Ye Dreams Of Apologizing To Former Friend And Collaborator JAY-Z
This past Saturday (May 31), he wrote 'All my dreams have been about apologizing to Jay Z' in a now-deleted post on X. Why he deleted the tweet is unclear, but it was par for the course as he has deleted many tweets with seemingly important statements this year. Some of his deleted tweets, specifically about Hov's children, are likely why he feels guilty about their falling out and wants to apologize at all.
'WAIT HAS ANYONE EVER SEEN JAY Z AND BEYONCES YOUNGER KIDS,' he wrote on X in March. 'THEYRE RETARDED. NO LIKE LITERALLY. AND THIS IS WHY ARTIFICIAL INSEMINATION IS A BLESSING. HAVING RETARDED CHILDREN IS A CHOICE.' He eventually deleted the tweets, not because he felt bad about them, but because he didn't want to lose his account on the app.
'I NEED EVERYONE TO KNOW THAT I TOOK THE POST ABOUT JAY Z AND BEYONCE'S FAMILY DOWN AND JERRY LORENZO'S FAMILY DOWN BECAUSE THERE WAS A POSSIBILITY OF MY TWITTER BEING CANCELLED BECAUSE IM A GOOD PERSON.' Ye wrote in a follow-up tweet. 'I TOOK IT DOWN LIKE DOWN SYNDROME. GET IT. AM I RIGHT. F**K THE WORLD. REAL TALK. F**K EEEEVVEEERREEE BODY.' He later said that neither Hov nor anyone else has power over him, and evidently, his next series of tweets was meant to prove that very idea.
'AT LEAST JAY Z AND BEYONCÉ GET TO RAISE THEIR RETARDED A** KIDS,' The Chicago producer added. 'AINT NO CELEBRITY EVER SAID NOTHING TO COME TO MY AID WHEN IT CAME TO THESE WHITE WOMEN TAKING MY KIDS. CAUSE THEY WAS MAD I WAS WEARING TRUMP HAT. F**K JAY Z AND HIS WHOLE FAMILY. ESPECIALLY HIS SHOOTERS. AND NOW THAT YOU THINK JAY Z PU**Y A** MADE ME TAKE IT DOWN I GOT TO DOUBLE DOWN.'
Neither Jay-Z nor Beyoncé has commented on Ye's harsh statements. Given all that has occurred over the last few years, it would be difficult to imagine Hov being willing to return to any form of friendship. Nonetheless, the duo have more than enough legendary contributions to music in their run together, namely their 2011 album Watch The Throne. Listen below.

The Clipse Have Surprising Reaction To Justin Bieber Seemingly Shading Their New Album
Justin Bieber shook up the internet when he posted an Instagram story dissing Clipse after both acts released their new albums on the same day. The Virginia duo recently reacted to the supposed shade. 'I don't know if you clicking something, don't know if you reading it or not,' Malice said during their appearance on Big Boy's Neighborhood. 'I mean, people can be very specific if they want to be, but what does it mean to me? Nothing. We doing what we doing out here. The fans love it, you bringing the music back. Real hip-hop.' The 52-year-old resolved that he would give Bieber the 'benefit of the doubt.' Pusha T added that the Canadian singer likely didn't fully look at the post and was more focused on it being 'favorable' toward his album. 'We've all done it,' he said. Ultimately, the Let God Sort Em Out rappers were more focused on people's approval of their latest LP in comparison to a blockbuster release from the pop superstar. 'This is street hip-hop,' he stated. 'Look how far streethip-hop has [come]. Like look at what it's being measured up against.' Watch below. The 31-year-old surprised the world when he announced his new album SWAG would come out two weeks ago (Friday, July 11). Many people theorized that Def Jam was looking to overshadow their former artists' highly anticipated reunion album, and the assumed tension grew in fans' eyes when the 'Daisies' singer shared a particular Instagram story. Kerwin Frost tagged him in a post praising his new effort, writing, 'Justice is served @lilbieber emptied the clip. THIS IS THE ONLY ALBUM THAT MATTERS RIGHT NOW. This album is way better then the @clipse. @clipse is for bitter grown men who collect kaws dolls and shop at kith and union.' Biebs reposted the story, and many people did not recognize that it was a repost, causing more discourse on the internet. Nonetheless, Clipse are riding a wave of positivity as Let God Sort Em Out debuted at No. 4 on the Billboard 200 and sold 118,000 album-equivalent units in its first week. Bieber's SWAG debuted at No. 2 and sold 163,000 units. Listen to both albums below. More from What Are Clipse's First-Week Sales Projections For Their New LP 'Let God Sort Em Out'?

Why Are All the Celebrities Suddenly Wearing Merch?
"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links." Last month, Pope Leo XIV stepped out in Vatican City in his white papal cassock and a black Chicago White Sox hat. The funny, relatable, unexpected moment put the cherry on top of a trend I had been noticing and trying to deconstruct for some time: merch is back in the cultural sphere. The reason why may not be so superficial. During awards season, Bad Bunny wore the same 'Saint Barth West Indies' tourist cap with almost every look—even on the red carpet. Around the same time, Jennifer Lawrence styled her red mesh flats with a Twilight Saga hat and Dua Lipa soaked up the sun in a swimsuit from her own Radical Optimism Tour merch shop. During the NBA Playoffs, Timothée Chalamet was the New York Knicks's No. 1 fan in a string of sporty fits that repped the team's logo and colors, while partner Kylie Jenner followed his lead and even proved she's the world's best girlfriend in Knicks-themed lingerie. Some weeks ago, Britney Spears debuted a surprise merch collab with Balenciaga, and Jay-Z stepped out in Paris wearing merch from wife Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter Tour. Earlier this month, Anne Hathaway wore a pair of $1,395, jeans with a baseball cap from Bruce Springsteen's merch shop ($51), and Madonna stepped out in New York City wearing Spears's Balenciaga-designed merch. Book merch is also having a moment. Model Kaia Gerber has repped tees from New York City-based McNally Jackson Books, and her ex Austin Butler has stepped out carrying a tote from the same bookstore. When we think of merch, we often think of sports team logos or commercial merchandise advertising a movie, an album, or an artist. But there also exists a strain of political merch which, rather than expressing fandom, expresses personal political ideologies. This kind of statement clothing, from organizations supporting human rights—such as the Human Rights Campaign, March for the Movement, and CHNGE—has also been making the rounds over the past couple of years, amid the world's grim political tensions. Recently, Pedro Pascal made waves when he stepped out in a 'Protect the Dolls' shirt in support of the trans community—which he styled with a New York baseball cap featuring upside-down text. (Merch on merch.) Of course, celebrity stardom paired with statement-making merch makes for a walking billboard—in this case, one for a good cause. Traditional merch—like the Yankees hat every New Yorker has in their closet—has always been around, but it was really Virgil Abloh who pushed merch into the high fashion sphere when he designed the moody Yeezus tour shirts for Kanye West in 2013. Pop stars including Beyoncé, Rihanna, and Justin Bieber followed suit, tapping fashion brands to collaborate for their own tour merch, all which quickly sold out. With trends functioning as they do, merch went from irrelevant to incredibly stylish to overkill in just a few years, and in 2024, GQ declared it dead. But there's no shortage of celebrities in merch in 2025, and I think this time around, the moment is a bit different. Wearing merch these days isn't about getting our claws on the latest trend or tapping into a newfound nostalgia for our dads' decades-old wardrobes, but rather suggests a deep craving for community and personal identity. Celebrity stylist Alexandra Grandquist, who works alongside her sister, Mackenzie Grandquist, explains that repping a piece that champions a cause you support, a team you're a fan of, or a niche book shop you frequent adds an individualized touch to a look—and in a time of endless options, of course we're all hungry for a little more individuality. 'It's an identity that you're sharing. It shows people what you're interested in, kind of like a walking billboard—a conversation starter,' the stylist says. 'It's a good way to connect with people and show your interests without having to talk.' Unlike in the 2010s, the tour merch being worn now is affordable and easy to access, something which shows a desire—from the artists' part—to break down barriers and let people in. Something like Beyoncé's 'Levii's' T-shirt in collaboration with Levi's ($45) is subtle, but instantly adds that if-you-know-you-know element to any outfit. Similarly, Shakira's tour merch with Hard Rock Cafe ($26.60) has been in high demand as she continues her shows; some pieces don't even have her face printed on them, but if you're a Shakira fan and see someone wearing them, you can instantly relate. 'It's also more personal than just wearing a random T-shirt or a Gucci logo T-shirt, you know? It's a little bit cooler,' Alexandra says. The Grandquist sisters constantly source vintage sports teams and music group merch ('it's more faded, it has more character than most of the merch that they're making right now') for their clients, which include Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott. And wearing merch automatically makes your part of a specific community—which, in times of turmoil, is something we are all desperate for. 'People are craving authenticity and a real way to express what they're about,' Bryan Escareño, the creative director of Los Angeles-based brand Amor Prohibido, says. 'Merch, at its best isn't just a logo on a tee—it's a piece of a story, a wearable statement. It's like saying, 'This is what I connect with, this is part of my world.' In my work with Amor Prohibido, storytelling is everything—taking my experiences, our community's experiences, and molding them into art.' The same sense of belonging that comes with wearing entertainment-world merch also applies to merch from political candidates, humanitarian initiatives, and LGBTQIA+ organizations, all which have become increasingly visible in the United States during Donald Trump's divisive second term. Escareño, who recently released limited-edition merch collection with Dos Equis and American regional Mexican band Fuerza Regida, says, 'Merch is a powerful connector. It's a visual cue that says, 'I see you, you're part of my tribe.'' He adds, 'Merch fosters that sense of belonging, of sharing a perspective. I think there's a deeper hunger for genuine connection and self-expression. In a world that's so fast and often filtered, wearing merch is a tangible way to plant your flag and demonstrate what you stand for.'

Tyler, The Creator 'Stop Playing With Me' Video Features Cameos From LeBron James And Clipse
Tyler, The Creator hit the ground running with his new album Don't Tap The Glass. The 34-year-old rapper shared a music video for the track 'Stop Playing With Me' with cameo appearances from LeBron James, Maverick Carter, and Clipse. The visual opens with the Hawthorne, Calif. rapper sporting an all-red outfit and flanked by two speakers while dancing in a room with papers scattered all over the floor. 'When I get to snappin' like doo-wop/ Really got the juice like 2Pac/ Shawty got a strong jaw, might chew rock/ Got me comin' out the blue like new cop,' he raps. Later, he raps about catching a plane with Carter and James as the two appear beside him. After a quick transition, they vanish, and in comes Pusha T and Malice while Tyler raps, 'Thank the gods I'm nothing like you.' The Virginia duo stood calmly, almost as if they were uninterested in the former Odd Future member dancing crazily, each time they were seen in the video. Bron and Mav, however, got some light dance moves off and did their unique handshake in their subsequent appearances. Watch the full video above. 'Stop Playing With Me' is the midway point of Tyler's newest album, Don't Tap The Glass. The 10-track LP has no listed features, though 'Big Poe' features vocals from Pharrell and a sample of Busta Rhymes' chorus on 'Pass The Courvoisier.' Daisy World also appears on 'Don't You Worry Baby.' Glass marks the Grammy winner's ninth studio album, and second in under a year following Chromakopia from October 2024. It is also his second consecutive album to come out on a Monday morning. In promoting the LP, Tyler tweeted 'yall better get them expectations and hopes down this aint no concept nothing' on Sunday (July 20). He also wrote that it was 'made for body movement.'
