Who would have thought that ideas, releases, frustrations, accomplishments could be so captivating in under 140 characters? Since it’s debut a decade ago, Twitter redefined communication with the masses. There isn’t an artist, mover and shaker without one and for good reason. Careers can launch and be put to a halt through the social network. Post the right thing and gain the right followers or move people the wrong way with a Tweet and fade into relative obscurity. Those unconcerned with the Twitterverse can check here through our weekly feature “Tweets Is Watching.” We’ve filtered the top tweets and consolidated all the week’s events into one convenient feed so you don’t have to.
This week, Kodak Black is arrested for unknown charges, M.I.A. criticizes Beyonce and Kendrick Lamar, and Rihanna unveils her third full Fenty For Stance collaboration.
