One thing’s for sure; Kanye West has had a heck of a headline-grabbing week.

When not dropping jaws for his red carpet antics at Sunday’s GRAMMYs (February 2), he followed up with a shocking interview where he admitted to being diagnosed with autism and claimed he is the only rapper alive who can beat Kendrick Lamar in a rap battle.

As if that wasn’t enough, the music and fashion mogul spewed a string of ableist, fatphobic, antisemitic, and homophobic tweets on Thursday (February 6) that sent his fans and critics spiraling in social media chatter.

Seemingly with no intention to cool the fire, West returned to X (formerly known as Twitter) on Friday (February 7) to douse the flame with even more incendiary commentary.

Ashanti has broken her silence on the death of Irv Gotti, who passed away this week at age 54.

The music mogul launched the R&B star into the stratosphere by way of his Music Inc imprint and helped her dominate the 00s music landscape on a roster that also included Ja Rule.

Ashanti and Gotti have both also been open about how their professional relationship turned personal for a brief period. And, in the years before his death, Gotti magnetized backlash for his regular rumination on this, as well as his decision to publicize his business issues with his former protégé.

Now, in an emotional tribute, the ‘Only U’ singer pays homage to Gotti while acknowledging their complicated standing.

Transforming the iconic Los Angeles venue into the “Pride Lands,” the state-of-the-art experience brought the soundtrack and film to life via larger-than-life costumes, skillful dancers, and a 70-person orchestra.

Beyond performances by Broadway stars and even cast members of the original film (Nathan Lane, Jason Weaver), stars like North West (daughter of Kanye West and Kim Kardashian), Heather Headley, and EGOT-winning diva Jennifer Hudson brought the house down with their respective selections.

The standout undoubtedly came from the latter who dropped jaws with her stirring rendition of ‘Circle of Life’ – 20 years after doing the same on ‘American Idol.’

See the performance inside.
