Jay-Z Disses Kanye West With Lyric Swap Months After He Publicly Disrespected His Kids
Months after Kanye West publicly disrespected the kids of his former friends Jay-Z and Beyoncé, it appears Jay-Z has fired back at his ex-collaborator.
While hitting the stage alongside Beyoncé during her 'Cowboy Carter' show in Paris on Sunday, Jay-Z made a very noticeable lyric change.
While performing his and West's 2011 hit song 'N—s in Paris' from their joint album 'Watch the Throne,' Jay-Z swapped the tune's original lyrics 'just might let you meet Ye' to 'just might let you meet Bey,' as seen in clips shared by social media users.
As expected, social media users on X, formerly Twitter, reacted to Jay-Z's shady, altered lyrics.

Jay-Z (real name Shawn Carter) and West, who goes by Ye, went from collaborating as tight-knit friends in the music industry to falling out over the last decade.
The pair was once one of the most dynamic duos in hip-hop, but in recent years Ye has frequently made headlines for his controversial comments, including antisemitic statements shared on social media, and erratic behavior, subsequently losing multiple brand deals.
Back in March, Ye was criticized by social media users after he posted ableist comments aimed at Jay-Z and Beyoncé's twin kids — Rumi and Sir. The 'Drunk in Love' collaborators, who tied the knot in 2008 also share daughter Blue Ivy.
'WAIT HAS ANYONE EVER SEEN JAY Z AND BEYONCES YOUNGER KIDS,' the rapper said in a since-deleted tweet. 'THEYRE RETARDED NO LIKE LITERALLY.'
Jay-Z has not publicly addressed Ye's comments about Rumi and Sir.
The record executive previously broke his silence on his strained relationship with Ye while speaking with The New York Times in 2017.
'He's my brother. I love Kanye. I do. It's a complicated relationship with us,' he told the outlet. 'Kanye came into this business on my label. So I've always been like his big brother. And we're both entertainers. It's always been like a little underlying competition with your big brother.'
Jay-Z added: 'And we both love and respect each other's art too … And then there's like a lot of other factors that play in it. But it's gonna, we gonna always be good.'

Beyoncé and Jay-Z Get Surprise Revenge Against Kanye West in Paris: 'The Carters Aren't Playing Fair!'
Beyoncé and Jay-Z took their lick back at Kanye West in front of an 80,000-strong crowd in Paris. The power couple, in a very surprising move, took to the stage on the final night of the international leg of the "Cowboy Carter" tour. However, Jay-Z switched up his lyrics to throw shade at West, who attacked his twin children, Rumi and Sir Carter, in an online rant. For night three at Stade de France in Paris, Beyoncé blew fans' minds by bringing a surprise guest, her husband Jay-Z. She introduced him to perform their 2003 hit single, "Crazy in Love." It marks their first time performing together in seven years. As seen in fan-recorded videos online, the rap mogul, dressed in all black, stormed the stage rapping as the crowd went wild. Queen B, also wearing an all-black look comprising a crop top and bedazzled pants with chaps, danced alongside her husband. After rapping his verse, Jay-Z and Beyoncé sweetly blew each other kisses, after which the singer exited, allowing the billionaire to entertain the roaring crowd. For his solo scene, Hov, as he is fondly called, performed the 2011 song "N-gg-s in Paris," which he co-released with West for their collaborative studio album, "Watch The Throne." Switching up the lyrics, the rapper sang, "Gold bottles, scold models, Spillin' Ace on my sick J's. (Ball so hard) B-tch, behave. Just might let you meet Bey," replacing "Ye" with his wife's name. It didn't take long for fans to notice the name switch and call it out online. "You see, he's over Kanye & his mess, he changed the lyrics," one fan observed on X. Another user supported the jab, writing, "Don't blame it. Talk about my damn kids you dead to me. Forever!" A third fan noted, "The Carters aren't playing fair," while another added, "Yes, Kanye is [dead] to him for real! Others noted that the "Donda" rapper will soon come online to rant about being excluded from the performance. "Prediction: Ye is going to declare how hurt he is at being erased from the song (of course he's already forgotten all the sh-t he's done to this family because that's how he do)," the fan penned. undefined undefined

People Want Bianca Censori To Be 'Charged With Public Indecency' After Edible Candy Outfit Stunt
turned heads and raised eyebrows over the weekend when she stepped out in New York City wearing a fully edible candy bra and underwear set while accompanying her husband, . The 30-year-old model flaunted the colorful two-piece look, completing the jaw-dropping ensemble with silver pumps and a dark wig with blunt bangs. Meanwhile, West opted for a more low-key look in a gray sweatshirt and black pants as the couple headed into a local studio on Saturday. While Bianca Censori's skin-baring look quickly went viral, many fans were less than impressed. Social media lit up with criticism, with comments ranging from concern to confusion. 'Please stop,' one person pleaded. 'Has there ever been a woman who looks more miserable? Those are dead eyes,' another commented. Others questioned the legality of the look, with one user writing, 'How is she not charged with public indecency?' . The provocative outfit is just the latest in a string of risqué and headline-making fashion choices for Bianca Censori, who has become known for baring it all in public. Since reportedly reconciling with West in April after a rumored split, the Yeezy architect has returned to wearing next to nothing, often turning heads in sheer bodysuits, leather loincloths, fishnet tops, and more. Their brief breakup earlier this year reportedly stemmed from West's controversial behavior, including anti-Semitic social media posts and the release of merchandise featuring hate symbols. At the time, sources close to the couple suggested the relationship had reached a breaking point. 'She's been an awesome wife and awesome collaborator,' an insider told Page Six in February. 'She's been through so many crazy moments, but this one may be unsurvivable.' Despite the turmoil, the two appeared to patch things up by mid-April, even making headlines with a public visit to a sex shop. Since then, Bianca Censori has doubled down on her bold fashion and public displays of loyalty to West. In May, she drew comparisons to West's ex-wife, , stepping out in a sheer bodysuit and black wig. While vacationing in Spain, she wore another revealing look featuring a see-through top and high-slit skirt. The couple, who reportedly tied the knot in a private ceremony in December 2022, has shown no signs of dialing things down. In fact, West recently reposted a message on X (formerly Twitter) referring to Censori as his 'subservient extension,' declaring, 'Every man needs himself a Bianca.' This latest outing comes just days after news broke that Kanye West and Bianca Censori are reportedly staying at a high-end mental health retreat as the rapper faces mounting legal troubles and renewed scrutiny surrounding his personal life and controversial public behavior. According to RadarOnline, court documents related to a wrongful termination lawsuit filed by former employee Benjamin Provo confirm West's extended presence at the clinic over the past few weeks. The retreat stay comes amid efforts by the embattled rapper to rehabilitate both his image and professional credibility. 'He's bleeding money and credibility,' a source told the outlet. 'He needs to prove to fans and the corporate partners he has left that he was off his rocker when spewing such filth, and going to rehab seems like just what the doctor ordered. Literally.' Before stepping out in New York this weekend, the couple has made occasional public appearances in other U.S. spots, including Miami, Texas, and Los Angeles. One of the most talked-about moments came after Bianca's spa appointment in Beverly Hills, where she stepped out in thigh-skimming shorts, a black zip-up hoodie, and heeled sandals. Kanye, sitting beside her, appeared distant and stone-faced, drawing widespread speculation about the couple's dynamic. The visual contrast between Bianca Censori's bold fashion choice and Kanye's subdued demeanor only added fuel to ongoing online discussions about their relationship, especially in light of West's recent repost calling Censori his 'subservient extension' and declaring, 'Every man needs himself a Bianca.' As the fashion stunts and controversy continue, fans remain divided on whether Censori's bold choices are an expression of art, submission, or simply shock value.

J.K. Rowling's Involvement With Harry Potter Series
The controversy around J.K. Rowling's involvement in HBO's upcoming Harry Potter TV series is, honestly, a constant at this point. It's arguably overshadowed anything else about the series. This is mostly because the author has spent the majority of her post-Harry Potter career spending time — and money — essentially pushing back against the mere notion of trans rights. As a result, the series itself has become a hotbed of discourse and criticism. Bridgerton star Nicola Coughlan recently took to IG to speak out against the author, the show, and the recent UK Supreme Court's unanimous ruling that a "woman" in equality legislation should be defined as referring to a "biological woman and biological sex." As the show's casting has been slowly unveiled, those who are set to appear on it have also become inevitably snared in the conversation. Paapa Essiedu — who, as of this moment, is booked to portray Severus Snape in the series — was one of many British actors who signed an open letter supporting trans rights in response to the Supreme Court ruling, which caused J.K. to deny rumors that he'd be fired from the show for doing so. Last month, HBO CEO Casey Bloys addressed the situation on a recent episode of The Town podcast, saying that "the decision to be in business with J.K. Rowling is not new for us. We've been in business for 25 years...I think it's pretty clear those are her personal political views. She's entitled to them. And if you want to debate her, you can go on Twitter." When a fellow Twitter user asked her point-blank if she's writing for the show itself, she replied, "No, but I've worked closely with the extremely talented writers." Make of that what you will!
