Rapper, 21 Savage, is in hot water right now, and it smells like English Breakfast tea. Specifically, he was arrested by ICE for allegedly overstaying his visa. Reports suggest that he's a U.K. citizen who overstayed his visa, and now faces deportation. With such a wave of unexpected news regarding a worldwide celebrity like that of, 21 Savage, the internet's naturally stepped up to meme the sh*t out of his deception.

In case you've been living under a rock on an isolated island somewhere, Fyre Festival has taken the online world by storm. It was an unbelievably ludicrous scam of a festival, that many people found themselves falling victim to. Promises that ended up being, empty-handed, and weaved on a giant web of lies. That being said, we've got a solid parody video that hits on some of the more ridiculous elements of the original Fyre Festival.
Ariana Grande's intentions with this tattoo were to promote her new album, 7 Rings, and instead she ended up sharing a tattoo that says "BBQ Grill", to the online world. Naturally, the fans and trolls of Twitter clashed online to defend and condemn her seemingly careless move. There's talk of the fact that she stopped the tattooing process due to the pain, but that didn't stop her from sharing the unfinished tattoo, that did NOT say 7 Rings in Japanese.

There good 'ol Sir David Attenborough goes, making this song feel like a gripping, hard-hitting documentary. I'm hooked.
Music's a crazy thing. It has the power to take us to a place outside the present moment, to a memory of where we heard a particular song play. It can reconstruct our mood, and throw us into the sublime or pained or bittersweet haze of a place, embedded as a moment in time, that has since passed. These 15 people shared their music memories from their childhoods, and it's a bit of an emotional rollercoaster!

Can we just watch and appreciate that dude tearing it up on the bass line? Let the funk flow through you, friend.
Divorces kind of pull on the old heartstrings...so, why not find that perfectly melancholic, soul-shattering song to accompany the grand occasion. Really commemorate the death of a once great love, in tasteful fashion. Just waiting on Spotify to roll out a Divorce playlist soon...
Coachella has released their lineup for this year, and twitter was there with their response. People thought up some pretty interesting and specific acts. Not much of a Coachella person, but would pay to see Sandra Bullock in a blindfold, just kinda wandering around.
Hip Hopera absolutely needs to be the next big thing.
Life is full of attempts, large and small. Sometimes you're trying to make a good point in a friendly argument. Sometimes you're trying to make a wholesome PTA event. Sometimes you're just trying to look good. More times than you'd like, however, failure will follow.
What makes people want to lie on the internet? Does it give them a weird sense of satisfaction? Do they think they can actually take credit for things that are easy to fact-check? Do they just want to make the world worse? Either way, what feels really nice is to see justice come to them in the form of a dutiful commenter.
