Kanye West has had his eyes on Kim Kardashian for a long time and was determined to undermine her 2011 engagement to Kris Humphries.
On the upcoming final episode of "Kocktails with Khloe," West reveals to other members of the Jenner/Kardashian clan how his plan of action was put into motion.
"I got a phone because somebody decided they wanted to marry Kris Humphries, and I was like ...," Yeezy told the family, via PEOPLE. "I wasn't up to anything, and I looked on the Internet, and there was Kim with some extremely tall person, and I was like, 'I need to call her or something.' I started sending her pictures of certain basketball players that used to be cool, but now they wear their pants like all the way up here: 'This is your future!'"
West's plan didn't stop Kim and Kris from getting married, but probably had a residual affect because the couple called it quits 72 days after tying the knot.
In April of 2012 the "Power" rapper and reality television star began dating. They got married on May 24, 2014, and now have two kids.
The "Kocktails with Khloe" finale airs Wednesday at 10 p.m. ET on FYI.
The tweet comes just a little over a week after McGregor sat ringside watching his teammate Charlie Ward defeat Joao Carvalho, who died less than 48 hours after undergoing emergency brain surgery.
Joao Carvalho
"Terrible news regarding Joao Carvalho. To see a young man doing what he loves, competing for a chance at a better life, and then to have it taken away is truly heartbreaking," McGregor wrote on his Facebook page after hearing the news. "We are just men and women doing something we love in the hope of a better life for ourselves and our families. Nobody involved in combat sports of any kind wants to see this. It is such a rare occurrence that I don't know how to take this. I was ringside supporting my teammate, and the fight was so back and forth, that I just can't understand it. My condolences go out to Joao's family and his team. Their man was a hell of a fighter and will be sorely missed by all. Combat sport is a crazy game and with the recent incident in boxing and now this in MMA, it is a sad time to be a fighter and a fight fan. It is easy for those on the outside to criticise our way of living, but for the millions of people around the world who have had their lives, their health, their fitness and their mental strength all changed for the better through combat, this is truly a bitter pill to swallow. We have lost one of us. I hope we remember Joao as a champion, who pursued his dream doing what he loved, and show him the eternal respect and admiration he deserves. Rest in peace, Joao."

Less than two years after signing with Drake's OVO Sound imprint ILoveMakonnen has left the label, according to Billboard.
The singer's 2014 self titled debut EP featuring the hit single "Club Goin Up on a Tuesday" and it's 2015 follow up, "ILoveMakonnen 2," were released by OVO Sound via it's distribution arm, Warner Bros. Records.
However, Makonnen's 2016"Drink More Water 6"project was released exclusively by Warner Bros., so the exact time of his split from Drizzy's label isn't known.
He spoke about his status with OVO during a March 2015 interview with FADER.
"It's cool, they put out my music and stuff and we just keep it moving. Let them tell you their relationship with Makonnen," he said at the time. "I'm just an artist, being an artist, and there's only so much that I can do."
At this time there's been no statement from Makonnen or OVO Sound regarding the artist's departure.
Wu Tang Clan rapper Ol' Dirty Bastard passed away on November 13, 2004 at the age of 35. The official cause of death was a drug overdose, caused by a mixture of cocaine and the prescription drug Tramadol.
In a new interview with VladTV, Dirty's 26-year old son ODB Jr., says his father ingested the drugs, while making him watch on that fateful night.
"The most memorable moment was the last time I was with him 'cause I gathered all that energy. A lot of the Clan members was around. It was like the fire and the phoenix was in the ashes. And it was leaving his body," says ODB Jr. "We was kinda hanging out. He was smoking a lot of drugs. The last time he was here he got as high as he could ever get. And he told me to sit there and watch him. Eye to eye ... we did that. Then that was it."

Federal prosecutors in New Orleans seeking convictions in murder cases that allegedly took place between 2009 and 2011, will bring into evidence several music videos featuring hometown artist and G-Unit Records rapper Curtis "Kidd Kidd" Stewart, according to The New Orleans Advocate.
ICYMI: Rap videos from ‘Kidd Kidd,’ ‘Qp’ take center stage in sprawling New Orleans gang murder case https://t.co/y5KnKE1aln
In a 45-count indictment handed down last year, prosecutors claim the39ersgang committed a dozen murders to build their heroin business.
The feds plan to use lyrics and visuals from songs in an attempt to prove the existence of the 39ers.

One of the videos is for the song "GTO QP" featuring Kidd and Quincy "QP" Briggs.
“Yo, ho, you wanna ride a gang 39er/ so that’s why her old man can’t find her,” Kidd raps in the song.
In the clip, admitted murderer turned government witness Gregory "Rabbit" Stewart, is seen with a gun tucked under his arm in one scene. In another he drapes his arm around Kidd's neck.

Neither Kidd or QP are being accused of any crime. Prosecutors allege the relationship between the rappers and alleged gang members was beneficial for everyone. The gang got shout outs from star artists, while the rapper's street cred was boosted.
“What’s interesting (in this case) is that the rappers are uncharged. In many cases, there have been allegations that the rappers are involved in the gang, and somebody has been charged,” said University of Georgia law professor Andrea Dennis, author of Poetic (In)Justice? Rap Music Lyrics as Art, Life and Criminal Evidence told The Advocate. “It indicates a new path that prosecutors might be going down. Even though the defendants aren’t the actual artists, they’re hanging out with gangsta rappers. It’s part and parcel of creating this story: This is how they live, how they do business. There’s certainly an inflammatory effect,” she continued, adding that prosecutors in the 39’ers case appear to be seeking “a rub-off effect” through the videos featuring Kidd Kidd and Briggs. "It’s still this notion (from the prosecutors) that rappers must be rapping about what’s accurate and truthful, and here they are assisting with gang members, and they’re all bad.”
Other videos and music being looked at feature Dust Gang, the 8-9 Boyz, Kango Slim, Ashton "BMG Pound" Price and Big Freedia.
"There’s a public relations aspect of this organization, including intimidation,” says U.S. Attorney Myles Ranier. “Keeping potential victims and witnesses in fear of the enterprise.”
U.S. District Judge Jay Zainey will ultimately decide what a jury will be allowed to hear in the racketeering conspiracy case.
During a hearing earlier this month he and Ranier went back and forth about what were the facts vs. fiction.
“[Kidd's] a national phenomenon. Good for him. He’s making a ton of money. ... How do we know what he knows about the 39’ers except what somebody told him?” Zainey argued.
“He is someone who is promoting the organization, furthering the aims of the organization,” the prosecutor responded.
“How do we know he’s intentionally doing that?”
“This is uploaded on the World Wide Web,” Ranier said.

No disrespect to the Hall of Famers—from Kanye to Clooney, Gosling to Pharrell—but this year we're feeling a different, right-this-second strain of pro-level style. We speak of men who look just as sharp on the street as they do on the red carpet. Who realize that, in the camera-phone age, every little walk to the corner can turn into a photo op. And who rarely bother with suits—but when they do, they really make it count. So, with no further ado…
A bizarre video showing Johnny Depp and his wife Amber Heard apologizing for Heard illegally bringing their Yorkshire terriers, Pistol and Boo, into Australia in April 2015, was just released.
The couple, especially Depp, look extremely uncomfortable in the 42-second clip.
Heard pleaded guilty to one count of producing a false document (her Incoming Passenger Card).when she appeared in Southport Magistrates Court in Queensland on Monday, April 18, 2016.
She could have been sentenced to 10 years in prison and fined $7,650, but as part of the deal cut with the court she received a one-month good behavior bond. She and her "Black Mass" star husband were also required to make the apology video.
"If we start letting movie stars — even though they've been the sexiest man alive twice — to come into our nation (with pets), then why don't we just break the laws for everybody?" Agriculture Minister Barnaby Joyce said, according to the Associated Press. "It's time that Pistol and Boo buggered off back to the United States."
In the clip Depp looks like he'd rather by anywhere else while he reads an obvious script. Watch the pure comedy below.
