Business mogul and Yeezy owner Kanye West had a surprise fashion show showcasing his Season 9 collection on Monday during Paris Fashion Week and left attendees speechless. Before the models appeared, Kanye West gave a speech wearing a White Lives Matter T-shirt emblazoned with the Pope’s face on the front and a pair of bedazzled flip-flops.
Right Wing commentator Candace Owens joined Ye on the runway, and Lauryn Hill’s daughter Selah Marley modeled the shirt, which had Twitter users confused, being that she comes from an Afro-centric family. We’re not sure what message Ye was sending with this collection but this has sparked a lot of controversy on the internet.

Celeb City’s exhibition fight between Cassper Nyovest and Priddy Ugly had the rappers discovering new respect for each other for having the guts to get into the ring together. Nearly 5,000 people gathered to watch the bout at the Sun Arena in Pretoria on Saturday with Lucas Radebe, sports, arts, and culture minister Nathi Mthethwa and transport minister Fikile Mbalula among the guests in attendance.
In the first two-minute round, Cassper knocked out Priddy Ugly to become the champion of the evening. After losing to NaakMusiQ in April this year, Cassper said he had a different strategy this time. Before their boxing match, Nyovest admitted that Priddy Ugly was in good shape and his confidence during his training sessions had intimidated him. Priddy, who has done kick-boxing in the past, said his strategy was to weaken Cassper’s power by tiring him out. Though things did not go his way, he was still proud of himself and his team.

Pep Guardiola has told winger Riyad Mahrez that he needs to get back to his best to win back his place in the Manchester City side. The Algerian winger has made just one start since August, with Phil Foden taking his place on the right wing. Guardiola says he still needs Mahrez, given the fact that the 31-year-old has been a major part of City’s recent success, but has challenged him to get back into top shape.
“He knows it,” Guardiola told a Champions League news conference when asked about Mahrez’s recent form. “I know perfectly Riyad. We need him to come back to his best and when he’s the best – personality, ability, quality, his love for the game. Step-by-step he will come back. Now he’s not playing much but he has to come back in better physical condition. The rest, I cannot teach him anything – he’s too good.”
