Fans have been waiting for Cardi B’s sophomore album since she shared her debut, Invasion of Privacy, back in 2018. While we don’t have a release date – or any details, really – just yet, we do know that Cardi is already fiercely defending her forthcoming project.

In response to finding out that the mother of two has plans to include both ‘WAP’ and ‘Up’ on her sophomore album, Bobby Foster wrote on Twitter, “I blame the streaming era. Artists just do this to get certifications for their album. I don’t like it.” The post was later removed, with the creator alleging that he “was not trying to start a stan war,” prompting him to delete it.

The post sparked a ton of debate online about what Cardi’s intentions are – and if they even matter to anyone but her. Of course, once she got wind of the discourse, the “Thru Your Phone” artist didn’t hesitate to join the chat. In response to Foster’s explanation for his removal, she wrote, “Stop trying to act innocent when [you] know [you] was trying to pander.”

“Why haven’t you said nothing about other [artists] who recently put songs [before] the pandemic on their album or people that have to put other [people’s] songs on their shit… Imagine my biggest song not being on [an] album.”

Speaking in the Hustlers star’s defence, one user wrote, “I don’t see anything wrong with it. The sophomore album was always supposed to be ‘WAP’ and ‘Up”s home. Then she got pregnant and things got delayed. The songs are part of the work and not just random songs thrown on an album.” 

In response, the Invasion of Privacy artist quote tweeted, “Lmaaaoooooooooo imagine me not putting my OWN records on my album.”

“Whether it’s good or bad, guess whose album y’all gave promo to today FOR NO REASON?!” Cardi wrote in another post. “THANK YOU, girls! Now get your coins ready!”

This is a debate that has shown face throughout Chris Brown’s career, and it has also been the catalyst for several discussions about influences in music. Although Michael Jackson is hailed internationally as the King of Pop, there are some who believe that Brown is an overall better artist. They have referenced his hits, his dance moves, and his creativity outside of music, but diehard Jackson fans will not budge in giving Breezy more credit than the Thriller icon.

A viral tweet once again reignited those conversations: “Chris Brown is more talented than Michael Jackson… there I said it! Have a great week.”

It didn’t take long for the micro-blogging platform to light up with replies, but once screenshots made their over to Instagram, it only added fuel to the fire. The Neighborhood Talk gained thousands of reactions, including one from R&B veteran Tank who agreed with the sentiment.

“I’ve been the only one saying this and i’ve felt alone for so long,” wrote Tank. “Welcome to the fold! Singer, Dancer, writer, producer, actor, painter, clothing designer, gymnast, ninja, etc!!! [shrug emoji] MJ is the greatest but CB has more gifts is all we’re saying..[praying hands emoji].”

While many fans of Brown were quick to agree with Tank’s take, those on the opposing side of this coin were more concerned with Jackson’s talent and versatility in his catalog and not with any creativity that may have lacked outside of music. Tank received those criticisms and returned with a follow-up.

“People don’t read to comprehend they only read to respond. MJ is the greatest of all times!! His musical catalog and abilities will never be matched but as far as overall gifts CB has more. There are plenty of artists who never made it out that have more gifts than all of us..lol. We’re not arguing greatness we simply counting gifts.”

When he’s not fulfilling his duties as quarterback of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 44-year-old Tom Brady has been diving into the world of fashion with the upcoming launch of his BRADY Brand, which his wife Gisele Bündchen gave fans a cheeky sneak peek of on her Instagram Story earlier today.

On Monday, the world-famous model captured a video of her man checking himself out in the bathroom mirror while wearing nothing more than a gray bear of boxer briefs. “Hey, somebody’s brand new underwear!” she teased off-camera, earning a smile from Brady.

Jokingly, the father of three attempted to hide behind a towel, but not before Bündchen was able to get a closer look with her camera. “What is this?” she asked. “Let me see. Let me see your underwear. Is that BRADY Brand underwear?”

The clip not only landed on the Brazil-born starlet’s Story but also on her husband’s company’s official Twitter page. “Launching Thursday 06.09: Underwear. The most comfortable underwear ever that never loses its shape, and is @giseleofficial approved. Get ready to look and feel #BetterInBrady,” they wrote above it.

According to his wife, the Super Bowl champion is a bit of a fashion fanatic. “He loves clothes way more than I do,” she told WSJ Magazine last year. “He has great taste and understands and really cares about what people want, what can help them feel good. That’s what fashion is about.”

“Tom has accomplished so much in his career, and the world knows him for his love and devotion to the game of football,” Bündchen continued. “Now it’s great having others also get to know him a bit more, as I do.”

From 2014 to 2016, Kylie Jenner found herself quickly rising amongst the ranks of her sisters after dubbing herself “King Kylie” and letting her creativity overflow on websites like Tumblr and Instagram, where she curated online images and shared some of her own to create the aesthetic of her dreams that inspired fans all over the world.

Around the same time was when she launched Kylie Cosmetics, which has been a major part of her life for the past eight years, and has grown and evolved into other brands like Kylie Skin, Kylie Baby, and Kylie Swim.

For a while, it felt as though “King Kylie” had become a thing of the past (especially as she stepped into her new role as a mother of two), but the 24-year-old’s recent posts on Instagram have her hundreds of millions of followers speculating that her alter ego may be making a long-awaited return.

Over the weekend, Jenner shared a series of uploads that saw her and Victoria Villarroel take a trip “to Mars” as they headed to the lake for a day of fun in the sun. For those photos, she donned a silver scoop-neck swimsuit that certainly caught our attention, although not as much as the one she posted today.

“Free the nipple,” the reality star wrote in the caption of her Monday afternoon upload, wearing a $325 Jean Paul Gaultier x Lotta Volkova “naked bikini,” which she proudly flaunted for the camera, along with some rings she frequently rocked back in the day.

Bobby Shmurda loves to cause mischief, there’s no doubt about it, and that’s exactly what the 27-year-old did during a recent trip to Beverly Hills, California.

As HipHopDX reports, the “Hot N*gga” hitmaker was in the big city this past weekend and decided to have fun with fans that he ran into while in an elevator with his team. In a clip that was shared on his Instagram page, a group of young women can be seen entering before asking the rapper, “It’s my birthday, do I get a show? A free show?”

In response, Shmurda told the girls that he and his friends were male strippers. “A free show?” he shot back. “We’re private dancers, this is Big Jeff,” he quipped, pointing to one of the men in his entourage.

The women asked Bobby and co. if they were performing at an event, and he playfully teased that they would be headed to a bachelorette party, inviting them to tag along. While they said no, they did show interest in coming back to his room.

That wasn’t the only stripper shenanigans that Shmurda got into – in another video upload, he can be seen sitting outside, grabbing lunch with his friends when a woman approached to shower them in compliments.

“Hey, I just want to ask you guys – you’re all gorgeous, who are you?” she pondered. “You’re famous, right? Who are you?” The Miami native told her, “We’re private dancers,” which prompted her to tell them that they had “made her day,” once again remarking on their beauty.

Just last month, Bobby Shmurda was swarmed by fans who were clearly ecstatic to see him in the middle of the road – read more about that here, and tap back in with HNHH later for more hip-hop news updates.
