Kanye West's Instagram account has been suspended for 24 hours after he made a racial slur in reference to comedian Trevor Noah. After saying Kanye's behaviors against his ex-wife Kim Kardashian were "terrifying," the rapper made a post about him.

The former Empire actress, 39, was sentenced to 150 days in prison last week after being found guilty of lying to police. His lawyers filed an appeal after he was sentenced. Smollett has always maintained that the hoax incident in Chicago in 2019 was genuine. Prior to his release, he had to sign a $150,000 (£114,000) recognizance bail and made no statement as he walked out of the Cook County jail, flanked by security. According to CBS News, Smollett's defense team said they were "very, very thrilled" with the appeal courts' decision and that he was the victim of a racist justice system.
