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, Rick Ross remains neutral amidst the Wale/Rick Ross beef, Drake releases his “Hotline Bling” music video, and Kevin Gates marries longtime girlfriend Dreka Haynes.

Who proofread this!?? It’s Wale & weak skillz…I mean Meek Mill
Benjamin Franklin was never President. LOL.
I’m glad this was written by ‘HipHopDX Staff’ so I can call every single person involved with this website ignorant as shit and stupid as fuck. “$100 bill with Gucci Mane’s signature ice cream cone tattoo on Benjamin Franklin’s face. There is a sort of contraption on the president’s head” Do the writers at DX really not know Ben Franklin was NEVER President? Does everyone working in your offices read and write at a 2nd grade reading level. The lack of integrity on this site is embarrassing.
Benjamin Franklin wasn’t a president of the United States,but was president of Pennsylvania
