"The Heart Part 5" uses an easily identifiable sample of Marvin Gaye's "I Want You" single. Similar to the classic song, the lyrics from @kendricklamar's track allude to giving love and wanting it to be reciprocated, too. 📷: Getty (2/7)
@kendricklamar dedicates his second verse on "The Heart Part 5" to speaking from the perspectives of O.J. Simpson, Kanye West, and Jussie Smollett, who all have histories that are rife with controversy. 📷: Getty (3/7)
.@kendricklamar's use of Will Smith's deepfake matches up to lyrics that allude to the motive behind the actor slapping Chris Rock at the 2022 #Oscars. 📷: Getty (4/7)
"Reflectin' on my life and what I done / Paid dues, made rules, change outta love," @kendricklamar raps as a nod to @kobebryant's outstanding @NBA achievements and contributions to the sports world. 🏀 📷: Getty (5/7)
The majority of the third verse is a tribute to @NipseyHussle, his entrepreneurial spirit, and his legacy as a community leader. Hussle's deepfake addresses the late rapper's killer, leaves messages to his fans and family, and expresses what he meant to the world. 📷: Getty (6/7)

There are many questions regarding a post-Roe v. Wade world. A viral tweet from @ECMcLaughlin warned of companies selling "data showing when you last menstruated." We decided to fact-check whether you should be wary about having a period-tracker app.(1/11) popsugar.com/fitness/period…
@ECMcLaughlin Should people delete their period-tracking apps? Potentially. It depends on several factors, including if you live in a state where abortion may become illegal, if you use a period-tracking app to regularly monitor your cycle, and if you've had an abortion. 📷: Getty (2/11) Image
If all rings true, "It's possible your period-tracking apps data could be subpoenaed, and therefore used against you in court," says Marco Bellin, a data-security expert and the founder and CEO of Datacappy VPN. (3/11)
