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, Amina Buddafly is pregnant with Pete Gunz’s 10th child, Kendrick Lamar remembers Phife Dawg in Australia, and Azealia Banks takes a shot at Iggy Azalea once again.

Peter Gunz’s Wife Amina Buddafly Pregnant With His 10th Child
Amina Buddafly announces she’s expecting a child with husband Gunz. Wallace gave birth Gunz’s 9th child in February.
Caption: “There is one reason and one reason only why I got pregnant again. Actually there is no “I” in this, its “WE”! But since i am the one carrying: “I Got pregnant again because I made love to the man I love.” Now y’all can debate on why we did it until ya hair turns grey.. I feel good knowing that WE know and you just ‘think’ you know… A baby does not keep a man and being spiteful does not make you a winner! This is not a game. This is my life. But No matter what the circumstances were and are, I now feel happy to be expecting again and even happier to know I have the best baby daddy I could ask for. @petergunz174 I love you 4ever and I will never be scared to show or say it because of people. #babyBX ?”

Questlove Reacts To Brussels Terrorist Attacks
More than 30 people were killed and more than 200 have been injured during a series of terrorist attacks in Brussels, Belgium.
Caption: “??. Love to all our friends & their loved ones & their loved ones & their loved one in Belgium. May we (entire world) heal from the pain of this tragedy. It’s hard to not fall into the emptiness of the #ThoughtsAndPrayers hole. But my words and feelings are sincere. Belgium is an amazing place that has always shown us nothing but love when times were tough. I know it’s easy to give into fear (yes I dread the eventual message of hate that will be spewed from the ignorant in how to deal with these situations) and react irrationally. Do not give into fear. Nor ignorance.”
