LOS ANGELES, California ( The Adobo Chronicles) – He did it twice. First at the MTV Music Awards, then at the Grammys Rapper Kanye West took to the stage, unscripted, to grab the limelight from Taylor Swift and Beck, respectively.

The rest is history. West has been banned from attending all televised awards shows  including the Grammys, MTV Music Awards, and even the Oscars, and has been out of a job since.

The Adobo Chronicles caught up with the husband of reality show star Kim Kardashian at the latter’s home, baking some cookies for the night’s dessert.

“This is my new role, a stay-at-home husband since I have not had any performance or recording contracts for months now,” West said. The rap artist was remorseful and apologetic for his shenaningans at the awards shows and says he hates the idea of Kim being the sole breadwinner in their household.

MADONNA SET TO RETIRE ON HER 57TH BIRTHDAY?

NEW YORK, New York (The Adobo Chronicles) – There is only one Madonna and she is retiring on August 16 this year, when she reaches the age of 57.

The diva hinted on her retirement shortly after she launched her latest album, Rebel Heart, which has taken an early lead in the race for this week’s Number 1 album.

If its momentum continues, Rebel Heart will be Madonna’s 12 UK Number 1 album following Like A Virgin (1984), True Blue (1986), Like A Prayer (1989), The Immaculate Collection (1990), Ray Of Light (1998), Music (2000), American Life (2003), Confessions On A Dance Floor (2005), Hard Candy (2008), Celebration (2009) and MDNA (2012).

“I want to retire in grace while I’m on top of the music world,” Madonna said. “I’m not sure that I will have the same staying power as Cher (who is 68).”

“I may no longer be able to successfully pull acrobatic stunts during my concerts and performances,” she said, obviously referring to the last BRIT Awards in which she took a serious spill while performing on-stage.

Many had questioned whether the singer could remain relevant at a time when the music industry is packed with younger female artists like Katy Perry, 30;  Lady Gaga, 28; Taylor Swift, 25; Ariana Grande, 20; Dionne Bromfield, 17; and  Lorde, 16.

As to who she thinks will be the “new” Madonna,” she said, “I already publicly anointed my successor — Kanye West.  As I’ve said, he is the new Madonna — the black Madonna.”

As a music legend retires, will we see the rise of a new one in Kanye West?

KANYE WEST ACCUSES MADONNA OF RACISM AND SEXISM

Leave a comment

imageNEW YORK, New York (The Adobo Chronicles) – “Kanye is the new Madonna,” the diva told the  New York Daily News today while promoting her new album Rebel Heart. “Kanye is the black Madonna.”

She continued, “We know, and recognize, that we have that in common. We’re comrades in the envelope-pushing genre.

But Kanye West didn’t appreciate Madonna’s comment, accusing her of racism and sexism.

“First of all, I have nothing in common with her,” West said.  “Secondly, for Madonna to call me ‘black’ is racist. What would she feel if I called her the white Madonna?” West added: “I’m a man. For me to be likened to a woman is very offensive.  It’s sexist.”

Kim Kardashian joined her husband in criticizing Madonna for her comments. “I think she has lost her star power and is trying to ride on the coattails of my husband to get back in the limelight,” she said.
