Now Kim Kardashian Is Involved in Kanye West and Drake's Feud: 'Never Threaten…Our Family'


Just because Kanye West and Drake stopped throwing shade — at least in public forums —at each other a handful of months ago doesn’t mean they’ve reconciled. West made sure that everyone knew exactly that when he took to Twitter yesterday, where he called out Drake for everything from trying to clear a sample of one of his songs to texting Kris Jenner and “playing all these industry games.” Oh, right, and Kanye also suggested that Drake is “trying to take food out of [his] idol’s kids’ mouth” as in the three kids that West shares with Kim Kardashian.

West’s reigniting of their feud started when he tweeted a screenshot of a text message from someone named “Free.” In the text message, West was asked whether or not he wanted to approve Drake’s sample of his 808s & Heartbreak track “Say You Will.” (Drake used the sample in his 2009 So Far Gone mixtape track “Say What’s Real,” which is presumably due for a reissue on its 10th anniversary, as Billboard notes.) West didn’t immediately share his answer but he did tweet the screenshot of the request with the words, “This proves sh-t faker than wrestling.”

He then demanded an apology from Drake “for mentioning the 350s and trying to take food out [his] idol’s kids’ mouths.” West also revealed that he has been contacting Drake since his GOOD Music artist Pusha T entered into a feud with Drake, when Pusha T dropped the bombshell that the Toronto rapper has a secret son (which Drake later admitted to on his own album, Scorpion). “Been trying to meet with you for 6 months bro,” West tweeted. “You sneak dissing on [Travis Scott] records and texting Kris [Jenner] talking bout how’s the family.”

What is more hilarious: picturing Drake’s text thread with Kris Jenner or the fact that this whole time Kanye could have walked a few doors down to talk to Drake in person? (They both live in the same Hidden Hills enclave of Calabasas.) The verdict is out, but things quickly became less amusing when West brought up Drake’s child, Adonis Graham.

Apparently, Drake has been thinking that West is the one who informed Pusha T that he had a son — and West took the opportunity to set the record straight. “I told you I ain’t tell Pusha about your son,” he tweeted. “It’s all love bro bro but don’t play with me. You stay too close to be playing all these industry games bro. Sending purple emojis when I’m dealing with mental shit. I need my apologies now. Not through Scooter [Braun] either. Not through Travis [Scott]. No tough talk either. This ain’t about who could pay to have something done to somebody. This man to man bro. This been bothering me too long… Stop this already bro. You getting people hurt out here. And over what.”

Kanye’s call out actually worked because shortly after he tweeted that he had spoken to Drake. “Drake finally called,” he tweeted. “Mission accomplished.” One thing, however, didn’t get resolved: “By the way,” West tweeted of the sample Drake was hoping to get permission to use, “not cleared?.”

As for Drake’s response to all of this?

The drama doesn’t end there, though. Later in the night, West tweeted that Drake called “trying to threatened me.” Enter Kim. “@drake Never threaten my husband or our family,” she tweeted. “He paved the way for there to be a Drake.”

She continued, “My husband is the most brilliant person, the most genius person that I know. He has broken so many boundaries, everything from music, stage design, fashion and culture and will continue to change the world.”

So stay tuned — we have a feeling this isn’t the last of this saga.

Ivanka Trump Told Dr. Oz She's in a 'No-Income Family'


In an interview that aired Thursday, Ivanka Trump sat down with Dr. Oz to promote her political agenda and show America that her family is just like us. There was just one glaring issue: Her family is nothing, at all, like us.

To Trump’s credit, she spoke with Dr. Oz about the national need for more paid family leave and her own personal struggles with postpartum depression—issues that countless American women can relate to. But her talking points might have thrown viewers for a loop when Dr. Oz, referencing the fact that both she and husband Jared Kushner work for the president, said, “So you’re basically a dual income family.”

Trump replied with a laugh, saying, “Actually, we don’t take an income.” She laughed again and said, “So we’ve waived our salaries, so we are a no-income family right now.”

The audience applauded the first daughter’s statement—but there’s just one problem. Trump and Kushner may have nobly waived their White House salaries, but they’re still making plenty of money.

As The New York Times explained, despite their roles in the White House, both Kushner and Trump remain beneficiaries of their businesses, which hardly makes them a “no-income family.”

Trump maintains a financial stake in the Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C., The New Times noted. That hotel has drawn ire as the family and spokespeople—including one-time press secretary Sean Spicer—have reportedly “encouraged” diplomats and high-ranking international visitors to stay there or stop by for a visit to build better ties with the first family. Though it’s still unclear how much Trump will make from that particular hotel, Kushner’s financial disclosure forms, which include his wife’s ample assets, revealed that she earned somewhere in the market of $1 million and $5 million from the D.C. hotel between January 2016 and March 2017.

But wait, there’s more. Remember Trump’s recent book? As CNN noted, the first daughter was given a $787,500 advance from Penguin Random House for Women Who Work.

As for Trump’s husband, while Kushner has stepped down from an active role in his various companies (266 of them to be exact), he will still remain the beneficiary of the several trusts set up in his name.

As Larry Noble, a former general counsel and chief ethics officer for the Federal Election Commission told The New York Times, Kushner simply stepping down—but still benefiting—from his companies “is not sufficient.”

“While removing himself from the management of the businesses is an important step, he is still financially benefiting from how the businesses do,” Noble said. “This presents the potential for a conflict of interest. Given his level in the White House and broad portfolio, it’s hard to see how he will recuse himself from everything that may impact his financial interest.”

All told, the couple’s combined assets could total upward of $762 million, according to Business Insider. Actually not having an income is a harsh reality for many Americans—tens of millions of them, in fact—and isn’t something to giggle about on national television.
