Slowly but surely I am losing respect for this crazy dude…I don’t care about the whole ‘branching out’ theme, it’s not even that anymore, people just want money and greed and this is one proof: After tweeting that he had Justin Beiber’s track ‘Run Away Love’ on repeat, Kanye then carried on speculation on the thought of collabing with Bieber and Raekwon. Why? Seriously…

“Listening to @ Justin Bieber ‘Run Away love,’ “I love Sunday mornings in the crib.” It all started, only for an hour later Kanye tweets again “But I have listened to Runaway Love about 10 times so far,” ironically I got a song called Runaway on my new album too.”

This prompted Bieber to reply going: “It’s not a so what moment for me. I’m 16 and a fan. I’m kinda hyped u are listening to my stuff. Thank u. Nice sunday morning.” Then in that awkward head of his, Kanye proposed an idea of a collab with he, Bieber, and the Wu-Tang emcee.

“I’m honored that you like my Music @JustinBieber!!!” West tweeted. “You gotta hear the album. Maybe we can do something together. Me, You and Raekwon.”

“Yo [Wu-Tang Clan's Ghostface] and Rae were on one of my favorite Jodeci remixes of all time,” West wrote. ‘Ye also suggested that the Staten Island MC should bring his Wu flavor to Bieber’s music. “Maybe me and Rae should hop on Runaway Love! FLEX would drop bombs!”

Justin Bieber spoke and Raekwon re-tweets: “Me, u, and the chef 2gether on a song = EPIC,” Bieber wrote. “Might sound crazy 2 u but even having this convo is living the dream. Thanks.”

They’re all fucking stupid. End of, slowly feeling a little death of music inside me from this…

Meanwhile, a secret ‘black-tie’ performance was held on Saturday where it was all last minute contacting for a few certain people and featured who else but Kanye West making a surprise appearance along with John Legend to perform live for the people in attendance. Mos Def, Mr Hudson, Kid Cudi and Estelle were among the stars in the audience. Midway through the set Estelle jumped on stage for an impromptu performance of American Boy and later tweeted that she’d had an “absolutely magical” night.
