Kanye West is practicing what he preaches. West has been in the hot seat for implying that someone like Donald Trump deserves to be hit with love, not hate. His love for Trump has made him an enemy of those that claim to guard the gates of Black culture. While West’s MAGA hat tactics, and his questionable comments about slavery, are far from coherent, at least he’s sticking to his newfound love-fueled persona. Snoop Dogg has been coming for Kanye West ever since the latter first donned the MAGA hat. Snoop has kept audiences laughing with his barbs at West,…
Despite Kanye West and President Trump’s increasingly chummy (and just plain baffling) relationship, West’s wife, Kim Kardashian, has spoken out numerous times about how she doesn’t agree with his political ideology. She previously said, for instance, how she “cried” and “fought” over West’s comments about slavery, and also asserted that West isn’t well-informed about the intricacies surrounding Trump’s administration. However, in a new interview with Richardson magazine, Kardashian admitted the men’s relationship has afforded her opportunities that wouldn’t be otherwise possible, so she’s just going to keep her head down and try to do good. “I am aware that Kanye…
By now, we all know Snoop Dogg isn’t a fan of a Donald Trump or anyone who backs him. So, when the D-O-Double-G set his sights on Kanye West for his unwavering support of 45, it wasn’t at all surprising. Now, ‘Ye has attempted to bridge the gap by posting a photo to Twitter of himself wearing a Snoop t-shirt — again. This time, he wrote “All love” in the caption. Snoop has been going after ‘Ye for awhile but it seemed he was ready to put it to rest earlier this month. On October 2, Snoop shared a video…

It’s been hard to find anything positive to say about Jose Mourinho or Manchester United in recent weeks, so let’s break the habit of the season. First, it would take someone particularly obtuse to blame him excessively for the melee at the end of United’s 2-2 draw with Chelsea. A victory had just been whipped from under his nose at his old club, after which Chelsea coach Marco Ianni had two tries at rubbing Mourinho’s nose in it. He can probably still expect a letter from the FA, but any draconian action would be harsh, particularly as he and Chelsea…
Pep Guardiola insists he had no concerns about starting Riyad Mahrez in Manchester City’s 5-0 victory over Burnley, despite his penalty miss in the goalless draw with Liverpool.
