“We were with Kim actually, you know, right before all of that,” he explained in the interview, referencing West being rushed to the UCLA Medical Center. “I was concerned by what I saw, so hopefully he’s getting some rest and some time to figure things out.”
Kim had been in New York City to attend the Angel Ball the night West was rushed to the hospital. However, she ended up missing the event to immediately fly back to Los Angeles to be with her husband.
E! News learned his hospitalization came after the Los Angeles Police Department responded to a disturbance call at 1:20 p.m. on Monday. Upon their arrival, we’re told “the disturbance call became a medical emergency” only.
According to NBC News’ sources, no criminal activity was involved and the decision to hospitalize the “Fade” rapper. Rather, it was for “his own health and safety.”

West has been making headlines quite a bit recently.
After arriving more than an hour late to his show in Sacramento on Saturday night, the 39-year-old told the crowd, “Beyoncé, I was hurt ’cause I heard that you said you wouldn’t perform unless you won Video of the Year over me and over ‘Hotline Bling.’ Now, don’t go trying to diss Beyoncé. She is great. Taylor Swift is great. We are all great people. We are all people. But sometimes we be playing the politics too much and forgetting who we are just to win. F–k winning. F–k looking cool. F–k being cool.”
He continued, “I’ve been sent here to give y’all my truth even at the risk of my own life, even at the risk of my own success, my own career. I’ve been sent here to give y’all the truth. Jay Z—call me, bruh. You still ain’t called me. Jay Z, call me, Jay Z; I know you got killers. Please don’t send them at my head. Just call me. Talk to me like a man.”
He then left the show after performing just three songs, shouting, “I’m on my Trump s–t tonight.”
Yul Edochie, the Nollywood actor, appears to have responded to advice from his brother Linc over his constant online display of his second wife Judy Austin.
Yul unveiled Judy as his second wife in April 2022. He also announced their first child together — to the dissatisfaction of May, his first wife.
Linc, in a recent interview on Kanayo O. Kanayo’s podcast, shared his thoughts on Yul’s decision to constantly flaunt Judy on social media.
He cautioned that the people praising Yul would quickly turn against him if issues arose in his second marriage.
“What is done is done… My father always says, ‘Take your marriage off social media,” he said.
In an Instagram post, Yul questioned why people were concerned about his constant display of Judy online, asking if they had paid for his data or if he was posting their wives.
The movie star also rained abusive words at his critics. Although he did not mention names, Yul concluded with a stern warning: “If my post offends you, hug transformer”.
“Ndi keep your marriage off social media kwenu! Ndi ala. You wey hide your marriage inside house, you still no divorce? Your wife no leave you? Psychos,” he wrote.
“Everybody na adviser for social media, your own life go dey scattter, you no fit fix am. But you sabi advise other people. If I post my wife a million times on my page, how it take concern you?
“Na you buy me data or na your wife I post? Idiots. The one wey dey sweet una na to wear black gather for person burial. One minute silence, the person go turn to hero.
“But when that person is alive being happy, his happiness go dey pain una. Thunder fire you. If my post dey offend you, hug transformer.”
Rapper Cardi B has responded to remarks made by Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who recently called her a “puppet” for the Kamala Harris campaign.
Musk shared a clip of Cardi B’s speech on X (formerly Twitter), writing, “Another puppet who can’t even talk without being fed the words. The Kamala campaign has no authenticity or true empathy.”
Cardi B fired back, saying, “I’m not a puppet, Elon. I’m a daughter of two immigrant parents that had to work their ass off to provide for me! I’m a product of welfare, I’m a product of section 8, I’m a product of poverty, and I’m a product of what happens when the system is set up against you… But you don’t know nothing about that. You don’t know not one thing about the American struggle… PS fix my algorithm.”
The exchange comes ahead of the U.S. presidential elections, scheduled for November 5, where Democratic candidate Kamala Harris is set to face Republican candidate Donald Trump.
Though Harris stands poised to potentially become the first Indian American president, a survey by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace suggests she may garner fewer votes from the community than President Joe Biden did in 2020.
In her rally speech, Cardi B spoke passionately about women’s rights, stating: “Just like Kamala Harris, I too have been the underdog, I’ve been underestimated, my success belittled and discredited. Let me tell you something: Women have to work ten times harder, perform ten times better, and still people question us, how we got to the top. I can’t stand a bully, but just like Kamala, I always stand up to one.”
Kcee responded with a series of intense posts, describing the tweet as “disrespectful” to his hard work and sweat.
He argued that no one has exclusive rights to the style, which celebrates Igbo culture and heritage.
He emphasized that his music authentically represents his heritage and refused to apologize for using the style.
“Stop trying to gatekeep Igbo culture. You’re not a Custodian. I’ve been in this game before you. It belongs to all. You don’t own this genre of music. My music celebrates our heritage, and I won’t apologize. In an ocean of things that matter. You’re like a needle. Get that right,” he wrote.
“People recognize authenticity. I’ll continue celebrating our culture unapologetically. Spend your energy on success, not diminishing mine.
“I’ve never been the type to go head to head, but I’m calling out this bullshit because I won’t be disrespected. No way. I’ve come too far for anyone to downplay my sweats and hard work.”
Stop trying to gatekeep Igbo culture. You're not a Custodian. I've been in this game before you It belongs to all. You dont own this genre of music. My music celebrates our heritage, and I won't apologize. In an ocean of things that matter. You're like a needle.
