KANYE WEST'S SON SAINT NICKNAMES HIMSELF 'MINI KOBE' AHEAD OF LATEST BASKETBALL WIN

Kanye West‘s son, Saint West, has inherited his father’s confidence, dubbing himself a “mini Kobe Bryant” right before he won on the basketball court.

Saint’s mother, Kim Kardashian, posted her son’s game-winning basket on Saturday (April 13) to her Instagram stories.

Following the just-under-the-buzzer score, Kardashian posted a photo of the little one’s sneakers, upon which he inscribed “mini Kobe” on the sole, a reference to the late Los Angeles Lakers player.

Check it out below.

 

Saint West — who is one of the four children Ye shares with his now ex-wife — has always seemed to have an affinity for sports.

Back in March 2023, Ye’s then 7-year-old son was caught on camera as he and his mom Kim Kardashian posed for photos while attending Paris Saint-Germain’s soccer game against Rennes at the Parc des Princes stadium in Paris, France.

In the video, Saint is seen smiling widely for the camera before noticing that he was also being filmed, at which point his smile turns into a deep grimace, which has been a go-to facial expression of Kanye’s for years.

The moment was soundtracked by Ye’s “No More Parties In LA,” specifically the prescient lyrics: “I be worried about my daughter, I be worried about Kim/ But Saint is baby Ye, I ain’t worried about him.”

Saint has remained an avid soccer fan for years, with Kanye and Kim regularly attending his games over the years. Last October, however, last October the Yeezy mogul was seen getting into a heated argument with another parent at one of Saint’s games before storming off the field.

In the footage obtained by TMZ, Ye can be seen engaged in a conversation with someone before a parent says something to him. The rapper appears to say something back as he starts walking off toward another section of the park.

The incident occurred mere weeks after Ye attended his daughter North’s basketball game wearing a “White Lives Matter” T-shirt, which stirred outrage among the parents.

Saint West also inherited his father’s antipathy for the paparazzi, as he demonstrated with his now-infamous one-finger salute back in September 2023.

Saint and his mother were followed by media photographers as they were heading into an Island Burgers outlet after the kid’s basketball game. As the pair was approached, the boy smilingly showed the cameras his middle finger.

Kardashian was visibly displeased with this gesture as she was seen covering her child’s face with her hand as a way of scolding him. Whereas she has spent years in the spotlight, negotiating with the paparazzi, her children are only now learning how to navigate their way past it.

42 DUGG ANNOUNCES NEW ALBUM ‘4EVA US NEVA THEM,’ DROPS FIRST SINGLE

42 Dugg has released a new single called “Win Wit Us,” which will be on his forthcoming new album called 4eva Us Neva Them.

The “We Paid” rapper took to his Instagram on Friday (May 17) to reveal that the album will be dropping on June 7.

“Don’t worry I’ll Turn this bitch back UP,” he wrote in the caption. “4eva Us Neva them my first album JUNE mufucking 7th‼️‼️‼️‼️ Here’s ah lil something to set the tone though #winwitus OUT NOW.”

Check out the post, and the first single, below.

 

 

Last month, 42 Dugg made headlines when a photo of him playing basketball with his daughter went viral for all the wrong reasons.

The photo was part of a carousel post Dugg made on April 24, which also included shots of the rapper riding on a four-wheeler with his son.

When the photos were reposted by 2Cool2Bl0g, people couldn’t help but notice the artist’s height similarity to his daughter, and proceeded to make jokes in the comments.

“Man I thought this was 2 kids,” one person wrote. Another person said: “He the same size as the kids.”

Additional comments included, “Which one is #42dugg?” “the damn car taller then him” and, “There’s no way he driving the Cullinan without a booster seat ayoooo.”

42 Dugg was released from prison in late 2023 after a year and a half, and recently opened about the struggles of his life behind bars.

During an appearance on the Million Dollaz Worth Of Game podcast last November, the Detroit rapper reflected on his time in lockup and the hardships of his grueling job inside.

“Bruh, they had me in there working in the kitchen,” he revealed as co-hosts Gillie and Wallo had a laugh. “They was being funny like … man, waking me up at four in the morning, bruh, like I’m talkin’ ’bout killing me, bruh.”

He went on to explain that he immediately started to think of excuses to get out of work, saying that he couldn’t work on his feet because he got shot. As a result, he was made to wrap 1,000 forks instead, which Gillie Da Kid joked made Dugg the “prison waiter.”
