Kanye West has dished out and retracted so many beefs with rappers these days that it can feel impossible to keep track of his true allegiances. In his latest example of backhanded dissing, according to Complex, he went after Cam'ron following the Dipset members' comments about the Yeezy mogul.
Specifically, Killa Cam said Ye and R. Kelly are not doing right by the city of Chicago. To Kanye, this was a ridiculous claim, and he took to Twitter to clap back in a since-deleted message.
"How Cam say I’m doing anything bad for Chicago," Kanye West tweeted at Cam'ron. "Chicago loves me. I love Cam. It’s n***as like you that had me shook to release the song but I ain’t scared of y’all n***as. And thank you for making dip set. You’re a God. And f**k you by the way. And I got on my 2 million dollar dipset belt as I tweet."
For those unaware, Cam'ron made these Kanye West comments on his sports talk show with Mase, It Is What It Is. It was in response to Ye's new song "Cousins," on which he claims he engaged in oral sex with his male cousin when they were young.
"I'm not saying nothing about the city of Chicago," the New York lyricist expressed, referring to both Kanye and R. Kelly. "But two of the biggest superstars ever, it's some molestation, nasty, peeing on b***hes. It's a lot of s**t going on with two of the biggest superstars. [...] Not just from Chicago, ever in music history, where some personal nasty s**t going on. [...] Y'all putting a stain on a good city, man. Y'all need to cut the s**t, baby."
Ironically enough, Kanye West recently advocated for R. Kelly's freedom on Twitter. "FREE R KELLY," Ye tweeted simply. Before that, he had reacted to a picture of the disgraced R&B singer wearing Yeezys behind bars.
"My N***a Kells still got that Chicago spirit. They ain't break him. And he got on Yeezy. On you Yeezy over everything," the "BURN" artist tweeted. Considering his previous friendship with Cam'ron, we wonder if this will last long or if they will fully bury the hatchet soon enough.
Dua Lipa has described Britney Spears as "an icon".
The Houdini singer also pointed out her personal favorite track from the pop legend.
Dua, 30, said that Britney’s 2003 single Toxic is the song she loves most, sharing that she often plays it every night to relax while spending time on holiday with her extended family.
"You're very silly and giggly and fun and I need to hear 'Toxic' at the end of every single night when I'm feeling like that," she told Vogue Magazine. "It's one of my favourite songs."
The Levitating artist took it even further, calling Toxic "one of the greatest" and saying it has a timeless quality.
"I think it's one of the greatest pop songs ever made," Dua gushed. "It makes me feel nostalgic, but also at the same time, if it came out yesterday, it would be an absolute smash. I love it so much."
She also mentioned that the track’s music video, which shows Britney, 44, as a space-themed flight attendant, played a major role in its appeal.
"The bit that stays in my mind that I remember so well is Britney in a stewardess outfit, and I don't think anyone has been able to make a stewardess outfit look so good," Dua said, before confessing her belief that Britney was "an icon".
"I love Britney so much," she said. "I love everything about her, all her songs. She's such an icon."
