Don’t be Tardy for the Wedding: Kirsten Corley and Chance the Rapper Tied the Knot

Published

How you gon’ hate from outside the wedding? You can’t even get in! Kim and Kanye showed up late to Chance the Rapper and Kirsten Corley’s wedding to find it was standing room only. Talk about embarrassing.

With a guest list that included Fred Hammond, Kirk Franklin, and other gospel staples, it’s strange that Kim or Kanye shared their company. We’re not sure if they decided at the last minute to go, or if it was a purposeful gaffe, but the Kardashian-Wests were unfashionably late to the wedding. Arriving after all the guests had been seated, Kim and Kanye strolled down the walkway only to watch the nuptials from the nosebleed section.

Wearing a garishly colorful 1990s Versace gown, Kim appeared annoyed as she stroked her tangled weave while watching Chance and Kirsten exchange vows. Still, their tardiness didn’t keep Kanye from enjoying himself. Kanye sipped champagne, danced, and posed for photos with the newlyweds at the Pelican Hill Resort in California.
Childhood Sweethearts Turned Newlyweds
In a star-studded event, Chance and his bride Kirsten Corley, were wed over the weekend after 16 years of friendship. Before the private ceremony, Chance shared the story of how he met Kirsten when they were just 9 years old.

Back in 2003, Chance’s mother worked as a real estate agent for a black owned franchise called Re/Max. One night, he, along with his father and brother, accompanied his mother to an office party. An announcement was made that there would be a special performance and then, boom, out comes Kirsten and two of her friends. The trio lip-synced to Destiny’s Child’s ‘Independent Women’, while performing a routine and Chance locked eyes with Kirsten.
Encouraged to step forward and dance along by his father, Chance said it just wasn’t the time. Instead he “shook [his] head with anxiety, moved to the back of the crowd” without introducing himself. Fast forward 16 years and one precious child later, Chance and Kirsten were wed in front of 150 family members and close friends.

Social media star Rolling Ray underwent surgery Tuesday morning to treat serious burns on his body after his terrible wig accident last week.
In a series of IG stories, he let his audience follow along as he prepped for surgery.
Last week Rolling Ray announced he was hospitalized after his wig caught on fire! During a January 13 Instagram Live session hosted straight from his hospital bedside, he showed his severely burnt and damaged face telling viewers his “whole skin, legs, arms, feet, and everything” were burned.

In a more recent Live, Ray explained the incident that led to his whole wig catching on fire: an unfortunate smoking accident. “It just, like, lit on fire when I tried to light the cigarette,” he recounted. “So I get to trying to snatch the wig off. B***h, the fire goes to my f*****g shirt, to my feet, to my legs, to my back. It’s a fire everywhere, it’s a fire in the whole room.”

Of course the internet trolled him in a disgusting display of ableism and heartlessness. Comments like “Rolling Ray should have stopped, dropped, and rolled” and “karma’s a b***h” had social media conflicted in its feelings about his accident. His sensation comes from his harsh and, often, below-the-belt reads (just last month he told Yung Miami to “dig (sic) up” her dead baby father. However, the criticism didn’t stop him from responding on Twitter.
I miss y’all 🥺! See y’all soon, if this what Karma feels like she should’ve came harder because I’m alive while others still dead. God loves me 😍! Imma bounce back

Rolling Ray might be problematic as all get-out, but we do not tolerate ableism here. We wish him well as he heals.

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West Are Getting Divorced, Report Says
Published

In a story published Tuesday evening, Page Six is reporting that Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are getting divorced, with the two already in settlement talks. The news comes after the couple spent the holiday season separately – Kanye at his ranch outside Cody, Wyoming, Kim and the kids with her famous family in southern California.
A source close to Kardashian was quoted saying, “Kim got Kanye to go up there so they could live separate lives and quietly get things sorted out to separate and divorce. She’s done.” Kardashian, 40, and West, 43, are said to be splitting because of marital problems directly related to Kanye’s very public mental health struggles.

For several years the rapper’s various antics have caused fans to worry. After coming out as a Trump supporter, West then announced his own 2020 presidential bid under a new political party: the Birthday Party. At a campaign rally in South Carolina, he was seen rambling, debating individual audience members, and at times, crying. In various interviews, he has rambled on almost incoherently, and his tweetstorms are now infamous.
For her part, Kim has always supported her husband and has openly discussed the difficulties of their marriage. Back in June, she shared on social media, “Anyone who has [bipolar disorder] or has a loved one in their life who does, knows how incredibly complicated and painful it is to understand… People who are unaware or far removed from this experience can be judgmental and not understand that the individual (has) to engage in the process of getting help no matter how hard family and friends try.”

It appears she has finally reached her limit in the union with the unnamed source saying, “She is serious about taking the bar exam and becoming a lawyer, she is serious about her prison reform campaign. Meanwhile Kanye is talking about running for president and saying other crazy s**t, and she’s just had enough of it.”
Separately, a source close to Kanye alleges the rapper is sick of his wife and her family, which might have some truth to it since he has tweeted some pretty nasty things about them in the past. “I been trying to get divorced since Kim met with Meek at the Warldolf [sic] for ‘prison reform,’” he said in a now-deleted July tweet. Recently, he hasn’t been featured on his wife’s Instagram and has largely remained out of the public eye.

With the news yet to be confirmed, the “divorce is imminent” reports are just rumors for now. We’ll be following the news as more information comes out.
