Why Kim Kardashian Has ‘No Concerns’ About Kanye West Spending Time With Their Kids Amid Feud

Kanye West, 44, may have been in the headlines recently for taking to Instagram to share his feelings about wanting Kim Kardashian back and disapproving of her new boyfriend Pete Davidson, but it turns out the 41-year-old Keeping Up with the Kardashians star is not worried about the rapper being a co-parent to their four kids. The estranged husband and wife share daughters North, 8, and Chicago, 4, as well as sons Saint, 6, and Psalm, 2, together and the doting mom feels confident that the doting dad “lives for and adores” them, even when there’s disagreements over other issues.

Olivia Rodrigo Becomes Second-Youngest Artist to Score Grammy Nods in ‘Big Four’ Categories

Jem Aswad Senior Music EditorOlivia Rodrigo has capped her breakthrough year with an impressive seven Grammy nominations related to her debut album “Sour,” including Album of the Year, Song of the Year, Record of the Year and Best New Artist.While other artists had more nominations — specifically Jon Batiste, Justin Bieber, Doja Cat and H.E.R. — but Rodrigo is the only one nominated in each of the “Big Four.”Ironically, the last artist to achieve that feat also has seven nods this year: Billie Eilish, who swept the Big Four at the 2020 awards with her “When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?” album and “Bad Guy” single (she and her brother/collaborator Finneas won two others that year as well).

Tidal Launches Direct-to-Artist Payments and User-Centric Royalties, Via $19.99 Hi-Fi Plus Tier

Jem Aswad Senior Music EditorTidal has announced a number of new updates including a new free tier and enhanced paid subscription tiers, direct-to-artist payments, what it describes as “fan-centered royalties.”Most interesting are the latter two categories, which partially address a longstanding complaint about streaming services: In a nutshell, under the current model, streaming services put all streams into one pile and pay artists, songwriters and rights-holders based on their percentage of that total number of streams. If you’re, say, Justin Bieber, BTS, the Weeknd or Adele, that’s a lot.
