Kanye West ranted about everything from art to fame to compromise in this new Surface magazine interview, and while we kinda see where he's going with it, he also sounds slightly insane.
"I think business has to be stupider. I want to do really straightforward, stupid business — just talk to me like a 4-year-old. And I refuse to negotiate. I do not negotiate. I can collaborate. But I’m an artist, so as soon as you negotiate, you’re being compromised," he explained of his desire for more transparent communication.
The rapper wants communication to be so simple, in fact, that he'd like words and language to become obsolete! Wtf?!
"I don’t think people are going to talk in the future. They’re going to communicate through eye contact, body language, emojis, signs. Imagine that. If everyone was forced to learn sign language….I would prefer to do that without having to use words. It’s funny because I’ve made a living off of words, but words get in the way of what you really want to say," he continued.
"I can’t stand this whole 'How was your day?' thing that agents always say. I’m like, “You don’t care about my day. Why’d you ask me about my day? Did we get done what we were supposed to get done?†he vented.
Now that he's canceled his Saint Pablo tour, he's going to have to find a new forum to deliver his disses!
While we thought Gigi Hadid's impression of Melania Trump at the 2016 American Music Awards last night was pretty hilarious, but it seems not everyone was in love with the co-host's mocking bit.
While hosting the musical show, the 21-year-old mocked Trump's RNC speech in which she plagiarized Michelle Obama's 2008 DNC speech.
The Victoria's Secret model told the crowd, “This is my Melania Trump impression. I have to get the face right." She then put on a heavy Eastern European accent and pulled a duck face, and said, “I love my husband President Barack Obama and our children, Sasha and Malia."
While much of the audience laughed at the impression, many of the viewers at home weren't so thrilled with the jabs at the future first lady.
Critics disliked Gigi's "racist" impression of the 46-year-old Slovenian native -- and thought the bit was "unacceptable.
Personally we thought the impression was pretty good, we just thought the writing needed to be better! Keep up the impression and get some better jokes!

It all started with Taylor Swift singing Drake's "Jumpman" on the treadmill, which ended in a face plant ... now her rumored lover Drake is belting out TSwiz' "Bad Blood" as he pumps iron and it doesn't go well either.
In a new commercial for Apple Music, released last night during the American Music Awards, Drake is in the gym, listening to Frank Ocean as he lifts weights but as soon as his bro leaves the room, he switches to "Bad Blood" and belts is out while he bench presses. Watch ...
The rapper was scheduled to perform through the end of the year, ended in Brooklyn for a New Year's Eve performance at Jay Z's venue in Brooklyn. But that's NOT gonna happen ...
Sunday night, a source told us: "[Kanye] is screaming at everybody -- it's like he wants to make it everyone else's fault that he's having a breakdown." Tonight's show was a re-reschedule from show earlier this month that he cut short after storming off the stage unexpectedly.
"He can't hack it anymore. He just doesn't want to do it. At least he's threatening not to do it. He's telling his people right now that he's finished and that his managers and agents and everyone else needs to figure it out," the source told us. Well, they figured it out pretty damn quick! Ticketmaster has deleted all the rest of the scheduled dates at all the venues for the Saint Pablo tour. DONE!
Thursday night, Yeezy had a breakdown, ranting about Jay Z and Beyonce and Trump and anything else he could think of. He performed for only 30 minutes -- after being 90 minutes late -- and disappointed thousands of fans with his mic drop, out. Now thousands more will be clamoring for their money back for tickets they purchased officially and for those bought from resellers. How's Kanye's concert promoter going to handle this?!
The bigger question is, though, is Kanye have a breakdown? Has Kim's going into hiding following her robbery in Paris finally gotten to Kanye? Maybe he's feeling jealous about her ability to remove herself from the spotlight and he wants a little of the same ...
What a night! Drake, Ariana Grande, Selena Gomez, The Chainsmokers, Drake, Twenty One Pilots, Prince, Zayn Malik, Drake, Fifth Harmony, Lady Gaga, Drake and so many more!
Okay, so we named Drake a few times but that's because he was nominated in THIRTEEN categories, breaking Michael Jackson's previous record of 11 noms in 1984. He picked up the prizes for Favorite Artist and Favorite Album in the Rap/Hip-Hop category, while Ariana won Artist of the Year. Selena won Favorite Female Artists - Pop/Rock. Top Soundtrack went to Prince, posthumously, for Purple Rain. Zayn Malik won for New Artist of the Year.

Selena Gomez delivered an emotional speech tonight at the AMAs -- it was her first public appearance since entering rehab in August to focus on her mental health.
Selena told fans, "In 2014 this stage was actually the first time I was authentically 100 percent honest with all of you. I think it’s safe to say most of you know a lot of my life whether I liked it or not. I had to stop because I had everything and I was absolutely broken inside and I kept it all together enough to where I would never let you down, but I kept it too much together to where I let myself down."
She went on: "I don’t want to see your bodies on Instagram. I want to see what’s in here. I’m so grateful to be able to share what I love with people that I love. You guys are so damn loyal but if you are broken you do not have to stay broken."
In 2014, Gomez performed "The Heart Wants What It Wants" -- a raw performance conveying her true feelings for ex-boyfriend Justin Bieber. During the number, she broke down crying, while images of Bieber played behind her, looming over her.
Meanwhile, it seems like Gomez made a big fan last night, namely Lady Gaga, who posted a snap of the two of them after the 24-year-old's powerful speech. Gaga has come forward in the past to talk about her depression, so it's no surprise that the singer was so supportive of the brunette's vulnerable and touching moment in the spotlight.
