Kardashians

The Kardashian family has been called many things, flashy, underhanded, fame loving. But the one thing they can’t be called is cheap.

On Tuesday morning Kris Jenner announced via Instagram she and her daughters Kourtney, Kim, Khloe, Kendall and Kylie are donating an impressive $500,000 to the relief efforts after Texas was devastated by Hurricane Harvey.

The Keeping Up With The Kardashians producer noted she had taken on Kevin Hart’s Sunday challenge to donate at least $25,000 to charities helping the victims.

‘I’m a daughter of two immigrants,’ Cardi B rants as Elon Musk calls her ‘puppet’

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.”

‘We’re not on same level’ | ‘Copy copy’ — Kcee, Flavour trade cryptic jabs on X

Kcee appeared to have fired back at fellow singer Flavour for allegedly insinuating that he copied his music style.

“Copy copy akaria,’ Flavour had written via X without mentioning names.

Flavour’s subtle dig on Sunday sparked controversy, with many assuming Kcee was the target.

This was due to Kcee’s recent single mirroring Flavour’s signature sound.

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.”

Although Flavour has yet to respond, the development has sparked reactions on X.

Nigerian Youtuber Korty EO has faced backlash on social media for calling Davido and his team out for refusing to permit her to release an interview.

On October 26, 2024, Korty took to X to post a snippet of the much anticipated interview with Davido, informing her followers that she was going to release it soon.

She wrote, “Randomly decided to rework my video with @davido i’ll drop it tomorrow by 1pm.”

However, the next day, she expressed her frustration regarding the fact that the singer’s team refused to allow her to release the video, even after she re-edited it.

“They agreed that i should re-edit this video and now have said i must not post the video for reasons i still don’t understand. i am not scared of anyone, but i am wise enough to stay out of battles i’m not equipped for.”

Her post was not well received by many X singers, including Davido’s fans who promptly dug out an old post of hers where she voiced her prayer to interview the singer one day.

One X user said to her, “You putting it out like they begged you…you literally asked them to be on your show.”

Korty clapped back saying, “ode they reached out to me. but you can’t relate cos all you’ve ever done in your miserable life is beg & tweet like the ignorant fool you are.”

In another post, Korty stressed that artistes should refrain from coming on her show if they would eventually tell her not to release the interview.

She wrote,”iIve filmed so many artists who eventually tell me not to post the video. if you don’t want people to see you for who you are, please do not come on my show. stop wasting my time.”

“It’s beautiful that the greats recognize me, but my approach can be too intense for some of them, and thats ok, we will charge it to the game, thank the lord & keep working” she added.

Following the backlash she received, she posted, “I no rant again, love u all for supporting me even on the days i’m going crazy.”
