D4vd on trial. Witnesses to take the stand

The timetable in the criminal case against D4vd has changed following the latest court hearing. David Anthony Burke has pleaded not guilty to all charges relating to the death of Celeste Rivas Hernandez. The preliminary hearing, where prosecutors seek to establish probable cause, has been delayed. The hearing is also expected to include witness scheduling, meaning testimony could form part of the proceedings before any trial begins. The delay pushes back the wider court process while prosecutors and defence lawyers continue preparing their cases.

Kanye sexually assaulted me, says model, but he says it’s art

Jennifer An, a former contestant on America’s Next Top Model, alleges Kanye West, now known as Ye, assaulted her during filming for a La Roux music video in New York in 2010. She is now suing the rapper. An says West took control of the music set before allegedly choking her, smearing make-up across her face and placing his fingers in her mouth to simulate oral sex while cameras rolled. Lawyers for the rapper do not deny the encounter took place but have argued it was part of an "intense and provocative theatrical performance", as West was trying to emulate a scene from the film American Psycho. Jennifer An talks exclusively to Anoushka Mutanda Dougherty about her experience.
