Controversial rapper Kanye West lost and temper and ranted about not having the custody of his children with his ex-wife Kim Kardashian. The rapper, in a complete black mask that covered his face, ranted about not having custody of the four children he shares with his ex-wife, Kim Kardashian in an explosive new livestream.Kanye has publicly clashed with Kim about the co-parenting of their 11-year-old daughter, North. On Wednesday, West vented about not seeing her, as well as his three younger kids - daughter Chicago, seven; and sons Saint, nine, and Psalm, five."F*** all these f***** n*****,' said West, who was recently banned from Twitch. 'I'mma go get these kids, bro. I'm talking to the lawyers - it gets to the point where I don't lose my f***in' mind where I got to get used to not seeing my kids," the Carnival rapper exclaimed as he angrily threw his hands around."[DJ] Akademiks put that battery in my back, bro. 'Cause I was in the airport by myself … I'mma go get these kids, man!' Kanye wasn't alone during the livestream as there was a man sat behind him with headphones on.In his rant, West said, 'Why you got all these Black kids that are just sitting there at school ... trying to jump up and down for McDonald's, n*****. Kanye is no stranger to voicing his grievances with his and his ex-wife's current custody arrangement over the last few months.Earlier this year, West has gone on and on about his feud with the 'Kardashian Mob' about restricting his rights to visit the kids or collaborate with them, calling the current situation 'visitation' in 'jail'.'I DONT WANT TO JUST 'SEE' MY KIDS. I NEED TO RAISE THEM. I NEED TO HAVE SAY SO OF WEAR THEY GO TO SCHOOL AND WHO THEIR FRIENDS ARE AND WHOS HOUSES THEY SLEEP OVER WEATHER MY DAUGHTERS WEAR LIPSTICK AND PERFUME,' the rapper wrote in the now-deleted tweet back then. 'ALL THESE RIGHTS HAVE BEEN TAKEN FROM ME BY THE KARDASHIAN MOB HULU AND DISNEY AND THE BIGGER AGENDA TO USE THE SELECTIVELY BRED BLACK CHILDREN TO BE PLATFORMS TO INFLUENCE BLACK PEOPLE,' West claimed about the Kardashian family.West, who recently returned from Japan, has been working on new music as of late and corresponding with his fans on social media about the upcoming slate of releases. West previously posted a series of tweets March 19 in which he said that he was put off by a white woman being in control of his Black children.He also rankled Kim a year before their split when he revealed that he and the socialite had once broached the comment of getting an abortion when she was pregnant with North.Additionally, Kanye called out several high-profile figures—Hollywood celebrities like Jay-Z, Beyoncé, Rihanna, Kendrick Lamar, Elon Musk, and even President Donald Trump—questioning why they were silently watching as Kim allegedly kept him from his children.'Y'all wanna say I'm acting out because of my childhood,' he tweeted, 'but I don't even get to be a dad.' He also claimed he hadn't seen his older son, Saint, at all that year. However, photos obtained by Page Six contradicted that statement, showing Kanye and Saint shopping at a convenience store. The sighting occurred around the time Kanye traveled to Japan, reportedly because he didn't feel safe after posting anti-Semitic and Nazi-sympathizing tweets.

Paramounts new owners to increase film production, hang on to cable networks
LOS ANGELES, Aug 13 (Reuters) - Paramount Global unveiled plans on Wednesday to retain and develop its stalwart entertainment brands Nickelodeon, MTV, and BET, while sharply increasing feature film production following its $8.4 billion merger with Skydance Media. "We're thinking about ... the cable networks, not as declining linear assets that we need to spin off or deal with somehow," said President Jeff Shell. "We're thinking of those brands that we have to redefine." Shell joined Chairman and CEO David Ellison and the rest of the executive team at a media gathering on Wednesday on the Paramount Pictures lot, where they discussed strategy for their film, television, and streaming businesses - as well as emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence. The press event was held a week after Paramount completed its merger with Skydance Media, installing new leadership at the media company. Television Media Chair George Cheeks acknowledged the decline of cable television - "there's no question it's a super challenging business" - but added that the company's cable networks have created iconic franchises that may well thrive in the world of streaming video. Shell singled out BET, a network focused on Black culture that Paramount previously explored selling, as an important building block of the company's streaming strategy. Paramount's plans to develop its legacy cable networks come at a time when other media companies are shedding fading cable networks. Warner Bros Discovery and Comcast have announced plans to separate their cable businesses from their studios and streaming operations. Josh Greenstein, co-chair of Paramount Pictures, said the studio plans to raise annual output, from eight this year to 15 movies "very quickly," with the ultimate goal of releasing 20 films a year. The coming slate will include new installments of familiar franchises, such as "Star Trek" or "Transformers," as well as original movies, like the newly acquired James Mangold film project, "High Side," starring Timothée Chalamet. The studio also will seek out family fare, in the vein of "A Night at the Museum" or "The Goonies." "We love these movies. We all grew up on these movies, and we don't feel like many people are making them," said Dana Goldberg, co-chair of Paramount Pictures. Ellison said his goal is to transform Paramount into a haven for the most talented filmmakers and sees emerging technologies like artificial intelligence providing a tool to enhance storytelling. "I also think we have to acknowledge that this is a technology that is evolving, I think, faster than everyone in Hollywood really thinks it is," said Ellison, who is the son of Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison. "When you start putting that in a filmmaker's hands, I think you're seeing another moment that'll be as transformative as when John Lasseter and Steve Jobs built Pixar."
