Instagram began as something more about dinner pictures than beef initiation. Then it evolved into a video platform for those wanting to give a 15 second glimpse into moments. Somewhere in the middle, celebrities, including rappers, are bypassing the usual press roll for direct fan interaction. While some attempt to give a mystique about themselves, many let it all go in terms of their personal lives. And to think, it’s all from the comforts of their smartphone. Considering the amount of famous folks on the social network, it can be a lot to filter through post displaying everything from their luxurious lifestyle to studio sessions. With that in mind, HipHopDX presents a weekly feature for those looking to have a filtered look into the lives of your favorite notable humans.
This week, 2 Chainz eats the world’s most expensive popcorn, Ray J defends good friend Chris Brown, and French Montana and Iggy Azalea wind down in Cabo.

Caption: “Transition. That’s the word that comes to mind as I reflect on the year I’ve had. I noticed it wasn’t just me, but all my friends seemed to be transitioning as well, some in very different directions. I learned that at no point in life do we ever truly know. Years ago I thought I’d be done transitioning by 35 and everything would be set, boy did God ever prove me wrong. This was the first year since I was a teen that I wasn’t on a record label… U wanna talk about fear ? The times changed, music changed, ppl changed, and more importantly, I changed. I was full of self doubt and void of passion, without purpose if you will…. & the scariest part of it all is that I was content that way. But how quickly that feeling of overwhelming doubt turned into me feeling more empowered and inspired than I ever had before. God just kept showing me he was present. It was a domino effect with my son as the starting point. I’m thankful for the amazing network of friends, fans and extended family that allow me to lean on them in times of need, vent in times of frustration, correct me when I’m wrong and pick me up when I’m having trouble doing so on my own. Y’all let me be myself unequivocally all while loving me unconditionally (I think lol)…. Here’s to 1 more year. Let’s get it.”
