Microsoft is hit by a major outage that has crippled its 365 products for thousands of users.

The outage affected business communities widely.

Reports of technical failures began coming in early afternoon on Thursday, January 22, impacting core productivity platforms such as Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft 365, and Microsoft Teams.

The DownDetector confirmed over 45,000 reports were recorded for Microsoft 365 and around 40,000 for Outlook.

This hindered sending or receiving emails, accessing files, or joining team meetings.

The outage is confirmed by Microsoft officials.

The company’s 365 X (formerly Twitter) account stated that investigators “identified a portion of service infrastructure in North America that is not processing traffic as expected.”

Officials added that the team is working to restore the infrastructure to recover the service traffic.

Prior to one day, users experienced a similar outage that was attributed to a third-party networking issue.

As of now, Microsoft support teams are working to resolve the issue for the affected systems; however, a specific timeline has not been provided yet.

Microsoft advises its customers that updates are available on its official Cloud status webpage.

Drake is now furious as he fighting back after a court threw out his defamation case against Universal Music Group.

The 39-year-old rapper filed an appeal officially on January 21 in U.S. Court of Appeals while showing that he isn’t ready to give up just yet on the heated high-profile lawsuit over Kendrick Lamar’s diss track Not Like Us.

The case dramatically started in January 2025 where he said that the song hurt his reputation because it called him a “certified pedophile.”

However, Drake also argued that Universal’s promotion of that track made things even worse but now Kendrick is not part of the lawsuit.

A federal judge dismissed the case in October 2025, claiming that the lyrics were opinions, not facts.

Drake’s team disagreed to judge’s conclusion as they went on to add that the song presented its words as clear facts and that it misled fans through its marketing while causing even more damage.

For the unversed, Drake first filed a notice of appeal in November 2025, officially starting the process.

Moreover, the never-ending case which has been sparking buzz for so long now continued to draw a lot of attention in the music world.

All of Drake and Kendrick’s fans and industry insiders are now talking about where the thin line is.
