Put the champagne on ice! As if the excitement of his baby daughter North West wasn’t enough, Kanye West has hit number one in the charts this week with his new album ‘Yeezus’ I guess the long stay away from Kim was time well spent!
Despite some of his lyrics on the album raising eyebrows, the controversial rapper has managed to barrel to the top, consciously shoving J Cole’s album ‘Born Sinner’ further down the chart list. However we have to give J Cole a round of applause for plucking up the courage to face Kanye.
A brave move I’d say but a smart one also because here at Pride we think J Cole’s album has a far better sound than Kanye’s. It’s an album that flees the song skipper.
Kelly Rowland’s album was also released this week – I hope she was prepared for a hefty blow. The sultry R&B singer who’s a judge on X-Factor USA has long been looming in the shadows of Beyoncé and it seems now it will be in the gloomy, bleak shadows of Beyoncé’s hubby’s best mate Kanye, look’s like she can’t get away from this clique!
Kim pops a baby and Kanye pops the question!
Now that Kim Kardashian has finally popped out her bundle of joy the only thing left for Kanye West to do is to ‘pop’ the question. Rumour has it the chart topper has already asked the reality star to marry him days after she gave birth to their baby daughter North West (North Wezzy’ anyone?)
Although her 72-day marriage to Kris Humphries was a flop, one can’t lie that the wedding ceremony was a step up from sophisticated. However with an overshadowing ego like Kanye’s, I’m sure we can expect something astronomical and just as peerless as the name of his firstborn!
Kim’s previous marriage to the callow Kris was a leaning tower waiting to fall and an ending all of us could pretty much pre-conceive however the fate of Kanye and Kim’s relationship seems too far for eye distance to judge. Apart from Kanye’s apparent controlling attitude towards Kim, he was mostly M.I.A whilst Kim was pregnant. Now baby’s born will he be around for the sleepless nights, night feeds and fiddly nappy changes? Hmm me thinks not!
