Jay Z Says He ‘Misses The Old Kanye’ Following West’s Recent Rant

Here’s something we all have in common with Jay Z: He misses the “old Kanye.” Roc-A-Fella co-founder Kareem “Biggs” Burke revealed as much following Kanye West’s surprising rant against his idol last week. Kanye blasted Jay for not personally visiting him after wife Kim Kardashian got robbed in Paris, for never setting up a playdate with their kids, and for Tidal politics preventing him from linking up with Drake, an Apple Music artist.

“I was shocked to hear what Kanye said onstage,” Burke told Page Six at his Reasonable Doubt 20th anniversary pop-up shop on Saturday. “There was never anything rumbling .?.?. so when you hear these things in public, it’s a little shocking.”

Page Six‘s source previously said Jay Z couldn’t “stand” Kanye because of his crazy personality and that the mogul can only tolerate the rapper in “small doses.” While Burke doesn’t go as far to confirm the source, he does highlight a change in Kanye’s personality that Jay Z isn’t at all fond of, telling the publication, “I’m not sure about the relationship at this point. I spoke to Jay [after Kanye’s rant] and we’re both just like, ‘We miss the old Kanye.’”

Burke went on to note that both men are too old to be rap beefing and that Kanye may have just been in his feelings at the time anyway. “[Kanye] is usually really honest. So it sounds like something he’s going through right now,” Burke added. “He may [say] something like that, and then three weeks later he may be back to, ‘That’s my brother.’”

That sounds pretty accurate from what we’ve seen from Kanye in the past. In the meantime, both men can just go ahead, pop in that College Dropout and think about the good ol’ days.

UN General Assembly: Buhari Misses Meeting With Pope Francis

President Muhammadu Buhari missed a very important event on Boko Haram and internally displaced persons, IDPs, and was also prevented from meeting with Pope Francis because he was not properly briefed by the Nigerian UN mission staff.

The Pope delivered a speech at the General Assembly in New York on Friday at 10am. Buhari also came in late for the meeting because of untidy arrangements, and erroneously took a wrong gate rather than the one reserved for presidents and heads of state. He was subsequently prevented from seeing the Catholic pontiff by security operatives because of his late arrival.

Buhari came in while other presidents and heads of government had already lined up to shake hands with the pope, and he was prevented by security operatives from joining in.? Presidency had sought to explain away the missed meeting as not being part of the official events lined up for the president.

“The meeting at which Nigeria was reportedly absent was not one of the official events of the United Nations for which President Muhammadu Buhari and his modest delegation are in New York,” Garba Shehu, a presidential spokesman, had said. But not only was it an official event, the focus was on the Lake Chad Basin and the effects of insurgency in which Nigeria’s full participation was expected. The listed UN events had the item: “The Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, OCHA, will hold a side event on food security and humanitarian consequences of conflicts-driven displacement in the Lake Chad Basin region.”
