1. Kanye West declares he's 'releasing all grudges' due to the queen's death

Even in death, Queen Elizabeth II may have bestowed one last gift on all of us by getting Kanye West to finally put down his phone. Ye has taken to Instagram to declare that due to the queen's passing, he's "releasing all grudges" and "leaning into the light." Alongside two photos of the queen, the rapper wrote that "life is precious," something he apparently just realized after the death of a 96-year-old woman. This came just one week after West went on a wild Instagram posting spree that saw him share private texts with Kim Kardashian, claim that "pornography destroyed my family," and swipe at Pete Davidson by asking "how those tattoos of my kids doing in the trauma unit." But is Ye now declaring a ceasefire in his one-sided war on everyone in his life? Count us skeptical — though if we spot him in line to see Taylor Swift at TIFF this weekend, maybe we'll believe it.
