER LEAGUE STRAIGHT OUT OF JAIL ? 69 FOR THE COMMUNITY ?❤️?????

A post shared by TATI OUT NOW LINK IN BIO (@6ix9ine_) on Jul 14, 2018 at 3:54pm PDT

The multicolored-hair rapper was arrested on Wednesday (July 11) at John F. Kennedy International Airport for an alleged assault after coming back from a European tour.

The 22-year-old was booked into Rikers Island and initially denied bail. But, after his lawyers called for an emergency hearing on Thursday (July 12), he was allowed out on $150,000 bail.

The catch? He must return to Houston on Monday (July 16) and turn himself in. He will have to post another $5,000 bail to secure his freedom. 

Upon his release, the “Gummo” phenom shared a video that captured his unhinged excitement.

“Look at my city! Why my city do me like that?” he shouts. “It’s fuckin’ Treway. Why my city do me like that? Shout out to these lawyers. Shout out to these fucking lawyers, man! Them niggas work quick as fuck. Yo! I’m so happy to be home. I can’t wait to see my baby. I can’t wait to see my daughter.”

Peep the full video below.

Drake Spits Flames During BBC Radio’s "Fire In The Booth" Freestyle Segment

London, England – Roughly one week after dropping the “Behind Barz” freestyle, Drake has returned for another round.

On Saturday (July 14), BBC Radio 1xtra host/DJ Charlie Sloth shared a YouTube video of the Toronto superstar spitting a new freestyle for Sloth’s “Fire in the Booth” segment.

“Goldman Sachs, they wanna hold my racks/Hedge fund investors talk to Adele like he the expert/I hear it in they tone when they address him,” he raps in the first verse. “We way too connected. Tom Ford assistant texted asking if I want classic or double breasted, I flex with/Broad shoulders/When I walk through the halls they move over/Stories about how we handle ours start to travel like a lone soldier/I told you.”

The rap powerhouse continues in verse two with, “Y’all keepin’ the score while watchin’ me score/Y’all keep the awards, I’ll take the rewards/If y’all goin’ for fun, I’ll stay and record/But if y’all goin’ to war I’m there for sure/Wouldn’t miss it … Key West retirement plan/Grippin’ the Callaway club in my hand/Hittin’ balls off of the balcony into the sand.”

Drake was in London after taking DJ Khaled’s headlining spot at the Wireless Festival on Sunday (July 8). While in town, he was spotted shooting a video on a double-decker bus, however it’s unclear for what song. Considering he just released the 25-track Scorpion, it’s safe to assume it will be for one of those cuts.

Check out the “Fire In The Booth” freestyle above and footage of his video shoot below.

“Went home and cried by mysel in my room! She kept complimenting me and all I could say was thank you! To all my fans, just know you wouldn’t have Tierra Whack w/o Lauryn Hill. I am forever grateful.”

Whack released her debut album, Whack World, in May. The innovative audiovisual project was unveiled on Instagram in 15 different one-minute clips. Each one had Whack playing a different character and gave the term “creative” a whole new meaning.
