Drunk Nas: "I’m The Greatest Virgo To Ever Live … Besides Doug E. Fresh."

Las Vegas, NV – Nas evidently drank too much alcohol on Saturday night (May 26) and was forced to stumble through a Las Vegas club appearance.

While the Hip Hop legend still was standing upright, he declared, “I’m the greatest Virgo to ever live … besides Doug E. Fresh” as he swayed to Michael Jackson’s “Human Nature,” which he famously sampled for his own classic, “It Ain’t Hard To Tell.”

The 44-year-old MC was at the Palms for the grand opening of the Apex Social Club. According to TMZ, club attendees said he wandered off after less than 10 minutes on the mic.

But before Nas made his grand exit, he managed to spit out, “I’m just happy. I’m just happy for Apex. Shout out to everybody living life!”

As far as Nasty Nas’ Hip Hop Virgo competition, artists like Wiz Khalifa, Lil Yachty, Big Daddy Kane, 2 Chainz and the late Eazy-E were also born between August 23 and September 22.

In 2004, Nas recruited Ludacris and Doug E. Fresh for the Street’s Disciples track “Virgo,” and it’s a known fact Nas is a huge fan of classic Hip Hop.

Prior to Nas’ 2010 divorce from Kelis, she threw a surprise party for Nas’ 33rd birthday and invited some of his favorite golden era MCs, including Slick Rick Dana Dane, Bizzy B, Melle Mel, Monie Love, Just Ice and, of course, Doug E. Fresh. 

Nas is currently embroiled in a bitter custody battle with his ex-wife over their 8-year-son Knight. In a recent interview, the “Milkshake” singer opened up about their marriage and alleged Nas was a violent alcoholic during their nearly six-year union.

Tekashi 6ix9ine Drops New Single "TATI"

Tekashi 6ix9ine promised to drop his new single “TATI” on Sunday (May 27). The polarizing artist lived up to his word, releasing the DJ SpinKing-assisted track on streaming outlets.

6ix9ine’s new single arrives a week after he was apprehended by the NYPD for driving with a suspended license. The controversial figure was later charged with assaulting a police officer after he was accused of causing “pain and swelling” by squeezing and twisting the hands of an officer who was removing his handcuffs.

The platinum-selling rapper has denied the allegations.

Kim Kardashian Drags Rhymefest While Defending Kanye West

Kim Kardashian went into mama bear mode to defend her husband Kanye West on Saturday (May 26).

After Che “Rhymefest” Smith — former ‘Ye songwriter and creative director of West’s non-profit Donda’s House — accused West of saying “fuck the youth of Chicago” when seeking help in rebuilding the organization, the reality television queen fired back.

“U haven’t been right since u got kicked out of the studio in Hawaii wearing fake Yeezy’s @RHYMEFEST,” Kardashian wrote. “You’re over [sic] Kanye’s name asked Kanye to donate money to u so stop w your fake community politics lies. Truth is you haven’t been able to sustain the foundation.”

“I saw you at our studio a few weeks ago so why didn’t you bring this up then @RHYMEFEST ?” she continued. “You were trying to get Kanye to listen to your sub par beats. You have the audacity to use Kanye’s mom name to try to shead a negative light on Kanye.”

Kardashian wasn’t done there. She then accused Rhymefest of pulling a Harry Houdini during the making of 2016’s The Life Of Pablo and declared her new mission was to have her children — Saint, North and Chicago — run Donda’s House correctly.

“You didn’t say this when Kanye paid you up front then you disappeared during Pablo #RealFriends,” she tweeted. “You better believe I will make it my mission to take Donda’s House from you and let my children run it the way it should be run!”

The 36-year-old reality star brought her Twitter tirade to a close by suggesting Rhymefest isn’t good enough to be on ‘Ye’s forthcoming solo album and apologizing to her fans for tweeting about (essentially) a nobody.

“Oh and lastly your flight cancelled to Wyoming,” she concluded. “You thought you were really worthy to be on this album. Sorry to all my followers for flooding my timeline I know you have no idea who Rhymefest is.”

But that wasn’t the end of it. Rhymefest quickly responded to Kardashian’s Twitter rant with a statement of his own.

“I don’t care if no one on your timeline knows who I am,” he wrote. “The people in my community and in my city do, and that’s what truly matters to me. Your husband and I have been in correspondence for the last two months, which as you stated, even you saw me in the studio recently.

Kanye asked me if I could come help him with his album again. I was seeking Kanye…he was seeking me. I spoke to your husband about peace, and balance, as well as the work that we have been doing in Chicago regarding Donda’s House. He was more interested in his record.”

Rhymefest also implored Kardashian to get involved albeit with a light dusting of salt. 

“Foot the bill as we have done, for youth to record or contact more of your famous friends to actually come sit down with the youth.”

Rhymefest went on to say he’d “welcome” Kardashian and West dissolving the organization to do it themselves.

Donda’s House was named after West’s mother, Dr. Donda West, who passed away in 2009 from a heart attack.

Since West’s recent controversial behavior, which includes his blatant support of Donald Trump and the “slavery is a choice” comment, Donda’s House was worried the negative attention would affect the organization.

In a statement, the non-profit wrote, “We ask that as you boycott and protest Kanye West, that you not forget that we are a non-profit organization that like other non-profits needs donations, corporate support and volunteers. We do not want your rejection of Kanye West, to be a rejection of Dr. Donda West and the thousands of lives she impacted including her own son.”

Donda’s House Relinquishes Name To Kim Kardashian & Kanye West

Chicago, IL – Donda’s House creative director Che “Rhymefest” Smith has shared a statement announcing that the Chicago non-profit will no longer be using the name of Kanye West’s late mother Dr. Donda West.

The decision comes after West’s wife, Kim Kardashian, went on a Twitter tirade aimed at her husband’s former songwriter on Saturday night (May 26).

In a statement posted to the Donda’s House, Inc. Twitter account, the organization explained, “Due to recent events that have occurred over the last 48 hours, we have decided to no longer use the name Donda’s House, Inc.

“This has been an incredibly difficult decision but the social media quotes from Kim Kardashian West, as well as the expressed interested of her family running the organization, has brought us to this decision.”

The statement continued, “Over the last five years we have put our students and our community first. We’d like to thank all of our supporters, and we assure you that our hearts have always been with the City of Chicago and we will continue to support youth in our future endeavors.

“We encourage Kim and Kanye to indeed pick up the baton of service.”

The controversy initially started after Rhymefest tweeted that West said “fuck the youth of Chicago” when he asked for help in rebuilding Donda’s House. He also said ‘Ye cared more about finishing his upcoming solo album than he did the non-profit started in his mother’s name.

The Donda’s House website is currently unavailable.
