Rapper Kanye West Breaks His Silence On Allegations He Punched A Fan
]
Kanye West is breaking his silence on allegations he punched out a fan during a tirade in downtown Los Angeles, including posting a horrifying picture.
The ‘Donda’ rapper took to Instagram to make his brutal statement, which included sharing a stunning image of what appears to be a monkey stripped of its skin. As we reported, Kanye is being accused of attacking a fan following at night out in West Hollywood. The rapper allegedly punched the person in the face, after they asked him for an autograph.
Shockingly, West posted an image of what appears to be a small monkey who has been stripped of its skin and is screaming in agony. “MY LIFE WAS NEVER EAZY,” the rapper captioned the image. We should note, it’s unclear where he got the picture, and if it has any other deeper meaning.
Kanye West Posts Horrifying Image In Response To Punching Allegations
According to reports, Kanye was partying with his new girlfriend — Julia Fox — and left the Hollywood nightclub for a recording studio in downtown L.A. At around 3 am, police were called to the scene of an assault where the rapper allegedly knocked out a fan who had approached him. One report claims the fan walked up to Kanye — who was sitting in his car — and the rapper jumped out and punched him.
Los Angeles Police officers responded to the area and interviewed the victim and other witnesses. By the time detectives arrived, Kanye was gone.
Video of the altercation made its way online, and it clearly shows a man on the ground after the alleged punch. The reported “punch” is not in the footage. Scroll down to see the video.

As you can imagine, many of Kanye’s fans pleaded with him to take the image down from social media — and a few even offered to help with what appears to be a rough day for the rapper. “Time to 180 and return home Ye. We praying. this ain’t it. God’s not finished. Surrender it all to Christ. “Without counsel, plans go awry, But in the multitude of counselors they are established.” – Proverbs 15:22,” one person wrote. Another added, “You still have time to delete this.”
Like most of us, many responded simply, “I was not prepared for this to be the first thing that I saw when I opened [Instagram].
Obviously, Kanye hasn’t made an official or legal statement regarding the fairly serious allegations. Unfortunately for him, the incident is now under investigation by LAPD and will be pasted to the City Attorney for possible criminal charges. A misdemeanor battery charge carries a maximum penalty of six months in jail.
Fans Plead With Kanye West To Delete The Post On Instagram
An hour after posting the horrifying image, Kanye’s post was “liked” over half a million times.
This isn’t the first time Kanye has been arrested for allegedly assaulting someone who approached him in public. Back in 2008, the rapper was detained after attacking a camera operator at LAX airport and smashing his camera.

The rap star discussed his children - North, eight, Saint, six, Chicago, three, and Psalm, two - during the clip.
The Block Party star opened up: “My solace comes from seeing my kids and getting a solid schedule.”
He continued: “It’s why I even got the house. The media flipped it like there was something wrong with me getting a house next to my kids.
“There’s nothing that’s going to keep me from my children. That’s what I want everybody to know.”
Kanye concluded: “Don’t play with me. Don’t play with my children. Ain’t no security going to get between me and my children.
“You ain’t going to gaslight me. You ain’t going to run this narrative on me.”
The entire interview from Hollywood Unlocked will be released on January 17, 2022.
HIDDEN HILLS
Back in December 2021, the rapper dropped millions for the Hidden Hills estate in California, according to Dirt.
The property has enough space for about four bedrooms and up to three bathrooms.
The estate also has a ranch, which came with horse stables.
Kanye secured the deed after having paid about $421,000 over the asking price.
Kim, 41, filed for divorce from her ex back in February 2021.
THE DISS TRACK
Recently, the Power singer reportedly has a new track, titled Eazy, which was leaked on social media.
Kim’s ex appeared to have gone straight for Suicide Squad actor in the lyrics.
Pete, 28, has been linked to the Keeping Up With the Kardashians alum since they kissed in an Aladdin skit on Saturday Night Live back in October 2021.
Ye rapped: “God saved me from the crash, just so I can beat Pete Davidson’s a**.”
The official version of the song is reportedly expected to be released in the early morning of Saturday, January 15th.
Both Kanye and The Game shared the same image of what fans in the comments believed to be a “skinned monkey” with a red background.
The two rappers captioned their posts: “MY LIFE WAS NEVER EAZY”
The Game added the hashtag: “#Drillmatic”
NEW ROMANCE
The leak of Kanye’s latest track happened after he had been spotted in public with the Uncut Gems actress.
Actress Julia Fox, 31, and the Donda rapper were recently spotted together on a dinner date at the Carbone Restaurant in Miami, Florida.
The two appeared to be enjoying themselves as they smiled during their candlelit dinner.
When they went out on another date together, the two saw a Broadway show and ate at Carbone in New York.

How many black head coaches are in the NFL after Flores, Culley firings?
]
Among the many firings since the NFL regular season ended, Brian Flores and David Culley were just two, but how many black head coaches are there in the NFL now both have been relieved from their duties?
It’s not uncommon for NFL teams who have failed to reach the post-season to fire their head coach.
Two such teams in that situation in the 2021/22 campaign were the Miami Dolphins and Houston Texans.
Both franchises were led by black head coaches – Brian Flores (main picture) (three seasons) and David Culley (below) (one season), respectively.
Their firings this week have reduced the number of black head coaches in the NFL.
But how many black coaches are currently in position in the NFL?

Flores and Culley relieved of duties
For Flores, a three-year stint in Miami came to an end after a 9-8 season, in which they finished third in the AFC East.
Their record was not too dissimilar from the 10-7 New England Patriots – who advanced to the post-season.
Under Flores, the Dolphins failed to advance to the post-season in any of his three terms in charge – indeed they haven’t done so since 2016.

As for Culley – he was let go after a ‘one-and-done’ year with the Texans.
A long-time assistant coach, Culley finally got his head coach break with the Texans in 2021.
Given the off-field situation at the franchise, it was unlikely Culley would have been able to get the Texans into the post-season.
Indeed, despite winning his first game, the Texans recorded a 4-13 season in the NFC South – enough for third place.
Flores was fired on January 10th, 2022, with Culley losing his position on January 13th.

How many black head coaches remain in the NFL?
Flores and Culley made up a majority of black head coaches in the NFL.
Prior to their dismissals, there were three black head coaches within the NFL.
That number has now fallen to one.
The only black head coach currently in the NFL is long-time Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin.

Tomlin has been in post since 2007 – claiming success in Super Bowl XLIII in 2009.
The Steelers defeated the Arizona Cardinals 27-23 in Florida.
Tomlin remains to this day the youngest head coach to win the Super Bowl.
However, he may not remain the only black head coach in the NFL.
There are currently vacancies at the following teams – as of 12pm ET on January 14th.

Denver Broncos
Houston Texans
Miami Dolphins

Netflix raises prices on all plans in US

Netflix raises prices on all plans in US
In the United States, Netflix has raised the cost of all of its plans as of right now. A $15.50 monthly increase in the basic plan and a $20 monthly increase in the 4K plan are being announced by the corporation. The entry-level package, which excludes HD, will now cost $10 per month instead of $9.
New customers will be hit with the increases right away. Current Netflix customers may expect the price increase to be implemented “gradually,” with a 30-day notice via email.
The cost of a Netflix subscription has risen substantially in recent years. The regular plan climbed to $14 per month from $13 in late 2020, after earlier rising to $13 from from $11 in 2019. Netflix hiked its fees in 2017 and 2015 before that. Due to the company’s concern over losing customers due to a $1 per month price rise, Netflix allowed existing members to maintain their subscription rates for an additional two years after the first announcement in 2014. Since then, it hasn’t provided such a large benefit.
The price rises come amid a profitable yet tough era for Netflix. The corporation already has a multitude of members across the US, and getting more is a struggle — making price rises an apparent option for how it might generate more money. At the same time, Netflix is now competing with many other significant streaming services for attention, like Disney Plus and HBO Max, and it’s been spending big on content to stay up.
“We’re updating our prices so that we can continue to offer a wide variety of quality entertainment options,” a Netflix representative told Reuters. “As always we offer a range of plans so members can pick a price that works for their budget.”
It’s not only Netflix that’s recently raised fees. In October, Hulu raised the monthly fee for both its ad-supported and ad-free plans by $1.
