NBA player and Iggy Azalea's fiancée Nick Young is in hot water today after a video has leaked of him professing his love for a nineteen year old woman. The problem? Iggy is 25 years old. The video has made waves throughout the NBA fanbase today, after being filmed by Young's teammate D'Angelo Russell. It features Young, who doesn't seem to know that he's on camera, discussing his romantic involvement with a nineteen year old. It's currently unknown how the video was leaked, but Bleacher Report is suggesting that it spread through Twitter like wildfire after Russell shared it accidentally on Snapchat. Allegedly, the scandal has lead to a major feud in the locker room, with Russell's teammates isolating the player. Teammates are refusing to speak to him, and at a recent team meeting, no one would sit at Russell's table. Since the video's leak, Russell has publicly apologised to Young, saying in a pre-game interview, "I'm as sick as possible. I wish I could make things better right away but I can't". On the other hand, Young seems open to a reunion, stating "Me and D'Angelo handled the situation we have in a private matter. I think it's something we really do need to sit down and talk about." For her part, Iggy has publicly taken to Twitter to (perhaps sarcastically) thank the player for posting his video. Maybe it's just our cynical side, but the timing of this video release seems less than coincidental. Iggy appears to be on an apology tour after her negative publicity last year, taking to the airwaves last week to admit to her suicidal thoughts following the copious amounts of hate comments posted online, and there's nothing more redemptive than a scorned girlfriend. As so often happens on the Internet, public perception of Iggy has seemingly changed overnight since the video's leak, with the sympathetic comments flooding in a far cry from the hate she was receiving just a few weeks ago when 'Team' was released. What do you think of the video? Is the evidence damning enough for Iggy to call it quits, or should she try and hear Nick out? Let us know in the comments down below!

After weeks of speculation, Tidal has finally shared the official streaming numbers for Kanye West's latest controversial effort, The Life of Pablo. So far, the album has yet to be released physically, or to most major digital outlets - although lead single 'Famous' is now streaming on Spotify and Apple Music, and Kanye has tentatively confirmed an updated version of the album due out on Friday. As such, streaming details are of utmost importance to the release, which has been attacked online due to it's unique Tidal-exclusive release strategy. While we have few other stream-exclusive albums to compare it to, it seems as though the collection has done well, with the album being streamed over 250 million times in it's first ten days of release, not accounting for illegal streams or downloads. What's unclear is whether or not these numbers are based on individual songs, or if they are only added to when the album as a whole is streamed in full. Tidal has also confirmed that subscriptions to the music streaming service have doubled since the project's release. However, it's likely that most of these subscriptions would be attributed to the free trial that was offered to first-time subscribers following the album release, and that they do not necessarily reflect a long-term uptake in the service. Tidal is currently celebrating it's first anniversary since it's launch in March 2015, during which time it has apparently amassed a total of over three million global subscribers. Allegedly, approximately 1.35 of these users have opted for the service's top tier, which costs $19.99 a month as opposed to the regular option of $9.99 a month. Despite this, the service is still trailing behind other options - Spotify recently announced that the service hit 30 million subscribers last week. What do you think about the news? Do The Life of Pablo's numbers suggest a hit or a flop? Will you be subscribing to Tidal? Let us know in the comments section below!
