Kanye West has overshared with us on Twitter videos of him receiving pain shots in his thumb. The pain is from “too much texting.” It required cortisone and lidocaine. We are now in outer space. Do you feel the lack of gravity? Our future 46th president (lol) has gone beyond David Blaine, and soared into the clouds. What I want to know is, did Kanye tell Kim K she had to stop the reality show? Notice the announcement came from Kim and not Kris Jenner or Ryan Seacrest. Hmmmmm….
