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, Drake’s album If Youre Reading This Its Too Late goes platinum, Timbaland teases us with new music from Aaliyah, and A$AP Ferg hosts a youth health fair in memory of his father.

A$AP Ferg Hosts Youth Health Fair
A$AP Ferg partnered with local organizations to host the Ferg Health Fair in the rapper’s hometown of Harlem, New York. He was inspired by his late father to create the event where under-privileged youth were given health exams and deejay scratch lessons. Caption: “My father D-Ferg senior died of kidney failure 3 days before my 17th b-day , 3 days before he was suppose to get his transplant.
Yesterday I did the 1st annual #fergfair in honor of him. The way it worked was you show up to the event and get schooled on your health status to see a free show with me and some surprise guest.
