Cardi B Fans Need To “Gear Up” For What She Has Coming Next

by

Cardi B isn’t your average 31-year-old. For starters, the New York native turned her career as a stripper into one as a Grammy Award-winning rap diva. Her debut album, Invasion of Privacy, beat Travis Scott’s ASTROWORLD at the ceremony in 2019, but she’s failed to give us a sophomore effort since. Hip-hop heads are eager to hear what Cardi’s been working so hard on over the past few years, especially knowing how many ups and downs she and her husband Offset have faced since then. The pair’s drama largely inspired her 2018 LP, and neither she nor the Migos alum seems opposed to turning their pain into art.

The latest releases to come from the Hustlers actress include her “Punteria” collaboration with Shakira as well as “Enough (Miami)” and “Like What (Freestyle).” In 2023, we heard from Cardi on “Bongos” with Megan Thee Stallion and as a feature on her man’s “JEALOUSY” single. Now, it looks like more could be coming from the black-haired beauty, based on her recent Twitter activity.

What Is Cardi B Working On?

On Wednesday (April 17), the “Bodak Yellow” hitmaker hopped on Twitter/X to share a message that has our attention. “Gear up,” she simply wrote, potentially addressing both the Bardi Gang and her competition. Cardi’s spoken candidly about feeling insecure about releasing her sophomore LP, but with legends like Missy Elliott backing her, we’re sure that millions will tune in to hear how her sound has evolved (and if it’s worthy of another Grammy).

Besides hinting at something big coming from her recent studio sessions, Cardi B has also been chatting with fans about how she keeps her bodacious body on point. Though she’s been open about past cosmetic surgeries, it’s still important for the mother of two to exercise and eat nutritious foods that fuel her up for balancing motherhood and superstardom. Read Cardi’s unexpected weight gain tricks at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Cardi B has been going through it lately. During a recent Instagram Live broadcast (as HotNewHipHop notes), Cardi explained she has been dealing with a stomach issue, which for a week has made it tough for her to keep food down. Consequently, she has lost some weight, but she’s looking to gain it back.

Cardi said, “Until I gain weight back, I’m not going out, because I do not like how my body look. I look too f*cking skinny and I don’t like it. When I look too skinny, I don’t feel like pants look good on me, or skirts, or small little dresses.”

She went on to lay out her plan for gaining weight:

“I weigh 130 pounds right now. I was at 137, I’m at like 130, and sometimes I’ve been at 128. That’s bad for me. I do not like being that skinny. So until I get my weight back, I’m not going outside, I’m not f*cking doing content, I’m not putting on no outfit ’cause I feel like I look too f*cking skinny. I need to eat and I need some dick. Because, you know, dick helps you gain weight. I don’t know, it’s just a science.”

by

Cardi B and Pardison Fontaine have been linked to each other for quite a few years. Both rappers have worked extensively together, with the latter helping the femcee write some of most recognizable hits. Some of those include “WAP” with Megan Thee Stallion, “Money,” “Up,” and even “Bodak Yellow.” Pardi has also been quoted numerous times, praising the gritty New York hitmaker. “Cardi’s a genius, period – on so many levels. I say this all the time. She would’ve been a star no matter what she chose to do,” Fontaine said.

“She would have been a star. That’s what she is. She really pioneered a lot of the energy that you see on the internet right now.” With the two artists having so much mutual respect for one another, it was no surprise to see them in the recording booth recently. A clip shared by Live Bitez and from what appeared to be an Instagram live, Cardi and Pardi were laughing it up and joking around with each other.

But internet trolls in the comments section always having negative to say even when it comes to wholesome moments like this. Fans were making jokes that Pardi is writing another hit for Cardi, “A song he wrote… duh,” one person wrote. Another was even going as far as to call out the femcee for working with Megan Thee Stallion’s ex. “Wait how u working with your friends opps,” she asked. What comes out of these sessions remains to be seen, but we just hope its fire.

How Many Kids Does Cardi B Have?

by

Cardi B officially announced her split with Migos rapper Offset back in December. Even though they ended their marriage, they continue co-parenting a pair of young children, born in 2018 and 2021 respectively. While the children aren’t exactly old enough to be making their own waves in the world of pop culture, the former Hollywood power couple have not shied away from sharing their kids with the world. Both Cardi B and Offset’s shared kids have even appeared in the 2023 music video for Cardi’s song “Jealousy,” which also prominently featured Offset’s three elder children from previous relationships. Let’s dive into the identities of Cardi B’s two kids and see what the public knows about them.

Kulture Kiari Cephus

Kulture is Cardi B’s very first child. She was born in Atlanta in July of 2018 and has been a mainstay on both Cardi and Offset’s Instagram pages ever since. Kulture’s first name is a play on the famous Culture album trilogy by the Migos, as well as Cardi B and Offset’s continued inclusion in the culture of hip hop. Her middle name, Kiari, is the first name of Cardi B’s father, proving that the “I Like It” femcee has a penchant for being sentimental with her kids.

As a member of Cardi B’s famous family, Kulture has appeared at numerous red-carpet events and Hollywood premieres, including the May 2023 opening of The Little Mermaid. She also graces the cover of Offset’s aptly titled solo album Father of 4. As of Summer 2023, Kulture is a pre-kindergarten graduate and has stated that she intends to be a doctor when she grows up. Of course, her career path will be subject to change dozens of times before she reaches adulthood.

Wave Set Cephus

Continuing the sentimental naming tradition, Cardi B named her second child Wave Set Cephus. The middle name is a clear reference to his father, Offset. At the same time, “Wave” is a common hip-hop term signifying a prolific moment in time, good fortune, and success or a trend that revolutionizes everything. Wave was born in September of 2021 and is Cardi B’s only biological son as of this writing. Cardi B and Offset first announced their second pregnancy during the 2021 BET Awards, though they didn’t publicize their son’s image until he was at least seven months of age.

Obviously, not much is known about the young boy at this time, as he is only two and a half years old. If we were to guess, we’d say he’s currently really into sugary treats, stumbling his way through the room to a chorus of “aww’s” and mischievously opening and shutting cabinets.

Cardi B Is Also A Stepmom To 3

Despite Cardi B and Offset’s breakup, Cardi has a loving and long-lasting relationship with his three kids from previous relationships. Jordan was born in 2009 to Offset’s ex, Justine Watson, while Kody and Kalea were both born in 2015 to Oriel Jamie and Shya L’amour, respectively. Offset has rapped about each of his kids and his journey of fatherhood many times, even referencing Kalea by name on the track “Father of 4.”

Cardi B Details Her Hilarious Struggles To Get A Drivers License

by

Cardi B never learned how to drive. To be fair, the New York rapper was building a musical empire on the back of record-breaking singles and scene-stealing guest verses. Now that the dust has settled, though, Cardi has decided to dedicate her time to getting behind the wheel and getting her license. It hasn’t gone very smoothly. The “Bodak Yellow” hitmaker chronicled her struggles during an Instagram livestream, and the results were undeniably hilarious.

Cardi started the stream by explaining her decision to get her drivers license. She was told to pursue a “healthy habit” given the stresses of her high-profile career, and since she has so many luxury cars to her name, driving seemed like a no-brainer. “My therapist say I got to pick up a healthy habit because she said that I’m too involved with work and work is taking over my life,” she noted. “So she said for an hour a day I got to pick up healthy habit.” The tone for the lesson was set the moment Cardi decided to drive a Rolls Royce truck. Her reasoning? She couldn’t find the keys to her Bentley.

Cardi B Is Learning To Drive As Therapy

Right away, Cardi B lost track of when to do what. She wasn’t sure when to hit reverse, and upon asking her instructor for advice, suggested that the instructor be the one to drive. “I think you should do it,” she said. Eventually, Cardi’s instructor does take the wheel, and the rapper slides over to the passenger side. “Now I’m scared,” she added. “We need to get the f**k of these people’s property.”

Cardi has been upfront about her driving struggles in the past. She tweeted about the Olivia Rodrigo song “Drivers License” in 2021, and how much she could relate to its lyrics. “I really wanted my McDonald’s at 4am last night instead of today,” she noted. “But I couldn’t so I felt [sic] asleep hungry.” The rapper also poked fun at her inability during her 2018 appearance on Carpool Karaoke with James Corden. Despite this, she agreed to get behind the wheel, and the results were once again, hilarious.

We hope Cardi B secures her license soon, but we’re all enjoying the journey.

Cardi B Has Reservations About Her Sophomore Album Even With Missy Elliott’s Support

by

Cardi B has finally begun rolling out her sophomore album this year and her fans have been digging the lead singles. Both “Like What (Freestyle)” and “Enough (Miami)” have conveyed uber levels of confidence with convincing flows and banging beats. However, sometimes it is good to fake it until you make it. That seems to be the energy that the Bronx native is giving off based on a recent tweet. According to HipHopDX, Cardi B expressed how truly nervous she is to drop this album, even with some incredible support from Missy Elliott. This all began after the legend replied to a X user saying that Cardi needs to stick to what she knows fans will like.

Missy essentially said “f*** that” and to shoot for the stars. “Absolutely yes it’s the time to experiment take it from someone who experimented and many others which allowed them to NOT be BOXED in to one sound and style… I can name tons who each of their albums sounded nothing like the one before😉” That is when Cardi came in and revealed how she is handling all of this.

Cardi B Is Feeling A Lot Of Different Emotions

“Yeup!!! I’m a little nervous… but I don’t care! I’m liking doing things that my ears want to listen to and reflecting the moods I been in. It feels good,” she said. Missy has been nothing short of incredible to Cardi throughout these last few months especially. She showed tons of love to Cardi’s “Like What” track, which sampled Missy’s “She’s A B****.”

What are your thoughts on Cardi B admitting she is nervous for her new album despite Missy Elliott being in her corner? Do you think her next project will be a success, why or why not? Could this mean we have a collaboration coming from them on this LP? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section.

Megan Thee Stallion Is Putting Her ‘Best Ass On Instagram’ Title On The Line With An Open Twerk Challenge

Megan Thee Stallion isn’t phrased by Instagram’s stern warning over posting NSFW content. To prove how unfazed she is, Meg has put her “best ass on Instagram” title on the line for an open twerk challenge.

Yesterday (April 6), the entertainer took to her official page to announce the competition. “IG after dark LOL,” she wrote. “And nobody better not challenge me because this the best ass on Instagram 🤪. Or, if you think so, tag me in your video 😂. Stream ‘Wanna Be.’”

So far, only two brave souls have come forward to battle it out. The first submission came from Baddies producer Natalie Nunn. Users online didn’t quite feel that attempt.

But the fitness model Scotty’s clip has users online ready to crown a winner.

“I’m afraid she already won.”

Now, Meg’s followers are attempting to tag others into the challenge. The names thrown around so far include SZA and Uproxx cover star Chlöe. However, the “FYS” singer laughed off supporters request. “I’m afraid she already won 😭,” she wrote on X (formerly Twitter).

The only person who could potentially compete with Meg is her “Wap” collaborator, Cardi B. This could motivate Cardi to redeem herself from the last zero-rated twerk video she released.

GloRilla Dreams of Cardi B and Nicki Minaj Coming Together on New Song "Aite"

GloRilla may be the woman to unite the ladies of Hip-Hop. Speaking on “Aite” from her Ehhthang Ehhthang album, GloRilla dreams of a day where Nicki Minaj and Cardi B could collaborate.

“I just pray one day the bad bitches would come together
‘Cause Cardi and Nicki on a track would break some fuckin’ records”

GloRilla Calls For Nicki Minaj And Cardi B To End Their Beef On Her New Mixtape

by

Overnight, GloRilla released her new mixtape Ehhthang Ehhthang. She’s been teasing the project for a few months now and the lead single “Yeah Glo!” has been a big success. Alongside the release of the record she also released her next single, the similarly hyped up collaboration with Megan Thee Stallion “Wanna Be.” While that track is justifiably getting a lot of the discussion surrounding the record, fans have also found a particularly notable moment on the song “Aite.”

Lyrically, GloRilla speaks on the years-long supposed beef between Cardi B and Nicki Minaj. But the only reason she brings it up is that she’s ready for them to bury the hatchet. “I just pray one day the bad b*tches would come together. Cause Cardi and Nicki on a track would break some f*cking records,” she says on “Aite.” In the comments of a post about the lyric, fans came to her defense. “I respect her for saying names because all the other girls be throwing shade” and “She said a word ! Nicki & Cardi would’ve had the most accolades together” two of the top comments on the post read. Check out the full lyric from her new song below.

GloRilla Wants Female Rappers To Stop Beefing

Earlier this week, GloRilla appeared on the newest episode of Shannon Sharpe’s Club Shay Shay podcast. While there she was once again asked about Milwaukee Bucks star Damian Lillard. She confessed her interest in the NBA star during this year’s All-Star Weekend festivities. But as she’s often done ever since she found a way to subtly avoid sharing any real details when asked.

What she was much more willing to talk about was the cosign LeBron James gave to her new hit “Yeah Glo!” What do you think of GloRilla mentioning Nicki and Cardi B in one of her new songs? Do you agree with her that the pair need to put their beef in the past? Let us know in the comment section below.

GloRilla Calls For Cardi B And Nicki Minaj To End Their Beef And Unite For The Good Of Music On ‘Aite’

by

Here’s an exercise: Hop on social media and look for a post about Cardi B or Nicki Minaj. Go to the comments of the post, and the odds are that you will see a comment disparaging one or both of the two rappers. Cardi and Minaj’s beef, and that between their fans, is one of the strongest in music, but GloRilla wishes it wasn’t so.

On “Aite,” from her new mixtape Ehhthang Ehhthang, GloRilla envisions a world where the two would put their differences aside and make a banger together. On the song’s second verse, Glo raps, “I just pray one day the bad b*tches would come together / ‘Cause Cardi and Nicki on a track would break some f*ckin’ records.” Later in the verse, she raps, “They treat this sh*t like competition, I see it as art / Sh*t’ll be platinum in the hood but it won’t see the charts” (“they” referring to people in general, not Cardi and Nicki specifically).

Speaking of big-time collaborations, Ehhthang Ehhthang sees GloRilla work with Megan Thee Stallion on “Wanna Be.”

Listen to “Aite” above.
