My grandmother always wanted me to perform live

Sarkodie’s fourth studio album Mary is scheduled for release on September 12, 2015.

In an interview with MTV Iggy, he disclosed his grandmother’s ‘demand’ for him to perform live is the inspiration behind the content on the album named after his granny.

“She always wanted me to do live music. She liked hip-hop, but she was more into live music, the live drums, live guitars, not too much that’s computerized. I should have done it for her and now she’s gone,”

The Mary album was produced by songwriter/musician Akwaboah, who is the first artiste to be signed to Sarkodie’s Sarkcess Music label.

"Mewu", the first single off the upcoming album was released about a month ago.

Sarkodie adds that there is a lot of highlife influence on the album.

“I took it back to my people, the sounds that we grew up on, and the sounds that I loved growing up. I’m trying to take the indigenous Ghanaian music to the world,” he equivocates. Ultimately, he says he wants to avoid being predictable. This is as vital to rap in Ghana as it is anywhere.”

Taylor Swift, squad take home VMA ‘Video of the Year’ award

After all that drama, Taylor Swift and seven of her closest famous friends took home the award for Video of the Year at the 2015 VMAs.

The star-studded "Bad Blood" video took home the fan-voted prize, and approximately a third of the clip's stars joined Swift on stage to accept the award. Her cats, Meredith Grey and Olivia Benson, also got shoutouts, to which Mariska Hargitay gave a thumbs up.

T.Swift addressed that the video caused its share of controversy while she held her shiny new Moon Man — but opted to focus her speech on how important it is to dismantle antiquated gender roles instead.

"There's been a lot of discussion about this video and what it means, but I'm just glad we live in a world where boys can be princesses and girls can be soldiers," Swift said.

Amber Rose, KimYe And Miley Cyrus Get “Risky” With Their VMA Fashion

Did You Hate These 2015 MTV Video Music Awards Outfits?

Last we checked our Twitter timelines, KimYe were being dragged for their earthy maternal Yeezy Boost sponsored getups… But we didn’t think it was that bad — is it?

 Miley’s “Look At Me, I’m Not Wearing Any Clothes… Again” also didn’t seem to resonate well with folks

And Amber Rose and Blac Chyna’s attempt to call attention to slut-shaming/feminism (?) didn’t seem to win many points either.

But what did you think about these outfits? Did you hate them or love them? 

Chris Brown being sued by fan who claims it was singer’s fault he suffered gunshot wound

It seems like Chris Brown is never too far removed from some kind of controversy.

The Love More singer is being sued by a fan who claims it was Chris’ fault he was shot at during a concert back in January, according to TMZ.

Paul Briley was at the singer’s show in San Jose earlier this year when shots rang out shortly after midnight.

In a lawsuit filed against the star, Paul alleges the father-of-one failed to provide enough security at the concert.

He says he sustained permanent injuries and claims Chris had experienced other instances of violences at concerts before the show he attended, therefore he should have beefed up security.

According to TMZ, five people were wounded during the incident with four being rushed to hospital.

A spokesperson for Chris told Mirror Celebs: "It is a poor reflection of our society that violence is so prevalent and it is always a tragedy when someone is physically harmed.

"However this is a completely frivolous lawsuit. We expect that the case will be dismissed and in future, to avoid these reoccurring meritless lawsuits directed at Chris Brown, we plan to seek damages from all parties and their lawyers."

KANYE FOR PRESIDENT: The Democrats SUPPORTS Kanye West's bid to become president in 2020

Kanye West announced he's running for President in 2020 at the MTV VMAs and he's already got approval from the Democrat party.

The rapper revealed his political intentions in a 12 minute speech at the award show as he picked up the Vanguard Video award.

We're not sure how serious Kanye was about his presidential aspirations - he admitted to smoking a joint before coming out on stage - but he's already secured some major political backing from the Democrats who sent their support to the Yeezus rapper on Twitter.

They wrote: "Last night @kanyewest declared his candidacy for president in 2020. Welcome to the race, Mr. West. Glad to have you."
Kanye made the surprising announcement last night where he spoke at length - because he's Kanye - about his art, being high and becoming president.

He finished the speech with: "I have decided to run for President".
