Pusha T hasn’t released any new music recently but there’s an album that’s apparently on the way. However, the rapper’s been back in the limelight —  at least on social media –– this week following the release of both Donda and Drake’s Certified Lover Boy. Their feud has been well-documented but Push has slyly thrown shade in Drake’s direction over the past few days.

At first, Pusha T liked a tweet that observed the first and second-day streaming numbers between Drake and Kanye. The latter took the lead on the second day of full-day streams while the former shattered Spotify and Apple Records within the first day of streaming. Of course, the Internet took notice immediately but it wasn’t enough to garner a response from Drake.

Pusha T is apparently still scrolling the timeline in search of Drake slander. Earlier today, fans noticed Pusha T liked a tweet that suggested he managed to push Drake out of hip-hop. “crazy how pusha t literally managed to push drake out of hip hop entirely,” the tweet reads. It’s not really an accurate claim but Pusha T went ahead and clicked the red heart underneath the tweet.

While Drake doesn’t address Pusha T on his new album, he definitely did send a few shots at Kanye’s direction on “7am on Bridle Path.” Perhaps, the recent spree of liked tweets could reignite their feud on wax but chances are it doesn’t.

Check out the tweet below. 

We often celebrate certain advancements in technology that make our lives easier, but a glitch in Facebook’s app caused an uproar. The popular social media platform is doing its best to retain users after being accused of allowing false information to be shared, thus impacting elections. Facebook has cracked down on the spreading of “false news” and implemented strategies to make navigating their website and app easier, including its artificial intelligence that attempts to offer suggestions to users.

However, that AI landed the company in hot water after users complained that when they were watching a video featuring a Black man, it asked if they wanted to see additional “videos about primates.”

Facebook was quickly dubbed to be racist and soon, the suggestion feature was reportedly taken down. According to NPR, Facebook is investigating the issue and in the meantime, they have offered an apology to the public via The New York Times. A representative for Facebook called the issue “unacceptable” and added: “As we have said, while we have made improvements to our A.I., we know it’s not perfect, and we have more progress to make. We apologize to anyone who may have seen these offensive recommendations.”

“This ‘keep seeing’ prompt is unacceptable, @Facebook,” Facebook employee Darci Groves recently tweeted. “And despite the video being more than a year old, a friend got this prompt yesterday. Friends at [Facebook], please escalate. This is egregious.”

There were rumors that Diddy was reconnecting with an old girlfriend and the internet was all abuzz about the Bad Boy icon canoodling with City Girls rapper Yung Miami. It is unclear if the gossip is true about either of those relationships, but pictures don’t lie, and it seems that Diddy and Joie Chavis have been getting close.

Many celebrities often let rumors run wild without addressing them, but no one expected to see these two embracing, cuddling, and locking lips.

In photos that went viral just hours ago, Sean Combs and Joie Chavis were photographed enjoying some private time on a yacht. The pair laid out in the sun seemed to be having the time of their lives and now, the internet is scrutinizing the possibility of this romance on social media. 

Joie has two children with Bow Wow and Future, but people can’t help but bring up the fact that both Future and Diddy also dated Lori Harvey. The public has been piecing together the dating chart that connects rappers and their exes, including mentioning that Bow Wow and Ciara dated and Ciara has a child with Future.

It looks as if Diddy is the real Certified Lover Boy. Check out the photos, and a few reactions, below.

Rick Ross is currently on a press run for his book, The Perfect Day To Boss Up: A Hustler’s Guide To Building Your Empire. The rapper recently sat down with TODAY where he discussed the book, as well as a timely topic in the current state of hip-hop: Kanye West. The two have collaborated in the past but even Ross was caught off-guard by ‘Ye’s endorsement of Donald Trump. Over time, he came to understand Kanye West’s perspective which had little to do with politics and more to do with his pockets. 

Ross recently sat down with the TODAY Show where he detailed Kanye’s affinity for creating controversy and still delivering quality music. Ross explained that Ye’s can bring both of those two things together which often only leads to more success.

“Kanye has mastered the art of manipulating media and making amazing music,” he said. “That combination, it’s no telling where it will go. And I feel like if someone really feels Kanye is insane, they’re crazy.”

Ross elaborates further about his relationship with Kanye West in his new book. In an excerpt from the book, Ross shared more details about a visit to Kanye West’s Atlanta complex amid his presidential run.

“All of this [shit] was for attention, and it didn’t really matter if it was positive or negative attention because his brand grew either way,” Ross said of Kanye in the book. “That’s why he liked Donald Trump. That’s why he loved the Kardashians. It all made sense now.”

Ross added that Kanye West said, “Tomorrow I might tweet that I don’t feel like being president anymore.”
