Taylor Swift had Kanye West booted from Super Bowl

The Super Bowl LVIII sideshow known as Taylor Swift could have been extra spicy had the singer not flexed her muscles and had a rival booted from the venue.

At least, that’s according to former New York Giants wide receiver Brandon Marshall.

During a Monday episode of I Am Athlete’s “Paper Route” podcast, Marshall claimed to have inside knowledge of an alleged incident between Taylor and rapper Kanye West that played out before kickoff.

Marshall said that West purchased a pair of tickets for him and his wife, Bianca Censori, that were right in front of Swift’s luxury suite, which had been paid for by Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.

After finding out about West’s plan, Swift allegedly made some phone calls and had West booted from Allegiant Stadium.

“Kanye West pulls up to Vegas. Kanye West buys a ticket right in front of her booth,” Marshall said. “He had a mask on with his logo on the mask — typical Kanye. Taylor Swift gets (expletive) off. She boom boom makes a call or two. Everybody’s involved. He gets kicked out the stadium. He was trying to leverage her celebrity.”

Despite Marshall’s claims that West was kicked out of the stadium, he was seen several times throughout the night.

The Swift-West beef dates back to 2009 when Kanye interrupted her acceptance speech for Best Female Video at the MTA VMA’s, famously telling the audience that it was Beyoncé who deserved the award instead. The feud was reignited in 2016 when West crudely included a lyric about Swift in his song “Famous.”

At the time, West claimed Swift had given her permission to use the lyric, which she later denied. A phone call between the two was leaked, at which point Swift alleged that it was illegally recorded and manipulated.

“Trash takes itself out every single time,” she said at the time.

Neither Swift nor West’s representatives have confirmed or denied Marshall’s claim.

Kanye West is ‘weird’ about his teeth, once had favorite dentist give lessons to other dentist

Amid news that Kanye West has had permanent titanium dentures bolted into his mouth, a source close to the rapper tells Page Six that he’s been notoriously “weird” about his teeth for some time.

In fact, they say that on one occasion the “Life of Pablo” star had his favorite dentist give pointers on how to work on his chompers.

“He brought one dentist to another dentist office to show him how to work on his teeth,” marveled a longtime acquaintance of the troubled musician-turned-fashion-designer. The insider says that the famously particular star generally has up to a dozen dentists in his rotation at any given moment, and has had many, many grills installed, made over and removed over the years.

Another insider speculated that his obsession with his teeth may have begun with his famous car accident in 2002 which left his jaw shattered. (He famously recorded his first hit, “Through The Wire” with his jaw still wired shut.

The “Heartless” hitmaker’s $850,000 implants — known as “fixed prosthodontics” — are a type of “experimental dentistry” that was designed entirely by the rapper.

“They are, as the name suggests, fixed and permanent,” a source exclusively told Page Six Thursday. “This goes way beyond veneers or grills. And his particular implant is quite unlike anything that has been done before.”

Our insider explained West worked alongside the self-proclaimed “Father of Diamond Dentistry,” Dr. Thomas Connelly, to “manufacture” and “fit” the dentures, which also included palladium and platinum materials.

“All that said … his teeth weren’t removed,” the source added. West debuted the metallic mandibles Wednesday when he posted picture of Instagram to show off his metal implants, comparing himself to the James Bond villain Jaws — who had similar metal teeth.

Kim Kardashian look-alike on Drake’s latest cover art revealed

Yes indeed, that was just a Kim Kardashian look-alike.

Drake sent Twitter into a frenzy Thursday after releasing the cover art for his latest single, “Search & Rescue,” which seemingly features an image of him and the “Kardashians” star in matching motorcycle helmets.

However, TMZ confirmed Friday that the mystery woman was actually an artist named Lilah, who just so happens to bare a striking resemblance to the reality TV star.

Although it seemed unlikely that Kardashian would pose with ex-husband Kanye West’s frenemy, Drake did sample her voice in the song.

Fans previously suspected it was Kim Kardashian given the fact Drake used an audio clip of her in the song.

In fact, Drake savagely used a clip of Kardashian speaking about her divorce from West on the 2021 series finale of “Keeping Up With the Kardashians.”

“I didn’t come this far just to come this far and not be happy. Remember that,” the reality star, 42, said in the audio.

Around that same time, West accused Drake of acting like he had hooked up with his now ex-wife — which she denied.

“It’s like somebody throwing a marble and hiding their hand,” West added on “Drink Champs” at the time.

Drake’s decision to reignite the feud shocked many fans given the fact the pair seemed to bury the hatchet in November 2021.

Fans suspected that Drake used a Kardashian look-alike to upset rival Kanye West.

At the time, West posted a photo with Drake alongside music executive J. Prince in Toronto. He captioned the post with a “dove” emoji to emphasize the peace made between them.

However, on Drizzy’s newest album, “Her Loss,” the rapper inferred that the meeting meant nothing to him.

“Linking with the opps, b—h, I did that s—t for J. Prince,” he rapped on the track “Circo Loco.”

Drake and West have beefed for years amid rumors the “Nice For What” rapper slept with Kardashian.

To which West seemingly replied in a since-deleted tweet last year.

“Enough already I done gave this man his flowers multiple times. Let’s really see who [our] real opps are in this music game. Imagine all the rappers on the same side and everyone cleaning up each other’s contracts. It’s kingdom time. Love Drake,” Ye wrote.

Meanwhile, Drake’s father, Dennis, has tried to reassure fans that “it’s just a song” and his son is “not trolling” West.

North West imitates her mom Kim Kardashian in new TikTok video

Her mommy has so many talents she can’t even begin to name them.

In a new TikTok video, Kim Kardashian’s eldest daughter, North West, 9, imitated her mom while making homemade pasta with a friend.

On their joint mom and daughter TikTok account, @kimandnorth, the little girl revealed that her mom “hates” crumbs, especially if any get into her bed.

“My mom hates to have this in bed,” West said as she kneaded the crumbly homemade pasta dough in the third part of the four-part TikTok series and jokingly sprinkled some over her head.

“She’d be like, ‘Oh my gosh, you put this crumby crumby crumbs in my bed, you can’t sleep in my bed!’” West imitated, using a funny voice filter.

West then explained that she would say that she didn’t even want to sleep in her mom’s bed anyway.

West announced that her mom, Kim Kardashian, does not like getting crumbs in her bed.

“So, she doesn’t like crumbs in her bed,” she concluded of her mom.

West’s father is rapper Kanye West, who married Kardashian in 2014. Kardashian filed for divorce from the “All Falls Down” singer in 2021 after seven years of marriage, and their split was finalized last November. West has already moved on, “marrying” Yeezy designer Bianca Censori in a non-legal ceremony last month.

West was ordered to pay Kardashian $200,000 per month in child support, according to the divorce filing obtained by The Post.

Kardashian and West share four kids together — North, 9, Saint, 7, Chicago, 5, and Psalm, 3.


On the mom and daughter’s joint TikTok account, the two often recreate viral video trends together.

On Kim and North’s joint TikTok account, the two often make funny videos together, including ones of them doing viral dances together and other popular trends on the app, like when West dressed up as her father and the two sang to his song, “Bound 2.”

During a December 2022 appearance on the “Angie Martinez IRL” podcast, Kardashian spoke more about co-parenting with the designer and admitted that she often “protected him” for the sake of her children.

“I definitely protected him and I still will in the eyes of my kids for my kids,” she said at the time. “In my home, my kids don’t know anything that goes on in the outside world … I’m holding on by a thread.”

“I had the best dad, and I had the best memories and the greatest experience and that’s all I want for my kids as long as they can have that,” Kardashian said of her late father, Robert Kardashian. “That’s what I would want for them. If they don’t know the things that are being said or what’s happening in the world, why would I ever bring that energy to them? That’s really heavy grown-up s–t that they’re not ready to deal with.” 

In the past, West has been known to make headlines for his social media posts. In December, the singer wrote a series of harmful anti-semitic tweets that were later removed from the platform. Twitter owner Elon Musk also suspended his account.

He continued his extremely offensive rant with InfoWars host Alex Jones just days later, praising Hitler and spewing more anti-semitic tropes.

West was later dropped by a number of brands including Adidas, who he had been releasing his Yeezy sneaker line with for nearly eight years.

Kanye West says he’s running for president in 2024

Kanye West said he’s planning a 2024 presidential run and has tapped far-right provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos in a video posted to Twitter Sunday.

The video, in which West says Yiannopoulos is working on his campaign, comes as the rapper’s Twitter account was restored after he was banned from the app in the wake of vile, anti-Semitic remarks he made last month.

“This is Milo right here, working on the campaign,” West, 45, said in the video posted by “PatriotTakes” Twitter account.

“Is that an announcement?” one of the men asks as they both laugh.

“I guess it is,” Yiannopoulos — who most recently worked as an unpaid intern for right-wing firebrand Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene — replied chuckling. “Thanks, I accept.”

The cameraman then asked West, “So you are running?”

The news comes after Kanye West’s Twitter account was restored after he was banned from the app following his anti-Semitic remarks last month.

“Yes,” Ye answered with a laugh. “It’s simple ’cause ain’t nobody can tell me, you know, ‘you should say this, you shouldn’t say that,’ you know? It’s just we’re moving towards the future.”

West and Yiannopoulos have a shared experience of making horrific remarks and quickly being slammed by the public.

West, who changed his legal name to Ye, tweeted about going “death con 3 On JEWISH PEOPLE” in early October and was subsequently banned from the social media platform.

Earlier Sunday, the musician-turned-designer posted a message to his Twitter profile to see if his account was reinstated since Elon Musk took over the company.

“Testing Testing Seeing if my Twitter is unblocked,” West wrote to his nearly 32 million followers.

Musk, who bought the company for $44 billion, said last month that West’s account was restored before the acquisition and he was not consulted beforehand.

The billionaire restored former President Donald Trump’s Twitter account a day earlier after polling users. Trump, who also announced a 2024 White House run, was dumped from Twitter in the aftermath of the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol riot.

Yiannopoulos, who remains off Twitter, had largely disappeared from the public eye since 2017 when he made comments allegedly advocating for pedophilia — stating that sex between 13-year-olds and older men can be “life-affirming.”

He made headlines over the summer with the announcement of his humble, unpaid gig working for Taylor Greene.

Jewish cemetery in Chicago suburbs vandalized with swastikas, Kanye support

Dozens of headstones at a Jewish cemetery in suburban Chicago have been vandalized with anti-Semitic hate, including Swastikas — and praise of disgraced local rapper Kanye West.

Police in Waukegan said that 39 stones were defaced with bright red spray paint early Monday at Am Echod Jewish Cemetery.

That included 16 Swastikas and at least one covered in the misspelled message: “Kanye was rite.”

The illiterate namecheck for the once-celebrated local rapper — now known as Ye — follows his spectacular downfall for repeatedly using anti-Semitic tropes after first threatening to go “death con 3… on JEWISH PEOPLE.”

“We have no words for this depravity and evil,” watchdog StopAntisemitism said alongside a photo of the Ye stone.

StopAntisemitism shared a pic of the “Kanye was rite [sic]” graffiti, saying: “We have no words for this depravity and evil.”
Twitter/StopAntisemitism

It is not the first time that Ye’s public outbursts — which saw him doubling down and repeatedly justifying his tired tropers — have been blamed for a rise in anti-Semitic hate.

Even given “the continued escalation of antisemitic incidents, this one hits hard,” local Anti-Defamation League (ADL) director David Goldenberg told ABC7.

“It must be investigated as a hate crime,” his ADL Midwest branch also tweeted, saying it was “disgusted.”

Ye has repeatedly been blamed for an increase in anti-Semitism following his ranting that started with a threat to go “death con 3… on JEWISH PEOPLE.”

“The desecration of these stones is reprehensible [and] we all must speak out in the face of this attack.”

Waukegan Mayor Ann Taylor also said she was “deeply disturbed and angered by the hateful imagery.”

“Hate does not have a home in Waukegan,” she insisted.

Illinois Governor JB Pritzker said he stood with the mayor in “condemning this evil act, and offer the state’s full support in the pursuit of justice.”

Kanye West Back on Twitter as Elon Musk Takes Control of Platform

Rapper Kanye West’s Twitter profile, which was suspended for posting anti-Semitic remarks, appeared to be back up on the platform, a day after billionaire Elon Musk took ownership of the social media company following his $44 billion (nearly Rs. 3,62,300 crore) deal.

The rapper, now known as Ye, was suspended from Twitter and Meta Platforms’ Instagram last month and the platforms removed some of his online posts that users condemned as anti-Semitic.

Twitter did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Ye, who has over 30 million followers on Twitter, has courted controversy in recent months by publicly ending major corporate tie-ups and making outbursts on social media against other celebrities.

On October 8, Musk had tweeted, “Welcome back to Twitter, my friend!” when Ye posted on the platform for the first time in two years after his Instagram account was restricted.

Musk took ownership of Twitter with brutal efficiency on Thursday, firing top executives but providing little clarity over how he will achieve the ambitions he has outlined for the influential social media platform.

Musk, also the Tesla CEO and a self-described free speech absolutist, has laid out goals to prevent the platform from becoming an echo chamber for hate and division.

He has also said he would reverse Twitter’s ban on former US President Donald Trump, whose account was removed after the attack on the US Capitol. Trump on Friday said he was happy Twitter was in “sane hands.”

Earlier in October, Ye agreed in principle to buy Parler, the social media platform popular among US conservatives.

Musk, soon after the takeover, fired Chief Executive Parag Agrawal, Chief Financial Officer Ned Segal and legal affairs and policy chief Vijaya Gadde, according to people familiar with the matter. He had accused them of misleading him and Twitter investors over the number of fake accounts on the platform.

Adidas to drop Kanye West after his anti-Semitic outbursts

Adidas plans to sever ties with Kanye West after facing mounting pressure to do so in the wake of the rapper’s bizarre anti-Semitic outbursts and public meltdowns, a report revealed Tuesday.

The apparel brand, who announced last week their 10-year relationship with West was “under review,” could announce the move as early as Tuesday, people familiar with the matter told Bloomberg News.

Adidas is the latest high-profile brand, including Balenciaga and Vogue, to cut ties or reconsider their relationships with the rapper-turned-designer following his slew of controversial remarks in recent weeks.

The shoemaker’s decision came after they faced heavy backlash for staying silent when the outrage against West first erupted.

Some accused the retailer of putting profits over ethics for not publicly condemning the 45-year-old’s string of anti-Semitic tweets.

The #boycottadidas hashtag also started trending at one point.

West, who has legally changed his name to Ye, has been releasing his Yeezy sneaker lines with Adidas since 2015.

Upcoming Yeezy collections, which are set to retail between $200-$300, are already scheduled to drop later this year.

West had addressed the possibility of Adidas dropping him ahead of the official announcement, telling TMZ over the weekend that the brand is “going through legal right now so anything can happen.”

Elsewhere in that interview, the father-of-four was adamant he didn’t think he would be canceled — despite being dropped by the big-name brands.

“I ain’t losing no money,” he said. “The day I was taken off the Balenciaga site, that was one of the most freeing days.”

West added that businesses were only cutting ties with him to simply “score points.”

“We here, baby, we ain’t going nowhere,” he insisted.

West briefly hired Johnny Depp’s lawyer Camille Vasquez to oversee all of his businesses, but she dropped him in a matter of days after he refused to retract his words.

“I’m a bit sleepy tonight but when I wake up I’m going death con 3 On JEWISH PEOPLE,” West wrote in an Oct. 9 tweet — making an erroneous reference to the military term “defcon,” short for Defense Readiness Condition, or how fast the U.S. armed forces could be deployed in response to a threat.

He earlier shared a since-deleted screenshot on Instagram of an iMessage exchange in which he accused Sean Combs, aka Diddy, of being controlled by Jews.

Asked if he was sorry for his remarks, West told The Post columnist Piers Morgan last week: “No. Absolutely not.”

A number of brands quickly moved to end their partnerships with him, including Balenciaga, who said they “no longer any relationship nor any plans for future projects related to this artist.”

A Vogue spokesperson told Page Six last week that they, too, had no plans to work with the rapper again.

Kanye West to Buy Parler for Undisclosed Sum, Deal Expected to Close in Q4 2022

Parler parent Parlement Technologies said on Monday that it will be acquired by rapper Kanye West, who legally changed his name to simply Ye last year. A popular app among conservatives, Parler said it expects the deal to close during the fourth quarter of 2022. It did not give a deal value.

“In a world where conservative opinions are considered to be controversial we have to make sure we have the right to freely express ourselves,” Ye said in a statement.

Ye’s Instagram and Twitter accounts have been restricted before, most recently this month when social media platforms removed his posts that online users condemned as anti-Semitic.

The American rapper, formerly known as Kanye West, had announced in 2020 that he would run for US President in an apparent challenge to former US President Donald Trump, but later pulled out.

Last month Parler created a new parent company, Parlement Technologies as part of an overhaul.

West last month ended a partnership with apparel company Gap, saying it failed to meet its obligations under the contract.

Reuters reported last month that Parler was returning to the Google Play store over a year it was removed by the search giant following the US Capitol Riots of January 2021. The social media app, which was launched in 2018 as an alternative to other social media platforms like Twitter, has gained traction from supporters of former US President Donald Trump.

At the time, a Google spokesperson had told Reuters that the app had been updated with an option to block abusive users and remove content that might incite violence. The app had been substantially modified to comply with Play Store’s policies before it returned to the Google Play store.

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West attend daughter North’s basketball game separately

While they may not be on speaking terms of late, Kim Kardashian and her ex-husband Kanye West both attended their daughter North’s basketball game on Friday — although the two arrived separately.

Kardashian pulled up to the game with North, 9, along with her and West’s three other children — Saint, 6, Chicago, 4, and Psalm, 3, TMZ reported.

West, meanwhile, showed up solo.

The two have not been communicating since the “Yeezus” hitmaker’s recent “White Live Matters” shirt stunt in Paris, his subsequent interview with Tucker Carlson, and his anti-Semitic rants, sources told Page Six.

The Skims mogul is so fed up with West’s behavior that she doesn’t even talk to him about their kids’ schedules anymore without a third party, sources familiar with the situation tell Page Six.

“They have had zero communication in several weeks, and all communication regarding the kids’ schedules are now coordinated through assistants,” a source told Page Six.

Friday was only the second time in weeks that the two appeared at one of North’s events after the reality tv star and rapper both attended one of her basketball games last week.

West, 45, and Nick Cannon embraced outside of West’s daughter’s basketball game Friday.

West was seen embracing fellow celebrity Nick Cannon before he walked into the game.

He left before North’s game ended while Kardashian stayed with the four kids the whole time, according to TMZ.
