Azealia Banks Endorses “Stupid And Incoherent” Kamala Harris For President

by

Is there a more outspoken celebrity than Azealia Banks? She can make people like Kanye West seem well behaved. The rapper has proven to be a consistent source of scorn and praise for her bold social media statements. She will take anyone to task, no matter who they are or how protective their fanbase can be. Kamala Harris is no exception. Despite receiving endorsements from the likes of Beyonce, Eminem, and Rihanna, Harris has repeatedly fallen victim to the Azealia Banks buzzsaw. Which is why it was such an unexpected twist when the rapper announced she would be team Kamala.

Azealia Banks made her decision known on November 4. The rapper confirmed that she was voting against Donald Trump, but not because she was a fan of Harris. In fact, Banks saw fit to insult Harris a few times while explaining her reasoning. “For as stupid and incoherent Kamala Harris is,” she wrote on Twitter. “And as trash as [Tim] Walz is, and despite the fact that Kamala Harris is the only Democratic Nominee to not have actively campaigned in a Primary…” Not a ringing endorsement by any standard, and yet, Azealia Banks (kinda) landed the plane.

Azealia Banks Wants To Keep Elon Musk From Power

The rapper’s reason for voting Harris/Walz is that she cannot stand Elon Musk. The Tesla founder and Twitter owner has become a key player in Trump’s campaign. Trump even claimed that he would make Musk the head of a government efficiency commission if elected. This is something Azealia Banks can’t abide by. “I really think keeping Elon Musk away from any type of political power… is tantamount to any issue on the table here,” she wrote. “You have to be a complete idiot to think that dirtbag cares about anyone or anything other than himself.”

Azealia Banks proceeded to list off all the other issues she had with the Trump campaign. It’s obvious that she has more negative things to say about him than she does positive things about Harris, but it still amounted to an endorsement. The irony is that Banks’ announcement comes a few days after she went in on Cardi B for endorsing Kamala Harris. Banks mocked Cardi’s appearance at a recent campaign rally and accused her of leaning on a “stupid Latina shtick.” Now, it appears, both rappers have wound up in the same place.

Offset Blasts “Disgusting” Fans Over Photoshopped Image Of Daughter

by

Offset and Cardi B’s daughter was the victim of a gruesome photoshop scandal on November 4. Social media users began sharing doctored images of the child having sex with Offset, which led Cardi B to go on a fiery rant. Understandably so. The rapper called fans out for their bizarre obsession and felt they had taken things too far. “That sh*t be pissing me the f*ck off,” she explained. “All because y’all in y’all feelings because I f*cking tweeted my kids are smart.” Hours later, Offset decided to say his peace.

The Migos rapper did not rant for as long as Cardi B, but he was similarly horrified. Offset made it clear that the people responsible for the photoshopped images were no fans of his. “You ppl are disgusting on here with my kids,” he tweeted. “Inappropriate post wtf do you get from doing that God gone get you!!!” Some fans took to the replies to put the blame on Cardi B for talking about other people’s children. A quick scroll underneath Offset’s original tweet shows various screenshots in which the “WAP” rapper said “f*ck your kids” to an IG user during a heated exchange.

Offset Told Guilty Parties That God Would Get Them

Insulting statements are not the same as photoshopped images, admittedly. Cardi B and Offset’s outrage over the images has also yielded sympathy from followers and parents. Offset has been vocal about how much his daughters mean to him, in particular. The Migos rapper told Good Morning America that he’s easier on his daughters than his sons. “For my girls, I’m a softy,” he noted. “For boys, I’m a disciplinarian, ’cause I know, like, boy, it’s gonna be tough for you, no matter if you got money.” Offset also featured his daughters on the cover to his 2019 album, Father of 4.

Offset and Cardi B have had some extraordinary differences over the last few months. The couple always had a rocky relationship, but the dirty laundry has been aired with surprising frequency in 2024. The duo went at each other via Instagram, and made grim accusations towards one another. They have, however, presented a unified front when it comes to their kids. When Child Protective Services was called on Cardi B in October, the rapper assured the fans that Offset was not to blame. “He a loser but he didn’t do that,” she said.

NASCAR Icon Danica Patrick Claims She Never Attended Diddy Parties

by

Danica Patrick has been a vocal Donald Trump supporter throughout the 2024 election. The former NASCAR star has used her celebrity to endorse Trump, and criticize those who have put their weight behind Kamala Harris instead. This propensity to criticize the other side was made abundantly clear during a Trump rally in Pennsylvania on Sunday. Danica Patrick took the stage, and implied that she doesn’t have the skeletons in her closet that Harris’ celebrity supporters do.

The public denouncement of Diddy has become a trend among celebrities. The Bad Boy mogul had connections to seemingly everyone of note over the last three decades. Danica Patrick decided to make a Diddy denouncement a political act, however. The retired driver drew a parallel between entertainers who endorse Harris and those who were close with Diddy. “I never went to a Diddy party,” she asserted. “I’m doing this because I love this country. There’s nobody that’s been tested more than Donald Trump on showing his love for this country.” Danica Patrick then proceeded to call out one of Harris’ biggest celebrity supporters: Cardi B.

Danica Patrick Implies Harris Supporters Were Paid Off

Cardi B spoke at Kamala Harris’ rally on November 1. The rapper took to the stage to call Donald Trump a “hustler” and praise Harris as an underdog. Fans praised her words, while critics noted that she read her statement while reading from a phone. This is the point Danica Patrick decided to hone in on during her rally speech. She also suggested that people like Cardi and Beyonce had to be paid to show up and give their support to Harris. “Now I’m speaking. I’m not paid to be here,” the ex-driver asserted. “I don’t have a teleprompter. I’m winging this right now, everybody. I don’t need a telephone.”

Danica Patrick is not the first Trump supporter to align Harris supporters with Diddy affiliates. Elon Musk was particularly incensed when Eminem introduced Barack Obama at a Harris rally in Detroit. The 8 Mile icon made it clear that he was voting Harris, and Musk responded by making a Diddy joke at the rapper’s expense. He claimed Eminem was “yet another Diddy party participant.” This, of course, led many users to note that Musk and Diddy were reportedly close friends, and that Diddy allegedly invested $10 million in Musk’s Twitter acquisition.

Cardi B Clapped Back At Elon Musk’s Kamala Harris Campaign ‘Puppet’ Comment After The Rapper Delivered A Viral Endorsement Speech

Cardi B is facing backlash after vowing not to vote in the 2024 presidential election then later publicly endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris. Although the “Bongos” rapper outlined her shift to supporters, Elon Musk isn’t quite sold.

Yesterday (November 2), Musk took to her personal X (formerly Twitter) page to call out Cardi B. In his post, he accused Cardi B of being a “puppet” for Kamala Harris’ 2024 presidential campaign. Never one to back down from a war of words, Cardi B clapped by at Musk’s remarks.

“I’m not a puppet Elon,” she wrote. I’m a daughter of two immigrant parents that had to work their ass off to provide for me! I’m a product of welfare, I’m a product of section 8, I’m a product of poverty, and I’m a product of what happens when the system is set up against you.”

But Cardi B didn’t stop. She went on to turn the pages on Musk, writing: “But you don’t know nothing about that. You don’t know not one thing about the American struggle.”

Cardi closed with “PS fix my algorithm,” a dig at the controversial way Musk has been running the platform since acquiring Twitter back in October 2022.

While Cardi has faced much harsher remarks in the past, Musk should be weary of his words considering he is already facing a cyberbullying lawsuit filed by boxer Imane Khelif.

Cardi B Explained Her Endorsement Of Kamala Harris After Previously Saying She ‘Wasn’t Going To Vote’ This Year

Cardi B has had a change of heart. After vowing to never publicly support a politician, yesterday (November 1) the “Enough (Miami)” rapper delivered an endorsement speech at Vice President Kamala Harris‘ rally in West Allis, Wisconsin.

In front of the packed Wisconsin State Fair Park Exposition Center crowd, Cardi B detailed why she decided to endorse Harris (viewable here). This show of support came as a surprise after the Grammy Award winner announced that she would not vote in the 2024 presidential election. The reasons for Cardi B’s support of Harris is women’s rights, the economy, healthcare and his distrust of former president Donald Trump.

“[Harris] changed my mind completely,” she said. “I did not have faith for any candidate until she joined the race and said the things that I wanted to hear — things I want to see next in this country. I believe in every word that comes out of her mouth; she’s passionate, she’s compassionate, she shows empathy, and most of all, she is not delusional.”

Back in 2020, Cardi endorsed President Joe Biden. However, in recent years, she’s been vocal about her disappointment in him. When Biden elected to drop out of the 2024 presidential race, Cardi B reminded her supporters of her stance.

Cardi B used a part of speech to slam Trump, saying: “Donny Dump, if your definition of protection is making sure our daughters have fewer rights than their mothers, then I don’t want it.”

Cardi B Calls Donald Trump A “Hustler” During Kamala Harris Rally

Cardi B has politically outspoken for most of her career. While her politics rarely show in her music, the rapper has made a point of endorsing various Democratic politicians over the years. She kept this streak intact during the campaign rally on November 1. Cardi B took the stage in Milwaukee and made it crystal clear that she was endorsing Kamala Harris for president. The rapper not only praised Harris for what she represents, but she criticized Donald Trump for what he represents.

“Hustler” is a term that’s been utilized positively in hip hop, but Cardi B made it clear that she was not in support of Donald Trump’s hustle. In fact, she’s diametrically opposed to everything the former president wants to do. “Donald Trump is a hustler,” she asserted. “Who is trying to hustle women out of their rights and hustle Americans out of their money.” The rapper also rattled off the things that Trump stands for, in her estimation. “He’s selling more than watches and sneakers,” she said. “He’s selling bigotry, misogyny, division, chaos, and confusion.”

Cardi B Also Dubbed Donald Trump A ‘Bully’

Cardi B made it clear that she has been itching to speak against Trump for a long time. She said as much to the campaign rally audience. “I do not take lightly the call to show up,” she assured. “The call to speak up, the call to deliver a message that has been on my heart for a hot minute now.” In addition to labeling Trump a “hustler,” Cardi B called the former president a “bully” who needed to be stood up to. She feels Kamala Harris is the right person for the job. She even likened herself to Harris, noting that both are often perceived as underdogs.

Cardi B is the latest musical superstar to throw her support behind Harris. Eminem appeared at the Harris rally in his native Detroit. He even introduced former president Barack Obama. Then Beyonce brought the house down when she endorsed Harris at a campaign rally in Houston. None of these artists have performed, but they have used their words to both champion Harris and knock Trump. Eminem, in particular, made it clear that he believes Harris will preserve the liberties of the U.S. that Trump is trying to take away.

Over the decades, Halloween’s meaning has changed drastically. Today, the holiday is largely about expressing creativity. For entertainers like Heidi Klum and Janelle Monáe, that sometimes means hours of prosthetic and special effects makeup. But they aren’t the only celebrities that take the day especially seriously.

Cardi B Issues A Warning To Armon Wiggins

by

In a now-deleted X (formerly Twitter) Spaces rant, Cardi B warned YouTuber Armon Wiggins to stop disrespecting her. Wiggins, whose channel has over 200,000 subscribers, specializes in drama, primarily in the women’s hip-hop space. Cardi’s rant came after Wiggins called her “fake” and “phony” for endorsing presidential hopeful and sitting Vice President Kamala Harris. Cardi viewed this as the last straw for Wiggins, who she feels has repeatedly antagonized her on social media, even after multiple private conversations regarding her issues with his coverage.

“I’m not gonna keep letting somebody think that they can disrespect me, they can bully me and they can keep trying me,” Cardi B said. “Especially when I have conversations with them, when I have conversations with them as an adult. ‘Cause if you don’t respect me being a f***ing adult, that means I gotta motherf***ing treat you how I motherf***ing treat people in the motherf***ing streets. And that is a motherf***ing fact.”

Cardi B Tears Into YouTuber Armon Wiggins

“You not gonna keep f***ing playing with me,” Cardi B continued. “And that s**t is coming from me. Not nobody else but from f***ing me. And I’m letting you know. And I’m not doing no f***ing me Twitter s**t. I’m not arguing with nobody. I’m not piping nobody up. Stop f***ing me playing with me! Leave me the f**k alone! ‘Cause I promise you, on my kids, every time you go out, people tell me where you at. At that time too! But I don’t be giving a f###. Don’t let me get there! ‘Cause you keep f***ing me playing with me … Stop f***ing playing with me! ‘Cause I be sparing n****s. Not sparing n****s on the argument s**t, sparing n****s in real life.” She also referenced her gang ties, telling Wiggins to “stop playing with the Brim.”

Armon Wiggins apologized to Cardi B shortly after in a post to X. “I don’t want no problems y’all got it,” Wiggins said. “We gone get it without being attached to a controversial headline.. as a MAN @iamcardib if you feel like I ever used derogatory words towards you I apologize.. I don’t wanna fight girl I’m off it.” Cardi B’s endorsement of Vice President Harris is not a surprising development. In 2019, she publicly supported Vermont senator Bernie Sanders in his campaign for the presidency, before endorsing Joe Biden after he officially became the Democratic Party’s nominee for president ahead of the 2020 election. When asked about her political affiliation in a May interview with Rolling Stone, she condemned both Biden and Harris for funding Israel’s acts of violence against Palestine. It seems that her stance has softened enough to endorse Harris ahead of her scheduled appearance at her Milwaukee campaign rally on Friday.

Randy Orton Only Listens To Female Rappers When Working Out: ‘They Get My Blood Pumping’

There are few things more important to getting a good workout in than having the right playlist. Having the right soundtrack is vital for most people to getting maximum output, and sometimes what you need in the gym varies by what you’re doing — for example, cardio and weights might need different genres.

Everyone’s taste is a bit different, which is why there’s few things worse than forgetting headphones when going to the gym and having to listen to whatever they’ve got playing over the speakers. That is, unless you have your own fully built out home gym and can pick the music blasting through the speakers, as is the case for WWE superstar Randy Orton. The 44-year-old has been in WWE for more than two decades, and he looks like the kind of guy that is likely playing something pretty heavy in the gym.

However, as he recently explained to Sheamus in his home gym, he goes to a different genre and is far more up to date on his playlist than you’d expect. The Viper is all about the ladies when it comes to the gym, explaining that he has “an extensive female rap artist playlist” rattling off everyone from Megan Thee Stallion to GloRilla and fellow St. Louis native (and WWE fan) Sexxy Red.

It’s clearly not the answer Sheamus was expecting, but as Orton explained, “they get my blood pumpin, what can I say.” I think my only follow-up questions would be what did Randy used to listen to in the gym back in the day and when was he introduced to some of these artists, because he’s been in the gym for decades and I’d be fascinated to know when he figured out that Cardi B and Nicki Minaj got the blood going and the muscles firing in just the right way.

Cardi B Is ‘In The Hospital Recovering From A Medical Emergency,’ She Revealed While Canceling A Festival Performance

One MusicFest is going down in Atlanta this weekend, and Cardi B was announced as one of the headliners. Well, there’s been a change of plans, as Cardi will no longer be able to perform due to a “medical emergency.”

In a post shared on social media yesterday (October 23), Cardi wrote, “I am so sad to share this news, but I’ve been in the hospital recovering from a medical emergency the last couple of days and I wont be able to perform at ONE MusicFest. It breaks my heart that I won’t get to see my fans this weekend and I really wish I could be there. Bardi Gang – thank you for understanding and I’ll be back better and stronger soon. Don’t worry. Love yall.”

Cardi has not revealed the nature of the “medical emergency” that landed her in the hospital.

Meanwhile, Cardi has been hard at work on her next album, the long-awaited follow-up to 2018’s Invasion Of Privacy. She recently said, “I’m also in LA because I have to do something pertaining the album. I know you guys are gonna be like, ‘What the f*ck, b*tch?’ But it’s something that’s gonna be done really f*cking quick. It’s just gonna be a one-two. I did it when I was pregnant, and nothing came out how I wanted it to come out, so we gotta do it again. […] Album is coming really, really soon, announcements is coming really really soon. Things are getting more done now! I’m not pregnant no more.”
