The Kanye West Gap Memes Are Here and They’re Hilarious

Kanye West is living proof that manifestation is real.

On Friday (June 26), the Chicago native announced his multi-year deal with Gap, which will consists of basic clothing for men, women and children. The clothing line stemming from the upcoming 10-year partnership will be called YZY Gap and is expected to be available online and in stores in the first half of 2021.

Back in 2013, Kanye said during an interview that he attempted to do a deal with the brand, but politics played a role in the idea not coming to fruition. Then, in 2015, during an interview with Style.com, ’Ye said, “One of my dreams was to be the head creative director of The Gap. I’d like to be the Steve Jobs of The Gap.”

Shortly after the announcement was made, fans quickly hopped on social media expressing their excitement for the new YZY Gap pieces that ‘Ye says will be “at accessible price points.” The rapper’s Yeezy Adidas apparel has had eight collections, ranging anywhere from $185 to $1,100.

One person wrote, “An affordable yeezy and gap collection ?? Say less kanye.”

Another supporter posted a GIF of DJ Khaled with his open shirt blowing in the wind along with a caption that said, “Me after leaving the Gap store with 30 different shades of tan Yeezy hoodies.”

After sharing the news of the new venture, ’Ye also revealed the names of those joining his YZY Gap team, in addition to creatives contributing to his new animated show, Kids See Ghosts. “YZY GAP BEGINS MOWALOLA JOINS AS YZY GAP DESIGN DIRECTOR KSG CARTOON MURAKAMI CUDI JESUS IS KING FILM ON APPLE JAMES TURRELL YZY SPLY DOC NICK KNIGHT FOAM RUNNER RELEASE MADE IN USA JESUS IS KING DR. DRE VERSION WASH US IN THE BLOOD VIDEO ARTHUR JAFA #WESTDAYEVER,” he tweeted.

Kanye’s Kids See Ghosts cartoon show with Kid Cudi was also announced by Cudi earlier today. The program, which is based off of their 2018 album, doesn’t have a release date yet, but is said to be arriving soon.

Lil Durk Co Defendants OTF Dede and David Lindsey Seek Acquittal and New Trial

OTF Dede and David Lindsey are fighting their recent stalking convictions as the legal process in Lil Durk’s case continues to play out.

Lil Durk was facing five charges, two of them murder-for-hire related and three of them stalking related, while the two co-defendants were convicted on three counts of stalking in the same case. Durk was just cleared of all charges in that case a couple of weeks ago, but Dede and Lindsey didn’t get the same result.

The latest legal twist adds another chapter to a case that has remained tightly connected to Lil Durk’s ongoing legal troubles. Durk was acquitted in the initial murder-for-hire case, but his larger legal battle is far from over.

For Dede and Lindsey, the immediate issue is their stalking convictions and whether the court will grant either of the new requests filed. The couple’s pleas carry long prison sentences, and the pending motions are especially important for their attorneys.
The court has not ruled on the Rule 29 and Rule 33 motions, leaving the next phase of litigation uncertain.

Lil Durk, meanwhile, is set to appear in court on November 4 for a bond hearing. His trial in the VICAR case was scheduled for the next few weeks, but it is likely to be delayed.

Separate legal proceedings are now moving forward in the cases of Durk, Dede, and Lindsey, who remain active. Dede and Lindsey’s latest filings ensure that the group’s legal saga continues even after Durk’s acquittal in the original case.

Meek Mill steps back from his ongoing feud with DJ Akademiks,

Meek Mill and DJ Akademiks’ ongoing social media beef has taken another turn, with Meek seemingly getting the last word.

The two have been feuding for around a decade, and their tensions have become closely tied to the fallout from Meek’s beef with Drake. Following Akademiks taking Drake’s side in the public feud, Meek clearly didn’t want to be featured on Akademiks’ page. Since then, they have exchanged occasional messages and renewed disagreements.

The latest chapter heated up around the Lil Durk trial. Meek Mill called out Akademiks for his coverage and commentary on the case, saying he had become a bad influence on the culture.

Akademiks fired back hard, and the beef snowballed into a back and forth of threats between the two. At one point, Meek asked for Akademiks’ address, while Akademiks showed off an arsenal of machine guns and rifles. The confrontation had been really serious before apparently cooling off in recent days.

The message is the latest chapter in a long-running feud that has flared up several times over the past decade. This latest back-and-forth could be Meek’s attempt to close the door on the feud, but given the history between the two, tensions can flare up fast.
So far, it looks like Meek is putting a line under his part of the conversation. Only time will tell whether Akademiks responds.
