Kanye West has had a rollercoaster of a weekend, one of which ended with the rapper being rushed to the emergency room after complaining that his sinuses were bothering him.

According to TMZ, the G.O.O.D. Music head honcho was taken to the ER at West Hills Hospital in the San Fernando Valley by wife Kim Kardashian-West, where he was diagnosed with the flu and released.

Ye had recently complained about his bout with sinus pressure via Twitter where he divulged that the pressure had been so severe mid-flight that it resulted in a cat scan.

“I had a sinus headache on a flight once and I got a fucking cat scan after because it was so bad. Whenever you’re feeling down bored irritated or disgruntled just say… thank god I don’t have a sinus headache … they feel like the episode of black mirror when the bee went into the guys ear.”

Jessenia Vice Gallegos is versatile. A Generation Iron Fitness Network and This Is 50 personality, she’s also the co-host of the Sincerely Podcast with Sirius XM’s Alyi V and actress Tahiry Jose.

I first met Vice Gallegos when I was hosting a top rated podcast at CBS back in 2015. What was admirable about the New Jersey native was her drive and her ability to balance her work.

Check Out Jessenia Vice Gallegos and Brandon ‘Scoop B Robinson on Scoop B Radio

As a leading Latina in the entertainment business, one thing that I’ve admired about Jessenia Vice as a young vet is her industry perspective and business acumen.

 Instagram has has exploded over the last four to five years.Vice Gallegos, was recently named one of Forbes Top 15 Influencers You Should Follow. That said, Vice Gallegos and I talked about young girls who actually want to model and get into the business.

Is it the only way to get seen? 

“Well I have to say that Instagram changed the game completely,” Jessenia Vice Gallegos told me on Scoop B Radio. ‘There is a science to it.”

She added:

“It’s hard for people that were getting bookings and getting paid and making it as an extra income to make any income. Because there will be girls that would either do it for free or will do it as a favor just so that [they can say]: ‘Hey you could hook me up for something bigger and better next time. I’ll do you this favor but make sure that the next thing comes around you think of me.’ And it makes it hard.”

Once voted Queen of the Kim Kardashian’s on an episode of the Tyra Banks Show., Vice was once the headliner of the Ms. Applebottom campaign in 2011. Vica can also sing and has modeled for Maxim and other major publications.  The growth is worth admiring. “My resume is so long,” Vice Gallegos told me.”

“It’s transitioned from being a model into video, into hosting and doing radio as well and now film and my project that I’m working on now is music so it’s tough to compete with that.”

After less than 2 months since the rapper’s onstage rant, there may be a sign of reconciliation in the future between Beyoncé and Kanye West, with a little help from Blue Ivy.

West, in his infamous rant in Sacramento before the cancellation of his tour, had basically claimed that Beyoncé had manipulated the results of the MTV Music Video Awards in her favor. He had said during his rant that he was “hurt because I heard that you said you wouldn’t perform unless you won Video of the Year over me and over “Hotline Bling.‘” His rant also included that there was some friction in his relationship with Jay Z as well, who had apparently failed to call after Kim Kardashian was robbed in Paris.

After that speech, word is that Blue Ivy might have had a hand in reconciling the performers. According to Us Magazine, both Kardashian and West went to Blue Ivy’s 5^th birthday party, though they left their own children at home. With this event taking place less than 2 months after West’s rant in Sacramento, hopefully the two couples took some time to talk things out while the birthday girl celebrated.

Following a series of questionable events that included his support of Donald Trump and the abrupt cancellation of remaining tour dates, Kanye West has reportedly been hospitalized in Los Angeles. Police responded to a welfare call early Monday afternoon; according to LAFD spokesman Brian Humphrey, “an adult male, described as medically stable, was taken to an area hospital for further assessment.” Other persons involved have not been revealed due to confidentiality.

Previous comments about JAY Z (and their subsequent rift) not-with-standing, Kanye’s dark week seemed to kick off last Thursday during the San Jose stop of his Saint Pablo tour, which saw him stating that — if he had voted in this year’s presidential election — he would have voted for Trump. He then followed that with a barely-three-song set in Sacramento a couple of days later, which (in addition to JAY Z) included direct shots at Beyoncé, Mark Zuckerberg and even Shia LaBeouf (for what it’s worth, a KiD CuDi reunion also took place that night). This was followed by several odd additions to his Instagram account, before the cancellation of a Los Angeles make-up show and — not long after — the remainder of his entire tour.

Yesterday saw much of the Kardashian clan in New York City at the Angel Ball to honour the late Robert Kardashian, Sr. During the event, Kris Jenner responded to to the tour cancellation, attributing the matter at hand to Kanye being “exhausted” and “really tired.” It was also reported that wife, Kim flew back to L.A. following the Angel Ball to tend to her husband.

Many of West’s peers have taken to social media in a show of support (or humor):

Notoriously outspoken hip-hop legend Kanye West just won’t let his beef with Taylor Swift die out. During a show at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville last Saturday, the 39 year old emcee performed his controversial “Famous” track three times in a row, which at one point even prompted the crowd to start chanting “F**k Taylor Swift”. After delivering the contentious lyrics “I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex/why? I made that b**ch famous”, he began one of his infamous rants on stage, declaring that “I need to hear that loud in Nashville”. He continued. “So many people told me, ‘You’ve got to take that line out of the song. You got to play it safe, but this is what rap music is. This is what art is. Saying how you feel. And this song is how I feel.”

West clearly isn’t about to retreat from his seven year long feud with the country star turned pop sensation, which began during the 2009 MTV Music Video Awards when he infamously crashed her acceptance speech. And just when we thought the two would finally put their differences aside, two months ago Kim Kardashian released footage that calls Taylor’s claims that she never approved of the “Famous” lyrics into question.  While Taylor has since released a post on Instagram defending herself, she has yet to make a public comment on the matter. You can watch footage of last Saturday’s show below, courtesy of twitter use Nabil.

Following the controversial release of his music video for the song “Famous,” Kanye West has returned with a visual for “Wolves.” This is Kanye’s second music video release off of his seventh studio album The Life of Pablo which was released back in February.

The “Wolves” video is a fashion forward, black-and-white sequence of clips that definitely goes hand-in-hand with Kanye West and Kim Kardashian West‘s part in the upcoming Fall/Winter Balmain campaign.

The Steven Klein directed and Olivier Rousteing creative directed video displays Kanye walking a runway as well as an array of models doing the same. At one emotional point in the video, you can see Kanye standing behind Kim as the couple share a few solemn tears.

It is noted that the track “Wolves” has been altered and edited quite a few times but the music video does feature Kanye’s most recent version of it.

Both Vic Mensa and Sia are featured in the visual as well as Kylie Jenner, Jourdan Dunn, Cindy Crawford and a few others.

Check out the music video below.
