Kendrick Lamar appeared to reignite his feud with Drake and J.Cole when the rapper voiced the “Big 3” on Future and Metro Boomin’s new album.

Drake, Kendrick Lamar and J. Cole are known as The Big 3 of rap, with Kendrick claiming, “The big three, n***a, it’s just big me.”

Future and Metro Boomin’s highly anticipated joint album, We Don’t Trust You, was released on Friday and features guest appearances from Drake, Travis Scott and Rick Ross, among others.

Attacking Drake and J.Cole on a song titled Like That, Kendrick raps, “Sneak dissin’, First Person Shooter, I hope they came with three switches.”

‘I still got PTSD / Muthaf**k the big three, n***a, it’s just big me / N***a, bum, what? I’m really like that.’

He ends his verse with, “N***a, bum, ‘for all your dogs gettin’ buried / That’s a K with all these nines, he gon’ see Pet Sematary.”

Drake and J.Cole previously collaborated on First Person Shooter and his 2023 album For All the Dogs.

The song contained the following lyrics: ‘Love when they discuss the hardest MC/Is it K-Dot? Is it Aubrey? Or me?/We, the big three, like we started a competition, but right now I feel like Muhammad Ali.

‘Who the GOAT? Who are you really rooting for?/Just like a child who misbehaves from January to November, it’s just you and Cole,” Drake added, ignoring Kendrick’s existence.

Fans shared their thoughts on hope we get spicy Drake and spicy Cole as a result of this Kendrick verse.”

“I’m a fan of both J.Cole and Kendrick Lamar. I heard the song and I think it was more Drake-oriented. I’m all for them having outright disses, because I believe this is what hip-hop needs!’

Meanwhile, others claimed: ‘Lol Kendrick calling himself the big me from his basement, he hasn’t been outside, stop this nonsense.’: ‘I love Kendrick and he’s a great rapper but bashing J.Cole or Drake is such an influence take his side.’

In October, Taylor Swift praised her Bad Blood collaborator Kendrick following the re-release of her highly anticipated 2014 hit album, 1989 (Taylor’s Version).

The hitmaker, 33, raved about Lamar helping her ‘reclaim and own’ her work, following a row over ownership of her back catalogue.

Bad Blood was originally released in 2014, and Lamar, 36, stars in a subsequent hip-hop remix released in 2015.

Now Lamar has lent his vocals to the brand new re-recording of the song that appears on the deluxe version of her new 1989 album.

In a tribute she posted to her Instagram on Friday, Swift said it was “surreal” to know that Lamar had agreed to return to the studio for the song’s reissue.

“Watching @kendricklamar create and record his verses on the Bad Blood remix was one of the most inspiring experiences of my life,” she wrote.

“I still look back on this collaboration with so much pride and gratitude, for the ways Kendrick elevated the song and the way he treats everyone around him.

“Every time the crowd on The Eras Tour chanted his line, ‘You forgive, you forget, but you never let go…’ I smiled. The reality that Kendrick would go back and re-record Bad Blood so that I could reclaim and own this work that I am so proud of is surreal and mind-boggling to me.

“I’m thrilled to announce that the Bad Blood Remix (featuring Kendrick Lamar) is widely available on the 1989 Deluxe Edition.”

The post included a photo of Taylor with Kendrick, along with a video of her performing the song for her fans as they read his part of the song to her.

Taylor finally re-released her 2014 hit album 1989 (Taylor’s Version) on Thursday after a row over ownership of her back catalogue.

Queen Camilla arrived on the Isle of Man to present the Letters Patent conferring City status on the Borough of Douglas earlier today. 

Cheering crowds and Ellan Vannin pipes and drums lined the streets as Her Majesty, 76, arrived at Douglas Borough Council this afternoon, shortly after landing at Ronaldsway Airport.

It is a significant day for the council with Camilla set to sign the Letters Patent conferring City status on the Borough of Douglas, which was awarded during the 2022 Platinum Jubilee.

King Charles III would have been at the memorable service but has reduced public engagements following his cancer diagnosis.

Nonetheless, a cheerful Camilla represented Charles, 75, and delivered a speech on his behalf.

Waving Union Jack flags in their hands, excited school children patiently waited outside the building to welcome the Queen to Douglas.

Upon Her Majesty’s arrival, Lieutenant Governor Sir John Lorimer greeted Camilla outside the City Hall.

Looking typically elegant, Camilla donned an all-blue ensemble with a mid-length tailored coat, an opulent sapphire brooch, and a matching navy blue Chanel bag.

The Queen completed her ensemble with her favourite black suede boots from Eliot Zed.

The mother-of-two appeared in high spirits as she greeted council members outside the Douglas City Hall.

Once inside, Camilla delivered a speech on behalf of the King before presenting the Letters Patent, confirming the capital of the Isle of Man as a city.

Douglas was awarded the elevated status during Queen Elizabeth’s 2022 Platinum Jubilee celebrations.

Alongside Natalie Byron-Teare, Mayor of Douglas, Camilla conducted a short walkabout around the hall. 

After Camilla signed the Letters Patent, she unveiled a commemorative plaque outside the City Hall before meeting with members of the public – and even waving for a selfie with one. 

Camilla’s visit follows explosive claims that at least one staff member had attempted to access personal details about Kate following her planned abdominal surgery in January. 

The chief executive of the London Clinic, Al Russell, finally broke his silence this afternoon, saying in a statement: ‘Everyone at the London Clinic is acutely aware of our individual, professional, ethical and legal duties with regards to patient confidentiality.

‘We take enormous pride in the outstanding care and discretion we aim to deliver for all our patients that put their trust in us every day.

‘We have systems in place to monitor management of patient information and, in the case of any breach, all appropriate investigatory, regulatory and disciplinary steps will be taken.

‘There is no place at our hospital for those who intentionally breach the trust of any of our patients or colleagues.’

The Princess is said to be aware of the allegations, while a spokesperson for Kensington Palace said: ‘This is a matter for the London Clinic.’

Earlier today the health secretary Maria Caulfield, who is herself a nurse, said the rules were ‘very clear’ about the ban on accessing private medical information for no medical purpose.

She told LBC: ‘My understanding is that police have been asked to look at it – whether they take action is a matter for them.

‘But the Information Commissioner can also take prosecutions, can also issue fines, the Nursing and Midwifery Council and other health regulators can strike you off the register if the breach is serious enough.

‘So there are particularly hefty implications if you are looking at notes for medical records that you should not be looking at.’

Despite Ms Caulfield’s claims, the Met said it ‘was not aware of any referral at this time’.

The princess was admitted to the hospital for abdominal surgery on January 16.

Details of Kate’s condition have not been disclosed but Kensington Palace previously said it was not cancer related and that the princess wished for her personal medical information to remain private.

It comes after King Charles has been seen leaving Clarence House followed by Queen Camilla after days of royal conspiracy theories. 

Footage shows crowds of royal fans lined up to see the monarchs leave in their cars surrounded by security today.

One video shows Camilla smiling and waving at the public from the back seat of her car as she passes along the Mall. 

The King and Queen’s appearances follow days of growing conspiracy theories regarding the Royal Family, after The Princess of Wales made a surprise visit to her favourite farm shop on Saturday. 

Kate, who has stepped away from the spotlight as she recovers from abdominal surgery, was spotted looking ‘happy, healthy and relaxed’ as she picked up goods from the independent store just a mile from her Adelaide Cottage home this weekend. 

But conspiracy theories are still proliferating online with some suggesting the photo is not the royal but instead a Kate Middleton lookalike. 

Online speculation has spread in recent weeks about the whereabouts of the Princess of Wales as she continues to recover from her January surgery, with palace aides saying they would not comment on her recovery.

Kensington Palace has always said the Princess would be ‘unlikely to return to public duties until after Easter’ – and earlier this month aides condemned the ‘madness of social media’ as unsubstantiated theories continued to spread.

Meanwhile, King Charles has also taken a step back from royal duties as he continues to receive treatment for cancer.  

There had been hopes the farm shop video would put to bed concerns about Kate’s health and discredit the bizarre, baseless and hurtful conspiracy theories being spread about her online.

One royal source told the Telegraph: ‘Finally everyone can calm down’.

However, theories continue to proliferate now that the video has been published.

Among the speculation being circulated by cruel trolls are that the Princess has died, or is using a body double or even her sister Pippa as a stand-in; unkind provocateurs have even suggested that she is in a coma or being faked with AI.

The farm shop video came just days after Kate admitted editing her own Mother’s Day photo released to the public, sparking more speculation online about her whereabouts. 

The Princess of Wales took the blame for the picture being changed, which led to its withdrawal by six news agencies in the hours after it was published.

It looks like an alien spaceship, or a new galaxy that has suddenly appeared in the sky.

But a mysterious blue spiral that appeared in the middle of the Northern Lights was actually left behind by Elon Musk’s SpaceX.

Experts say the spiral shape appeared when SpaceX’s rocket blew off unnecessary fuel during its long descent into the ocean.

When the rocket fuel was ejected, it froze and crystallized in the shape of a spiral, which was then illuminated by the sun.

Photographers in Iceland and Norway captured the bizarre, unnatural phenomenon, which has an eerie, UFO-like appearance.

SpaceX launched a Falcon 9 rocket from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California on Sunday, March 4 at 5:05 PM ET (10:05 PM GMT).

It carried 53 small satellites into orbit, a mission known as Transporter-10.

As the scrapped second stage of the rocket passed over the Barents Sea in the Arctic Ocean, it performed a ‘de-orbit burn’: its engines were fired to allow it to re-enter Earth’s atmosphere.

As it spun, the exhaust turned into a spectacular spiral, catching the light of the sun.

Those still awake in Northern Europe in the early hours of March 5 were there to witness the strange sight.

Photographer Bettina Begtoft captured the appearance in Norway with the Barents Sea in the foreground.

“I noticed it at 2:02 a.m. local time,” Begtoft said spaceweather.com.

‘To the naked eye it looked white, but my Nikon D750 camera showed the beautiful blue color.’

Another image of the same SpaceX spiral was captured at Shang Yang in the town of Akureyri, northern Iceland.

“I caught this on March 5 around 1 a.m. local time in Akureyri,” Yang said.

“It looked otherworldly against the northern lights.”

This isn’t the first time SpaceX has tricked observers into thinking UFOs might be present.

In January last year, the company left a blue-tinged spiral over Maunakea, Hawaii, after launching a new satellite.

It was captured on camera by the Hawaiian Subaru Telescope and grew from a small dot into a spiral, gradually expanding and fading.

And in June 2022, a new blue spiral across New Zealand’s skies confused onlookers who thought it was of extraterrestrial origin.

The spiraling gas plume lit up the sky over Nelson, a city on the tip of New Zealand’s South Island, and traveled 750 kilometers south to Stewart Island.

These spirals are a “routine byproduct” of SpaceX operations and are common over the Pacific Ocean, according to spaceweather.com.

Olivier Staiger, an independent astronomer based in Switzerland, managed to predict that the March 5 SpaceX spiral would occur.

He now thinks another one will occur in October during SpaceX’s Transporter-12 mission, and that it could be accompanied by more auroras and meteor showers.

There are two major meteor showers in October – the Draconids (October 8-9) and the Orionids (October 21-22) – that could coincide with Transporter-12.

In addition, a comet named Tsuchinshan-ATLAS is expected to peak and become visible from Earth in September or October 2024.

A fifth steel monolith shaped like a giant Toblerone was spotted on a hillside in Wales last weekend, in the latest in a series of bizarre sightings.

The sighting follows a number of similar reports in Britain and the US. But where exactly have previous monolith sightings occurred? When did they take place and could there be a deeper meaning behind them?

Read on below for everything you need to know about monolith sightings that have occurred in recent years.

Hay-on-Wye, Wales

Locals in Hay-on-Wye spotted the three-metre-tall block of steel, which resembles the distinctive chocolate bar shape, on Hay Bluff near the town of Powys this weekend.

The last monolith sighting was captured in a photo by Richard Haynes, who took the photos while running on Hay Bluff.

Speaking to WalesOnline, Mr Haynes said: ‘I was heading towards Hay Bluff, where the trig point is, and looked to the right. I thought it looked a bit bizarre and might have been a scientific media study collecting rainwater.

‘But then I realized that it was much too big and too strange for that. Then I went there and it was at least ten feet tall and triangular, definitely stainless steel.

‘It was hollow and I think it was quite light. Light enough for two people to lift and plant in the ground.’

Curiously, Mr Haynes said he often walked the route and had never seen the monolith before, while a friend who visited the site for two weeks also said he had not seen the structure at the time.

“I noticed on Google that it has popped up quite recently and from what I can understand it goes away after a few days,” he added.

St Buryan, Cornwall

On December 12, 2020, local resident Luke Brown stumbled upon another imposing monolith in Cornwall and captured a video of the metal object.

He said: ‘I was rather shocked and awestruck to find a monolith in the center of the Merry Maidens stone circle just before sunset, the only time I left my camera at home.

‘It was a beautiful thing, but I can’t help but think about the damage that may have been done to this beautiful conservation area.’

The Merry Maidens, also known as Dawn’s Men – a likely corruption of the Cornish Dans Maen Stone Dance – is a late Neolithic stone circle.

The circle, thought to be complete, consists of nineteen granite megaliths and lies in a field along the B3315 between Newlyn and Land’s End.

Dartmoor, Devon

Just one day before the monolith was captured in Cornwall, one measuring 2.5 meters high was also spotted in Dartmoor National Park, Devon.

The structure was spotted on Dartmoor by photographer Sarah Clarke, who took a photo of the monolith before posting it to X, formerly Twitter.

She assured her followers that the image was not created with Photoshop software, saying: ‘So a very exciting morning – it’s real!

“Anyone who knows me knows that I just can’t do Photoshop, so take my word for it.”

Mark Bullock, who went to look at the pillar on Wednesday, said the vantage point on the hill made it seem like “there was something wrong with the sky.”

He added: ‘It was a bit surreal.’

Dartmoor National Park quickly removed the monolith after Ms Clarke’s post, saying the moorland is protected.

A spokesperson said: ‘We know people may find this sort of thing an interesting topic of conversation, but we must remember that Dartmoor is a protected landscape because of its importance for wildlife, nature and archaeology.’

Glastonbury Tor, Somerset

Just 48 hours earlier, another similar structure was spotted at the top of a hill in Glastonbury with ‘Not Banksy’ etched on it.

Walkers discovered the large silver structure top of Glastonbury Tor – an ancient hill linked to King Arthur and Celtic mythology.

It is believed that the monolith was placed there overnight before being felled by a gust of wind.

The shiny triangular pillar features a stencil drawing of a rat, similar to the style of street artist Banksy.

Michelle Cowbourne spotted the metal structure on National Trust grounds during her regular morning walk.

“I walked up the long slope and this was on the other side and when I saw it I couldn’t believe my eyes,” she said. “I just thought, what the hell is that.

‘There were two large metal bolts, but they were not properly secured to the ground.

“It’s a large piece of metal and it was very heavy,” Ms Cowbourne added.

Compton Bay, Isle of Wight

On December 6, 2020, another monolith was found by beachgoers in Compton Bay on the Isle of Wight.

A number of photos from different angles suggested that the monolith was buried in the sand, providing a perfect reflection.

It is unclear how the object ended up on the beach, as it is only accessible via a footpath.

Locals were quick to question whether the images of the monolith posted on social media were ‘photoshopped’ or whether it was ‘just a belated April Fool’s joke’.

But photographer Alice Williams insisted it was real and shared photos of the two-metre-tall structure at sunset in a local Facebook group.

Sara Sampaio took her relationship with Ray Nicholson to a new level on Sunday when they made their red carpet debut at the Vanity Fair Oscars Party.

The model and actor, both 32, oozed affection as they hugged on camera at the high-profile celebrity event.

The celebration coincided with the 96th Academy Awards, where Oppenheimer took home the most awards, including the night’s top prize, Best Picture.

The Portuguese beauty has been dating Ray – the spitting image of his superstar dad Jack Nicholson, 86 – since the summer of 2023, but they saved their big debut as a couple for Hollywood’s biggest night.

Sara exuded classic Hollywood glamor in a beautiful black and burgundy off-the-shoulder dress by Zuhair Murad.

The dress had a ruffled bodice and a voluminous skirt with a slit that exposed her beautifully adorned legs.

The dark material was enlivened with beautiful dark red rose designs and she combined the dress with a tasteful set of pointed black pumps.

Sara swapped her usual brunette hair for blonde locks after dying her hair last month. She styled her long hair with a side parting and let her long waves fall down her back.

She completed her opulent look with glittering jewelry, including sparkling diamond earrings and a chunky necklace adorned with more diamonds and a huge red stone, from Pasquale Bruni.

Ray looked suave in a well-tailored charcoal suit which he teamed with a black satin shirt without a tie and a pair of black loafers.

Sara shared some photos of her Oscars party preparations on her Instagram Stories.

“Last night at @vanityfair with my ,” she captioned a post of her and Ray on the red carpet.

She included some behind-the-scenes photos, including one where Ray helped her zip up the back of her haute couture look.

In another photo, she beamed from ear to ear as she swept her hair away from her face and highlighted her delicate pink-hued nails.

Ray is the product of his father’s relationship with Rebecca Broussard, with whom the Oscar winner dated from 1989 to 1994.

Nicholson has three other confirmed children, including a daughter Jennifer with his only wife, Sandra Knight, to whom he was married from 1962 to 1968.

He would have a son Caleb with his Five Easy Pieces costar Susan Anspach, whom he did not publicly acknowledge until 1996; and an older daughter Lorraine from his relationship with Broussard.

The Chinatown star also has an alleged daughter Honey from his relationship with Danish model Winnie Hollman, whom he has never acknowledged; and a daughter Tessa with the waitress Jeannine Gourin, which he has also never publicly confirmed.

Sara and Ray have kept their relationship relatively under the radar and were last pictured together on a shopping trip in Beverly Hills in December.

She was previously linked to literary manager Zac Frognowski, but their last red carpet appearance was in early 2023.

Ray was previously seen on a date with Delilah Hamlin in 2022.

After first starting acting in the mid-2000s, he has gradually worked with more and more prestigious talents.

He appeared in a small role opposite Jared Leto in The Outsider in 2018, and in 2020 he had a minor role in Promising Young Woman opposite Carey Mulligan.

In 2021, he spent a small part working with acclaimed author Paul Thomas Anderson on his 2021 film Licorice Pizza, before graduating to lead roles in the Neil Labute thriller Out Of The Blue, in which he co-starred with Diane Kruger.

More recently, Ray had a supporting role in the 2022 Zoey Deutch rom-com starring Something From Tiffany’s, and last year he collaborated with Camila Morrone, Willem Dafoe and actor and director Patricia Arquette on her drama Gonzo Girl.

AN iPhone owner was left confused after noticing a mysterious ‘running icon’ symbol on his device.

The little symbol appeared next one to a telephone contact – and it is not exactly clear what it means.

Your iPhone is chock full functions and knowing exactly how they all work can be difficult, if not impossible.

That’s why a confused iPhone fan Posted took to Reddit and asked, “What is the little running icon on my dad’s contact?”

They continued, “I’ve seen the car or the moon for Do Not Disturb, but I’ve never seen this one before (and my dad doesn’t have an Apple Watch.”

The symbol (with a small gray running person) appeared at the top right of the contact profile icon in the Apple Contacts widget on iPhone.

Apple fans were quick to solve the mystery: Workout Focus.

One wrote: “Yes it is, I see it on my wife when she goes for a run. It means you are currently logging a workout.”

FOCUS!

Apple introduced focus modes in September 2021 with the iOS 15 update.

“Focus is a feature that helps you reduce distractions and set boundaries,” Apple explains.

“If you want to focus on a specific activity, you can adjust one of the focus options offered, for example Work, Personal or Sleep.”

And you can also set it so that other people can see when you are in a Focus mode.

Apple noted: “You can use Focus to temporarily turn off all notifications, or allow only specific notifications (for example, notifications that apply to your task) and let other people and apps know that you’re busy .”

To set your focus modes, go to Settings > Focus and then adjust them.

You can also specify which apps and people can send you notifications while a focus mode is active.

And if you want other people to see your Focus, you can enable Focus sharing status in your Settings app.
