While many praised Twitter permanently banning Donald Trump from its platform, Keri Hilson is questioning the “democracy” behind the decision.

As reported, the sitting president has been slammed by a large portion of the public as well as fellow politicians – who accuse him of inciting and stoking the shocking storming of Capitol by his supporters this week.

Zara Larsson has recruited Young Thug for new single ‘Talk About Love.’

And she’s wasting no time kicking off the push for the track.

Because the Pop chanteuse has premiered its accompanying video too.

Speaking on the release, the Swedish star – whose success has spanned the globe – said:

“’Talk About Love’ is about that phase before two people work out what they are to one another. That specific window is so beautiful and fragile, as soon as you start asking ‘are we doing this?’ or ‘how do *you* feel?’, for some people that ruins the magic. ‘Talk About Love’ is savoring that moment before you have to decide.”
