Smile, It's OK - Yesterday during another run in with the paparazzi, Kanye did something that he isn't know for when it comes to them. He smiled. Yes, that's right, Kanye West smiled for the cameras. Oh and Nine Inch Nails' Trent Reznor has called Kanye the most dangerous performer of 2013 because of the boundaries that he pushes. Not too shabby, Yeezy. (Photo: Taylor Hill/WireImage)

Wale said that J. Hud's career overshadows David and that he wrestles on public access TV. David hasn't responded and we wouldn't either because the D.C. emcee isn't having it at all.
