Kanye West Remains Silent On Tour Cancellation

So far, Kanye West has remained silent on the announcement of the “Fame Kills” tour being cancelled. Knowing my luck, he just posted a response on his blog. But as I am writing this, he hasn’t.

His silence is surprising because he usually writes there all the time to responses or other things that concern him. Nothing yet as questions loom.

Did he want the tour to be cancelled? Did 50 Cent who recently called it the “Gay Tour” have anything to do with his decision? Was he always wanting to back out? Are the rumors of him going to rehab true?

Last weekend at Common’s fund raiser concert where Kanye performed to a electric crowd happy to see him, we hear that Kanye turned into a diva over drinks and food not being offered to him and being upset he had to ask before he got it.  Maybe they should called it the “Diva Tour” and when is Kanye going to grow up?

Listen, we all know what Kanye did at VMA’s was just Kanye being Kanye. It was blown out of proportion even though it was hella rude.  Are we forgetting his controversial Rolling Stone cover where he came off as Jesus Christ even though he said that was not how he meant it?  You ever seen Kanye’s MTV Diary?  He has been doing this stuff for a while. Even if it is Kanye being Kanye, after a while, people do get tired of it.

He is talented without a doubt musically. His people skills totally suck and you can’t argue that. What I do call into question is what he tries to accomplish off the stage and out of the studio.  Straight up, Kanye is an artist at war with himself and has a lot of personal issues he needs to get a handle of.

In a few words or less, I am calling Kanye out. I am awaiting your response. Don’t be silent. If you get pissed, just call me a bunch of names playing on my name. Other people do it. It makes them think they are cool. But Kanye, do us all a favor and stop being silent and let out that inner bitch of what really happened. You know you want to.

So what do you think of Kanye’s reaction to the tour cancellation?-Dr.FB

Video: Fans Go Wild For Surprise Guest Kanye West

Posted in Celebrity Gossip, Celebrity News, Entertainment, Music on September 28th, 2009 by drfunkenberry

Always one of the first to dismiss bad behavior when it comes to music, Hollywood did that Saturday night for Kanye West. It was rumored for a while that either Kanye or Jay-Z would show up at the Palladium but it was West, who got the crowd poppin’.

Straight up, he is the jackass that our celebrity President called him for his actions at the MTV Video Music Awards and Taylor Swift 2 weeks ago.  All I care about is his music and his performance. He still has no class but this performance is hot.

What do you think?-Dr.FB

Common has been scratched as the lead in the Green Lantern film.  For almost a year and a half it seemed that he had the role as “John Stewart” locked up.

Something has happened recently and the other person up for the role was Tyrese.  Not sure if Tyrese is in the lead or they may be bringing someone else in. 

Common would have been a good choice but now we will never know.-Dr.FB

So why was Ms. Badu late to her free concert at the SXSW on Saturday night? While a huge crowd of fans stood in line at The Auditorium Shores Stage in Austin, Texas, she was at home ‘Twittering’ about the stalker that was standing outside her home.

Fans where eager to see Erykah and her new band,”The Cannabinoids”.  So when fans where asked if they knew why she was late, the majority of them didn’t know and really didn’t care as long as at some point she arrived and performed.  With that said, she finally showed, but not before she twittered one last time. “Poor chic is apparently sick.  I feel so awful.  Police pepper sprayed her and cuffed her.” Badu wrote, according to EW.Com.
Immediately after her show she headed out to the G.O.O.D Show at the Levi Fader Fort. Erykah shared the stage with Common and Kanye West for a HOT freestyle session.
