Kanye West wants to fix things with Jay-Z? Rapper admits he ‘dreams' of apologising to former mentor amid online chaos
Kanye West aka Ye is serving chaos again, but holding the controversy, this time it might be growth. In a surprising twist of emotional transparency, the rapper took to X (formerly Twitter) to share that he 'dreams' of apologising to none other than Jay-Z, his former collaborator, mentor, and long-time frenemy.

From MAGA hats to 'I'm sorry': Ye hints at a Jay-Z reconciliation
This comes after a messy few months where West stirred the internet by making pointed comments about Beyoncé and Jay-Z's twins, Rumi and Sir Carter. The backlash was swift, with many calling it a new low. But Kanye, perhaps in a rare moment of reflection, recently tweeted (now deleted), 'I'm sorry Jay Z,' followed by a confession that he felt abandoned by the very industry he once considered family.
Apparently, the spark that led to their fallout? According to Ye, it was a creative clash over a lyric in Jail from his Donda album—specifically one involving West's infamous red MAGA hat. West wanted a line removed, but Jay allegedly refused to budge. The tension has clearly simmered ever since.

But that's not all, Kim K's still in the firing line
Of course, it would not be a Kanye moment without dragging Kim Kardashian into the chaos. The Heartless rapper let loose a barrage of rage tweets targeting his ex-wife and the entire Kardashian clan. Ye complained about his lack of control over parenting decisions, from school choices to lipstick permissions, calling the Kardashians a 'mob' influenced by Hulu, Disney, and a larger media conspiracy.

He did not stop there. West dropped a bomb by stating he regretted having children with Kim and should have 'slept with Paris Hilton instead.'
From wanting to make peace with Jay-Z to publicly regretting his family choices, Kanye West's timeline reads like a tabloid fever dream. Whether this apology leads to a Roc-A-Fella reunion or just another online spiral, one thing is clear: the man knows how to keep the internet talking.

Vivek Ramaswamy's photo with kids faces racist slur again: 'Why don't Americans deport this Indian?'
A heartwarming picture of Indian-origin Republican leader Vivek Ramaswamy was bombarded with racist and anti-immigrant comments by X users, as the MAGA world imploded with Donald Trump and Elon Musk attacking each other in public. Vivek Ramaswamy was closely aligned with the MAGA movement until Christmas 2024, when he criticised aspects of American culture and strongly reaffirmed his support for the H-1B visa programme. At the time, he was serving as co-chief of Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency. While Musk initially backed Ramaswamy's stance on H-1B visas, he reportedly disapproved of his subsequent actions. As a result, Ramaswamy stepped down from DOGE even before Donald Trump's inauguration. Ramaswamy had also put his hat in the ring for the US presidential polls but later withdrew from the race, despite backing from both Musk and Trump. As the two heavyweights locked horns on social media, Ramaswamy posted a photo carrying his two children — Karthik and Arjun — and wrote: "It's why we do it." The post had no connection with the MAGA crisis but was still met with vicious trolling. However, the comment section quickly turned hostile, with many users mocking Ramaswamy — some pointing out that 'Americans wear socks inside shoes,' likely referencing an earlier interview where he appeared barefoot. One user even asked Grok to change the background of the photo to a 'garbage-filled street in India.' "Why don't Americans deport this Indian?" one asked. "Is there a scientific reason as to why I find this photo repulsive?" a third user said. "Send him back to India... In the name of Jesus Christ," another wrote. "Do it in India," a hater said. Some X users pressed Ramaswamy to share his views on the Trump–Elon Musk feud, urging him to take a clear stand. While a few praised him for 'seeing it all much ahead of time,' others were curious about the extent of his falling out with Musk before he was shown the door at DOGE. One user questioned the MAGA movement's double standards, asking why it embraces Elon Musk — who wasn't born in the US — but not Vivek Ramaswamy, who was born in Cincinnati.

Simone Biles vs Riley Gaines: Trans debate sparks heated clash on social media
The Musk vs Trump row waves haven't died down yet, and X (formerly, Twitter) has platformed yet another, what netizens are now calling, 'cat-fight'. This time, the participants are Simone Biles and Riley Gaines. What's happening? Olympic gold medalist Simone Biles and former NCAA swimmer Riley Gaines have found themselves embroiled in a public dispute over the inclusion of transgender athletes in women's sports. The controversy ignited after Gaines criticized a Minnesota high school softball team's state championship victory, led by transgender pitcher Marissa Rothenberger. Gaines referred to Rothenberger as 'a boy,' sparking backlash from Biles and others. — Simone_Biles (@Simone_Biles) What triggered the fight? Champlin Park High School's softball team won the Minnesota state title with Rothenberger, a transgender athlete, leading them to victory. Gaines, quite well-known for her opposition to transgender women competing in women's sports, took to social media to express her disapproval, labeling Rothenberger's participation as unfair. She also disabled comments on her post, which led to further criticism. What followed? Simone Biles, the most decorated gymnast in Olympic history and a vocal advocate for inclusivity in sports, used her platform to confront Riley Gaines, a former collegiate swimmer known for campaigning against transgender athletes in women's sports, responded to Gaines' comments calling her 'truly sick' and accusing her of being a 'sore loser,' who bullies transgender athletes rather than seeking inclusion. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo Biles suggested that instead of attacking transgender athletes, Gaines should work towards creating inclusive spaces or separate categories for them in sports. She also labeled Gaines as a 'bully' for her stance. Simone's X post read, 'You're truly sick, all of this campaigning because you lost a race. Straight up sore loser. You should be uplifting the trans community and perhaps finding a way to make sports inclusive OR creating a new avenue where trans feel safe in sports. Maybe a transgender category IN ALL SPORTS!! But instead … You bully them … One thing's for sure is no one in sports is safe with you around!!!!!' Biles concluded with a final jab, 'Bully someone your own size, which would ironically be a male.' Gaines, of course, fired back at Biles, saying, 'This is actually so disappointing. It's not my job or the job of any woman to figure out how to include men in our spaces. You can uplift men stealing championships in women's sports with YOUR platform. Men don't belong in women's sports and I say that with my full chest.' She also hit back against Biles' suggestion of a transgender category and rejected accusations of body-shaming. The bigger debate: The heated sparring between Biles and Gaines highlights the ongoing debate in sports regarding fairness and inclusion. Gaines argues that allowing transgender women to compete in women's sports undermines fairness due to perceived physical advantages. She has been vocal in advocating for policies that restrict transgender athletes' participation in women's categories. On the other hand, Biles and other advocates for transgender rights emphasize the importance of inclusivity and the need to create environments where all athletes, regardless of gender identity, feel welcome and supported. Studies show that nearly 80% of people support keeping biological males out of girls' and women's sports, but Biles challenges the sports community to find solutions that balance fairness and inclusion with suggesting the possibility of establishing separate categories for transgender athletes to balance fairness and inclusion.
