After it was revealed by Forbes magazine that Kanye West's Yeezy brand has officially made him a billionaire, Lil Nas X teased that he was also among this elite group of excessively wealthy folks by welcoming Ye "to the club." It's not everyday that somebody becomes a billionaire, so when someone as high profile as Kanye West hits that milestone, you're sure to hear about it. On Friday, Forbes broke the news that Kanye is now, in fact, a billionaire, due largely to the success of his Yeezy sales.

Fellow music artist Lil Nas X caught wind of this major news, and decided to congratulate Kanye over social media with a little comedy bit. He took to Twitter to officially welcome Kanye "to the club," seemingly implying that he, at 21-years-old with a virtually newborn music career, was also a billionaire.
"Just heard kanye west is a billionaire," he tweeted. "Welcome to the club bro!" Obviously, he was kidding, as a quick Google search will reveal that Lil Nas is only worth approximately $4 million. His followers totally caught on to the joke, though, and one even replied with a link to one of his tweets from last summer in which he had teased his fans that he now had billions of dollars in his bank account compared to the mere pennies he had 7 months prior.
"You are way ahead of him," the fan wrote. "U ain’t have to pull out the facts like this," Lil Nas X replied. "We all start somewhere give him some time." While Lil Nas was able to have fun with the topic, Kanye was less than impressed with Forbes' profile. The publication reported that Kanye boasts a total net worth of $1.3 billion, but the multi-hyphenate mogul claimed that none of the financial experts over at Forbes knows how to count, insisting that he's worth over $3 billion. While we may never know for sure how much of a billionaire Mr. West is, at least he was still able to receive a warm welcome from a totally legit fellow billionaire.
PnB Rock & Girlfriend Welcome Baby Girl
PnB Rock and his girlfriend, Stephanie Sibounheuang, welcomed their baby girl, Xuri Li, into the world last Friday.
PnB Rock and his girlfriend, Stephanie Sibounheuang, welcomed their baby girl, Xuri Li, into the world last Friday (March 27th), and the newborn is too cute for words. PnB shared the news on Twitter earlier this week, announcing the child's full name and birthday, already gushing over his little bundle of joy.
"IM SO IN LOVE WITH Xuri Li Sibounheuang," he exclaimed, followed by a separate tweet reading: "Xuri Was born into the 27th internet ain’t ready for her yet i swear lol." According to his first tweet, the couple decided to give Xuri her mom's last name, an unconventional but commendable choice. PnB and Stephanie have been dating for well over a year now. She announced her pregnancy back in December a vlog on her Youtube channel, where she documented her journey with the baby's father thus far.
PnB shared a video of his newborn on Instagram a few days after she was born, which he excitedly captioned, "“BABY XURIIIIIIII." In the comments, he went on to brag that his daughter had inherited one of his features, writing, "“SHE GOT MY NECK."
In the clip, baby Xuri tries to get her daddy to breast feed her, not realizing that he's the wrong parent for the job. Stephanie also gave the world a little peek at their baby girl. The new mama posted a photo of herself holding a sleeping Xuri, presumably after she had just finished nursing her. In the caption, she wrote, "That first time you get to hold your baby, you’ve waited so long to meet. Xuri Li Sibounheuang."
Congrats to this new family!
J-Boog Announces Arrival Of His Newborn Child
J-Boog has apparently been expecting his fourth child for awhile now, as the B2K member shared a photo on Instagram of his newborn baby.
J-Boog became a daddy of four after welcoming his newborn baby, much to the surprise of most of the world. The B2K member did not publically disclose that he was expecting a child, so when he shared a photo of his little bundle of joy on Instagram on Saturday, his fans and followers were blindsided. In the caption of the photo, which only shows the newborn’s tiny hand, Boog wrote, “#Houknew ….”
Boog did not give any further details, and failed to mention the baby’s gender or the mother’s identity. However, plenty of avid fans in the comments pointed out that Boog’s new baby mama is likely his girlfriend, Shelbie Gray, who has shared tons of photos of herself and the Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood star on her Instagram story highlights. According to one user, the two of them went to Disneyland last week, but Shelbie was not seen riding any of the rides. Shelbie has currently privatized her Instagram account, meaning she might be looking to get some privacy after possibly giving birth.
