Is Cardi B Releasing A New Album In 2024?

May 16, 2024 by newhiphopnews

BardiGang is starved for Cardi B’s sophomore album, which will be her first LP release since her groundbreaking, Grammy-winning 2018 debut, Invasion Of Privacy. Cardi has teased her highly anticipated follow-up for years, even saying that the album would drop at some point in 2024 on several occasions last fall. Still, it’s difficult to keep up with where Cardi actually is in her album rollout process.

Is Cardi B Releasing A New Album In 2024?

Earlier this week, Cardi B responded to someone on X (formerly Twitter) who suggested that Cardi was “underappreciated” by her fans. Cardi wrote, “Exactly and I tell myself this all the time, and I hate that I fall back and start interacting again and it bites me in the ass…anyway NO album this year..Dropping these features I already committed to and traveling and enjoying my summer.”

Uh oh.

But fear not.

On Thursday morning, May 16, Cardi B was revealed as the latest Rolling Stone cover star. Within the Mankaprr Conteh-written profile, Cardi’s apprehension about dropping a follow-up to Invasion Of Privacy is thoroughly reported, and an update is provided on where the as-yet-titled sophomore studio album stands, as excerpted below.

“In an Instagram video from March 1, Cardi promised to do just that, saying she would release the album this year. By the middle of May, however, she will backpedal in a heated online exchange with her followers. As Cardi and Spotify commemorate those four songs hitting a billion streams each, she’ll spot fans on X posting skeptically about the status of the album, and fire back: ‘This is a big accomplishment for me, and of course here comes Bardigang complaining like Deum I can’t celebrate sh*t,’ she’ll write, adding, ‘Anyway NO album this year I don’t care I’m relaxing.’ Soon after, however, she’ll delete the latter tweet, with her rep confirming to Rolling Stone that an album in 2024 is still the plan.”

Cardi B Said She Will Be ‘Relaxing This Year,’ And Thus, Will Not Release An Album Until 2025

May 14, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It looks like the Bardigang is going to have to wait a little bit longer for new music. Over the course of the past few months, Cardi B has been teasing her long-awaited sophomore album. She’s released buzzy singles “Like What (Freestyle)” and “Enough (Miami),” which have fueled anticipation for her first album since her 2018 debut, Invasion Of Privacy.

But today (May 14), Cardi took to Twitter to explain that she will likely not drop an album until next year.

Cardi is not one to mince words, however, a fan suggested that some might not appreciate her bluntness. The fan also said that while this wears Cardi out, it is ultimately Cardi’s choice to interact with haters.

The rapper acknowledged this, and said she plans to dial it back. In more ways than one.

“Exactly and I tell myself this all the time..and I hate that I fall back and start interacting again and it bites me in the ass…” she said. “anyway NO album this year I don’t care I’m relaxing this year.. Dropping these features I already committed to and traveling and enjoying my summer.”

Though a Cardi feature is usually the key to a banger, fans have been waiting for a full body of work for over six years.

But it seems she might change her mind, as she has since deleted the interaction.

Offset Samples R&B Classic In Incredible New Song Snippet

May 11, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Offset has been quiet as of late. The Migos rapper dropped his second solo album, Set It Off, in 2023, but since then, he’s been relegated to the occasional guest verse. His relationship with Cardi B has taken up most of his media coverage. Even when he does get attention for something music-related, its not in a positive light. Offset recently pulled out of his scheduled performance at Hot 97 Summer Jam, and fans were not pleased. The rapper needs something to get back on track. And he might have just previewed it on Instagram.

Offset hopped on social media on May 10 to preview a new song. No discernable lyrics, or even a title, but the instrumental came through loud and clear. The rapper can be heard skating over a trap beat that samples the 1980s R&B classic “Love You Down.” The song, originally sung by Ready for the World, can be heard in its entirety during the beginning of Offset’s version. As the vocals reach a fever pitch, drums kick it and the sample gets filtered. It sounds great. Offset takes a melodic approach on this one, singing his rhymes instead of spitting them. It makes total sense, given the romantic subject matter of “Love You Down.”

The snippet is a different sound for the rapper. His solo material has largely been an extension of Migos, with an emphasis on hard-hitting drums and glitchy hi-hats. Offset told Los Angeles Daily News that he looks to old school music as an inspiration when it comes to what he’s doing next. He cited another 80s icon, Michael Jackson, specifically. “I learned to appreciate the skill set that he put in, and the extra grind and the work and the practice,” he noted. “I see more for myself and creatively challenge myself to take it to the next level, even though I’m on a high level.”

There’s been little to no information on Offset’s next album. He mentioned it during a TMZ interview in December 2023, but even then, he provided a release date that came and went. “Next album dropping February,” he claimed. “[That’s an] exclusive, I only told y’all that.” Hopefully fans to get to hear the full version of this new song soon.

JT Calls Out Even More Rappers On Extended Version Of “Okay”

May 10, 2024 by newhiphopnews

JT had more to say. The City Girls rapper caused quite a stir when she dropped her single “Okay.” The lyrics saw her take aim at a very specific peer, but she didn’t name names, so fans were unsure of who she meant. The target was whittled down to either Cardi B or Sukihana. The former didn’t bother saying anything, and the latter addressed the situation over social media. JT didn’t like that. She took Sukihana to task for not asking her in private, and proceeded to insult her several times via X (formerly Twitter).

Now, JT has an extended version of “Okay.” The rapper felt like she didn’t quite nail the aggressiveness of the original, so she added additional bars. To nobody’s surprise, they are mean-spirited. The City Girls rapper doesn’t include names again, but they once again register as pointed. “Ain’t no way I’m ever layin’ down for you stank h*es,” she raps on the new version. “Tell these b*tches why you really mad. Cuse you said I couldn’t do it, look at my black a*s.” It’s obvious that all the speculation and fan attention only gave JT more incentive to up the ante, and that’s exactly what she does here.

JT Calls Out 3 Specific Rappers Out Of “Boredom”

“Y’all h*es know you can’t f*ck with me,” JT adds. “That’s why y’all in a huddle trying to see how y’all can f*ck with me.” The rapper then clarifies that she has lots of time to go to war with whoever wants to heed the call. She went as far as to describe herself as bored, and ready for the smoke. “I clapped back in the air cuse a b*tch bored,” she asserted. The hardest-hitting line, though, is towards the end of the verse, when JT decides to be specific and vague at the same time.

She calls out three specific targets without mentioning names, but it seems like these targets know who they are. And they don’t intimidate JT for a second. “To be clear h*e, this for you, you and you (p**sy),” she tauntingly raps. “You ain’t a threat or a f*cking goon. City Cinderella coming soon.” City Cinderella is the name of JT’s upcoming solo album, and frankly, she’s doing a great job of drumming up attention. It is the year of the rap beef, so what better way to get eyes on your project?

Cardi B Explained That She Referred To Her Met Gala Dress Designer As ‘Asian’ Because She Didn’t Want To Mispronounce His Name

May 8, 2024 by newhiphopnews

This past Monday (May 6), Cardi B had one of the most talked about looks at the Met Gala. However, when identifying the designer, Cardi made a bit of a faux pas.

During the red carpet portion, Emma Chamberlain interviewed Cardi. When she asked her about who she was wearing, Cardi appeared to draw a blank. She explained ““They’re Asian and everything” — an identifier that was met with backlash.

In a comment section Vogue‘s former managing director Gilbert Cheah expressed disdain toward how Cardi acknowledge designer Sensen Lii.

“For the record and recognition, and no thanks to Cardi B, the designer of her gown is Sensen Lii who’s Chinese,” said Cheah. “The gown took two months to make. I personally think it’s boring and not even on theme but she chose it and should have at least remembered his name and not just that he’s ‘Asian’

Cardi later took to Instagram to explain that she didn’t mean to “be offensive.” She noted that she did, in fact, draw a blank on how to pronounce Lii’s name, and didn’t want to get it wrong.

“I kind of forgot how to pronounce the designer’s name because his name is a little bit complicated… my mind was just racing,” Cardi explained.

At the time of writing, Lii has not directly commented on the matter.

JT Shuts Down Sukihana Diss Rumors By Savagely Dissing Her

May 3, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Rappers really hate other rappers in 2024. JT already had beef with her City Girls partner Yung Miami this year, which spurred her to drop more solo material. She dropped the single “Okay,” but the lyrics sparked even more controversy because fans thought she was talking about someone in particular. Sukihana and Cardi B were the rumored targets, and the former hopped on Instagram to clear a few things up. Sukihana claimed that she and JT were on good terms. She did, however, ask JT to clarify who’s really in her crosshairs.

The rapper got what she asked for. JT took to X (formerly Twitter) on May 3 to clear the air between her and Sukihana. She stated that the “Okay” lyrics were not aimed at Sukihana, but then proceeded to bash her mercilessly throughout the explanation. It’s fascinating to read. “Sukihana You KNEW I wasn’t talking about YOU I would’ve answered quicker if you didn’t try to do a 2 for 1 special,” JT wrote. “I never knew your tooth fell out from eating crab legs you go viral for stupid sh*t Daily.”

JT Went On An Insult-Filled Rant Against Sukihana

JT took umbrage with the fact that Sukihana posted about the alleged diss on Instagram instead of asking her privately. “You kept writing me back to back you could’ve DM’d me but you was trying to distract me,” she tweeted. “AND use me to run your sh*t up so you can run a special for page promo sucka a*s h*e.” It seemed as though JT’s temper raised with each post. The third tweet aimed at the “Hood Rats” rapper was even uglier.

JT claimed that Sukihana attended her birthday party without permission, and tried to benefit from music that’s not connected to her. “You definitely was at my party UNINVITED always wanna be seen & heard ass bitch,” she wrote. “Search my page I been supporting you never had a issue with you so why would I enter a booth & think of YOU? sewer p**sy???!” The last insult is far and away the most devastating. It’s the last thing fans expected, especially given that the two rappers were seemingly on good terms.

The ironic part of the whole encounter is that Sukihana brought about her own feud. When she posted about “Okay” on Instagram, she ruled herself out from being a target because she had no reason to beef with JT. “I don’t take her as a girl that just start trouble with random people when she droppin’ a song,” she said. Evidently, speculating about JT on IG was enough to start trouble. There wasn’t beef before, but there certainly is now.

Cardi B Pursues Tasha K’s Husband in Ongoing Legal Battle

May 3, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The legal saga between rapper Cardi B and gossip vlogger Tasha K continues to unfold, with new allegations surfacing about alleged attempts to evade payment of a defamation judgment. Recent court documents obtained by Radar Online shed light on Cardi B’s efforts to compel Tasha K’s husband, Cheickna Kebe, to turn over crucial documents that could impact the case.

Cardi B, who was awarded a $4 million judgment against Tasha K after successfully suing her for defamation, has been on a mission to uncover hidden assets and trusts allegedly created by Tasha K to avoid paying the judgment. However, the latest discovery suggests that it may be Tasha K’s husband who is involved in concealing the money.

According to the court documents, Cardi B sought to compel Cheickna Kebe to produce emails that could contain vital information related to the case. Despite objections from Kebe’s lawyer, Cardi B’s legal team pressed forward, eventually deposing Alicia Thomas, an accountant who worked for Kebe. During the deposition, Cardi B’s team uncovered the existence of an undisclosed email address actively used by Kebe for business purposes, which was not previously disclosed despite being requested.

Cardi B’s lawyers claimed to have discovered the existence of a previously undisclosed company owned by Kebe, called IBSM Technolgie LLC, created approximately one month after Tasha K filed for bankruptcy. This revelation raises suspicions of asset concealment and attempts to evade Cardi B’s collection efforts.

Cardi B’s legal team argued that both Tasha K and Kebe admitted under oath to moving assets and funds in an effort to avoid paying the defamation judgment. They accused the couple of engaging in bad faith efforts to suppress Tasha K’s true income by filtering it through Kebe’s companies.

Tasha K Claims Panic Led to Creation of Offshore Trusts Amid Cardi B Lawsuit

April 30, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Two years after being ordered to pay rapper Cardi B a hefty sum in damages for defamation of character, YouTube gossip vlogger Tasha K finds herself in yet another legal battle. Last week, revelations surfaced that Cardi B had successfully traced Tasha’s financial accounts, including offshore trusts in Africa, prompting Tasha to defend herself, claiming she created the trusts out of panic to safeguard her family.

For months, Cardi B had been seizing Tasha’s income from her YouTube channel and other social media platforms, using subpoenas to delve into Tasha’s financial affairs. Earlier this year, Cardi made a startling discovery—multiple domestic and offshore trusts that Tasha and her husband had established but failed to disclose in their bankruptcy petition.

Among the trusts uncovered were The Sambakessi Investment Trust (Cook Islands), Soninkes LLC (Island of Nevis), The Bamako Trust (Kebe Children ILT) (Georgia), Transrina Management Trust (Georgia), and the Florida Joint Revocable Living Trust. Tasha’s lawyer admitted that these trusts were created in response to Cardi B’s lawsuit but emphasized that they had never been utilized.

According to Tasha’s legal representative, the impending judgment from Cardi B’s lawsuit induced a state of panic, prompting Tasha to take swift action to protect her family and assets. In March 2021, Tasha sought estate planning services from a Georgia attorney, resulting in the creation of the trusts. However, each trust was funded with a mere $10 in cash, and no bank accounts were ever established for them. Furthermore, no transfers were made into or out of the trusts.

Tasha maintains that the trusts remain dormant and hold no value. Similarly, a limited partnership formed during this period was deemed to have no worth and has never been utilized.

Sukihana Claims That JT Is NOT Dissing Her On New Single “Okay”

April 29, 2024 by newhiphopnews

JT really stirred up more rap beef in 2024. The City Girls emcee dropped her solo single “Okay,” and fans have been trying to figure out who she’s targeting. “She ate crab legs, now her whole tooth missing,” she rapped. “Cheap a*s veneers, you stay talkin’ sh*t.” These lines are so specific that fans have been able to boil it down to two artists: Cardi B or Sukihana. The former hasn’t commended on the JT song, but Sukihana got tired of people tagging her on Instagram. She hopped on social media to set the record straight between her and JT.

Sukihana started her post by acknowledging that she did, in fact, break her tooth eating crab legs. “We all know I done broke my teeth on some crab legs,” she noted. It was the second part of JT’s line that led to her dismissing the theory. “I don’t talk sh*t about b*tches. I always show love,” she explained. “Never hate on a b*tch, never called a b*tch name.” Sukihana also pointed to the fact that she was just at JT’s birthday party in December. “I was at JT birthday party, it was hugs and giggles, so I don’t feel like she talking about me.”

Sukihana Clarifies That Her And JT Are Friends

Sukihana did admit that was dealing with legal troubles with “Okay” dropped, so she may have missed some crucial details. The rapper was arrested for possession of ecstasy with intent to sell, manufacture or deliver and possession of codeine with intent to sell and manufacture on April 25. She was released a few days later on a $7,500 bond from Broward County. “I was locked up when the song came out, I come home, I look at my phone and everybody keep tagging me,” she told her fans. “They tagging Cardi too, they said JT was trying to diss me or Cardi B in a song.”

Sukihana maintains that everything is solid between her and JT. She went as far as to vouch for the character of the City Girls emcee. “”I don’t take her as a girl that just start trouble with random people when she droppin’ a song,” she reasoned. She did, however, leave some room open for clarification. She asked JT to speak out on the “Okay” lyrics and set the record straight on who she’s targeting. “They said it’s trouble in paradise for her and Cardi,” she added. “I just don’t feel like me and you got no tea, so just let me know.”
