Are the cast and crew of MTV’s hit sketch comedy series, ‘Wild ‘N Out,’ colorist?  Ask rapstress Azealia Banks and she’d say yes.

Did you miss any of the action and the response to the hoop-la by Nick Cannon (the show’s host)? See it inside:

Teyana Taylor finally released her sophomore album ‘K.T.S.E,’ yet she wasn’t able to dodge the bullets of drama that have plagued each of the summer releases helmed by Kanye West.

Indeed, the G.O.O.D Music general’s “eye for detail” saw each of the projects (Taylor’s, Pusha T‘s, Nas’, and even and his own) delayed and changes made even after arrival at retail.

While Ye’s fellow rappers have been somewhat diplomatic, Taylor has been vocal about her frustrations – and turned the volume up on them during an interview on The Breakfast Club. 

Joined by NBA playing husband Iman Shumpert, the 27-year-old explained how certain songs with personal importance were released without key verses (i.e. about her mom and daughter).

Elsewhere, during more playful corners of the conversation, the couple got all sorts of real about their embrace of threesomes (as evidenced on aptly titled album cut ‘3Way’).

Taylor also discussed hanging with her idol Janet Jackson at the Essence Music Festival and more.
