    Critics accuse the British administration of running “government by WhatsApp” due to the popularity of the messaging app with politicians and officials. So it feels inevitable that a tussle over WhatsApp messages is at the heart of Britain’s official inquiry into how the country handled the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Conservative government is now led by Prime Minister Rishi Sunak. It wants to be able to edit the messages before handing them over. The government says some are personal and irrelevant to the inquiry.

          Erykah Badu has occupied the role of culture shifter and influencer for more than 25 years, and now the iconic artist is using her cultural cache for new creative projects and expansion. The four-time Grammy winner released a 42-piece capsule collection with Italian fashion house Marni last month. She has also entered the cannabis industry with That Badu, partnering with Cookies, one of the world’s most recognizable legal marijuana brands.
