American Idol Offering Kanye West $18 Million To Be A Judge (News)


TMZ is reporting that Fox has expressed interest in having Kanye West as a judge on American Idol.
That would be crazy to see Yeezy  as a judge, we all know he wouldn’t be afraid to keep it real.

Kanye West is negotiating with producers to become an “American Idol” judge … TMZ has learned.

Sources close to the production tell TMZ, “Idol” honchos reached out to Kanye recently about filling one of the open judging spots … and Kanye expressed interest.

But that doesn’t mean he’s on board — we’re told Yeezy is still unsure about accepting the gig. The way it was put to us … “He’s on the fence,” because he’s not sure if “A.I.” is in his wheelhouse.

And there’s another big hang up — cash. Informed sources tell TMZ … “Idol” would “at least match Mariah’s salary” — a cool $18 mil a year.

G.O.O.D. Music Covers Complex’s 2012 August/September Issue

Complex did an amazing job with this video (view after the jump). Can’t wait for the issue to drop! While the article, written by Complex‘s editor-in-chief Noah Callahan-Bever, features all the G.O.O.D. Music members, here’s a snippet of a question asked to unofficial member 2 Chainz.

Can you tell me what the nature of your relationship with G.O.O.D. is?

2 Chainz: I’m not officially signed, paperwork-wise, to G.O.O.D. Music. But I have a great rapport with ’Ye. He called me before Watch the Throne came out. I’m an only child. I’ve got trust issues. So I don’t have a best friend, a brother, sister—nothing. Stuff was happening in my life that I couldn’t tell nobody. I didn’t have anybody in my life that I could tell, like, “’Ye just called me.”

I’ve talked to ’Ye 1,000 times about trying to make this situation work for the both of us, so it won’t feel like anyone is getting used or anything. I’m in a position in life where I like talking about things like that. I came from a situation with DTP, being under Luda, where I got a phobia. Sometimes when an artist signs another artist, they’re so worried about themselves. And with ’Ye, he helps everybody.
