Kanye’s slam on President George W. Bush is the only thing most people remember about A Concert For Hurricane Relief, the telethon in support of victims of the tragic 2005 gulf coast Hurricane Katrina.

Though Obama did not realize he was being recorded at the time, he maintained his position on ... 

Kanye’s breakup with model Amber Rose, who is now engaged to Pittsburgh rapper Wiz Khalifa, got pretty ugly. After dating from 2008 to 2010, Kanye released the graphic rant “Blame Game” in which he accused an unnamed ex of cheating, using him to gain fame, and being in relationship with another recording artist. Amber argued that Kanye had been having rendezvous with his current girlfriend, Kim Kardashian.

Today” host Matt Lauer had a heated exchange with Kanye in November 2010. The “Watch The Throne” rapper appeared on the show to discuss President George W. Bush’s book “Decision Points” in which he mentions Kanye’s Hurricane Katrina slam, “George Bush doesn’t care about black people.” As Kanye responded, “Today” producers played a video of Bush reacting to the comment.

As Kanye was talking, the producers played the clip. Kanye complained. “Yo, how am I supposed to talk if you’re gonna run this thing in the middle while I’m talking?” After they resumed the interview, Kanye said, “Please don’t let that happen. It’s ridiculous.” Kanye further complained on Twitter. less
