Or he puts his ruling in on reports that have higher stakes, like discounting the idea that there’s now friction between himself and Meek Mill after the latter left Roc Nation management. Sometimes it may be something lighthearted, like the nearly year-old viral moment of him reacting to his friend Kelly Rowland showing up on the red carpet for his The Harder They Fall movie premiere. It’s a reminder that as far removed from the mortal concerns of social media as he may seem, everything gets back to him.
