For many of us, Sundays are a day of rest and relaxation, but if rapper Ye's social media posts yesterday are any indication, his Sunday was anything but.

In several since-deleted posts on social media yesterday, Ye lashed out at his critics for speaking out against his ever escalating public attacks against ex-wife Kim Kardashian and her current boyfriend, SNL actor Pete Davidson.


And in the case of one critic, comedian DL Hughley, Ye didn't just lash out—he actually directly threatened Hughley in the caption of an Instagram post many interpreted as an admission Ye is willing to pay people to physically harm Hughley.

See a screenshot below.

In the since-deleted post, Ye wrote:

"...DL Hughley is a pawn. Yeah I know a king not supposed to address a pawn but I address everything and find addresses DL.
"So don't speak on me or my children. I can afford to hurt you."

Ye's threats came after Hughley spoke in a recent interview about Ye's treatment of Davidson, Kardashian and their children, which many have identified as obsessive and stalking.

Hughley echoed that sentiment and spoke of how frequently behavior like Ye's can escalate to something far more dangerous.

"It's never been funny... I've watched too many times when things like that happen and a woman or somebody's not believed, and then things escalate."
"He is stalking her."

He then implied Ye's superstardom has insulated him from any consequences of his behavior toward Kardashian.

"The difference between him and [someone who would have] a restraining order [against them] is about 20 hits and a couple of hundred million dollars. I just don't think it's funny."

In another deleted post, Ye attacked Hughley again for his comments, calling him a has-been and castigating him in bizarrely religious terms.

Ye wrote:

“God does not like you You have no favor Your family hates you I would hate to be related to somebody who used to be famous"
"Now you just known as a broke pawn. at least Oprah got billions ‘allegedly.’”

On Twitter, many people found Ye's posts shocking and were firmly on team Hughley.








One person who is definitely not disturbed by Ye's threats is DL Hughley himself, who posted a mocking response on Twitter.

Surely Ye will have something to say about this, too.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
