The "Gods of Rap" tour will take place over three days in the United Kingdom.
Hopefully, this tour makes its way to the United States because this would be so cool to witness live. It's been a while since Public Enemy has done shows together after Flavor Flav filed a lawsuit against Chuck D but it appears as though the band is getting back together. Despite them only reuniting for three tour dates, the Gods of Rap tour offers a unique opportunity for old school fans in the United Kingdom to check out some of the most legendary acts in hip-hop history.
As reported by Hip Hop DX, Public Enemy will be reuniting to tour alongside Wu-Tang Clan, De La Soul and DJ Premier. In what will surely be three insane shows, the historic acts look set to take on London, Manchester, and Glasgow in May. The news was announced by Flav and Chuck D's DJ Lord, who wrote, "'Consider Yourselves Warned'????? ????Hip Hop Gods @wearedelasoul @publicenemyftp @wutangclan & @djpremier hit the UK together for the #GodsOfRap tour this May."
Right now, the U.K. dates are the only ones that have been announced. It's unclear if they plan to bring the tour to North America but it would clearly be welcome, if so. Tickets go on sale next week. Are you booking a flight to the U.K?

Future also speaks on why he blasted Wendy Williams.
As we all check out Future's brand new album, the star continues to create headlines through his promotional interviews. When he's not working on new music, we rarely hear the artist speaking about his life in the public. However, his recent media run showed Future reacting to tons of the dramatic situations we've heard about in his life. During an episode of Freebandz Radio on Apple Music, Fewtch was prompted to speak about his ex-girlfriend Ciara and her current partner Russell Wilson. He also touched on all the nonsense that went down with Wendy Williams a few months ago.
Future was asked how he feels about Russell Wilson, to which he explained that he feels he's not really being "a man" in his relationship. "He do exactly what she tell him to do," said the musician. "He not being a man in that position. He not tellin' her, 'Chill out with that on the internet. Don't even talk to him. I'm your husband! You better not even bring Future's name up!' If that was me, she couldn't even bring his name up. She know that. She couldn't even bring her exes' names up."
The rapper went on to criticize Wendy Williams, arguing that when she made his "baby mama chart," she included women that have tried to distance themselves from being labelled as "just a baby mama." "Man, the Wendy Williams situation," he said. "The only thing I was mad about her, putting my kid's mothers up that don't want to be in the limelight.
They're not entertainers. Only time people know them is from me. If you see them responding, it's because they want to respond. You can put her up. You can put them up. But don't put the ones who ain't responding. It's two girls you're putting on that list that don't even never do social media."

John Legend doesn't speak for Kanye West—and he doesn't pretend to, either.
But considering their close friendship, a Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen viewer called into the show Thursday night to ask he how he feels about the rapper's polarizing tweets.
"Yeah, well, you know...When I see some of it, I just shake my head," John admitted. "A lot of people that love Kanye, that love his music, they're like, 'I don't agree with a lot of the things he says.' And, you know, he loves it. He says what he's gonna say, and it's on him. It's weird, because I get asked about it all the time...I can't be accountable for what he's gonna say. Truly!"
Considering how outspoken she is on Twitter, Legend's wife, Chrissy Teigen joked, "The roles are probably reversed in this!" That being said, she also understands the position West's wife, Kim Kardashian, finds herself in whenever he goes on a Twitter spree. "All you want to do is protect the person you love and be able to defend them at all costs. It really is tough, because we all have our separate identities. We believe different things," Teigen said. "As much as you love somebody, they're going to eff up sometimes and they're going to say weird things."
Kardashian herself spoke about West's tweets when she appeared on Monday's after-show.
"He goes through phases," she said. "You know, he made a good point the other day. He was like, 'Look, some people express themselves—whether it's about a person, like, in diss records'—and he's like, 'I've never done that. Some people see a therapist. Some people [do] this. To me, Twitter is my therapy, and it's legal. So, I'm not doing anything to hurt anyone. I'm not being irrational and doing something physical because I'm upset or frustrated...' He's like, 'People can end up in jail for the things that I'm thinking, but instead I just tweet it all. It might be 150 tweets, but that's how I get it out, and then I feel better, and then I'm over it for a while.'"

Despite allegations of sexual abuse, R. Kelly's die-hards are standing by his side.
It seems as if we're witnessing the demise in R. Kelly's career, but it looks like it's going to take more than a docuseries to knock him off the charts. According to Billboard, two of the singer's biggest hits to date have made returned to the charts following the airing of Lifetime's docuseries.
"Ignition" and "I Believe I Can Fly" are back on Billboard's R&B Digital Song Sales chart after Lifetime's six-part docuseries Surviving R. Kelly aired at the beginning of the month. "Ignition" is currently sitting at #12 on the R&B Digital Song Sales chart with a spike of 191% in week-over-week purchases. According to Nielsen Music, the singer sold 2000 downloads in the week ending on Jan 10th. It's the best the song has performed in nearly 2 years since moving 2000 units in the week ending on Jan. 12, 2017. "Ignition" also brought in 3.1M U.S. on-demand streams in the week ending on Jan. 10th.
"I Believe I Can Fly" debuted at no. 16 on the R&B Digital Song Sales with 2000 copies sold as well which is the highest it's charted since Feb. 25th, 2016. The increase in streams for both songs helped The Essential R. Kelly project re-enter the Top R&B albums chart at no. 19. Additionally, it also debuted on the Billboard 200 at no. 144 and at no. 46 on the Top Catalog Albums.
Earlier today, it was revealed that Sony had dropped R. Kelly from their label following the numerous protests and allegations stemming from Surviving R. Kelly.
