Pusha T brands Kanye West 'sick', says their working relationship is no more

Pusha T has branded Kanye West "sick" and declared their working relationship over.
The rapper was signed to Kanye's G.O.O.D. Music label and even became president at one stage.
They've worked together several times over the years, but their relationship hasn't been the same since Kanye's 2022 outbursts, including the antisemitic remarks that saw several huge brands cut ties with him, including Adidas and Balenciaga.
In a new cover interview with GQ, Pusha T has addressed where he stands with the artist that inspired and championed him.
He said: 'The one thing that I can say about him is that he knows that every issue that he's having and crying about online right now, I've told him distinctly about those things. He don't talk to me like he talks to others.'
Pusha T has been straight up with the 'Stronger' hitmaker with regards to how he feels about his controversial views, and "why we can't build with each other no more."
He continued: 'He knows I don't think he's a man.
'He knows it. And that's why we can't build with each other no more. That's why me and him don't click, because he knows what I really, really think of him. He's showed me the weakest sides of him, and he knows how I think of weak people.'
Branding him "sick", he went on: 'If I take your sickness and take how calculated you've been and disruptive you've been and tried to be to me, then it cancels itself out. I can't look at it as sick, because you're detrimental. You're detrimental to everything.'
Pusha T is featured on Kanye's track 'Diet Coke' on his album 'Donda 2', however, he spoke about feeling sidelined creatively during the recording sessions.

Pope Leo XIV breaks from tradition by wearing hometown baseball cap

The pope has been spotted in sportswear — and this time it wasn't created by Artificial Intelligence. Pope Leo XIV, a Chicago native and the first American pope, wore a White Sox baseball cap during a public appearance at the Vatican, making him the first pope to make such a casual pairing with his white cassocks. Leo, born Robert Provost, was photographed on Wednesday smiling in the cap during his weekly general audience. During the appearance, he met with newly wedded couples — breaking both traditional papal and wedding attire codes. Leo's love for the sport was noted immediately upon his election on May 8, but the question remained: Cubs or White Sox? His brother, John, quickly spoke to the press to confirm his White Sox allegiance — and footage has even revealed his attendance at the 2005 World Series, which broke the team's 88-year drought when they won the title. His devotion to the White Sox was just one of many aspects of Pope Leo's life that quickly pieced together an image of a pontiff-next-door. After he was elected, following two days of secretive deliberation, the memes came swiftly. He was dubbed 'Da Pope' by the Chicago Sun-Times and quickly pictured in edited or AI images posing with Chicago-style hot dogs and bottles of Jeppson's Malört — the city's beloved gasoline-like liquor. Graduates of Villanova University, where he attended undergraduate school, were also eager to claim him, sharing AI images of Leo in full Villanova garb. It's not the first time a pope has become the fervid subject of memes; his predecessor, Pope Francis I, famously went viral in an AI-generated image of the pontiff outfitted in a Balenciaga-coded white puffer jacket in 2023. Though Francis' most iconic sartorial moment wasn't real, his tenure saw broader enthusiasm for evidence of a more contemporary and relaxed papal authority. The Argentinian pope departed from archaic and ornate accessories favoured by Pope Benedict XVI — including his bright red leather loafers — opting for humble, simple robes and sensible black shoes with an orthopaedic sole. In response, The Cut declared Francis the world's 'normcore pope' in 2015, and he was also honoured by Esquire as 2013's Best-Dressed Man. And though he never donned a jersey (in public), Francis was also a noted sports fan with a love for soccer, specifically his hometown club, San Lorenzo de Almagro. A month in, Pope Leo's own style has flown under the radar until now, but the statement-making look of the White Sox cap could be a sign of things to come. A new mural in Rome of the pontiff in a twist on the Chicago Bulls jersey may be a harbinger — and, after all, is a classic papal shade of red.

Ye briefly shows up to back Sean 'Diddy' Combs in trial

Ye has made a surprise appearance at Sean "Diddy" Combs' criminal trial, expressing support for his fellow rapper as he defends against sex trafficking charges. Dressed all in white, Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, arrived at the Manhattan federal courthouse in a Maybach car and entered through a public entrance. Ye nodded when asked by a reporter whether he was there to support Combs. He left the courthouse about 35 minutes later. Combs, 55, has pleaded not guilty to sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy charges, and if convicted could face life in prison. He has been held in a Brooklyn jail since his September arrest. Ye has also faced controversy for alleged anti-Semitic and pro-Nazi remarks, prompting businesses such as Adidas to sever ties. He appeared shortly after a Homeland Security special agent completed testimony about firearms and other items that law enforcement found in a March 2024 raid of Combs' Los Angeles home. Jonathan Perez, a former personal assistant to Combs, testified after the agent. During a trial break, outside the jury's presence, prosecutor Maurene Comey renewed her complaint about Combs' "nodding emphatically" at times about testimony he agreed with, on concern his gestures might influence jurors. Combs allegedly made similar gestures during testimony last week. Brian Steel, one of Combs' lawyers, denied that his client's in-court conduct was improper. US District Judge Arun Subramanian, who oversees the trial, said he would try to watch for inappropriate gestures but that it was normal to react to testimony and "impossible to police" everyone. 1800 RESPECT (1800 737 732) National Sexual Abuse and Redress Support Service 1800 211 028 Ye has made a surprise appearance at Sean "Diddy" Combs' criminal trial, expressing support for his fellow rapper as he defends against sex trafficking charges.
