J-Kwon Located
Co-CEO of Gracie Entertainment, Dorian Washington, issued another statement from the label on Thursday to announce that J-Kwon had been located. The prior day, Gracie had issued a statement that the rapper had been missing for nearly a month. Dorian says:
I am very happy to let everyone know that I personally spoke with J-Kwon today, and he is okay. He’d like to send a sincere apology to his friends and everyone who showed concern this week. He was taking some time to himself as he sometimes does, not realizing that people would start to worry after a while.
A few days out of touch versus a month is quite a difference. Right now he just wants to keep doing what he’s doing, and will be more available for those who care about him. We thank you again for your outreach, and we are relieved to know he’ll be alright.

If anyone has seen J-Kwon or has access to him, please let him know we are worried about him, and to please let us know everything is ok.

‘I Am The West’ is the name of my new record. After completing about 65 percent of my music, this is the new perfect title. This sh** is cocky, no apologies, West Coast gangsta sh**. I can’t help it. That’s what I do… June seems too tight for a release, but July is very doable. We’ll see how things go. Now that I have my title, I can work on the concept of my photoshoot and artwork.

Kanye West Has No Problem With Business Class – Or Even Coach
Kanye West is responding to a report in the New York Post claiming he threw a fit at LAX on Monday on his way back to New York from the Grammys, after the rapper and his assistant were seated in business class instead of first.
West wrote on his official web site blog at kanyeuniversecity.com:
I feel bad that people believe this kind of stuff or any random rumor that is taken as fact because ‘it’s on the internet.’ This rumor is particularly ironic because I was actually happy with a business class seat and was offered a seat in first class. A friend of mine was sitting in coach so asked if they could bump him up to business instead of putting me in first. There was absolutely no altercation in any way. There’s been many a time where I’ve given someone in coach my business or first class seat in order to sit next to a friend I bumped into. I really could care less about where I sit on the plane. It’s hard to deal with the rumors sometimes. As a good person with a warm heart, it does bother me. I’m not bigger than feeling pain, embarrassment, stress and worry. Have you ever been lied on??? How does it make you feel??? You wanna tell everybody it’s not true right? Thank you to all my fans who still love and support me even though it’s not the trend right now! I’m sleeping in the studio and I won’t let you guys down!
