According to a familiar cliché, a picture is worth a thousand words. Your favorite celebrities—including rappers—are doing less and less press, but luckily their thumbs and smartphones still work. Instagram has provided a way for them to document their lives and/or thoroughly embarrass themselves for our collective enjoyment. The beauty of it all is that you don’t even need to join Instagram, as most rappers are perfectly fine leaving their feeds open for public viewing. And if you’d rather avoid the IG life altogether, we’ve filtered through the top rapper’s pictures and videos and consolidated all the week’s events into one convenient feed.

This week, Rihanna confirms she was not using cocaine, Young Thug continues to diss Young Money, and Nicki Minaj reveals a ring on her left hand.

Did Young Thug Get Engaged?

Pop open Instagram looking for more beef videos featuring young cats with AK’s and tough talk and you would have been surprised to find a pair of his-and-her rings on Thuggers feed. Fast forward a day and you see him kissing a stunner. Who knew, huh? Caption: “4Ever!!!”
