The Buzz List: 2/18
February 18, 2016
1. It’s Kanye’s World: Kanye West has finally released his long awaited gospel album. “The Life of Pablo” has ten tracks, but none of them are more talked about than “Famous.” Taylor Swift is certainly not a fan of the song, as she is mentioned in it: “I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex / Why? I made that b**ch famous.” Though West claims he got Swift’s approval for the song, she denies it and said that she objects to the song’s “strong misogynistic message.”
2. We’re Just Living In It: “Famous” isn’t the only headline Kanye West made this week. On Saturday, West announced, “I write this to you my brothers while still 53 million dollars in personal debt… Please pray we overcome… This is my true heart…” on Twitter.
The world was shocked and wondered how West could be in so much debt. He quickly went to Twitter to and responded, “Yes I am personally rich and I can buy furs and houses for my family, but I need access to more money in order to bring more beautiful ideas to the world.”
*If you would like to donate to Kanye West to help bring more beautiful ideas in the world, don’t.
3. Swift Sasses Back: Did you think I was done talking about Taylor? Of course not, Swift won Album of the Year at the Grammys Monday. In her acceptance speech, she called out Kanye West saying, “. . . there are going to be people along the way who will try to undercut your success or take credit for your accomplishments or your fame. But if you just focus on the work and you don’t let those people sidetrack you, someday, when you get where you are going, you will look around and you will know that it was you and the people who love you who put you there.” #TeamTaylor
4. The Frozen Look: No, I’m not talking about Elsa, though millions of girls have spent hours braiding their hair in attempts to like the Disney Princess.
I am talking about the Frozen look developed by Rihanna for New York Fashion Week has caught lot of attention. Model Gigi Hadid and her sister Bella rocked this look walking down the runway. Will it catch on? Girls everywhere were wearing feathers in their hair only a few years ago, so I’m not ruling anything out.
