As of today, the charges were dropped because the District Attorney's Office couldn't get the 70-year-old victim to testify on time. King shouldn't celebrate though because the Fulton Count D.A. plans to refile the charges. Got music block? A new Facebook Messenger bot can help. Apple recently rolled out an Apple Music Messenger Bot that allows users to find new music with their favorite emojis. The user simply types in an emoji and music playlists, albums and/or artists that match up to that emoji will be sent back to you. This is very interesting. The Internet will definitely win with this. There will be several silly screenshots of emoji playlist returns and I'm here for it.
Will the praying hands emoji return a Lecrae playlist? How about smoke emoji returning a Snoop Dog playlist? Better yet, will the "girl looking in the mirror" return Migos "Bad and Boujee".
