While accepting his Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award at the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards, Kanye said he will run for President in 2020. Well that would mean if he wins… Kim would be the First Lady… Can you say World Peace…
Chad Hurley YouTube co-founder will have lighter pockets… Kim & Kanye have reportedly settled their lawsuit against Hurley whom they sued in 2013 after he secretly took video of (and eventually leaked) their proposal in San Francisco’s AT&T Park.
Hurley actually snuck into the park, took video of the proposal… and being the business man that he is… shared it via his start-up Mixbit.
Chinx “Welcome To JFK” comes in at #2… RIP Chinx

The special showcases Rel’s captivating storytelling style and his uncanny ability to transport audiences into his hilarious world of loveable, outrageous characters. Filmed at The Vic Theatre in Chicago, the special includes stories from Rel’s time in Chicago getting roasted by high school students, the ridiculousness of hoodrat conversations, the time he got an unexpected whooping from a Chicago cab driver, how his son, Judah, has gotten him into trouble by not having a filter yet and how grateful he is that he’ll have a daughter to take care of him when he gets old.
Leading up to the on-air premiere, Comedy Central Stand-Up will feature preview clips from the special. Fans can follow Lil Rel on Twitter at @LilRel4 and tweet using the hashtag #RELevant.
