Things are feeling kind of heavy right now, and let's face it, most of us could do with an escape. While a lot of people have a lot of negative thoughts on social media, sometimes it's nice to be able to distract ourselves with dumb memes and viral videos. That's not to suggest we shouldn't stay informed about the events going on around us, but occasionally, it's necessary to switch off from the round-the-clock doom. On that note, check out the latest dose of We Are: The Guard's 10 Twitter Moments, featuring Nicki Minaj, Rihanna, The Weeknd, and more!

NICKI MINAJ REMINDS THE BARBS SHE ISN'T THE QUEEN OF ENGLAND

Not the Barbs thinking it was Nicki Minaj instead of Queen Elizabeth getting COVID-19? I'M SCREAMINGGG! I mean – Nicki does a damn good English accent, don't get me wrong. LMAOOO! Anyways, between The Actual Queen and Justin Bieber testing positive on the same day, can we finally admit this pandemic is far from over?

 

RIHANNA KEEPS THE PREGNANCY CONTENT COMING

It's the way Rihanna has become a Twitter Queen ever since announcing her pregnancy for me? I swear RiRi hasn't posted this much on social media in years! Keep it coming, I say! Oh, and while we're here, can we talk about the fact Rihanna and A$AP Rocky had the cutest Valentine's Day of all time? I WANT A BOUQUET OF LEGO FLOWERS!

 

THE WEEKND'S PARENTS SENT HIM THE MOST ADORABLE BIRTHDAY MESSAGE

MY FEELINGS!

 

RINA SAWAYAMA JOINS FELLOW ICONS AT NEW YORK FASHION WEEK

Between collaborating with Charli XCX on "Beg for You" and selling out Terminal 5, Rina Sawayama is really out here living her best life. And I haven't even mentioned her appearance at New York Fashion Week! How many icons can you fit into one photo? Tag yourself – I'm the girl giving the thumbs-up behind Megan Thee Stallion. LMAOOO!

 

JACK HARLOW GOT SHOUTED OUT BY KANYE WEST ON INSTAGRAM

He recently tweeted no one in his generation can fuck with him, and honestly? I have to agree with Jack Harlow after listening to "Nail Tech." That shit goes hard, and apparently even Kanye West agrees! No matter what you think of Mr. West, you can't deny it doesn't get much higher praise than this! GO OFF, JACK!

 

CHARLI XCX IS SELLING SOME INTERESTING MERCH THIS CRASH ERA

AND I OOP…

 

DOJA CAT IS A MICHELIN STAR CHEF NOW

Firstly, as delicious as this dish looks, this photo definitely needs to come with a trypophobia trigger warning! Secondly, this is a considerable step up from Taco Bell's Mexican Pizza? Thirdly, is there anything Doja Cat can't do at this point? Singing, dancing, cooking? She's a whole-ass triple threat! CHEF ERA, HERE WE COME!

 

CARDI B IS LOOKING PRETTY IN PINK

Cardi B really said: "BITCH, I'M A MOTHER! NO DRAMA!" Jokes aside – I'm very much here for Cardi, Rihanna, and the like making motherhood sexy again! Women are reclaiming their power, and I love, love, love to see it! P.S. Can someone tell me where I can get hold of this adorable pink two-piece? I NEED IT!

 

MARIAH CAREY'S KIDS INTERRUPT HER ZOOM CALL

LMAOOO! Mariah Carey is one of the biggest divas in music, but I love the fact her kids still treat her like every other human being on the planet! Seriously, though – why do children insist on asking the most random questions at the most inappropriate times? Ha! Oh, and I'm going to assume that conference call means MC16 is coming!

 

FLORENCE AND THE MACHINE IS COMING FOR HER CROWN

SHE! IS! BACK!
