Kendall Jenner claps back with ‘tweet of the year’ after fan claims NBA players are ‘passing’ her ‘around’


Kendall Jenner, 24, put the patriarchy in its place with one tweet. After the model was spotted on a road trip with Phoenix Suns player Devin Booker, 23, in Arizona on April 28, one fan tried to be funny.

 “Nba players passing around Kendall Jenner,” the fan wrote over a clip of three men tossing a little girl to each other.

Although the fan insisted the tweet was just a “joke,” many others interpreted it as shade towards Kendall’s romantic history (considering that she has previously confirmed dating two NBA players). Kendall made sure to get the last laugh!

Osaka, Mayor Ichiro Matsui has been appealing to people to take steps to reduce the risk of virus infection


The mayor of Osaka has come under fire after saying women take longer than men while shopping as he tried to promote social distancing to curb the spread of the coronavirus.

By Friday morning there were nearly 1,500 coronavirus cases in Osaka and the prefecture that surrounds it, making it the second hardest-hit after Tokyo.

Japan's government has declared a nationwide state of emergency till at least May 6 in a bid to stop the spread of the coronavirus.

In Osaka, Mayor Ichiro Matsui has been appealing to people to take steps to reduce the risk of virus infections, but his remarks over gender shopping behaviour stirred controversy.


'When a woman goes... it will take time,' Matsui said when asked by a male reporter about possibly reducing shoppers' entry to supermarkets to lower the risk of coronavirus infections.


'If it was you, if you were told to get this or that, then you would go directly... and go home,' he said. 'It's also fine for men to go shopping while avoiding contact.'

Matsui, who also said married couples should avoid going shopping together, drew criticism on Japanese Twitter over his remarks, with users saying they were sexist.

'Japan is a country where these words come calmly out of a mayor's mouth. Deplorable,' said one user today.

Another user said the remark showed politicians don't think enough about what parenting, household work and nursing involve.

'When I hear remarks like this... I feel the need for people with diverse backgrounds to participate in politics,' the user said.

Matsui actually got things the wrong way around, another user said, saying women needed less time than men when going out shopping.

'Women are deciding more quickly when shopping,' the user said, adding he took longer to find the right aisles for items he needed.

Matsui on Thursday also said people should limit how often the go to the supermarket to shop, suggesting people born in months with an even number should only go on even dates, and those with uneven numbered months should go on uneven dates.

Beyoncé donates $6 million to aid in the relief of covid 19


Beyoncé has joined in the mission to raise awareness and funds for COVID-19 relief. The Grammy Award winner, through BeyGOOD, her charitable initiative, has partnered with Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey’s #Startsmall, donating $6 million to aid organizations that provide mental wellness services.

The recipients include health facilities supported by UCLA, the National Alliance on Mental Illness (particularly in New York, Houston, New Orleans, and Detroit), the United Memorial Medical Center, Bread of Life, Mathew 25, and more.

Since the coronavirus outbreak, many groups have been created to help small businesses, scientific research, and child welfare—both locally and nationally. Bey, however, is focusing on communities in metropolises that have been especially hit hard.


“In our major cities, African-Americans comprise a disproportionate number of workers in these indispensable occupations, and they will need mental health support and personal wellness care, including testing and medical services, food supplies and food deliveries, both during and after the crisis,” read a statement released by Beyoncé’s representatives.

Her act of generosity follows other celebrities who have pledged substantial monetary aid. They include her husband, Jay-Z, as well as Rihanna, Demi Lovato, and Dorsey, who sparked these charitable efforts with his $1 billion donation. Like Beyoncé, all are committed to helping those in need during this trying time.
