<p>In a recent interview, Akon backed Kanye West, once again,&nbsp;for his controversial comments on Adolph Hitler and the Nazis. The Senegalese-American singer also said that even though he disagrees with Ye, he believes that the 45-year-old rapper has the right to hold any opinion or belief. And, despite knowing that he is a Hitler apologist, Akon isn't going to stop taking his side because he believes that "communication is key".</p>

<p>During an interview with Sky News anchor Anna Jones, Akon revealed why he supports Ye and his controversial remarks. He said, "I show support for opinion and I think people will always have a specific opinion and I think the moment we get to the place where we close our minds up to other people's opinion, it kind of doesn't allow us to get to better know each other, better know our mindsets and more than anything better know our movements."</p>

<p>He further added, "I think sometimes we should open up our minds and let things play all the way out and better understand the situation so we have a better solution for it."</p>

<p>Akon said that even though he disagrees with him and he wouldn't mind sharing his POV during a debate, he still doesn't like the idea of shutting Ye down and smothering out his speech just because what he's saying is objectionable to some. He added that he is "a backer of the right to believe what you want to believe" and that "communication is key".</p>

<p>When asked if Ye's comments on Hitler troubled him, Akon responded, "Not really, because those comments don't really affect me personally,&nbsp;and if it does affect you personally then find a way to actually respond in a way to where that conversation can be reciprocated."</p>

<p>Akon's support for Kanye didn't sit well with several netizens and many expressed their outrage on social media.</p>

<p>One wrote, "What a bizarre take by Akon on Kanye’s Alex Jones hate parade, 'I think sometimes we should open up our minds and let things play all the way out and better understand the situation.'…umm @Akon what do we need to understand? Kanye made himself wildly clear. (sic)"&nbsp;</p>

<p>Another commented, "Akon saying Kanye’s comments don’t offend him because he’s not affected personally is literally why the Holocaust happened. (sic)"</p>

Nail art trends come and go quicker than we can keep up with them.

Nail art trends come and go quicker than we can keep up with them. While some have a short shelf life like bubble nails, mini French and gold cuticles, others keep popping up on our social media timelines, over and over again, establishing themselves as timeless nail art designs like glazed donut nails, patent leather nails, pierced nails, and ornate nail art. Currently, five amazing nail art trends are making waves online. And, we have listed each one of them here for you. So, without further ado, let's head straight to the list! Lip gloss nails Blooming gel Comic nails Moonlight Velvety Lip gloss nails View this post on Instagram A post shared by GELCARE® (@gelcare.official) As the name suggests, lip gloss nail art is all about flaunting a light and sheer coat of pink colour with a glossy finish. Just like a swipe of pink shiny lip gloss brings life to your lips, this nail art trend transforms the way your nails look. Lip gloss nails go with everything and they look great on all nail shapes and lengths like pointy stilettos, almond nails and squared-off tips. With just a shiny nail polish coat and natural pink shade, you can create lip gloss nails at home, without seeing a nail tech or visiting a salon. Blooming gel View this post on Instagram A post shared by 𝗦 𝗔 𝗦 𝗦 🪷 (@sass_nails_) Blooming gel is a clear gel polish which lends a blooming effect to any gel nail art design. It is simply a translucent gel formula which causes any colour to bloom when applied together. It is similar to a base coat but gives different results when used correctly. Blooming gel is quite different from other gel polishes as you don't have to cure it during the design process but wait until it blooms. According to nail experts, you first have to paint a layer of blooming gel onto your nail then draw a design while it's still wet. Once you are done with the design, you must wait for it to bloom. Depending on your desired effect, the longer you leave it to bloom, the more faded the edges will look. Anywhere between 30 to 60 seconds is enough. Comic nails View this post on Instagram A post shared by Aura_Nails (@auranails_yyc) Comic nails, also known as cartoon nails, are fun, eye-catching and super colourful. They seem like they have just popped out of a comic book and they give off a 3D effect. The design is versatile, cool and also currently trending internationally. Also read: Geode, bright swirl, two-toned French and other stunning nail art trends of 2022 Moonlight View this post on Instagram A post shared by Brown Girl Hands (@browngirlhands) Moonlight manicure is all about flaunting white nails that have a reflective pearlescent finish. They can be easily created at a salon with a white pearlescent gel or dip powder. If you are trying the trend at home, use a white polish with a shimmer top coat. Velvety View this post on Instagram A post shared by Nailpro (@nailpromagazine) Velvet nails, also called velvety by influencers and netizens on social media, are created by using a special gel polish, which essentially lifts the sparkle to create a velour-like finish. They seem like you have covered your nails with velvet fabric and a little glue. WATCH WION LIVE HERE You can now write for wionews.com and be a part of the community.

Iggy Azalea gives health update after back surgery

<p>It seems that Migos rapper Offset still hasn't been able to fully recover from his cousin, bandmate and dear friend Takeoff's death. On November 1, he was brutally shot by an unidentified man at a bowling alley called 810 Billiards &amp; Bowling Houston after an altercation. He was pronounced dead on the scene.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Opening up about how her husband Offset is dealing with Takeoff's unfortunate and shocking demise, Cardi B shared a voice note on Twitter and called out netizens who were "trying to be funny to get clout".</p>

<p>In a since-deleted Twitter voice note, Cardi B said, "We living our life normally, but deep down inside our hearts have been so heavy. I feel like if I talk about the incident so desensitized, I feel like if we talk about how we really feel or what motherf---kers really been going through, y'all will start saying, 'Oh, sympathy.' And we don't want no sympathy. We ain't no charity case. But no lie, I have been feeling so hopeless trying to make my husband happy."</p>

It seems that Migos rapper Offset still hasn't been able to fully recover from his cousin, bandmate and dear friend Takeoff's death. On November 1, he was brutally shot by an unidentified man at a bowling alley called 810 Billiards & Bowling Houston after an altercation.

It seems that Migos rapper Offset still hasn't been able to fully recover from his cousin, bandmate and dear friend Takeoff's death. On November 1, he was brutally shot by an unidentified man at a bowling alley called 810 Billiards & Bowling Houston after an altercation. He was pronounced dead on the scene. Opening up about how her husband Offset is dealing with Takeoff's unfortunate and shocking demise, Cardi B shared a voice note on Twitter and called out netizens who were "trying to be funny to get clout". In a since-deleted Twitter voice note, Cardi B said, "We living our life normally, but deep down inside our hearts have been so heavy. I feel like if I talk about the incident so desensitized, I feel like if we talk about how we really feel or what motherf---kers really been going through, y'all will start saying, 'Oh, sympathy.' And we don't want no sympathy. We ain't no charity case. But no lie, I have been feeling so hopeless trying to make my husband happy."

Cardi B feels 'hopeless' trying to make husband Offset happy post Takeoff's death

<p>On Monday, luxury fashion brand Balenciaga issued another apology letter for its&nbsp;controversial ad campaign that featured young kids holding BDSM-themed teddy bears covered with bondages. After removing all of its Instagram posts, the Kering-owned fashion house took to social media to, once again, release its mea culpa and address the growing backlash.</p>

<p>In its previous apology, the brand claimed that "inexplicable acts" made without its knowledge were "malevolent" and "extraordinarily reckless". Now, in a new apology letter, the French fashion house has taken full responsibility for its lack of oversight in the controversial ad campaign.</p>

<p>The brand began by saying, "We would like to address the controversies surrounding our recent ad campaigns. We strongly condemn child abuse; it was never our intent to include it in our narrative. The two separate ad campaigns in question reflect a series of grievous errors for which Balenciaga takes responsibility."</p>

<p>Speaking about the Gift Collection campaign that featured children holding plush bears dressed in "BDSM-inspired outfits", the brand accepted that they made a "wrong choice" and that they failed in assessing and validating the controversial images, for which the "responsibility lies with Balenciaga alone".</p>

<p>Balenciaga then addressed its controversial 2023 Spring campaign and apologised for its negligence. "The second, separate campaign for spring 2023, which was meant to replicate a business office environment, included a photo from a page in the background from a Supreme Court ruling 'United States v. Williams' 2008 which confirms as illegal and not protected by freedom of speech the promotion of child pornography," Balenciaga elaborated. "All the items included in this shooting were provided by third parties that confirmed in writing that these props were fake office documents. They turned out to be real legal papers most likely coming from the filming of a television drama."</p>

On Monday, luxury fashion brand Balenciaga issued another apology letter for its controversial ad campaign that featured young kids holding BDSM-themed teddy bears covered with bondages.

On Monday, luxury fashion brand Balenciaga issued another apology letter for its controversial ad campaign that featured young kids holding BDSM-themed teddy bears covered with bondages. After removing all of its Instagram posts, the Kering-owned fashion house took to social media to, once again, release its mea culpa and address the growing backlash. In its previous apology, the brand claimed that "inexplicable acts" made without its knowledge were "malevolent" and "extraordinarily reckless". Now, in a new apology letter, the French fashion house has taken full responsibility for its lack of oversight in the controversial ad campaign. The brand began by saying, "We would like to address the controversies surrounding our recent ad campaigns. We strongly condemn child abuse; it was never our intent to include it in our narrative. The two separate ad campaigns in question reflect a series of grievous errors for which Balenciaga takes responsibility." Speaking about the Gift Collection campaign that featured children holding plush bears dressed in "BDSM-inspired outfits", the brand accepted that they made a "wrong choice" and that they failed in assessing and validating the controversial images, for which the "responsibility lies with Balenciaga alone". Balenciaga then addressed its controversial 2023 Spring campaign and apologised for its negligence. "The second, separate campaign for spring 2023, which was meant to replicate a business office environment, included a photo from a page in the background from a Supreme Court ruling 'United States v. Williams' 2008 which confirms as illegal and not protected by freedom of speech the promotion of child pornography," Balenciaga elaborated. "All the items included in this shooting were provided by third parties that confirmed in writing that these props were fake office documents. They turned out to be real legal papers most likely coming from the filming of a television drama."

These are the years we need to introspect and make positive lifestyle changes that can help us live a more meaningful and fulfilling life. And, apart from watching motivational videos of prominent personalities to get a wider perspective on things, we can lean on to self-help books that empower us for the better.</p>

<p>Here're six self-help books I would recommend to every person approaching their 30s.</p>

<h3><strong>The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Steven R. Covey</strong></h3>

<p>Most of us ponder - what do these successful and accomplished people do in their lives that set them apart from the rest? Well, this self-help book by Covey answers this exact same question. It tells us about seven habits one can inculcate to be more effective and assertive at workplace, home, and in relationships.

<h3><strong>Boundaries: When to Say Yes, How to Say No to Take Control of Your Life by Henry Cloud and John Townsend</strong></h3>

<p>In a nutshell, the premise of this book is all about taking control of your life, building a wall with a gate and appointing yourself as the gatekeeper. In other words, it's all about creating boundaries that define who we are, who we are not, and what we can accept and cannot accept from others. Most people in their 20s have a really hard time saying 'no' to their friends, family and sometimes, even strangers. This book teaches us the correct way to set healthy boundaries and keep ourselves above the rest.</p>

<h3><strong>The 48 Laws of Power by Robert Greene</strong></h3>

<p>For Greene, power is a social game and one must master it to be able to study and understand people in different situations and circumstances. It is a how-to guide that teaches a person to be more powerful and effective in life. It covers a span of more than 3,000 years and includes 48 pieces of wisdom from men and women across a variety of international civilizations that all share a common thread.&nbsp;</p>

<h3><strong>The Power of Positive Thinking by Norman Vincent Peale</strong></h3>

<p>This book elucidates how we can harbour the ability to fulfil our dreams, free ourselves from the chains of hatred, develop a positive attitude, and attain a peaceful mind. And, its&nbsp;sole objective is to help the readers achieve a happy, satisfying, and worthwhile life.</p>

<h3><strong>Awaken the Giant Within by Anthony Robbins</strong></h3>

6 powerful self-help books you must read before you turn 30

<p>Our diet must be geared at improving our overall health and well-being, and according to experts, a plant-based diet certainly does that and much more. Switching to a plant-based diet rich in vegetables, nuts, whole grains and legumes from a meat-heavy diet can help you stay away from a number of diseases. And, according to a new US-based study, it can also help men reduce their chances of developing bowel cancer by 22 per cent. Researchers found&nbsp;no such link for women.</p>

<p>A new US-based study that involved nearly 80,000 men found that those who followed a healthy plant-based diet had a 22% lesser risk of bowel cancer as compared to those who ate a more meat-based diet.</p>

<p>The researchers couldn't find any&nbsp;such link for women, of whom 93,475 were included in the research. The study suggested that the link is clearer for men, who have an overall higher risk of bowel cancer. The findings were published in the journal BMC Medicine.</p>

<p>The study’s corresponding author,&nbsp;Jihye Kim, from Kyung Hee University, South Korea said, "Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer worldwide and the risk of developing colorectal cancer over a lifetime is one in 23 for men and one in 25 for women."</p>

<p>He added, “Although previous research has suggested that plant-based diets may play a role in preventing colorectal cancer, the impact of plant foods’ nutritional quality on this association has been unclear. Our findings suggest that eating a healthy plant-based diet is associated with a reduced risk of colorectal cancer.”</p>

<p>In the study, the food groups were differentiated into three groups: healthy plant foods (whole grains, fruits, vegetables, vegetable oils, nuts, legumes such as lentils and chickpeas, tea and coffee), less healthy plant foods (refined grains, fruit juices, potatoes, added sugars), and animal foods (animal fat, dairy, eggs, fish or seafood, meat).</p>

<p>“We speculate that the antioxidants found in foods such as fruits, vegetables, and whole grains could contribute to lowering colorectal cancer risk by suppressing chronic inflammation, which can lead to cancer,” said Kim. “As men tend to have a higher risk of colorectal cancer than women, we propose that this could help explain why eating greater amounts of healthy plant-based foods was associated with reduced colorectal cancer risk in men but not women.”</p>

Our diet must be geared at improving our overall health and well-being, and according to experts, a plant-based diet certainly does that and much more. Switching to a plant-based diet rich in vegetables, nuts, whole grains and legumes from a meat-heavy diet can help you stay away from a number of diseases.

Our diet must be geared at improving our overall health and well-being, and according to experts, a plant-based diet certainly does that and much more. Switching to a plant-based diet rich in vegetables, nuts, whole grains and legumes from a meat-heavy diet can help you stay away from a number of diseases. And, according to a new US-based study, it can also help men reduce their chances of developing bowel cancer by 22 per cent. Researchers found no such link for women. A new US-based study that involved nearly 80,000 men found that those who followed a healthy plant-based diet had a 22% lesser risk of bowel cancer as compared to those who ate a more meat-based diet. The researchers couldn't find any such link for women, of whom 93,475 were included in the research. The study suggested that the link is clearer for men, who have an overall higher risk of bowel cancer. The findings were published in the journal BMC Medicine. The study’s corresponding author, Jihye Kim, from Kyung Hee University, South Korea said, "Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer worldwide and the risk of developing colorectal cancer over a lifetime is one in 23 for men and one in 25 for women." He added, “Although previous research has suggested that plant-based diets may play a role in preventing colorectal cancer, the impact of plant foods’ nutritional quality on this association has been unclear. Our findings suggest that eating a healthy plant-based diet is associated with a reduced risk of colorectal cancer.” Also read: Expert talks about plant-based diets and why they are beneficial for us During the research, people were asked to reveal how often they eat certain foods from a list of more than 180 items and their portion sizes.

Study reveals plant-based diet can lower bowel cancer risk in men by 22 per cent

<p>Hollywood star Dwayne Johnson aka The Rock took a trip down memory lane and revealed in a new Instagram post that he used to steal chocolates from a&nbsp;7-Eleven store when he was 14 years old. He shared that he was so broke that he couldn't afford the chocolate bar and had to shoplift on his way to the gym. To right his wrongs, the actor recently returned to the Hawaii store and bought all the chocolate bars that were displayed on the shelf. Instead if taking them back to his apartment, he left them at the cash counter and told the employee there to give them to people for free.</p>

<p>Sharing his story with the world, he posted a video on Instagram and wrote, "I finally exorcised this damn chocolate demon that’s been gnawing at me for decades. We were evicted from Hawaii in ‘87 and after all these years - I finally got back home to right this wrong."</p>

<p>He added, "I was broke as hell, so I used to steal a king-sized @snickers EVERY DAY from 7-11 for almost a year when I was 14yrs old, on my way to the gym. The Snickers was my pre-daily workout. The same clerk was there every day and always just turned her head and never busted me. (sic)"</p>

<p>The actor continued, "I’ve exorcised a few big demons over the years (I still have a few left;) so I know this one seems VERY SILLY, but every time I come back home to Hawaii and drive by 7-11… I always knew I needed to go in and clean out every Snickers bar they had - the right way. (sic)"</p>

<p>To conclude, he wrote, "And as a bonus it was a lot of fun to take care of everybody who walked into 7-11 while I was there. Least I could do considering all the shit I used to steal from here We can’t change the past and some of the dumb stuff we may have done, but every once in a while we can add a little redeeming grace note to that situation — and maybe put a big smile on some stranger’s faces."</p>

'Pushpa - The Rise' dubbed version to be released in Russia on THIS date

<p>Nearly seven months after filing for divorce from Billy Ray Cyrus, Tish Cyrus has announced that she is dating actor Dominic Purcell. To make her relationship Insta-official, she shared a loved-up picture on her Instagram stories and wrote, "Thanks for the cute photo @Vijatm," along with a heart emoji. The 55-year-old manager is seen hugging the 52-year-old actor in the now-viral snap.</p>

<p>Even though this is the first time Tish has shared a picture with Dominic, some fans have been speculating since the last four months that the pair could be more than just friends. Sparking relationship rumours, Tish wrote, "Hi babe," on Dominic's August Instagram post. To which, he responded, "Hi love." &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>Tish is also very close to Dominic's daughter Lily-Rose. Back in August, the 19-year-old had posted a selfie with Tish&nbsp;during their weekend getaway in Canada.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The news of Miley Cyrus's mom&nbsp;Tish's new romance comes just days after her estranged husband Billy announced his engagement to fellow singer Firerose.&nbsp;The two met while working on the popular Disney Channel series 'Hannah Montana about 12 years ago.&nbsp;Their bond grew stronger during the COVID-19 pandemic when they started writing songs together. The duo released their single 'New Day'&nbsp;in July 2021.</p>
