The Good: Trump dodges the Fox presidential debate
.@realDonaldTrump says Fox’s @megynkelly is “not a reporter.. she’s a lightweight” https://t.co/A7kC2v9Cvl https://t.co/FzeDvG2OGS

The GOP front-runner for the presidential nomination surprised social media announcing his plans to dodge Thursday’s debate on Fox News.
How unfortunate.
Donald Trump opted out of this week’ s fifty-eleventh Republican debate, a pivotal moment before the showdown in Iowa. His reasoning? He disagrees with Fox News’ selection of Megyn Kelly as moderator, calling her a “third-rate reporter”.
If that’s all it takes to make Trump go away, Kelly should be at every political event.
The Bad: B.o.B aka conspiracy brother
The cities in the background are approx. 16miles apart… where is the curve ? please explain this pic.twitter.com/YCJVBdOWX7

Rapper B.o.B, known to be socially aware, took a dive this week arguing an elaborate “the world is flat” theory. He even went at great lengths to provide mathematical and scientific evidence to support his hypothesis.
His ramblings soon became incoherent to the average tweeter, but not for famed astrologist and blerd Neil deGrasse Tyson. The brilliant mind attempted to accurately disprove Bobby Ray’s claims.
@bobatl Earth’s curve indeed blocks 150 (not 170) ft of Manhattan. But most buildings in midtown are waaay taller than that.

@bobatl Polaris is gone by 1.5 deg S. Latitude. You’ve never been south of Earth’s Equator, or if so, you’ve never looked up.

After a lengthy back and forth, B.o.B appeared frustrated, questioning NASA and asking if Neil was a mason. Tyson politely agreed to disagree.
@bobatl Flat Earth is a problem only when people in charge think that way. No law stops you from regressively basking in it.

While the exchange was a welcomed change to the Black Twitterhood, I’m sure it left many questioning B.o.B’s sanity.
The Ugly: Kanye annihilates Wiz Khalifa over mistaken tweet
New album title, WAVES
— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) January 27, 2016
It was all good just 72 hours ago as Kanye West seemed to be adding the final touches to his highly-anticipated albumm Waves (formerly Swish). After the expected reaction, his celebratory tweets turned down right cruel as he came for Wiz Kahlifa’s life. Wiz innocently tweeted the letters “kk”, which West mistook for “Kim Kardashian“.
Hit this kk and become yourself.

Kanye reacted as any husband would, but with a ferocity only ‘Ye could accumulate. He even came for Wiz’s son with West’s former girlfriend, Amber Rose.
With Twitter lit to the 10th power, Amber came to her baby father’s defense, spilling some tea of her own.
Awww @kanyewest are u mad I’m not around to play in ur asshole anymore? #FingersInTheBootyAssBitch☝
— Amber Rose (@DaRealAmberRose) January 27, 2016
Mr. West proceeded to do a 180, deleting his scathing tweets and apologizing to Wiz. And, he didn’t want Amber to continue her truth-telling. Besides, it turned out the “kk” Khalifa was referring to is a strain of marijuana.
KK is weed fool. Reason’s why your not wavy. Go bacc to Swish. https://t.co/7OT4xiQa5V
— KOE (@wizkhalifa) January 27, 2016
All of that commotion over some grass left Twitter radiating with jokes for hours…scratch that..for days.
Somehow Yeezy took it all in stride.
I’m happy that I now know that KK means weed… please excuse the confusion … now back to #WAVES
— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) January 27, 2016
Whatever, ‘Ye. We all know some hurt still resides over the love lost. And that is it for this week’s #SocialHoodWatch. Good grief.
