Julia Fox and Ye attend the Kenzo Fall/Winter 2022/2023 show as part of Paris Fashion Week on Jan. 23, 2022 in Paris.
Victor Boyko/GI For KenzoGiving a name to their love. On Monday (Jan. 24), Julia Fox took to social media to label her relationship with Ye with a couple-y name.
“Juliye,” she captioned a photo of the pair with a single black heart emoji. In the snap, she and the artist formerly known as Kanye West wear complementary leather looks by Schiaparelli. While the Uncut Gems actress is in a structural leather jacket, matching black leggings and giant earrings with heavy black eye makeup, the rapper’s face is obscured by one of his favorite Donda-era full face masks.
Even before revealing the portmanteau, Fox insisted on her podcast Forbidden Fruits that she’s not dating Kim Kardashian’s estranged husband for fame, clout, money or attention.
The lovebirds are currently in Paris, after the superstar whisked his new girlfriend away on a whirlwind weekend trip filled with designer fittings, shows at Paris Men’s Fashion Week and even their official red-carpet debut as a couple ahead of the KENZO runway presentation.
Meanwhile, Ye was recently announced as a headliner for Coachella’s upcoming 2022 return after two years of the Indio, Calif.-based festival being canceled due to COVID-19. The complete lineup also includes Harry Styles, Billie Eilish, Megan Thee Stallion, Doja Cat, Phoebe Bridgers and the return of Swedish House Mafia to the Empire Polo Grounds for the first time since 2012.
West’s hotly anticipated three-part documentary jeen-yuhs: A Kanye Trilogy also premiered at the Sundance Film Festival on Sunday night, but not before the rapper demanded final approval of edits ahead of its Netflix debut on Feb. 16.

There is no question that Clipse’s Let God Sort Em Out made a serious impact and continues to hold weight. The project showed that hip hop is not limited by age and proved that a long-awaited return can still land in a major way regardless of the time away.
If you need a reminder, the Virginia duo’s fourth studio album debuted comfortably within the top five of the Hot 200. It secured the number four position and moved an impressive 118,000 units in its first week.
On top of that, it picked up a win at this year’s Grammys, earning Best Rap Performance for “Chains & Whips.” The album also received four additional nominations, including Best Music Video, Rap Album, and Album of the Year.
It is hard to believe the project will officially hit its one year mark this summer on July 11. Even so, Pusha T is making it clear that both supporters and critics should not be overlooking it anytime soon.
While performing at Coachella yesterday, King Push told the crowd that LGSEO still sits at the top, regardless of genre.
He said, “‘Let God Sort Em Out’ is still the album of the motherfckin year. Whole new year, still album of the year,” per Kurrco. “Album of the motherfcking year until we drop again. We don't care who dropping. It don't matter.”
That is a strong statement for obvious reasons, especially considering the recent claims surrounding Push himself.
Over the same weekend, hip hop social media lit up after several alleged reference tracks connected to Quentin Miller and Push began circulating. Three tracks surfaced in total, but one that drew the most attention was an alleged record titled “Real Gon’ Come.” It is said to come from the DAYTONA era, around 2017 to 2018.
The situation gained traction because fans remember the past tension between Drake and Pusha T before Drake’s clash with Kendrick Lamar. During that feud, Pusha accused Drake of using ghostwriters on tracks like “Infrared,” which appears on DAYTONA. On that song, he raps, “The bigger question is how the Russians did it /
It was written like Nas, but it came from Quentin.”
Reactions have been mixed. Some people argue it is not a major issue since Miller’s alleged contributions were limited to hooks. Others point out that the songs were never officially released, so they see no real problem. Meanwhile, critics view it as clear hypocrisy on Pusha T’s part, a perspective that DJ Akademiks has also supported.
