What’s hot on the social scene? We have the inside of all the happenings over the weekend, courtesy of this week’s 'Twas Trending. 

Strictly 2K 

It was a blast from the past when many turned out at the National Stadium in Kingston for the second staging of Strictly 2K. Patrons danced to the hits from the early 2000s. #strictly2k trended on Friday night and went on to play as a throwback on Saturday. 

Ding Dong 

An uproar ensued on social media after a video surfaced of dance hall artist Ding Dong, appearing to dodge a hug from a young male fan. Many took to Facebook to share their concerns. The boy was just a young fan seeking a hug from his idol. Imagine how he feels. So because of the rejection shown, some individuals have decided to consequently 'dodge' Ding Dong for his actions. 

No Rating for Rankin 

Magnum Kings and Queen of Dance hall closed off the season last Saturday with a bang as they announced the winner of the deejay competition. With everyone in ‘Suspense’, the question on everyone’s mind was: will Rankin Pumpkin really win? In the end, talent, as many put it, prevailed and Suspense was crowned the queen of dancehall. 
 

Styleweek Fashion Block 

All roads led to the heart of New Kingston last Sunday night for one of the highly anticipated fashion events of the year - Styleweek Fashion Block. Attendees turned out in fine fashion and were treated to over 15 lines from established as well as upcoming designers. 

Prince William talks about mom 

On the international scene, on the heels of Mother’s Day, British GQ released an interview with Prince William. In it, he speaks about missing his mother, and expressing sadness about her not meeting his wife and their children. An outpouring of likes and comments followed, with many noting that his mother, the late Princess Diana, would have been proud. 

Grande gesture 

Pop star Ariana Grande responded to fans on Friday, after the bombing at her concert in Manchester, United Kingdom recently. In her address, she said she plans to not only return to Manchester, but to host a benefit concert in honour of the victims and families affected by the tragic event. Fans are loving her even more for this ‘Grande’ gesture.
