HIP HOP NEWS: DJ Premier On The History Of D&D Studios / Paul McCartney’s Ex-Wife Thinks Working With Rihanna And Kanye West Is A Sign Of Desperation / Suge Knight Collapses in Court After Bail Set at $25 Million
The Paul McCartney revival is well and truly under way thanks to a pair of hit collaborations. After generating plenty of attention as the guest star of Kanye West’s “Only One,” The Beatles frontman joined Yeezy and Rihanna for “FourFiveSeconds” and returned to the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 for the first time in 29 years. Not bad for an old-timer? Well, the pop legend’s ex-wife isn’t that impressed.
“If I go down the street, all I get is kids coming up to me,” Heather Mills said during an interview on Irish radio. “Half of them don’t even know who he is. That’s why he’s got to do songs with Rihanna and Kanye West, so people remember.” I’m not sure what alternate universe this woman is living in, but she’s displaying a Natalia Kills level of delusion by thinking she’s more famous than Paul McCartney.
Heather, who was married to Sir Paul between 2002 and 2008, felt the need to add: “I own the biggest vegan company in the world.” Which obviously explains her massive celebrity among children. This is embarrassing, but not entirely surprising. Madonna is constantly being criticized for working with younger artists. Of course, these inter-generational collabs are bid to stay relevant. I just don’t understand how that’s a bad thing.
Marion Suge Knight collapsed in court Friday after a judge set his bail at $25 million. The rap mogul, who has been charged with murder in a fatal hit-and-run, was taken by ambulance to a jail hospital. After the bail hearing, Knight collapsed and the judge closed the courtroom. His attorney told reporters that he noticed Knight was sweating and that his eyelid appeared to flutter before he fell and hit his head on a chair.
“He was dripping sweat, like someone poured a bucket of water on him,” attorney Matt Fletcher said. “He wiped the sweat off his head and said, ‘I haven’t had my medication.’” He is currently being evaluated, but details regarding his condition are unknown.
The Death Row Records co-founder is accused of running down two men in Compton on Jan. 29 and killing one of them. He has pleaded not guilty and claims that he was acting out of self defense after he was attacked following a dispute at a film shoot.
