How many more controversial things can be wrapped into this debate?!
We caught up with T.I. at LAX, and the rapper gave his opinion on collaborator Kanye West's recent comments regarding slavery. The hit maker was quick to caution people about reserving judgement, but he did offer his own thoughts on the uproar.
"I think we kinda got to see it through, man. I think any reaction we have immediately, it won't serve us as well as us stepping back and kinda giving it a minute to breathe and see how it all plays out. Just like I said, the sh*t that come in his head, as soon as he says it it sounds horrible. But then as he elaborates and clarifies exactly what he means, you don't agree with him, but you kinda see it a little bit," he explained.
"That was stupid, but the thing is it don't hurt nobody but him. That's the thing, that's the conundrum. Why would someone that has so much put himself in such harm's way and in the direct line of fire? I'm just gonna sit back, man, I'm not gonna step away or shun him, because when you look at other demographics they don't do that to theirs. For us as African American people, the answer to the poverty that plagues our neighborhood... the answer is to make enough money to move out, and the answer to our friends and family that usually have outlandish ideas is to distance ourselves from them. Before I decide, I'm going to step back and give it a little time to see exactly where he's going. It's the eye of the storm, it's too soon to tell," he continued.
Not to say he shares the same views, though!
"To say that slavery was a choice, that's like saying aborted babies had a choice. That's a difficult one to process. I will say this, though. No matter how much I disagree, I can say this... I do not feel it was malicious. I don't think he said it with the intention to hurt anybody. It comes from spending time with him, and not everybody got that perspective. He tends to believe it's going to force everyone to engage and discuss things. He says 'If people have to hate me in order to do that, they so be it,'" he added.
We would have avoided weighing in on this, but we think he did a pretty good job navigating it!

She's had it with the trolls!
Khloe Kardashian quietly disabled the Instagram comments on pics of cheating boyfriend Tristan Thompson, as fans have flood her page with their opinions about her relationship ever since news broke that the NBA star was unfaithful throughout her entire pregnancy. Her 75.6 million followers have been silenced!
A new report yesterday claimed that the Revenge Body star is "making a life for her family in Cleveland," and that she was most likely going to forgive the athlete and try to move past his indiscretions for the sake of their daughter True.
That said, she wants to mark her first holiday as a mom with her sisters back in LA, and plans to fly back for Mother's Day.
"She’ll be with her family for Mother’s Day. This is a very special Mother’s Day in the Kardashian/Jenner family. For Khloe and Kylie it’s their first one, and it’s Kim’s first Mother Day with Chicago," a source told ET.
The reality star and the Cleveland Cavaliers player haven't spend a lot of time together since their baby girl's birth, due to his team's rigorous game schedule, and that has actually been beneficial in determining their future together.
"The time alone is good for her, she’s very independent and having this space is essential for her to work through everything. If they work through all this, they still have a long way to go to get back a solid foundation,†the source added.

We are Team Yeezy all the way! Why are people so quick to call him "crazy" when all he's trying to do is understand his fellow human beings and spread love?!
We caught Kanye going into his office yesterday, and he stopped to ask our videographer about his life as a paparazzo, in an attempt to learn more about what motivates different people.
"When I came out to LA I didn't have a family. Having a family gave me a whole new respect for dads, bro. Because you guys are just feeding your family. You actually have a very important role, and I feel like your role is not respected. Everybody's role in society is important," he told our videographer.
"You're right we do get looked down upon a lot, and sometimes other people's decisions get looked down upon by people that don't even really interact with you. I get to see you more than other people do, and they judge you by certain things that you say, but I don't feel that they respect enough that you have your own opinion and everybody else does too," our pap responded.
'Ye was so moved by our conversation, he actually asked us to make sure we posted this video so the world could see!

How does she expect this to actually work?!
Despite her family's pleas to move back to LA, Khloe Kardashian has decided to stay in Cleveland with daughter True, and she has no plans to uproot their life in the Midwest.
"She’s creating a life for her family in Cleveland. The Tristan stuff hasn’t seemed to impact her substantially — at least not for now. She is prioritizing, and her priority is True. Whatever else comes next with Tristan, or really anything, she’ll deal with it as it comes, but she will not let anything affect this amazing time with her little girl," a source dished to People.
Whether or not the Revenge Body star will stay with the unfaithful NBA player has been speculated about ever since news broke that he was cheating on her throughout her entire pregnancy.
The K clan has lost all respect for TT, and it's unlikely they'll ever forgive him for what he's done to Khloe during what was supposed to be the happiest time in her life.
"Kim was the only one to go public with her opinion, but they're on the same page and have similar feelings. [Kourtney] is more understanding, and has counseled Khloe on how to make this work by separating from Tristan and co-parenting. Khloe listens to Kourtney the most and she confides in her daily. [Kris] thinks it's time for her to come home and start the chapter over with True. They all are going to support whatever Khloe decides but have lost all respect for Tristan," another source told E! News.
We all know who's NOT going to be in the Christmas card next year!

Who would have thought they'd be the most stable couple amid all the KarJenner relationship drama?!
Scott Disick spent yesterday looking at new rides at a car dealership in Calabasas, while his barely legal girlfriend Sofia Richie showed off her rock hard abs on a coffee run.
The pair allegedly recently went through a bit of a rough patch, but are now better than ever thanks to The Lord's romantic gestures and reassurance that he's truly over his baby mama Kourtney Kardashian.
"He really stepped up his game, he stopped taking her for granted and made sure he showed her how much he loves and appreciates her. Sofia was really insecure about Kourtney, for the longest time, and really worried that Scott wanted to get back with her again, but Scott has managed to convince her that she’s the only girl for him," a source dished to Hollywood Life.
"Sofia’s family and friends still don’t trust him, and think that he’ll break her heart, but Sofia believes she knows the real Scott, and his true intentions. Sofia’s really madly in love with Scott, he’s her everything, and she wants to be with him forever," the source added.
Speaking of forever, we asked Lionel Richie's daughter if she plans to marry LD, and watch what she says in the below video!

Kimmy K doesn't want people to assume her husband is speaking for the both of them!
Kim Kardashian isn't angry over Kanye's recent tweets and opinions, but she wants to make it fully clear that she doesn't agree with him a lot of the time.
"Kim isn’t mad about [the Trump] tweets. But she’s worried that people will think she shares the same views. She was worried if she stayed silent, fans would take it as her not having an opinion or agreeing with him,†an insider told Us Weekly about her decision to make a statement on Twitter.
"They’ve always had their own opinions and been their own people. This is the Kanye that Kim has always known," the source added.
That said, she's more than a little concerned about his behavior, but that's why she's been attempting to clarify a lot of it on social media.
"Kanye is the most amazing person when he’s not acting like this. But when he gets manic, it’s really hard for everyone around him. Kim is absolutely worried about him right now, but she will defend him publicly to the end. She’s a very loyal wife, and her tweets and everything she’s been saying is definitely very calculated to help Kanye," a source told People.
We caught Mrs. West and sister Kendall filming KUWTK in downtown LA yesterday, and we couldn't help but notice how scared the mother-of-three looked! With the recent "crip threats" being made against 'Ye, she and the rest of her family have beefed up their security detail, but we doubt she feels safe with a notorious gang hot on her trail! Her supermodel sibling showed love for her brother-in-law by wearing one of his $925 Yeezy sweaters, but that's easy for her to do, as she's not caught in the middle of this mess!

This is shocking.
Kanye admitted on TMZ Live that he got addicted to powerful painkillers after he secretly underwent a liposuction procedure, and that ultimately contributed to his 2016 mental breakdown.
"I was drugged the f**k out, bro! I was on opioids... I was addicted to opioids. I had plastic surgery because I was trying to look good for y'all. I got liposuction because I didn't want y'all to call me fat just like y'all did to Rob at the wedding and made him fly home before me and Kim got married. I didn't want y'all to call me fat so I got liposuction and they gave me opioids," he confessed.
When the Louis Vuitton Don tried to get off the pills when his dealer told him they "kill genius," he landed in the hospital and was eventually prescribed even more medication!
"I went for taking two pills to taking seven. The reason I dropped those tweets and everything, cause I was drugged the f*** out bro. Y'all have me scared, of myself, my vision so I took some pills so I wouldn't go to hospital and prove everyone right. We are drugged out. We are following other people's opinion. We are controlled by the media. And today it all changes," he added.
What is it about being one of the Kardashian men that turns them all into drug addicts?!

Sorry not sorry!
Miley Cyrus made an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! last night, and confessed that she wishes she had never apologized for that infamous nude Vanity Fair photoshoot in 2008, which she posed for when she was still underage.
"It was ten years ago and I think a lot of things have changed, and the conversation has changed. Sure some people thought I did something in their eyes, but I think it was really wrong to put this on top of someone, that this is my shame and that I should be ashamed of myself. That's not a nice thing to tell someone that they should be ashamed of themselves," she explained.
"I'm sure I did [apologize] but I'm sure someone told me to. You know what? That's why I don't do what people tell me anymore, because that idea sucked. I think at that time I just wanted it to go away, and I was trying to balance and understand what being a role model is. And to me being a role model has been my free-spiritness and my unapologetic attitude for decisions I feel comfortable with," she continued.
"When this photo was taken, my little sister was on-set and she was sitting with Annie Lebowitz taking photos too, and there wasn't anything sexualized about this on-set. It was everyone else's poisonous thoughts and minds that ended up turning this into something it wasn't meant to be. I shouldn't be ashamed, they should be," she concluded.
