It’s been over three years since Offset delivered his FATHER OF 4 album, and since then, we’ve seen the 30-year-old expand his family by one, which makes us wonder if we’ll be getting FATHER OF 5 anytime soon. Regardless of what he’s been cooking up in the studio, the Migos member and his wife Cardi B have been keeping their fans satisfied with plenty of baby content.

While three of Offset’s children come from other relationships, he and Bardi share Kulture Kiari Cephus (3) and their new arrival – a baby boy, Wave Set Cephus.

For the first few months of his life, the newborn was kept out of the spotlight, but last month, the talented couple posed for a magazine cover, sharing his face with the world for the first time. Sources shared that it was Offset who crafted his son’s unique name; they initially considered Wave Marley Cephus, but it didn’t feel right to them.

Just a few days ago mama Cardi dropped off a sweet family portrait with her hubby and their two kids, as well as her sister, Hennessy Carolina, who she spends plenty of time with.

Now, Offset is sharing some heartwarming content of his own, posing with baby Wave in a pink and white sweater vest with plenty of ice layered around his neck. “BIG WAVE,” he wrote in the caption.

Wave Set, who’s only months old, appears to be Cardi B’s twin so far, but time will tell if he takes after his dad as he gets older – check out the photos above, and tap back in with HNHH later for more pop culture news updates.

The next few months may have some new music to put into rotation. Early projections show that Kendrick Lamar and Harry Styles in particular will make huge debuts, while Jack Harlow’s release will see lower projections. 

Hits Daily Double reports that Harlow’s Come Home the Kids Miss You is expected to bring in 160,000-180,000 in its first week. Kendrick’s highly-anticipated follow-up to 2017’s Damn, is projected to push 350,000-400,000 units in its first week. Harry Styles is expected to blow both projects out of the water with Harry’s House moving around 400,000-450,000 units.

The latest numbers for Kendrick’s upcoming Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers are updated from last week’s figures which projected that the album would move 350,000 equivalent units. On the flipside, Damn took in 603,000 first-week equivalent album units, with 353,000 coming from traditional album sales. The album also earned a Pulitzer Prize for Music and won Best Rap Album at the 2018 Grammy Awards. As of now, it’s expected for his numbers to dip because he has not announced physical copies of the album. The album is set to release on May 13. 

Harlow’s upcoming album will release on May 6 and is anticipated to debut on the Billboard 200. His debut studio album That’s What They All Say was released back in December 2020. Featuring appearances from Lil Baby, Big Sean, Chris Brown, Adam Levine, DaBaby, and more, the album also boasted the remix of his single “What’s Poppin”. Harlow debuted at no.5 on the Billboard 200, moving 51,000 equivalent units.

Drake may have almost entered the world of The Amazing Spider-Man, Wonder Woman, Batman and many more popular superhero series, in a scrapped DC Comics TV series. 

Character designer Jared Krichevsky casually shared a post on his Instagram page revealing a mock-up of Drake as a cyborg. He captioned the photo, “Cyborg concept for a series that didn’t happen. They wanted to cast Drake at one point.”

Fans quickly flooded the comment section to give their opinions about the character design. One user commented, “Drakeborg,” while another commented, “the greatest image to ever exist.” Following the influx of comments, Jared returned to the caption to provide a caveat, writing: “Since this post is getting attention I should clarify I don’t know at what level they were considering him. I just got a brief note saying to make him look like Drake. Could have been nothing [shrug emoji] Still fun to work on.”

While Drake put his acting career on hold to focus on music, he revealed in an interview with W Magazine, back in 2015, he couldn’t wait to get back into show business. “I can’t wait to get back into acting,” he said at the time. “No one ever asks me to do movies, and, although music is my focal point now, I’d love to do a film. That was the life that I lived before, and it would be interesting to live it again.”

Many are familiar with Drake’s role as James “Jimmy” Brooks in Degrassi: The Next Generation, who would come to be known as Wheelchair Jimmy after the character suffered paralysis from getting shot. There were reports that Drake had allegedly almost left the show after learning that his character would be confined to a wheelchair. 

Would you want to see Drake as some sort of superhero?

If anyone knows how to cause a stir at the Met Gala, it’s Kim Kardashian. For 2021’s event, the socialite stepped out in an all-black innovative Balenciaga ensemble, but this time around, she took us back in time to 1962, when Marilyn Monroe sang “Happy Birthday” to President John F. Kennedy in a particularly scandalous dress.

The 41-year-old knew for some time that she wanted to wear the late icon’s famous gown, but as it turns out, she was initially denied the privilege – however, that didn’t stop her from putting in work to make her dreams come true.

As TMZ reports, Kim’s team initially reached out months ago after doing their research on the garment; they met for a fitting back in March, but things didn’t go as planned with both the Ripley’s Believe It or Not! museum and the mother of four being disappointed in the final look.

Seeing as Monroe’s dress is 60 years old now, the fabric is particularly delicate and tailoring was not an option. Kardashian took it upon herself to drop 16 pounds in just a few weeks in hopes of getting the look on her body, and while she wasn’t able to get it fully closed in the end, she did manage to make it work for the red carpet.

Behind the scenes footage shows the 41-year-old working with a dedicated team to get her bodacious behind covered as her boyfriend Pete Davidson watches on in support.

Ultimately they realized that Kardashian could get away with keeping the back open, so long as she covered it with a fur – luckily the necessary addition only made her appear more glamorous.

Rather than pay a rental fee, the reality star will be making two donations to organizations in the Orlando area on the museum’s behalf. Now that she’s done wearing it, Monroe’s gown will be moved to Ripley’s in Hollywood, California, where it’ll be placed on display along with her accessories.

In other news, Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson ended their Met Gala eve with pizza and donuts before flying back to Los Angeles – read more about that here, and tap back in with HNHH later for more pop culture news updates.

The rapper’s mother, Keenya Young, also took to her Instagram page showing off her ”fit. She captioned the post, “at the [fire emoji] game on wood,” stunting in a figure-hugging white t-shirt dress with her matching Chanel accessories. She tied the look together with a slick-back ponytail.
