Durov and Snoop Dogg trade jabs over Telegram CEO's 106 kids
Durov told French newspaper Le Point last month that he is the official father of six children with three different partners, but that he has also over 100 other kids in 12 countries through sperm donations.
Snoop Dogg, himself a father of four, addressed the Telegram CEO in a post on X on Monday, writing: 'Yo, Pave Durov, heard U got 106 kids now??'
'Neffew you not havn babies you droppn litters... slo down,' the musician advised, including a cat and dog emojis and the #PuppyLove hashtag in his post.
@snoopdogg takes a dogg to know a dogg, I can give you some tips 😉 best discussed where privacy is king. I'll hit you on TG.
Durov replied a few hours later, writing that it 'takes a dogg to know a dogg, I can give you some tips.'
However, the tech billionaire suggested that X, which is owned by Elon Musk, was not the proper platform to address the topic.
'Best discussed where privacy is king. I'll hit you on TG [Telegram],' he told Snoop.
In the same interview with Le Point in mid-June, Durov announced that he plans to leave his fortune to his numerous children. However, the 40-year-old clarified that they will not have access to their inheritance until 30 years from now.
Forbes estimates the wealth of the Russian-born Telegram CEO at $17.1 billion, making him the 134th richest person in the world.

Zuckerberg unveils new ‘superintelligence laboratory'
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has announced the formation of Meta Superintelligence Labs (MSL), a new division dedicated to building AI systems that surpass human capabilities. The initiative, unveiled on Monday, brings together Meta's core AI research and product teams under one banner, with the stated goal of delivering 'personal superintelligence for everyone.' Leading the new lab is Alexandr Wang, the 28-year-old founder of Scale AI, who joins Meta as Chief AI Officer following the company's reported $14 billion investment in his data-labeling firm. He is joined by Nat Friedman, former GitHub CEO, and a team of senior AI engineers from OpenAI, DeepMind and Anthropic. 'As the pace of AI progress accelerates, developing superintelligence is coming into sight. I believe this will be the beginning of a new era for humanity, and I am fully committed to doing what it takes for Meta to lead the way,' Zuckerberg wrote in an internal memo, describing the move as a historic turning point. The launch of MSL comes amid growing competition among US tech giants and intensifying rivalry with China. In January, Western tech developers and investors were rocked by the rise of Chinese AI startup DeepSeek, which claimed its product was superior to OpenAI's ChatGPT in key operational cost metrics. Earlier this year, President Donald Trump unveiled a $500 billion Stargate initiative –a sweeping federal strategy to secure US leadership in superintelligent AI. The program includes incentives for private-sector research, export controls on advanced chips, and direct collaboration between US firms and defense agencies. Trump's allies described AI as 'the Manhattan Project of our generation,' insisting that the 'future of human civilization' must be led by the United States. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman promised that his company was committed to helping the US government safeguard 'America's lead in AI' for the sake of protecting 'democratic values.' Meta reportedly seeks to regain ground lost to OpenAI and Google DeepMind in recent years. MSL will integrate Meta's existing AI models, including Llama 4.1 and 4.2, into broader research spanning language, vision, speech, and video understanding. The company aims to apply its computing scale –including its massive GPU clusters –to train next-generation AI systems, with Zuckerberg claiming that 'Meta is uniquely positioned to deliver superintelligence to the world.'

Durov and Snoop Dogg trade jabs over Telegram CEO's 106 kids
Veteran American rapper Snoop Dogg has slammed Pavel Durov for fathering more than 100 children, claiming that the Telegram founder and CEO was 'dropping litters' rather than making babies. Durov told French newspaper Le Point last month that he is the official father of six children with three different partners, but that he has also over 100 other kids in 12 countries through sperm donations.

Trump says he'll ‘take a look' at deporting Elon Musk
US President Donald Trump has said that he might entertain the idea of deporting Elon Musk and could consider getting the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to look into the billionaire's government contracts. The president's comments come amid a very public falling out between him and Musk, who was until recently one of Trump's staunchest supporters. Last month, Musk stepped down as the head of DOGE after heavily criticizing Trump's 'big, beautiful' budget bill, which includes a $5 trillion debt ceiling increase. Speaking to reporters on Tuesday, Trump was asked if he would look at deporting Elon Musk - a naturalized US citizen - to his native South Africa, to which the president replied: 'I don't know, we'll have to take a look.' 'We might have to put DOGE on Elon,' the president added, noting that 'DOGE is the monster that might have to go back and eat Elon.' Trump further pointed out that Musk had been getting a 'lot of subsidies.' DETAILS TO FOLLOW
