Ye Claims Playboi Carti Came To His Hotel Armed With A Gun
It's unclear when this alleged visit took place, but the artist formerly known as Kanye West sounded very convinced when he briefly explained the story. 'I gotta tell you another thing that Carti said telling me on the phone, ni**a,' he said to the camera during his stream. 'This ni**a told me he was at the Chateau with a gun, ni**a. What that mean, ni**a? And then ni**a said he don't be on the internet. It's like, if you don't be on the internet, what we talking about then? I ain't say nothing then.'
Seemingly, the Vultures artist was referring to the Chateau Marmont in West Hollywood, Calif. In his March interview with DJ Akademiks, they spoke on camera while at the luxury hotel. As for Ye's interaction with Carti, he wasn't able to say much else because Twitch allegedly banned him after he streamed for just seven minutes.
Ye and Playboi Carti, once close collaborators, have had a complicated last few months. The multi-time Grammy winner expressed his frustrations with the Atlanta rapper when he included three Kendrick Lamar features on his March album Music, but left off all the songs on which Ye was featured. 'I DONT LIKE KENDRICK LAMARS MUSIC HE RAPS VERY GOOD BUT I DIDNT NEED TO HEAR HIM ON CARTI ALBUM,' the controversial artist wrote on X.
West also took issue with the fact that Kim Kardashian did not want their daughter North on a song with him, Diddy, and others, but seemingly gave Carti the green light to work with her. His rants got to a point where the 'Evil J0rdan' artist actually tweeted, telling his former mentor to 'STFU.'
This is a sharp turn from their success together through the years. In 2021, Carti appeared on the standout Donda track 'Off The Grid.' Last year, the duo created a hit together with 'Carnival' from Vultures 1, alongside Ty Dolla $ign and Rich The Kid. Watch the video below.

Tumi Robe Nirobe: A Century-Old Bengali Masterpiece Reimagined for the World Stage
08/01/2025, New Jersey, USA // KISS PR Brand Story PressWire // In a rare artistic endeavor that bridges continents, cultures, and centuries, Tumi Robe Nirobe, a timeless composition by Nobel Laureate Rabindranath Tagore, has been reimagined for the global stage. The song is being released by reputed Bongo Boy Records. This soul-stirring rendition — interpreted with haunting intimacy by New Jersey-based vocalist Aninda Bose — is now being presented for GRAMMY® consideration under the category Best Global Music Performance (Outstanding Vocals). Written and composed in 1895, Tumi Robe Nirobe ('You remain in silence') explores the metaphysical space between presence and absence — a contemplative ode to love, stillness, and spiritual connection. The piece is re-envisioned in a modern arrangement while staying rooted in its lyrical origin — a poignant echo of what Tagore may have envisioned when he wrote it over a century ago. The release date is no coincidence — August 7, 2025, marks the anniversary of Tagore's passing, and this rendition serves as a humble yet powerful ode to his legacy. The song will be available for streaming and download worldwide across all major platforms. A music video will also accompany the launch and premiere on YouTube, visually interpreting the song's quiet emotional depth. It will also feature on select global radio stations, bringing this Eastern masterpiece to living rooms and headphones across continents. 'This is not just a song,' says Aninda Bose, 'but an attempt to imagine what Tagore may have dreamt — not just for Bengal, but for the world. It is music beyond borders, and emotion beyond language.' Bongo Boy Records, under the ownership of Monique Grimme, is a U.S. label well-known for amplifying global voices and supporting numerous GRAMMY® artists and submissions. With an eclectic catalog representing a wide variety of genres, Bongo Boy Records continually showcases the creativity and vibrancy of musicians worldwide. The label provides listeners with a fresh soundscape that connects cultures and celebrates the boundless spirit of musical artistry. A True Global Collaboration Tumi Robe Nirobe is more than music — it is a cultural meditation. This project unites musicians from five countries, blending Indian classical roots with European chamber textures and cinematic winds to create a soundscape that is both intimate and expansive: Together, this ensemble delivers a sonic homage to Tagore that honors the original while transforming it for a global audience — embodying the very spirit of world music and shared human emotion.

Grateful Dead guitarist Jerry Garcia has childhood street named for him in San Francisco
SAN FRANCISCO — A few hundred people gathered Friday to name a tiny San Francisco street after legendary Grateful Dead guitarist Jerry Garcia on what would have been his 83rd birthday and as part of a citywide celebration to mark the band's 60th anniversary. Harrington Street, which is one block long, will also be called 'Jerry Garcia Street.' He died in 1995, but the band's popularity has only grown as younger generations discover the Dead's improvisational music, which blended rock, blues, folk and other styles.
