Kanye West appears to Rveal illegal file sharing in Twitter photo

Maybe he really is broke.

The “most important living artist” seemed to show he might participate in file sharing when he tweeted a screenshot of his Internet activity Tuesday night.

The photo was simply captioned “Day 3” and highlighted the “Gold Digger” rapper listening to “Death with Dignity” by indie folk artist Sufjan Stevens on YouTube.

But, the Internet doesn’t miss a thing and was quick to point out the rapper’s downloading activity.

Twitter Shares Drop on Slowing user Growth

Twitter shares  fell in after-hours trading as the company's quarterly results showed user growth faltering. 

Twitter reported a net loss of $90m (£62m) for the last three months of 2015 versus a loss of $125m a year ago.

The social media site saw its user growth stall, with 320 million average monthly active users - the same number as the previous quarter.

Twitter puts video ads at top of users' timeline feeds

Twitter has told marketers they can now place video ads near the top of people's timeline feeds.

It says the First View feature will give their clips "premium placement" on users' devices. It is initially being rolled out to the US ahead of a global launch.

The announcement comes on the eve of the company's latest financial results.

One expert said the move might help boost Twitter's profits in the short-term but was likely to backfire.

"The reason why Facebook has been so successful of late is that it has been able to put sponsored posts and videos into people's feeds," commented Richard Holway, chairman of the TechMarketView consultancy.

Amber Rose responds with crude tweet, after Kanye west deletes tweets, and blasts Wiz Khalifa in epic Twitter rant after renaming album ‘Waves,’

Kanye West made “waves” Wednesday with an epic new Twitter rant.

The arrogant and outspoken West — who had just changed the title of his new album from “Swish” to “Waves” — blasted fellow rapper Wiz Khalifa on Twitter for suggesting he had no claim to the concept of “waves.”

 

“Bro first of all you stole your whole s--- from (Kid) Cudi,” West began his 27-tweet tirade.

“Second, your first single was corny as f--- and most there after.”

“3rd no one I know has ever listened to one of your albums all the way through.”

“4th you let a stripper trap you,” West wrote, presumably referring to the Pittsburgh rapper’s relationship with stripper-turned-model Amber Rose, whom West also dated from 2008 to 2010.

Porn star Lisa Ann attacks Kanye West and says he sent her naked pictures

Kanye West’s Twitter rant on Tuesday rubbed porn star Lisa Ann the wrong way — so she joined forces with the rapper’s ex Amber Rose.
