He’s once again calling out people in his life who said they would be by his side but have somehow failed him. Casanova surrendered himself over to federal authorities back in early December, and since that time, both he and his wife Jasmere Corbett, also known as Swaggy Jazzy, have taken to the internet to air out their grievances. Weeks after his arrest, Jazzy posted about “fake friends” who haven’t been attentive, and yesterday (March 14), Casanova hopped on Twitter with a thought about those who have mysteriously gone missing since he’s been locked up.

“IF YOU AIN’T SEND ME NO MONEY OR CHECK IN ON ME AND YOU SUPPOSEDLY MY MANS, SUCK MY DICK‼️‼️‼️AND THAT GOES FOR ANYBODY!” Casavona tweeted. In January, the rapper received the unfortunate news that he was denied bond, but Casanova remains optimistic that he will be found not guilty. Prosecutors allege that Casanova is a member of the Untouchable Gorilla Stone Nation and have accused the rapper of drug trafficking along with various other charges.

This latest tweet follows Casanova’s previous venting episode at the end of February where he complained that people are saying “free me on the internet” but haven’t visited him in jail when he’s only an hour away. Check out his latest tweet below and let us know who you think he’s referring to.

Breaking records isn’t anything new to Drake, especially when it comes to the Billboard Hot 100 but it doesn’t make the success any less sweet. Drizzy’s ability to crush record and streaming sales is arguably one of the main reasons why “falling off” isn’t in his itinerary. After breaking records and setting new ones, it seemed like there isn’t much more he could accomplish on the Billboard Hot 100 until this morning. 

Drake’s hot streak continues after becoming the first artist ever to debut three songs atop the Billboard Hot 100. The rapper’s Scary Hours 2 EP brought together three bangers that propelled to the top of the chart with “What’s Next” leading the pack. It’s followed by the Lil Baby-assisted “Wants & Needs” and “Lemon Pepper Wings” with Rick Ross at #3. Drake’s now the first-ever artist to accomplish this feat while also joining an exclusive club consisting of The Beatles and Ariana Grande as the only three artists to hold the top three spots on the Billboard Hot 100.

Drake took to IG where he celebrated the massive win on his page, sharing the Billboard post that reveals his positions. That image was followed by another of Steph Curry screaming with joy in his Golden State uniform. “SPLASHY,” the Toronto rapper captioned the post.

This is a season of shedding portions of her past and looking forward to her future for Kim Kardashian. It’s been heavily publicized in the media that after six years of marriage, Kim and estranged husband Kanye West are working through a divorce. The uber-famous couple has made headlines together since revealing that they were dating in 2012, and after sharing four children and a jet-setting life together, it’s alleged that they’ve decided to part ways.

“I think that this year has been so challenging for so many people but I also think that this year was a huge cleanse and just a huge opportunity for people to really be grateful for the simple things and that is a huge awakening I think that so many people had and just who you want to spend your time with,” said the reality star. “The people that you allow into your home because everything is so scary and everyone’s afraid of everything. I mean, just even the amount of time that I know me and all my parent friends spent with our children has been so beautiful. We get this time. I try to look at things from a positive way.”

The interview primarily focused on the conclusion of Keeping Up With the Kardashiansafter 20 seasons on-air. The business mogul explained that her role on television can be seen as an extension of home movies. “I look back and I think, oh my God—there are so many embarrassing things on TV for the world to see, but I’m so grateful for the evolution, because I’ve learned so much,” said Kim.

“I’m happy we were able to be on [air] for so long, and for people to see that,” she continued. “And to have all of those memories and home videos for almost 15 years… That’s amazing. I grew up with so many home videos, because that’s all my dad did. So it’s kind of a continuum of that.”
