Will.i.am tells Kanye to can it on politics
Real actions change lives, rapper is told
Laura Whitmore’s fella Iain Stirling has revealed there was “a bit of trepidation” when they began living together in lockdown.
He says: “Laura’s my partner, not my flatmate. And in the house, like every couple can, we can get under each other’s feet. So I thought, we’re gonna be together, all the time?”
Yes, Iain, that is generally what happens when you live together.
But he adds: “I’ve got more time, so we can cook, and I’ve not got to worry whether I’ve annoyed someone cos I’ve not done the dishes.” So he does the dishes now!
Feel free to come and do my dishes anytime, Iain. publishing arm #Merky
Books is expanding. The rapper’s roster of authors is growing, to add to titles by
and
with a focus on empowering new voices. Top stuff!
Ding dong! Round two of
and feud has started…
Will has lashed out at the rapper for announcing he was running for President of the United States, calling it “dangerous”.
The Voice Kids coach says of Kanye’s move: “Whatever! It’s a dangerous thing to be playing with.
“If you’re not serious, you don’t play with that, especially now.”
Taking another swipe, he bitches: “Like what the f***, seriously, I don’t even know what like community service you do.”
In 2018, Will.i.am said Kanye’s comments about slavery, which he claimed was a “choice”, was “one of the most ignorant statements that anybody who came from the hood could ever say about their ancestors”.
The 45-year-old Black Eyed Peas singer said he doesn’t need to run for President to effect change in the world, revealing he is already making a massive difference to children’s lives. He explains: “There’s so many ways to help our communities other than politics and you don’t have to run for office to change people’s lives for the better.
“For the past 11 years I went back to the ghetto where I’m from and started a school. I started with 65 kids – now I have 720 kids and growing.
“Our kids have gone off to colleges they probably never thought, or anyone thought, they’d go to – like Dartmouth, Brown, Stanford, UCLA – studying things you probably never thought they would study, like bioscience, engineering, autonomy, robotics and computer science. So you don’t have to be a politician to protect the youth.
“Politics, nah. I’d rather do what I do, and do as much as I can.” I couldn’t agree more.
We’ve all been there, having a tipple too many and then making a complete ass of ourselves.
So spare a thought for funnyman
who spoke of his humiliation over his drunken antics while hosting his Misadventures series.
He says he got “smashed” because he couldn’t resist the temptation of free wine in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Fair enough...
The BBC prime time star believed he was acting intelligently on camera as the vino flowed at a winery.
But now he says of his performance in the second series: “I just got completely hammered and they interviewed me afterwards, and I thought I was hilarious, insightful and really thinking I was smashing that interview. I watched it back and it was humiliating.” Painful!
