Previously known as “Monster Lake Ranch,” West formally renamed the property that is just 52 miles from Yellowstone National Park, West Lake Ranch, although he often refers to it as “Yeezy campus,” the reports note.
His Cody property has a music studio above the “eating cabin.” There are also several vehicles on the property, including Ford F-150 Raptor pickup trucks, ATVs, UTVs, and a tank painted in matte black.

US-based SA media personality, Bonang Matheba has announced the end of her working relationship with the management group that used to handle her brand, citing a “possibility of criminal conduct by the company and its representatives”. At exactly one o’clock on Tuesday, she opened a space on Twitter and within five minutes there were over 10k listeners to which she made the big announcement. Bonang shared that she had officially terminated the contract with the company and wished to make it clear that they do not represent her or her business ventures.
The media personality said she has instructed her lawyers to investigate the possibility of criminal conduct by the company and its representatives and will update people in a few days on what she considered “unsavory behavior.” Before relocating to New York earlier this year, Bonang was part of the celebrities and big brands managed by CSA Global. As Bonang neglected to name the management group in question, it remains unclear whether she’s talking about CSA Global.

Chad have been readmitted to international football after FIFA ended a suspension, originally handed out for governmental interference in football, that had lasted six months. Football’s world governing body banned Chad after the country’s minister of youth and sports dissolved the FA (FTFA) in March. “The Bureau of the FIFA Council has decided to lift the suspension of the FTFA with immediate effect,” FIFA said in a statement on Tuesday.
The following reasons were given for the end of the ban: Chadian government authorities have reinstated the powers delegated to the FTFA, Chadian government authorities have repealed their decision to establish a national committee for the temporary management of football, FTFA premises are once again under the control of President Moctar Mahamoud. After the government dissolved the FTFA, African football’s body CAF disqualified Chad from the final two rounds of qualifying for January’s Africa Cup of Nations.
