Did Kanye West confuse Dave Blunts for Druski amid Diddy Lawsuit? Viral texts debunked
A viral screenshot allegedly showing Kanye West mistakenly confronting rapper Dave Blunts over allegations against comedian Druski has taken over social media. However, recent reports suggest the texts were fabricated for engagement, fueling further speculation online.
X user shared the alleged screenshot on March 10, writing, 'Kanye reveals texts with Dave Blunts about Druski in an Instagram post that is now deleted. This is actually CRAZY.' The post, which quickly racked up over 4.6 million views, appeared to show Kanye asking Blunts, 'Why am I seeing these allegations about you? I thought you were different. Delete my trainer's number.'

Blunts, allegedly confused, responded, 'Ye, that's not me. That's Druski.' Kanye then seemingly realized the mistake and replied, 'Oh. Nevermind. How much weight have you lost since I connected you with my trainer?'
However, the post was soon debunked. Community notes on X pointed out that Kanye's real Instagram handle is @ye, not @kanyewest, as seen in the viral image. Additionally, Ye had not made any such Instagram post or story, and his account was reportedly wiped clean. Furthermore, the user who first shared the post describes themselves as a 'concept artist' and 'satire' account.
Despite the confusion, an actual DM exchange between Kanye and Blunts did surface. On March 9, Kanye shared a screenshot of their conversation, where he praised Blunts' music and offered to help with his weight loss journey. 'Bout to listen. Do you mind if I connect you and my trainer? We need you to stay alive.' Blunts responded gratefully, 'Let's do it. Thank you Ye.'

In another now-deleted post, Kanye defended Blunts after Rolling Loud allegedly barred him from performing a track containing controversial lyrics. 'Dave Blunts gotta song that say ladyboy on it and Rolling Loud told him he can't perform it. But he can perform everything that's talking about guns,' Ye wrote. Rolling Loud, however, denied the claim, stating that it was Blunts' own team that made the decision.
Meanwhile, Druski has been named in an amended lawsuit against Diddy, where he faces allegations of drugging and assault. The comedian has since denied the accusations, calling them 'outlandish.'

Asim and Merub end engagement with grace
Singer Asim Azhar and actor Merub Ali have officially ended their engagement, the couple confirmed via Instagram on Thursday. In a heartfelt joint statement posted to his Instagram Stories, the Radd singer wrote: "We hope this message finds you well. We wanted to take a moment to share something personal, as we believe we owe that to those who have supported us — fans, friends, and well-wishers." "After a great deal of thought and reflection," he continued, "Merub and I have chosen to move forward on separate paths peacefully and mutually. While we shared meaningful moments and genuinely hoped for a future together, life sometimes takes its own course." Asim, who got engaged to the Sinfe Aahan actor in 2021, emphasised that the separation was amicable. "We have the utmost respect for each other and the families involved, and always will," he wrote, requesting fans and media for privacy during this period. The announcement concluded with a note of gratitude: "Thank you for your continued support." The pair had long kept their relationship largely private, occasionally sharing glimpses of their bond on social media. Even before they confirmed their relationship status in 2021, the duo had been fuelling the rumour mill for quite some time. Shortly before the engagement announcement, Asim took to X to clarify that he had never labelled Merub as his "sister", as was allegedly being claimed by some based on a doctored screenshot. He wrote, "To all reposting a screenshot of a 'news channel' that said I had labelled Merub as my sister [because] of a fake chat a fan had made, I clarified it a year ago." The singer continued, "Reminder, since this is a beautiful moment of my life that I want to cherish. Doosre ki khushi mai khush hona chahiye [You should be happy for others]." He went on to add in a separate post, "Clarification was important because the narrative was disgusting. Anyways, baaki sab ko mithaai jald hi ghar pohanch jayegi [the mithai will reach everyone else's homes soon]. I love you guys. Thank you for the love and duas." Merub also took to her Instagram story to request people to steer clear of spreading rumours for the sake of gossip. She wrote, "Please refrain from spreading false info, fake dates and especially refrain from bringing other humans down to celebrate us," in a possible nod to fans bullying actor Hania Aamir, whom Asim previously dated.

Trace Cyrus claims Brenda Song lied about being terminally ill and took his money
Singer Trace Cyrus has publicly accused his ex-girlfriend, actress Brenda Song, of a series of shocking allegations: lying about being terminally ill, stealing thousands of dollars from him, and faking multiple pregnancies. The claims surfaced on Cyrus's Instagram, where he posted, 'yes because she stole thousand of dollars from me and faked multiple pregnancies, & lied about being terminally'. His statement reconfirms rumors circulating online today and reignites past controversies. These are not new claims. Back in 2015, Song addressed similar rumors via Instagram. She clarified that pregnancy and miscarriage speculation 'were just lies and fabrications,' extending an apology for not addressing them sooner . At the time, Cyrus responded directly, stating that Song had personally spread the false information to friends and family . Biographical sources indicate the couple shared a long-term, on-again, off-again relationship before splitting roughly seven years ago . Tensions appeared to peak when pregnancy rumors emerged. Some sources claimed Song had considered abortion due to family pressure, though no confirmed evidence supports these claims . This latest Instagram post comes years after their breakup but amplifies old accusations. Social media users have shown mixed reactions: some accuse Cyrus of a misogynistic smear campaign, while others recall that Song once apologized for the rumors . At present, Song has not responded to the renewed allegations. As this story unfolds, fans will be watching for any official statements from Song, Cyrus, or their representatives—and whether new evidence supports or contradicts the resurfaced claims.
