The 2024 Video Music Awards just got hotter with its latest announcement.

On Thursday morning (Aug. 22), Megan Thee Stallion was named the host of the ceremony. While it will be the “Hot Girl” performer’s first time emceeing a major award show, she is no stranger to commanding the mic outside of rap.

She previously co-hosted Saturday Night Live and landed acting roles in the television series She-Hulk: Attorney At Law, and the film D**ks: The Musical.

“Music’s most iconic night has found the most iconic host,” announced a voiceover clip uploaded to the award show Instagram the rapper’s trending “Mamushi” plays in the background. “Megan Thee Stallion is bringing the heat, the body, and all the savagery and now she’s bringing ‘Hot Girl…

A clip of Michelle Obama’s speech to the Democratic National Convention is being shared on social media with altered audio.

In the video, which is circulating on X (formerly Twitter) and Facebook, the former First Lady can be seen speaking at the Chicago event on 21 August.

In the footage, Mrs Obama appears to say: “For years, Donald Trump did everything in his power to try to make people fear us. 

“See his limited, narrow view of the world made him feel threatened by the existence of two hardworking, highly educated, successful gay men who happen to be black.”

A caption also being shared with the clip says: “Did Michelle Obama just say what I think she said?”

But the video has been edited, and Mrs Obama made no reference to gay men in her speech.

A video circulating on social media appears to show Democratic presidential candidate and current US Vice President, Kamala Harris, with her running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, posing for a selfie in front of a Revolutionary Communists of America poster. 

But the sign has been digitally altered. The original footage shows it actually referenced Mr Walz’s past role as a high school football coach during his career as a school teacher. 

Several media reports and photographs from an event on 9 August in Phoenix, Arizona, show Ms Harris and Mr Walz in front of two posters. The larger one has a brown background and says “Kamala and the Coach”. The other is smaller and reads: “Democrats protect abortion”.

Footage widely shared on social media shows a massive fireball erupting over a Russian airbase, reportedly hosting tactical and strategic bombers, including Su-24 Combat Jets.

A fire broke out at the Marinovka military airfield in the southwestern Volgograd region after Ukrainian forces fired a barrage of drone strikes as Kyiv continues its Kursk offensive.

Multiple explosions were reported at Marinovka, a Russian Aerospace Forces air base in the village of Oktyabrsky in the Kalachevsky district.

A video which appears to show prison officers gathered around a person with blood visible on the floor seen millions of times on X (formerly Twitter) wrongly claims to show a “recently imprisoned rioter” “severely slashed up in Strange Ways prison [sic]”. 

The caption shared alongside the clip goes on to ask “why would judges send them to a Class A prison for tweeting or assault” and adds: “Blood is on the Prime Minister’s hands if this is true.”

Versions of this post, using the same clip and text, have also been shared on Facebook.

But there is no indication that anyone involved in the video had anything to do with the recent violent disorder seen across England and Northern Ireland. 

A prison service spokesperson told Full Fact: “It is inaccurate…
