    Cardi B Discusses Including ‘WAP’ and ‘Up’ on New Album

    Rapper says fan demand and legacy tracks deserve a spot

    Cardi B is clapping back at critics questioning her decision to include past hits “WAP” and “Up” on her upcoming album Am I the Drama?, set to feature 23 tracks.

    The Grammy-winning rapper took to social platform X to explain her choice, emphasizing that both singles, released in 2020 and 2021, are among her biggest hits. “This will be the last and only time I’m gonna address this,” Cardi wrote. “These songs deserve a home… my fans have been asking for this for years.”

    She added that fan demand and continued search popularity on platforms like IOP drove her to finally include the tracks, even if they won’t contribute to first-week album sales. “I let haters make me not submit ‘WAP’ for the Grammys,” she said. “Now I’m doing it for the fans.”

    Cardi’s bold response highlighted the double standards in the industry. “Do ya say anything when other artists pull out all their little tricks to sell out?” she asked.

    Am I the Drama? marks Cardi B’s long-awaited second studio album, officially announced earlier this week.

    Tyler, The Creator Slams Podcast Culture and Calls for Its Ban

    The rapper criticizes the rise of “loud and incorrect” voices, calling the medium “gross”

    Tyler, The Creator is once again making waves with his outspoken views—this time targeting podcast culture. In a recent interview with The Cut, the Grammy-winning artist doubled down on his longstanding disdain for the popular audio format, saying, “I think we give a lot of people who aren’t smart and just want attention platforms to be loud and incorrect, and other stupid people follow them.”

    The Odd Future founder criticized the growing number of people using podcasts to gain influence without offering value. “Everybody with a mic is crazy. I just think that shit is gross,” he added, calling instead for society to uplift skilled professionals like electricians, painters, and teachers.

    While Tyler did acknowledge enjoying a select few podcasts—specifically naming Deante Kyle and The Cutting Room Floor—he made it clear that most do not meet his standards.

    His disdain isn’t new. Last year, he joked that if he were president, his first move would be to “take podcast mics away from n-ggas.”

    Tyler also took issue with white rappers parodying hip-hop, referencing an unnamed artist believed to be Ian. “This is like weird… it don’t even sit well with me,” he said.

    Atlanta rap sensation Lil Baby has voiced his frustration on social media after more of his unreleased music surfaced online. The rapper took to X (formerly Twitter), writing, “Damn yall just gone keep leaking my songs!!”, expressing clear annoyance at the ongoing issue.

    Lil Baby, born Dominique Jones, previously hinted that this album would explore a more personal and introspective side of his life—signaling a potential shift in tone from his earlier work. With Dominique being named after his real first name, many speculated that the album would offer a deeper glimpse into the rapper’s upbringing, struggles, and growth.

    Despite the delays and unauthorized leaks, fans remain excited, though the leaks may further complicate plans for a proper rollout. As of now, there is no confirmed release date for Dominique, but the rapper’s comments make it clear that the leaks are both frustrating and potentially disruptive.

    Nicki Minaj Suggests Roc Nation Behind Conspiracy Against Her

    Nicki echoes explosive claims by CEO’s daughter in ongoing controversy

    Nicki Minaj has ignited fresh controversy after sharing a viral interview with Demoree Hadley, the estranged daughter of Roc Nation CEO Desiree Perez, in which Hadley accuses the entertainment powerhouse of targeting Minaj and abusing its influence.

    Hadley, who is currently suing her mother, alleged in the interview that Roc Nation “attacked” Minaj’s family, husband, and child, and that the label is guilty of silencing and smearing outspoken artists. “If it’s happening to me, it’s happening to her,” Hadley said. “Nobody is safe right now.”

    Minaj amplified the claims by reposting the interview and addressing critics directly on X: “NEVER call me a liar… Every single angel ever created fights for me at the mere MENTION of that word… No one who conspired on the wrong side will go unpunished.”

    The “Red Ruby Da Sleeze” rapper has long voiced frustration with Roc Nation, alleging a sustained effort to damage her career and divide her fanbase. Roc Nation has yet to comment publicly on the accusations, while Perez has responded to her daughter’s lawsuit with a countersuit of her own.

    The public fallout continues to unfold amid growing scrutiny of the label’s internal dynamics.

    Cardi B Unleashes Sophomore Album Announcement After Seven-Year Wait

    ‘Am I the Drama?’ set for September release with fiery visuals and bold words

    After a seven-year hiatus since her Grammy-winning debut Invasion of Privacy, Cardi B has officially announced her long-anticipated second album, Am I the Drama?, set for release on September 19.

    The Bronx rapper revealed the album’s striking cover art, which features her clad in a dramatic red gown, flanked by two crows—symbolizing transformation and perhaps, vengeance. In a passionate Instagram video accompanying the reveal, Cardi reflects on her journey, declaring, “Seven years of love, light and loss… I’m not your villain, I’m your karma.”

    The rapper previously expressed frustration over pending guest features delaying the project, urging fellow artists on X Spaces to contribute, saying, “I’ll sing this s–t myself! But I really need y’all.”

    The first single from the album, “Outside,” dropped last Friday and immediately sparked conversation for its fiery lyrics aimed at estranged husband Offset, whom she is currently divorcing. Cardi also makes a bold nod to new beau, NFL star Stefon Diggs, with unfiltered braggadocio.

    Offset has yet to comment publicly on the diss-laden track, though he released his own new song, “Bodies,” featuring JID—conspicuously absent of any response.

  • Pras Michel’s Potential Presidential Pardon Considered by Donald Trump

    Pras Michel’s Potential Presidential Pardon Considered by Donald Trump

    Fugees Member Faces 22-Year Sentence for Corruption Charges, but Trump Might Intervene

    Pras Michel, the legendary member of the Fugees, could soon receive a presidential pardon from Donald Trump after being convicted of corruption charges related to a multi-billion-dollar fraud scheme. The rapper is facing up to 22 years in prison for his involvement in the conspiracy, which reportedly included foreign powers, bankers, and even actor Leonardo DiCaprio. While Trump has not publicly commented on the case, Pras’ publicist confirmed that the rapper’s legal team is exploring all options, remaining optimistic about a potential resolution.

    The relationship between Pras and Trump goes back nearly 30 years. Trump, before his presidency, appeared on Pras’ debut album Ghetto Supastar, leaving a voicemail message encouraging Pras’ success. This long-standing connection could play a role in the rapper’s hope for a pardon.

    Pras was convicted of failing to register as an agent of China, among other charges, and faces additional financial penalties from the U.S. government, including a $65 million judgment linked to his alleged involvement in illegal schemes. Meanwhile, Pras has distanced himself from the Fugees, suing bandmate Lauryn Hill over their failed reunion tour and being unable to join a European tour due to his ongoing legal issues.

    Producer Calls Abel’s Latest Album “Album of the Year” and Lauds Mike Dean’s Contributions

    Metro Boomin had nothing but high praise for The Weeknd and legendary producer Mike Dean after the release of Hurry Up Tomorrow, the Canadian singer’s latest and potentially final album. Following its midnight drop on January 31, Metro took to social media to express his admiration.

    “Only this n-gga Abel could drop album of the year in January lmao,” Metro wrote on X, celebrating the album’s impact. He continued, giving a shout-out to Mike Dean, who played a massive role in the project’s production. “Mike Dean sitting high on that all-time producer/composer list for sure,” he added.

    Dean mixed, mastered, and co-produced nearly all of the 24 tracks on the album, while Metro contributed production to several key songs, including “Cry For Me,” “Given Up On Me,” and “The Abyss.”

    The 22-track album serves as the final chapter of The Weeknd’s trilogy, following After Hours (2020) and Dawn FM (2022). It’s also billed as The Weeknd’s potential swan song, with the closing track seamlessly transitioning into “High For This” from his debut mixtape, bringing his career full circle. Fans have celebrated the clever sonic easter egg, with many calling the album’s ending an emotional tie to his early work.

  • Chris Brown Freed from UK Jail, Backed by Justin Bieber and 50 Cent

    Chris Brown Freed from UK Jail, Backed by Justin Bieber and 50 Cent

    Judge grants release after $7M bail as singer awaits trial

    Chris Brown has been released from jail in the UK following a week in custody, with music stars Justin Bieber and 50 Cent showing public support. Brown was arrested in Manchester and charged with grievous bodily harm with intent over a 2023 nightclub incident involving producer Abe Diaw.

    Initially denied bail, the R&B singer was remanded until June 13, just days before his Breezy Bowl tour kicks off in the same city. However, a judge reversed the decision, setting Brown free after he posted nearly $7 million in bail. His release comes with strict conditions: he must reside in the UK until trial, surrender his passport, and comply with travel restrictions — although he’s allowed to tour internationally.

    Following his release, Brown shared an Instagram photo from the airport. Justin Bieber commented, “Welcome home,” while 50 Cent posted, “CB out, he made bond… I think he is the best overall artist out.”

    Prosecutors allege Brown struck Diaw with a tequila bottle and stomped on him, leaving lasting injuries. CCTV footage of the incident is part of the case. Brown has denied the allegations, while a civil lawsuit filed by Diaw remains ongoing.
