Accompanying the drop is a cheeky music video directed by Dave Meyers where the ‘Thank U, Next’ singer is portrayed as running the White House with her entourage of female officials.

Khloe Kardashian has taken Tristan Thompson back and is happier than ever

Khloe Kardashian and Tristan Thompson are turning over a new leaf. The two have taken this time in quarantine to document all the precious moments of their two-year-old baby girl, True Thompson, on Instagram. So the rekindling of their relationship comes as no real surprise since the pair has been happily spending time together.

An insider revealed that “they are together and very happy”. But how did Tristan win her back after being accused of cheating twice? According to the source, “Tristan has bent over backwards to be with her. He has apologised over and over and swears he is forever changed. She resisted for a long time, but he’s slowly finding his way back in”.

This does not mean that Khloe has jumped straight back in. The source adds, “Khloe is hesitant and taking it very slow”.

Finneas’ new song ‘Can’t Wait To Be Dead’ is a song about his relationship with the internet

Following the release of ‘What They’ll Say About Us’, six-time Grammy Award-winning musician, songwriter and producer Finneas is back again with yet another impactful song. ‘Can’t Wait To Die’ stands as a testament to the times we are living in and how the internet plays such a huge role. Finneas explains, “Especially in an election year. Especially during a pandemic. Sometimes, the internet makes me laugh, sometimes it makes me cry, sometimes it makes me hopeful. But sometimes, it really makes me wanna be dead”. Well, it really has been a crazy year, that’s for sure.

Nicki Minaj wrote: “Standing with & praying for the brave young people of Nigeria who are on the front lines of this senseless violence. Your voice is being heard. #EndSARS”.
