Tuesday Tales

Rapper Kanye West says he was defending himself during his recent scuffle with a photographer at LAX in Los Angeles, although video footage clearly shows otherwise. West's most recent album hasn't sold well and he has made some public appearances in support of the project. We'll have to wait and see what's next for him. Rapper Trina suffered a health scare recently. The former first lady of Slip-N-Slide Records passed out in a Florida airport. She was taken to a hospital and treated for dehydration and overexertion. She Instagrammed a photo of herself in a hospital bed with a caption thanking fans for their concern and prayers. Along with music, she's appeared on Tameka "Tiny" Cottle's VH1 talk show along with Claudia Jordon and former "Basketball Wives" star Tami Roman. There's no word on whether the heavy workload played a role in her illness. Rapper J. Cole announced that he will produce songs on R&B group TLC's next album. The North Carolina native brought out members Tionne "T-Boz" Watkins and Rozonda "Chilli" Thomas to perform "Crooked Smile" for the first time live during the iHeart Radio Music Festival on Friday. The duo appear on his new album "Born Sinner" and he was happy to return the favor. There's no word on when the album will be released. In the meantime, the 28-year-old is keeping busy by promoting "Born Sinner" and recently launched his What Dreams May Come Tour, inspired by the Robin Williams film about a man's  journey through the afterlife. He begins he European leg of his tour on Nov. 24 in Paris. Rapper Drake will reportedly work on singer Charlie Wilson's next album. No word on when the album will be released.
