Little Simz makes realness a life-or-death struggle on “Flood”

Don't look now, but Yung Lean could be flirting with a tradcath reinvention. His recent appearance on the hit viral series SubwayTakes, wearing a massive crucifix and extolling the virtues of a quiet family life and decrying the "Diddy-ness" of modern partying, reflect a broader cultural shift: what was once considered liberated is increasingly seen as depraved and hollow. It's disconcerting, even if the concerns are not entirely misplaced: the music industry is full of demons (not literal ones, conspiracy theorists, but close) who require more than just a bit of burning sage.

Kanye West questions if Cassie “extorted” Diddy with sexual assault case

Kanye West has suggested Cassie Ventura “extorted” Diddy with the sexual assault case she filed against the mogul in November 2023.Over a year ago, Ventura – Diddy’s ex-girlfriend and former signee – filed a lawsuit against the Bad Boy Records founder for physical assault and rape. The case was settled the following day despite Diddy denying the claims and, months later, CCTV footage of Diddy dragging, kicking and hitting Ventura in a LA hotel surfaced – lending credence to Ventura’s allegations. Diddy later apologised for his “inexcusable” behaviour in the aforementioned video.Last Thursday (February 20), West shared a string of now-deleted controversial tweets, including one where he wrote: “Did Cassie extort Puff?” – questioning the speed at which their case was settled.The Chicago rapper-producer received backlash for his idea.

Kanye West is producing more swastika apparel after claiming he’s “not a Nazi”

Kanye West has begun producing more apparel featuring swastikas, after recently saying he’s “not a Nazi”.Earlier this month the rapper came under fire for selling a white T-shirt with a large swastika emblem on the chest, listed as “HH-01” on his website – possibly a reference to the “Heil Hitler” chant.The site was later taken down by Shopify, though the online retailer later stated that the artist’s website was taken down due to the potential for fraud – not because it was selling a swastika t-shirt.West then took to X (formerly Twitter) to say he’s had the idea for the t-shirt for “over eight years”. It came alongside a string of highly controversial posts which saw him rescind his apology to the Jewish community for his past anti-Semitic remarks, and go on to declare himself “a Nazi” and write: “I love Hitler”, as well as praise billionaire and X owner Elon Musk as “the most lit person that [has] ever been on Twitter”, following the latter’s accusations of Nazism at Donald Trump’s presidential inauguration.On Wednesday night (February 19), the controversial rapper then seemed to backtrack on his earlier comments, taking to X to share that “after further reflection”, he’s “come to the realisation that I’m not a Nazi”.Now though, West has shared even more merchandise featuring the swastika symbol.
