When social media raved about Rihanna’s new film feature, not a few people were pleasantly delighted and that includes us. The business mogul who has cut her teeth in fashion, beauty, acting and music was rumoured to be a part of the Black Panther history. It all started when her name appeared as part of the cast in the Marvel sequel on Google searches. let’s just say that it was all there is to it- a speculation. Despite the excitement over the rumour, neither Marvel nor Rihanna’s team officially debunked it. Guess we have to take everything we see (in the supposed cast list) with a pinch of Fenty eyeshadow.

Elon Musk is now the second richest person in the world as he has knocked off Bill Gates off the second spot. Telsa’s CEO Elon has accumulated an impressive $127.9bn (£95.8bn) to his name which saw him take the title of “second richest man in the world.” He is now behind Amazon boss Jeff Bezos who is the richest man in the world with $182bn (£136bn). Some days ago, the space engineer was $8billion (£6bn) away from outgrowing Bill Gates. However, the percentage rise in Tesla’s shares changed everything as it gave him the $7.2bn bumper he needed.

Sad memories

The Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle revealed that she suffered a miscarriage in July this year. Markle, who is married to British Prince Harry wrote in “The New York Times” that she had just changed her son’s diaper when she felt a sharp cramp and fell to the ground. “I knew, as I clutched my firstborn child, that I was losing my second,” Markle wrote. Writing of the “unbearable grief” of miscarrying a child, Markle said it was a conversation that remained “taboo, riddled with (unwarranted) shame, and perpetuating a cycle of solitary mourning.” This article attracted sympathy, especially from women who shared their experiences about their miscarriages.
