People are really putting time and energy into a woman tweeting the NAME OF A REAL SONG and editing the offensive word with stars, as appropriate. I just can’t with people. If you really are offended by the word, get at Jay-Z and Kanye for naming their song with a word that as Q-Tip says holds “years of damage”. Argh! Quick back-story for those not keeping track: actress Gwyneth Paltrow is good friends with Jay-Z. She attended a WTT concert in Paris the other day, and tweeted a photo from the stage with the caption “N**gas in Paris for real”. The stars were her own editing. This tweet sent people up in arms over her use of the “N Word”, and prominent African-American figures like Russell Simmons came to the actress’ defense. Apparently Q-Tip doesn’t agree with this at all, and took to his Twitter to share some words on the situation. See what he had to say below. What do YOU think of all this?! Marisa Mendez

Jay and Kanye had quite the after party in London over the weekend following their Watch The Throne concert. The festivities doubled as a surprise party for Jay’s longtime best friend TyTy (say what up to TyTy, still sippin’ Mai Tais!) and had some major names in the building. Jay’s Roc Nation artists Rita Ora and Rihanna were there, Rita’s boyfriend/Kim Kardashian’s brother Rob, Kim of course with her boo Kanye West, Jay’s good friend Gwyneth Paltrow and more, but unfortunately no Beyonce who was back in the states getting ready for her big concert in Atlantic City this weekend.

Last night Jay-Z and Kanye West kicked off the European leg of their Watch The Throne at London’s O2 arena. The duo will have five shows in the arena. It seems that the set-up of the tour is exactly the same as their American leg except for Hov wearing a new Nets hat. According to reports Kanye & Kim went to dinner with Jay & Bey last night, but no pictures of Queen Bey & Kimmy K together have surfaced. Check out pics from the tour below. Julie1205
