Afghanistan dominated the news this week, but Drake's name somehow got dragged into the mix. The artist's name came up when social media users shared a video of the Taliban dancing to his "In My Feelings" song. According to The Associated Press, however, the video has been proven to be fake. 

Afghanistan became the center of world news when Taliban fighters captured the capital city, Kabul, shortly after the U.S. military evacuated the country. As Blavity previously reported, disturbing images showed citizens of Afghanistan clinging on to a plane and attempting to flee the country as the Taliban take power.

Chloe flaunts for Flaunt Magazine

While Drake's name was getting dragged into the chaos in Afghanistan, plenty of other celebrities for made headlines for various reasons. Chloe and Halle Bailey turned heads when they graced the cover of Flaunt Magazine. The two sisters appeared on the cover separately and told the story of their journey to stardom.

“There was a moment particularly when I was in London, and doing things on my own, and working every day, and working very hard, where I was like, ‘Okay, this must be what it feels like to have myself to rely on,’” Halle told the publication. “I am kind of proud of myself. This has been a wild ride into adulthood.”

Chloe is also just as proud of the challenges she has overcome to become an R&B star. 

“Being a woman, and then on top of that, being a young Black woman, there are so many challenges that come with each one of those defining factors of who I am as a person,” she said. “There is nothing like feeling that I am proud of myself because I went against the grain and did something that people said I could not do.”

Kevin and Draymond ask, "What's Beef?"

Kevin Durant and Draymond Green shared a heartfelt conversation when they interviewed each other about their time together with the Golden State Warriors. As part of Bleacher Report's segment, Chips, the duo talked about some of the differences they had as teammates and the circumstances that led to Durant eventually leaving the Warriors. 

And unfortunately, Ari Melber did the same

MSNBC news anchor Ari Melber went viral when he used the Notorious B.I.G.’s 1997 track “What’s Beef?” to describe the seriousness of the pandemic.

“COVID is dangerous,” Melber said in the clip. “It’s lethal. It’s a bit like the beef The Notorious B.I.G. used to rap about when he said, ‘Beef is when your moms ain’t safe up in the streets/Beef is when I see you/Guaranteed to be in I-C-U.’”

Many social media users described the segment as cringeworthy.

Some people, however, approved the message and the performance.

Brandy has no idea what Cam'ron's getting at

Rapper Cam'ron provided some humor on social media this week when he was seen in a video as he uttered a series of numbers to Brandy.

"You can sit there and ignore me all you want," Cam'ron can be heard saying. "You know it's twenty-two, it's thirty-three, forty-four, fifty-five. You know I'm right, that's why you keep ignoring me. It go to sixty-six, seventy-seven, eighty-eight, ninety-nine—you know damn well eleven should be onety-one!" 

But Brandy didn't seem to be giving him much attention.

Lil Nas X channeled Hendrix

Lil Nas X dubbed himself as "Nasi Hendrix" when he dressed as Jimi Hendrix and graced the recent cover of VMAN magazine.

Speaking with VMAN, the artist talked about the various musicians who have influenced his work.

"Of course, Nicki [Minaj]! And definitely almost everybody in the pop world," he said. "You know, the Lady Gaga’s and Katy Perry’s of the industry. Strangely, I also had a big 50 Cent phase when I was young, and following that was probably my Tyler, The Creator and Frank [Ocean] phase. I was into a lot of different stuff."
