//Mixed Bits: Kanye West’s ‘Amazing’ NBA Promo; Rihanna To Return To The Stage; Beyonce Giving Away Tickets To London Concert//

Kanye West’s match-up with the NBA is amazing.

The rapper is lending his song “Amazing” from his platinum smash album 808s and Heartbreak to the National Basketball Associate to be used in a music video highlighing memorable moments of past playoff games to hype the 2009 series.

The video features clips of great moments from basketball figures like Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Dwayne Wade and more all to the beat of Ye’s latest single, which features Young Jeezy.

The video was produced by NBA Entertainment and is available online to view at the NBA’s official website.

Rihanna fans (and those pesky gossip blogs) tired of talking about the pop goddess’s personal dramas can finally take a break and celebrate; Rihanna is making a return to the stage!

Two months after the Feb. 8 altercation with boyfriend Chris Brown caused her to temporarily sideline her career, it has been announced that Rihanna will perform a one-off gig in the UAE on May 28.

Vibe Events Management, the promoter for the event, will reportedly stop at nothing to make sure the Bajan beauty can put on the best show possible for fans in the region, promising that the venue chosen for the show can meet every demand on her 38-page technical rider.

A venue for the event will be announced soon and more than 25,000 tickets are expected to go on sale in the coming weeks.
