Kanye West Erupts In Anger Firing Entire Staff After Failed Fashion Show


Kanye West and wife Kim Kardashian posing in bathroom for her Instagram page
 
Rapper Kanye West is known for his terrible temper. It has gotten him into legal trouble in civil and criminal court, over attacks on paparazzi and property destruction. West erupted in rage again when his latest Saint Pablo fashion show spectacularly failed. The minute I saw the clothes I knew it would be a flop. West isn’t really a fashion designer. He is a pretentious rapper who believes he is the best artist ever, when he can’t hold a candle to artists such as Michael Jackson, Bob Marley, Elvis and Whitney Houston, among others. 

I repeat what I have stated in previous article, thus far, the only rapper who has done a good and successful clothing line is Diddy. Champion tennis player Serena Williams has a nice fashion line as well, with good fabrics. However, I'm tired of certain other celebrities pretending they are fashion designers, just to claim they are something they really are not in any measure. There's so much more to fashion. Please, stop pretending. It's an insult to the people who are really doing it.

Kanye had ‘meltdown,’ fired entire staff after fashion
 
October 4, 2016 | 5:46pm - Kanye West had a “massive meltdown” and fired all his staff after his disastrous, much-maligned Yeezy fashion show, where models fainted and could barely walk in ill-fitting shoes during New York Fashion Week. An insider told us that the Yeezy staff seriously felt West’s wrath after his September fashion flop. He had his agent fire all 30 of his staff after the fashion show and got rid of his phone so people can only contact him via email,” an insider said. “He had a nervous breakdown after the show, and that’s what triggered it all.”

Beyonce Mocked Online For Not Understanding Tennis At Wimbledon And Cheering Too Late When Serena Won Her 22nd Title

 
 
Serena Williams

Singer Beyonce and her cheating husband Jay Z are two attention seekers. They go to public events for publicity and half the time don't know what's going on. This past Saturday was no different. The clueless couple attended the women's final at Wimbledon in England in support of tennis superstar, Serena Williams, who clinched the title in a sensational, hard fought victory. Congrats to Serena.

 
  Beyonce still not getting the fact Serena won and is sitting down looking confused

Beyonce to Jay Z: what happened? Did Serena get a free throw or a three pointer?
 
 
Beyonce's delayed reaction after everyone finished cheering
 
When Williams won, she collapsed to the ground in exhaustion and jubilation. However, Beyonce still didn't get it that Williams had won. Beyonce, who really isn't too bright, in what is not really a secret on social networking, is now being mocked for cheering too late in what is being referred to as a delayed reaction. After all these years of knowing Williams and attending a few tennis matches for publicity, Beyonce and Jay Z still don't understand the game.

'She don't know a thing about tennis!' Beyonce is mocked on Twitter over her hilarious 'delayed reaction' to Serena Williams' Wimbledon victory 

Published: 03:55 EST, 11 July 2016 | Updated: 10:14 EST, 11 July 2016 - Beyonce and Jay-Z were at SW19 supporting Serena Williams on Saturday. But when Williams won her match point, Beyonce didn't seem to notice. Star looked confused before finally rising to her feet as the penny dropped. Twitter was awash with comments about Beyonce's delayed reaction. Williams made tennis history, equalling Stefi Graf's 22-title record. 

It was a moment that propelled Serena Williams into tennis history books...but it seemed to pass the biggest star in the audience by. Beyonce, 34, joined husband Jay-Z and sports fans on Centre Court on Saturday afternoon to watch the women's world number one - and her close friend - Serena clinch her 22nd career title.

But it seems the global pop icon isn't exactly au fait with how you win a tennis match. When Serena hit the winning shot to defeat opponent Angelique Kerber 7-5, 6-3, the crowd leapt to its feet - but it took Queen Bey a little longer to register what had actually just happened. Moment of victory: Beyonce and her husband Jay-Z appear to be still engrossed in the game on tenterhooks while Serena Williams' family are about to launch themselves from their seats in joy as Serena wins.

What happened? While the rest of Serena's box rose to their feet as the 34-year-old world number one captured her 7th Wimbledon title, Beyonce looked a little confused. Earlier in the match; a braided Beyonce, sat next to husband Jay-Z had gestured her support for her friend...

Serena Williams And Drake Are Over Again As The Rapper Is Spotted With Another Woman


Drake and Serena a few weeks ago

Tennis player, Serena Williams and her on and off again boyfriend, rapper Drake, are off again. The two reunited for a few months this year, but have already broken up again. They previously dated in 2011. Drake is still picking women off Instagram. On Thursday night Drake was at the Toronto Raptors basketball game and she was seated a few seats behind him near courtside. Those tickets aren't cheap.

Lala was seated a few rows behind Drake in expensive seats at the game on Thursday

Drake is known for going on Instagram and sending women airplane tickets, flying them out to have sex with him for a few days, then dumping them like yesterday's trash until he's in their area again. Each woman falls for it, thinking they will be his new girlfriend, but they end up dumped. He just uses them for sex and in this day and age that is very dangerous due to HIV.

Twitter Blames Drake For Serena Williams Losing The U.S. Open But Is It His Fault

 

Serena Williams

People on the social networking website Twitter have launched a hashtag titled #BlameDrake, regarding the rapper Drake and his girlfriend, the top female tennis player in the world, Serena Williams, losing the U.S. Open in the semi-finals to Roberta Vinci, who went on to win the tournament. Williams was attempting to become the first woman since Steffi Graff to win all the Grand Slam tournaments in one calendar year. Williams was so close, just a couple matches away from said feat. However, it was derailed in her match against Vinci, who won 2-6, 6-4, 6-4.

As a joke, Twitter users blamed Drake for Williams' defeat, labeling him everything from a jinx to a bad luck charm. Some clearly view him as a distraction. However, to be fair, there were no reports of Williams and Drake partying or getting drunk. The two were spotted together once having dinner a few weeks ago. Since that time Drake  has been in her box at matches.

There are other distractions certain types of relationships can create to sports stars, when one dates someone who is promiscuous, a gold digger or has lecherous friends. But by all accounts, Drake has been trying to clean up his act regarding women and spending his time with Williams instead. Days prior to her loss on the court, Williams had a tough match against her sister, fellow champion, Venus Williams and was clearly still mentally and physically exhausted from the game.

Drake was visibly saddened by Williams' defeat. The two left the venue immediately after her post match interviews. That's how it goes in sports. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. However, as emotionally painful as it can be, it's not the end of the world.

Serena Williams just endured the biggest upset of her career — and everyone's blaming Drake

Tennis Pro Serena Williams lost the most heartbreaking match of her career Friday. Williams is the No. 1 player in the world, had won the last four Grand Slam tournaments, and was an enormous favorite against her opponent, Italian Roberta Vinci, ranked No. 43. After crushing Vinci in the first set 6-2, Williams went on to lose the next two sets 6-4, 6-4...

But the world isn't blaming Williams or Vinci for the loss. It's blaming Williams' love interest, hip-hop mogul Drake — basically insinuating that the rapper/singer is Williams' bad-luck charm...
Following the loss, people on Twitter were ruthless:

THIS IS WHY WE DON'T LET DRAKE HAVE NICE THINGS

Serena Williams Sixth Wimbledon Title Brings Racist Rhetoric


Serena Williams

When Venus Williams and Serena Williams first hit the tennis circuit, they faced racism in select U.S. states. The worst incident occurred at the Indian Wells tournament in California, where Serena's father Richard Williams and her sister, Venus Williams, were booed, jeered and called "nig*er" and "nig*ers" by members of the crowd as they walked to their seats. One man in the crowd, who was among the individuals calling Richard a "nigger" also stated to him, "I wish it was 75, we'd skin you alive" (Los Angeles race riots occurred in 1975).


Serena was booed and jeered from the moment she walked out on the court, with racial slurs spewing from people in the crowd. The 2001 incident was so bad, the sisters vowed never to play Indian Wells again and did not for over a decade. Make no mistake, it was racism. People referring to you and your family as "ni*gers" is a clear indication of that. They should not have been subjected to such terrible treatment.

Derogatory, racially charged statements were made about them by opponent, Martina Hingis, who stated, "Many times they get sponsors because they are black. And they have had a lot of advantages because they can always say, 'it's racism.' They can always come back and say, 'Because we are this color, things happen'" and "I think they've been treated with kid gloves...People have been afraid to criticize them because they don't want to be called racist." In another interview Hingis stated people (in tennis) only let the Williams sisters get away with things because they are black. Coincidentally, Hingis was banned from tennis for two-years over using cocaine.


Wimbledon men's champion Novak Djokovic and women's champion Serena Williams

Fast-forward to this past weekend where Serena Williams won Wimbledon for the 6th time. Some were proud of her, but there were also negative, racially based statements made online. Race has no place in sports. There are gifted athletes of all races from many countries, who have done exceptionally well.


Serena Williams and Michael Jordan are black American athletes who have done very well in their chosen sport. Michael Phelps is a white American athlete who has done very well in his sport of swimming. Pele (Brazilian), Lionel Messi (Argentinean) and Cristiano Ronaldo (Portuguese) are Latin men who have done very well in football (soccer). Stanley Matthews and  Bobby Charlton are white British football (soccer) players who are legends for having done well in their field. Usain Bolt is a black Jamaican sprinter, who has set many world records and won gold medals, doing very well in his sport.


The aforementioned individuals are a broad cross-section of people of different races and nations, who have excelled in sports. At the end of the day they are humans first and foremost. Sports is not about racial, national or global domination. It is supposed to be about athletes doing what they love and spectators enjoying the respective games.

Town Of Staines Renames To Distance Itself From Sacha Baron Cohen Character

Sacha Baron Cohen as "Ali G"

The British town of Staines in Surrey, has officially changed its name to Staines-upon-Thames, to get away from Sacha Baron Cohen's character Ali G and his negative use of their city in his television show and film. I can't say I blame them. Surrey is a very nice place, but when you have someone using a town in your county as the backdrop for idiocy, it can leave a stigma. Cohen has done the same to foreign nations as well, angering their people.

In America, groups like NWA placed a stigma over the city of Compton, California, in the 1980s, leading the world to believe it is the most violent place on earth. However, tennis stars, Venus Williams and Serena Williams are from Compton and have done great things domestically and internationally in tennis, winning many prestigious awards.

In short, stereotyping people and places is not a good thing to do and entertainers need to be mindful of their deeds in trashing or mocking places.

Serena Williams Suffers Life Threatening Embolism


Serena Williams

Tennis champion, Serena Williams, suffered a life threatening embolism this week, resulting in hospitalization. Williams sustained a leg injury last year, which required her to wear a cast. It is believed the embolism formed during this time. A hematoma was found in her lungs, which created respiratory distress.

Williams has been placed on a course of blood thinners, which could end up being administered for a long time, depending on the severity of the situation. Blood clots are dangerous, as they can turn fatal rather quickly. Therefore, it is imperative to receive proper medical treatment and the corresponding medications as soon as possible.

Williams has achieved much on and off the court. There needn't be any rush to return to tennis to prove anything, as you are thought of by many as the best of all time. The Judiciary Report encourages Williams to take as much time off as needed and wishes her a speedy recovery.

Picking up the pieces of a broken life can be devastating and difficult. In our search for answers, we sometimes become discouraged and even depressed. A broken man or woman is not a whole one.
