Maxim didn't want to be seen as "cashing in" on someone's death.

Rapper Kevin Gates has shocked the internet after posting an extremely graphic childbirth video on his Instagram Stories. On Sunday, May 8th, the 37-year-old '2 Phones' singer shared a video of a seemingly random woman giving birth from a standing position. Gates captioned the video with: "The most beautiful thing on earth is the gift of life [folded hands emoji] [heart hands emoji]." Fans of the star immediately thought that it was Gates's wife Dreka Haynes, who he has two children with, in the video except it wasn't.

The caption for the video states: "In celebration of black maternal health week, Kendra is sharing her birth video and she offers this wisdom from this amazing birth experience." However, despite it not being Gates's other half people were still shocked to see such graphic content on Instagram and urged others not to go and look at it, which they naturally did. Twitch star Kai Cenat also looked at the story while on a live stream, as did rapper Kendrick Lamar who liked a meme about the poster on Twitter. Back in 2013, Gates expressed how much he loves his own children but was keen to shield them from the public. He told Complex: "I lay in the bed with them [my children], hold them, love on them. It really doesn't make sense to say [how many kids I have]. Not in a bad way, but it’s not like the public will ever get to see my children, and if they do see them, they aren't going to know they’re mine. Later on, maybe, I get to the point where I share it with the world." Have your say in our news democracy.

Taylor Swift fans were sent into overdrive after a clip surfaced online of the star kissing Travis Kelce. The new footage shows Swift waving at fans after her Argentina show before spotting her boyfriend in the crowd. She runs over to the NFL player, before hugging and kissing him. The crowd then erupts into cheers. The wholesome clip was soon shared to X/Twitter, with one writing: "The way she ran into his arms, you can tell she’s really in love." Another added: "She looks really happy, love that for her!" Meanwhile, one fan tweeted: "All of Taylor’s ex crying rn cause she’s never been this publicly in love with any of them before." Swift has been known to show her support at Kelce's games, too – and stats suggest she could very well be his lucky charm. During the Kansas City Chiefs' win over the Los Angeles Chargers last month, the broadcaster CBS shared a graphic titled 'You belong with TE,' referencing Swift's song 'You Belong With Me'. It then suggested that Kelce averaged 99 receiving yards per game, with it bumping up to 108 following Sunday's game. They then showed a separate post when Swift isn't in attendance at Kelce's game when he's "left to his own devices" – a reference to 'Anti-Hero' – with just 46.5 yards per game. It didn't take long for fans to catch onto the tongue-in-cheek remarks, with one writing: "Safe to say Taylor and Travis belong together." Another wrote: "The entire graphic, compliments to whoever cooked it up."
