Kanye West and Drake, two of the most globally sought-after rapping sensations, are pointing their guns towards each other The 42-year-old Gold Digger hit maker told the crowd that he does not object to people labeling him as “bizarre” but there is one word he has a problem with and that is 'secular'. “Don’t call me secular. Because secular is trying to say that I'd do anything for anyone other than Christ. That's where they got it messed up. That's where they got it twisted," he said. While no names were taken, fans were sure it was none other than his rival Kanye was referring to as he had used the wor

Travis Scott dropping flirty comments on ex Kylie Jenner’s friend Jordyn Woods? While it’s no news to the world that Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott are no longer together and neither is she still in cahoots with her former friend Jordyn Woods, the internet is starting to brew some more drama in the Jenner clan. The world was momentarily made to believe that there may be something brewing between Kylie Jenner’s former beau and her ex-best friend after the rapper was allegedly seen on Twitter hitting on Jordyn.

US President Donald Trump. Photo: File BAGHDAD: US President Donald Trump warned Tehran it would "pay a very big price" after a mob of pro-Iranian demonstrators stormed the American embassy compound in Iraq, as his government said it is sending hundreds more troops to the Middle East.

Muhandis has been identified as second-in-command of the Tehran-backed Hashed al-Shaabi paramilitary group which includes Kataeb Hezbollah, the group that was targeted in the US air strikes. Defense Secretary Mark Esper said around 75

Facebook has blocked live streaming of Pakistan Broadcasting Corporation's (PBC) news bulletins for highlighting “Indian atrocities in Kashmir”, Radio Pakistan said Monday. The news coverage exposing “continued atrocities, curfew and military lockdown in IoK” led to the blockage, the statement said. Screenshots from back in May and July shared on the Radio Pakistan website showed a warning message from Facebook, saying that "your post goes against our Community Standards on dangerous individuals and organisations." The screenshots are an indication that Facebook has a history of censoring Radio Pakistan's content — a practise it may have repeated on the broadcast of its live streaming content. The warning, as per the screenshots shared, was given on posts that showed the picture of Kashmiri freedom fighter Burhan Muzaffar Wani and, in another instance, mentioned a "mujahid commander Zakir Musa" in the lead-in text. However, Radio Pakistan, which is a pa
