Do the lyrics “Don’t start now” or “I’m levitating” ring any bells? All that belongs to Dua Lipa’s album Future Nostalgia that was released on March 27, 2020.

The situation continues to escalate. Kanye West has not stopped harassing Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson, leaving a bitter, unpleasant, and salty taste in online netizens’ mouths. Following months’ of enduring Ye’s cyberbullying, Pete has had enough and makes his first public response to the harassment. The diss track “Eazy”, which was released in mid-January 2022, was not even the worst of what the face of the world has seen produced from Kanye’s antics. Yet, this harassment truly got out of hand when Ye released a couple of inflammatory “art” pieces egregiously targeting and even going as far as personally threatening Pete as an individual. The first comprises of an animation of Kanye kidnapping, decapitating and burying an individual who unsettlingly resembles Pete Davidson. The second was a comic strip of sorts that was embedded with an eerie, ominous message: “Everyone lived happily ever after, except for skete you know who.” For those new to the drama, “skete” is the epithet Kanye venomously assigned to innocent Pete Davidson.  read more

Last week on February 15th, 2022, Kanye West, who has legally changed his name to “Ye”, made headlines with his ex-wife Kim Kardashian. The rapper has not been using his platform wisely and publicly shared several screenshots of their messaging conversation, heavily offending Kim and invading her privacy. He has also created multiple posts mocking and condemning Kim’s new partner  —the “Saturday Night Live” comedian Pete Davidson. However, Ye revealed later that he has been reflecting and improving his means of communication, deeply apologizing for his actions. He says, “I know sharing screen shots was jarring and came off as harassing Kim. I take accountability. I’m still learning in real time. I don’t have all the answers. To be good leader is to be a good listener.” read more
