Earlier This week Kanye West gave an awesome performance of  his new song ‘Power’ at the Singapore Music Fest.  In the song Kanye apologizes to his fans:

But when I finally got the power, what the f*ck did i do? I’m so sorry to y’all, everyone one of y’all that had to fight for my name/ Everyone of y’all a year ago that I made feel ashamed/ Everyone that said “Kanye is that n*gga quick [inaudible] my name, And all ya’ll…I am the one to blame / and the people that I let down, I wanna tell you, right here, right now that I’m a new man and understand my position of power.

Kudos to Kanye for taking time out to better himself… it takes a strong person to admit to having  a problem and an even stronger person to do something about it. *clapping it up for Kanye*  I’m a huge Kanye fan but I was extremely worried about him after that Taylor Swift spotlight stealing incident. I guess time will tell if he is truly a changed man…either way I’m pretty sure that I’ll remain a fan. I look forward to hearing more of that honest and “in your face” Kanye music that I’ve been missing?

DMX is back in jail! The rapper started serving a 90 day sentence on Monday after violating probation for several offenses. The 39-year-old turned himself in this afternoon at a Los Angeles courthouse  from where he was  transported to county lockup.

Earl Simmons, better known as rapper DMX, has been in and out of jail several times in the last couple of years. Back in 2002 he plead no contest to reckless driving. More recently he spent 90 days in jail after drug possession and animal cruelty.

Reportedly the judge asked for a psychological evaluation and it was made clear that he could not serve his time on house arrest or work release.

Dallas Cowboy’s Rookie Dez Bryant Refuses to Participate in Rookie Hazing

Dallas Cowboy’s rookie Dez Bryant has caused a stir already. He hasn’t even spent a week in training camp and already he has started a bit of a controversy. Apparently the no.1 draft pick has refused to carry teammate Roy Williams’ shoulder pads in a little rookie hazing. Bryant recently signed a five year deal worth $11.8 million with the Cowboy’s.

When asked why he wouldn’t participate he said, “I’m not doing it,” he explained, ” I feel like I was drafted to play football, not carry another player’s pads.”

Roy Williams didn’t agree with Bryant and says that he had to go through similar hazing as a rookie. He said ” Everybody has to go through it,” he added “I had to go through it. No matter if you’re a no.1 pick ot the 7,000th, you’ve still got to do something when you’re a rookie.”

*SN* Shoe and Clothing Apparel company ‘Under Armour’  has dropped Bryant. According to CNBC It has everything to do with the fact that Bryant — less than a month after being drafted 24th overall — hit Cowboys OTAs in Nike shoes and gloves, and has been wearing the brand ever since. However, Nike spokesman Kejuan Wilkins has confirmed that the Cowboy’s rookie is not at all endorsed by Nike.
