Kanye West also known as Ye is making headlines again for his highly watched visit to the Simon Wiesenthal Center in Beverly Hills.

The rapper spent around 90 minutes inside the Jewish human rights organisation on Monday evening, keeping a low profile as he exited without addressing questions, heading straight to his car. 

While details of the visit remain private, the setting itself has drawn attention given the backlash he has faced over past antisemitic remarks.

In recent months, Ye has publicly attempted to reset the narrative. 

Earlier this year, he issued a lengthy apology, acknowledging he had “lost touch with reality” and expressing regret over his comments that he is committed to accountability and change.

The visit comes at a time when his professional schedule has taken several hits. 

A number of performances have been disrupted, including a planned show in Marseille being postponed indefinitely, while other appearances have faced complications following controversy surrounding his past statements. 

His removal from major festival line-ups and restrictions in certain regions have also added to the challenges surrounding his return to the stage.

A concert in India is expected to mark his first performance in the country as it remains on the calendar, with fans closely watching.

Meta-owned WhatsApp is working on a new feature that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to summarise unread messages, so users don’t have to scroll through endless group chats and one-on-one conversations.

The Meta-owned messaging and video calling platform said that it announced a feature that lets users summarise multiple unread chats.

This feature will allow users to catch up on multiple conversations more efficiently without opening them separately, it added. 

According to WABetaInfo, chats will be summarised by the artificial intelligence. It emphasised that the process is secure, and messages will remain private through private processing. This means that Meta can not access the messages during the process.

Once development is complete, the feature will be rolled out to select beta testers.

America’s aviation has been hit by catastrophic conditions on Tuesday, April 21, as three simultaneous crises hit the nation.

The primary reasons for the collapse include TSA staffing collapse, Iran-war fuel shock, and weather restrictions.

As per live FlightAware data, total delays worldwide reached 8,845 on Tuesday, with 675 delays occurring within, into, or out of the United States.

The total number of cancellations worldwide was 421, of which 28 occurred in or affected flights departing from US airports.

San Francisco International Airport became the epicenter of the disaster, with 475 delays and 69 cancellations following the FAA’s issuance of weather-related flight restrictions. Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta, Boston Logan, and JFK International were the next most affected airports.
