Jay Z FINALLY admits he cheated on Beyonce

Image
Jay Z dropped hints on 4:44 that he had cheated on his wife Beyonce. But the Grammy winner has never come out and said outright that he stepped out on her. That changed on Wednesday when the hip hop legend, 47, sat down with Dean Baquet from The New York Times for a very revealing chat. The New York-born entrepreneur not only admitted that he been unfaithful to his wife of nine years, but the Young Forever singer also said that therapy kept them from getting divorced. He also touched on his difficult friendship with Kanye West, but went out of his way to insist he will always love Kim Kardashian's husband and that they will laugh at these spats when they're 89. Jay Z started talking about the infidelity when he addressed the scars he still has from his past. Those scars led to him push away his wife, 36. And that led to the cheating that she addressed in Lemonade.

Libya is ‘Worst Mistake’ of My Presidency – Obama

Image
US President Barack Obama has said failing to prepare for the aftermath of the ousting of Libyan leader Col Muammar Gaddafi was the worst mistake of his presidency. Mr Obama was answering a series of questions on the highs and lows of his time in office on Fox News. He said, however, that intervening in Libya had been "the right thing to do". The US and other countries carried out strikes designed to protect civilians during the 2011 uprising. But after the former Libyan leader was killed, Libya plunged into chaos with militias taking over and two rival parliaments and governments forming. So-called Islamic State (IS) gained a foothold, and Libya became a major departure point for migrants trying to reach Europe.

Hundreds of thousands of sub-Saharan Africans are currently trapped in Libya, stranded as they try to reach Europe. A recent report shows some of them being auctioned off. Over the past couple of days, you may have seen celebrities — like Grammy-nominee Cardi B, actress Cynthia Erivo, and model Bella Hadid — tweeting, snapping, and posting on Instagram about Libya. Diddy also spoke out. They're talking about recent reports out of the country that sub-Saharan Africans are being sold as slaves, some for as little as $400. Libya has been a natural focal point for a twin set of migrant and refugee crises over the last several years. Just 285 miles from Malta and 345 from Italy, Libya's northern coast has been a jumping off point for migrants trying to reach Europe for decades. The situation began to worsen in 2011, when the then-government was toppled by rebel forces — igniting a period of chaos and unsteady rule. Following the collapse of former Libyan leader
