Cardi B and Offset Reunite to Celebrate Son Wave’s Third Birthday

Rep From Cardi B's Camp Denies Rumors That Offset is Expecting Another Baby

Cardi B and Offset reunited over the weekend to celebrate the birthday of their 3-year-old son, Wave. The two celebrated at the DreamWorks Water Park in New Jersey. You can see images from the celebration below.

Earlier this summer, Cardi B filed for divorce from her husband Offset. According to TMZ, the pending divorce is not associated with anyone cheating and “is a long time in coming.”

Additional notes reveal Cardi and Offset have been growing apart and are “just disconnected from each other.”

An insider close to TMZ highlights a December social media post reading, “You know when you just out grow relationships … I’m tired of protecting peoples feelings … I GOTTA PUT MYSELF FIRST!”

After a year of attempting to stay together, the two have agreed to the “amicable” split with Cardi requesting primary custody of their children.

Earlier this week, Cardi B saw parts of the Internet as praying about the downfall of her marriage, but she isn’t having it. Cardi responded to a Page Six article stating she was “fighting to make payments” on her Georgia mansion to dodge foreclosure.

“LMAOOO You bum bitches wish,” Cardi wrote online. “Me and Offset bought that house in 2019 for 5 million now it’s worth 7.

“Check the Atlanta market. And no, we not selling it… and if I ever sold it I would just sell my part to Offset since he loves Atlanta. Throwing salt on my home? Hating bad.”

Ice Spice Highlights Workout Routine: ‘We Beatin Them Allegations’

Ice Spice is noticeably slimmer than when we were first introduced to the star. Social media users wondered was it a result of Ozempic. Spie wants you to know that she is hard at work in the gym.

Hitting Instagram, Ice Spice dropped off a workout video. Captioning it, “We beatin them allegations bae.” You can see the post below.

Previously, Ice Spice went in on rumors suggesting she might be using the diabetes drug Ozempic, which has gained popularity as a weight-loss tool. 

In her defense, why does it have to be the Big-O just because you look different? Actors scale down AND up in weight all the time in a short period for roles; why can’t others make body changes, especially with all the resources they have?

Anyway, during an X Spaces session on August 19, she expressed frustration with these rumors, emphasizing that her weight loss is due to her active lifestyle, including her current Y2K! World Tour, healthy eating, and regular gym visits. She dismissed the idea of using Ozempic, questioning, “What even is Ozempic? What the f*ck is that?”

Get this: Ice Spice also mentioned that her busy schedule, which includes touring and preparing for future music projects, has contributed to her physical changes. 

On the business front, she recently launched her Y2K! World Tour and released her Y2K! album. Moreover, she hinted that she’s already eager to start working on her next album, though she noted she doesn’t want to start teasing it just yet.

Good for her, across the board.

Cardi B Says She Was Not Throwing Shady with Maternity Shoot: ‘Are You Dumb??’

Cardi B Reveals Why She Has Yet To Collaborate With Rihanna

The Cardi B and Nicki Minaj feud will seemingly never reach a conclusion, even when one of the two is just living life. Cardi just dropped a maternity shoot, but one of the pictures had “homesick pedophile” spraypainted in the background, and fans are wondering if it was the latest dig at Nicki Minaj.

Seeing the speculation online, Cardi responded:

“First of all we literally picked a random street because paparazzi was hounding us everywhere. This was supposed to be my original first picture and we had to edit the photos in minutes because the shoot got leaked. Didn’t even have time to go over every detail because people were busy trying to expose my pregnancy as [an] ‘aha’ moment… Second I’m ALWAYS with the shits but I’m not using MY MATERNITY shoot to be funny. Are you dumb??”

50 Cent Reveals Dame Dash Thought $1 Million Advance from Shady Records Wasn’t Alot

by
50Cent024

Dame Dash is 50 Cent’s latest target. Speaking with Million Dollaz Worth of Game, 50 gave insight to a conversation with Dash during contract negotiations with Shady Records.

“The only person that pointed out a million dollars was no money was Damon Dash and he has no money now,” 50 said. “How you gonna say that’s no money?

“After you get you a watch, chain, look out for the homies and then do this, then it’s nothing.”

You can hear it from 50 below.

Dame Dash is sweetening the pot on his pending Roc-a-Fella sale. Hitting Instagram, Dash announced he would throw in a Roc-A-Fella chain to whoever is the lucky buyer.

“As we all know, one-third of Roc-A-Fella Inc. which owns Reasonable Doubt is for sale and I’ve gotten a lot of calls, a lot of offers,” Dash said. “I’ve definitely got some very healthy offers and I appreciate those.

“So if you do wanna buy one-third of Roc-A-Fella Inc., you are gonna have to bring some bread. And anything over $10 million, I’m gonna sweeten the pot: you get an original Roc-A-Fella chain from off my neck.”

Dame Dash heard about JAY-Z’s legal filing, stating a claim to Reasonable Doubt in 2031. His response: “This shit is still for sale.”

The battle over the rights to Jay-Z’s iconic debut album, Reasonable Doubt, is nearing its conclusion. Recent legal filings reveal that the full ownership of the album will officially transfer to Jay-Z in 2031. This news comes as Dame Dash, co-founder of Roc-A-Fella Records, is facing the public auction of his 33.3% stake in the company, scheduled for later this month.

TMZ states that the U.S. Marshals will auction Dash’s shares in Roc-A-Fella Records, with a minimum bid set at $1.2 million. This auction follows years of Dash attempting to sell his shares, culminating in this forced sale. The proceeds from the auction are intended to cover a judgment from a civil suit Dash lost in 2022 to Josh Webber and Muddy Waters Pictures over defamation and copyright infringement related to the film Dear Frank.

The recent filing by Jay-Z’s legal team further complicates the value of Dash’s stake in Roc-A-Fella. The document confirms that the rights to Reasonable Doubt, released in 1996, will transfer from Roc-A-Fella to Jay-Z’s ownership under his real name, Shawn Carter, in 2031. This shift was already set to happen 35 years after the album’s release. Still, the filing makes it official, indicating that whoever wins the auction will only receive a portion of the album’s revenue for the next six years.

But insert Dash and his response:

They can say what they want, this shit is still for sale. You’re not buying a copyright, you’re buying a piece of a company ROC A FELLA INC. Please only serious inquiries only!

It turns out that in addition to hosting the 2024 MTV VMAs, Megan Thee Stallion will also be performing.

Meg revealed the news today (September 3), writing on social media, “Hotties not Onlyyyy am I your lovely host for the evening at the 2024 @vmas IM ALSOOO PERFORMINGGGG.”

This news comes just days after Meg announced a new collaborative single with BTS member RM coming out soon, so perhaps that tune will make her VMAs setlist. She said of the song, “This is one of my favorite RM verses I’ve heard. I’ve never heard him rap in this style before.” “Mamushi,” for which Megan just released a surreal new video, would also seemingly be a candidate for the performance slot.

Megan is nominated in five categories: Best Collaboration (“Wanna Be” with GloRilla), and Best Hip Hop, Best Visual Effects, Best Direction, and Best Art Direction (all for “Boa”). She’s behind nominations leader Taylor Swift, who has 10 nods, as well as Post Malone with nine and Sabrina Carpenter, Eminem, and Ariana Grande with six each.

The list of performers this year also includes Chappell Roan, Sabrina Carpenter, Camila Cabello, GloRilla, Rauw Alejandro, Lisa, Halsey, Benson Boone, Lenny Kravitz, and Katy Perry (who is also receiving the Video Vanguard Award).

The 2024 VMAs are set to air on MTV on September 11 at 8 p.m. ET.
