Kim Kardashian West has opened up her husband Kanye West’s battle with coronavirus.
“Kanye had [COVID-19] way at the beginning, when nobody really knew what was going on,” the beauty mogul told Grazia. “It was so scary and unknown.”

The reality star also revealed it was incredibly difficult as it was just her left to care for her four children – North, seven, Saint, five, Chicago, two, and one-year-old Psalm.
“It was a challenge because it was so unknown,” she admitted.

That’s not the only thing that’s rocked Kim this year.
Back in July, Kanye was showcasing some public erratic behaviour with Kim even having to make a statement about his bipolar disorder.
“As many of you know, Kanye has bipolar disorder,” she said in her statement she made back in July. “Anyone who has this or has a loved one in their life who does, knows how incredibly complicated and painful it is to understand.”
She continued to say, “I understand Kanye is subject to criticism because he is a public figure and his actions at times can cause strong opinions and emotions.”
The 39-year-old went onto highlight how the loss of his mother has affected him, as well as struggling with mental health issues has put “pressure” on him.

“He is a brilliant but complicated person who on top of the pressures of being an artist and a Black man, who experienced the painful loss of his mother, and has to deal with the pressure and isolation that is heightened by his bipolar disorder,” she said. “Those who are close with Kanye know his heart and understand his words some times [sic] do not align with his intentions.”
There were also reports that she was ready to end her marriage to Kanye, but it seems things are back on track for the couple who have been married for five years.

Rihanna has issued a public apology to the Muslim community for a “careless mistake” made in her Savage X Fenty fashion show.
Last Friday the fashion show launched on Amazon Prime and one of the songs which was used amongst the set was Coucou Chloe’s 2017 track Doom.

One of the verses in the song it remixes hadith, which is a sacred text in Islam which is a record of sayings of the prophet Muhammad and his companions.
Following the show’s airing, many took to Twitter to share their disappointment in the singer.

as a muslim, no words can describe how disappointed i am with Rihanna for letting her models dance to hadith. Hadith are the sacred words of our prophet, you can’t just use it for your lingerie show. disgusting and extremely disrespectful

i can’t let Rihanna have a pass w appropriating Islam like for her first show the models wore a scarf around their heads and it looked like HIJAB and her second show she used a track that remixed a HADITH….why is no one talking about this, my religion is not y’all’s aesthetic

On Tuesday, Rihanna issued a public apology on her Instagram thanking the Muslim community for bringing her attention to the mistake and referred to it as a “huge oversight”.
“I’d like to thank the Muslim community for pointing out a huge oversight that was unintentionally offensive in our savage x fenty show,” she said. “I would more importantly like to apologize to you for this honest, yet careless mistake.
“We understand that we have hurt many of our Muslim brothers and sisters, and I’m incredibly disheartened by this!”
The fashion designer and beauty mogul also insisted she does not “play with any kind of disrespect toward God or any religion” and called the use of the song “completely irresponsible”.

HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, has reaffirmed the that the United Arab Emirates is “everyone’s country”.
His words come after the 12th Annual ASDA’A BCW Arab Youth Survey 2020 results were released today. The survey showed that nearly half of young Arabs were considering leaving their home country, which His Highness said was “painful”.

“It is painful [to know] that half of our Arab resources wish to emigrate,” the Ruler of Dubai said on Twitter. “It is painful when the Arab youth do not find a homeland, safety and livelihood in his homeland.”
Despite this, the survey also revealed that it was the most sought after country for Arabs aged between 18 to 24 – it’s the ninth year in a row the UAE has come out on top.

أشار الاستطلاع أيضا إلى أن الإمارات هي البلد المفضل للعيش ل٤٦٪ من الشباب العربي تليها الولايات المتحدة ٣٣٪ ثم كندا وبريطانيا وألمانيا .. ونحن نقول لهم .. الإمارات بلد الجميع .. وقد حاولنا بناء نموذج ناجح .. وتجربتنا وأبوابنا وكتبنا ستظل مفتوحة للجميع..

“The poll also indicated that the UAE is the preferred country to live in for 46 per cent of Arab youth, followed by the United States, 33 per cent, then Canada, Britain and Germany,” His Highness said.
“The UAE is everyone’s country and we have tried to build a successful model – our doors and books will remain open to all.”

This year has seen supermodel Gigi Hadid swap the catwalk for the cradle as she welcomed her first child with boyfriend Zayn Malik two weeks ago.
The 25-year-old gave birth to a baby girl who she is “so in love” with, as she said upon making the birth of the newborn public knowledge on Instagram.

A fortnight after welcoming her baby girl, Gigi is already an “amazing mum”, according to E! News.

“The first couple of weeks have been a hard transition but she hasn’t complained and is very elated to be a mom,” a source told the publication.
To help with the transition, her mother, Yolanda Hadid, and younger sister, Bella Hadid, have been on hand to assist the new mum.
Yolanda has been helping Gigi and Zayn and has basically become a “built-in nurse”, which the new parents are “so grateful” for.

Meanwhile, Bella has already taken to the role of being a doting auntie and has been “having fun shopping for her and dressing her up”.
As for the name of baby Hadid-Malik, which has been kept private by the couple, is “unique” but the alleged source wouldn’t give anything else away.
Gigi’s pregnancy was first reported on back in April. The model first spoke of her pregnancy – news which was revealed in the press and not by Gigi or Zayn – during a video call appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, admitting they would have liked to reveal the news on their “own terms”, but also thanked everyone for their congratulations.
“Obviously, we wish we could’ve announced it on our own terms, but we’re very excited and happy and grateful for everyone’s well wishes and support,” she said.
Zayn and Gigi originally started dating in 2016, and have been on-and-off ever since, with their latest split taking place in mid-2019. However, the pair reunited earlier this year, but have been keeping their romance away from the public glare.
