Kanye West released on Friday the first standalone music video from his new LP Jesus Is King and it features none other than his father, Ray West.

Kanye and Ray smile as they walk together in the shallow snow and also have fun driving ATVs. "What does it really mean to follow God?" a man says in a voiceover before the music starts.

Will the highest grossing film of the year “Black Panther” score a Best Picture nomination? It’s a fair question as no Marvel film has ever even been in the conversation. And the question has produced so much turmoil the academy temporarily thought of adding a Best Popular Film category. We should look towards another popular origin story that was not your typical Oscar fare — 1977’s “Star Wars: IV A New Hope” — as our guide towards “Black Panther’s” potential Oscar nomination haul.
George Lucas’s original “Star Wars” spawned a franchise that includes seven prequels and sequels and two spinoffs to date. Luke Skywalker’s origin story maybe outside the Oscars comfort zone but that didn’t stop the film from picking up 10 nominations including Best Picture; Best Director (Lucas); Best Original Screenplay (Lucas); and Best Supporting Actor (Alec Guinness).

Icymi, the new season of Celebrity Family Feud kicked off this Sunday with the Kardashian clan — and it was a fierce battle to the finish line! The Kar-Jenners battled it out against the Wests, but there were a few unfamiliar faces in the Wests' lineup. Aside from Kim and Kanye, three other famous family members joined their squad: Yeezy's cousins. Hmm... does this mean Kanye doesn't have siblings? Turns out, he's an only child! The 41-year-old rapper does, however, have step-siblings. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like they're on the best terms. Back in 2015, Aliya Jones said she wouldn't be surprised if her bro cheated on his wife. "A lot of people cheat, and it is much easier for him to cheat than anyone else," she told Heat magazine.
