Rich The Kid, Kanye West, and Ty Dolla $ign's "Gimme A Second 2" is hyping up Rich's new album. But it's also contributing to the ever-present tension between Ye and his ex-wife, Kim Kardashian. Moreover, in his verse, he blasts Kim for hiring a "manny" to provide a stronger and more present male influence. "My oldest said, ‘Daddy not going to Heaven,’" the Chicago artist raps on the cut. "Treat me like a deadbeat, said I wasn’t present / They was tryna treat a king like a peasant / They bought my son a new dad like it’s no headache / Don’t give a f**k about s**t, I’m irreverent."
"I do think that my household, and even in our family, it’s very female-dominated," Kim Kardashian said of this decision during the current season of The Kardashians. She continued: "I recently hired a manny, I really wanted a male around that was going to be picking them up and taking them to sports. I was scared out of my mind to tell their dad that." Clearly, that fear manifested into a Kanye West verse, although things reportedly didn't seem so bad at the onset.
"When he was dropping off the kids, Kanye introduced himself. Played two-on-two with Saint and him, has been so nice to him," Kim Kardashian revealed. "Saying, ‘Hey, if you’re going to help raise my son – because he handed him the ball really easily – don’t do that, make him go get it himself. These are some of the rules that I would want.'" It's a curious, albeit precedented, change of heart and double-edged sword that prompts connection and jealousy.
Meanwhile, Kanye West is busy with his wife Bianca Censori... and with a sexual harassment lawsuit against him. It's a pretty turbulent time in the Yeezy universe right now, but then again, what else is new? It will be interesting to see whether this change in family dynamic will cause more rifts or chill things out. Our best wishes have the latter in mind.

Pearl Jam have announced the cancellation of their London Tottenham Hotspur Stadium gig, citing illness within the band as the reason.
The iconic rock band were supposed to take over the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium tomorrow (June 29). Eddie Vedder and co took to their official Instagram account to share a statement explaining why they will no longer be able to go on with their scheduled performance.
“The Pearl Jam concert scheduled for Saturday, June 29 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London has regrettably been cancelled due to illness in the band,” began their statement shared on the band’s socials.
“This decision was the last thing we wanted to have to make, especially as we know so many of you made travel plans based on the tour schedule. There was simply no other option based on our current health and also having to avoid further damage.
“We couldn’t be more disappointed to not play one of our favourite cities this tour. Despite best efforts, rescheduling was not possible at this time due to existing schedule commitments.”
They ended with: “We are deeply grateful for your support and sincerely apologise to the incredible Pearl Jam community for the inconvenience and disappointment. Tickets will be refunded at point of purchase.”
Pearl Jam previously took over Manchester’s CO-OP Arena on Tuesday (June 25) and according to The Guardian saw Vedder struggle with his voice due to being ill.
Previously speaking to NME about the two London shows the band had slated at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium, guitarist Stone Gossard shared: “We’ll probably try to sprinkle in some new stuff every night, and we’re playing some of the hits as well. It’s a good show. The band’s playing pretty well right now. Everyone’s in good spirits.”
He also asked if the band would ever be down to play at Glastonbury and responded with: “I don’t know the answer to that question. I know that we’ve never played before. I think maybe there was an offer a long time ago, but I don’t know that for sure. My impression of it is it’s been a very impactful festival for England in particular. I know that there’s been some amazing breakout performances there. But I haven’t kept up with it that much. Dua Lipa, right?”
In other news, Vedder recently contributed his cover of ‘Save It For Later’ by The Beat (or The English Beat) to season three of The Bear.
