Kanye cancels tour, is hospitalized

Kanye West was hospitalized Monday night in Los Angeles after canceling the remainder of his Saint Pablo tour. "Police responded to a 'medical welfare' call involving the rapper at 1:20 p.m. local time," reports Rolling Stone. "Although no criminal activity had been committed, paramedics at the scene made the decision to hospitalize West was made for 'his own health and safety.'"

The hospitalization came amid increasingly erratic onstage behavior, which had led to the tour's cancellation. On Saturday night in Sacramento, West ended his show after only three songs and a rant about Jay Z, Beyoncé, Drake, and the U.S. election. Earlier last week, West heard boos from his fans after saying that if he'd voted, his vote would have gone to Donald Trump. (BuzzFeed)

They're suing music publisher the Richmond Organization, which claims copyright over the song based on 1960 and 1963 registrations by Pete Seeger and others. On Monday, a district court judge declined to dismiss the suit, meaning it's likely heading to trial. (New York Times)
