Kanye West Urges Fans To Put Down Cell Phones, Shares 4-Hour Long Documentary

Kanye West performs onstage during the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards at NOKIA Theatre L.A. LIVE on September 12, 2010 in Los Angeles, California
Kanye uses his platform to spread some knowledge.

In the last month, Kanye West has acted questionably on his Twitter account, acting out in support of Donald Trump and going on long-winded tirades about literally anything. As he has now quieted down to focus on his work on several upcoming albums, Ye took a break from the studio to preach about cell phone usage and our dependence on technology. The "Blood on the Leaves" singer has a point but his method of sharing the statement is, once again, a little confusing.

The rapper took to Twitter to take on the idea of consumerism, sharing a four-hour long documentary named The Century of the Self, which focuses on Sigmund Freud's nephew, Edward Bernays, capitalizing on his uncle's philosophies to "create modern-day consumerism." According to Ye, Bernays once masterminded a plan for companies to sell more cigarettes during a time when they were not used in public. On top of his notes on a consumerist culture, West urged his fans to consider our collective addiction to our cell phones, tweeting, "Google dopamine," referring to a chemical naturally released by our brains that makes us feel good when a notification pops up on our phones.

If Kanye has time to watch an entire 4-hour documentary, hopefully, it signals that all five albums are finished. With the rollout beginning with Pusha T's project this Friday, Ye doesn't have much more time to work so if he's not yet finished, he better get to work!

  The Synagogue Church of all Nations (SCOAN) has countered the BBC documentary on the late Temitope Babatunde Joshua, known as TB Joshua, founder of SCOAN. SCOAN described the documentary against TB Joshua as unfounded, and that the characters interviewed in the report were unknown to the church. The church, in a statement signed by its Public Affairs Director, Mr Dare Adejumo, said the statement was aimed at disabusing public minds from the report. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that the BBC released a highly controversial and damning documentary on the late TB Joshua on Monday, accusing him of various crimes, including rape, against some members. SCOAN said, “BBC World Services investigative unit, code-named Africa Eye, came out this week with weird and strange episodes of atrocities against the late founder of SCOAN.” It said that to investigate and publish or broadcast reports was a central kernel of journalism, but to do so outside the ethics and fundamental principles

  The NBA has suspended former San Antonio Spurs guard  Joshua Primo   for four games   ... after it says it found he exposed his private parts to multiple women. The league announced the ban on Friday morning ... saying an investigation into the free agent revealed he had "engaged in inappropriate and offensive behavior." NBA officials called his actions "conduct detrimental to the league." They did, however, note that they "did not find evidence that he engaged in any sexual or other misconduct apart from these brief exposures." "Primo maintains that his conduct was not intentional," the league said. Dr. Hillary Cauthen , Primo's former therapist, was the first to  bring the allegations  against Primo to light after she claimed last fall that he exposed himself to her on nine separate occasions. Dr. Cauthen's attorney,  Tony Buzbee , alleged the Spurs were aware of Primo's actions, but didn't take action. Cauthen went on to file
