It looks like the ladies are beefing, again. Cardi B and Akbar V have had their fair share of issues over the past few months, though things appeared to die down. For the most part, Akbar attempted to use the feud as leverage for her rap career, though that didn’t necessarily work the way she likely hoped for. The explosive feud between the two began when Nicki enlisted Akbar for the “Super Freaky Girl” remix – a huge look for the Atlanta star. However, she took it a step further and decided to take on Nicki’s beef, as well.
The feud later included shots at Offset and his alleged affairs over the years but Cardi B quickly shut her down. The Migos rapper later found himself involved as Akbar brought up his alleged feud with Lil Baby and the 4PF crew. She accused the rapper of blowing up her phone before calling him out for suing Quality Control and Pierre Thomas. The entire thing spun out of control with Cardi later sharing an alleged photo of Akbar performing fellatio on a man.
Just when Cardi B found herself facing backlash for her response to the Dalai Lama’s video, Akbar V issued a tweet that some perceived to be towards Cardi. “You ain’t start not one and I mean not one trend,” Akbar tweeted. Though it was relatively vague, Bardi Gang piled on and called her out for the subs. Some even pointed out that Akbar hasn’t started any trends, either, but she didn’t necessarily fixate on that flaw in her argument.
Eventually, Cardi B fired back in another subliminal tweet. “If i post this video b*tches will be crying,” she wrote. “BUWOOOOOOOOOOOPP.” It didn’t take long for Akbar V to fire back, dragging Offset into the mess, again, and suggesting that she’s in possession of inappropriate videos involving the Migos rapper. “If I show this [movie camera emoji] of hubbbbbyyyyyy,” she wrote with a slew of laughing emojis. So far, it seems like their feud hasn’t escalated any further but we’ll keep you posted on anymore updates surrounding their beef.
Cardi B has always been open about her thoughts, even when they turn out to be controversial. Sometimes, that means defending herself when her words are used against her, as she did on Instagram, addressing her criminal past of “drugging and robbing” strip club customers following her tweets responding to a news item involving some questionable behavior on the part of the Dalai Lama.
The Tibetan spiritual issued an apology to a young boy’s family that showed him kissing the boy and allegedly telling him to suck his tongue. Cardi B seemingly responded to the news by tweeting a warning that “this world is full of predators.” In it, she gave some advice to parents: “Constantly talk with your kids about boundaries and what they shouldn’t allow people to do to them.”
This world is full of predators. They prey on the innocent. The ones who are most unknowing, our children. Predators could be our neighbors, our school teachers, even people wit money ,power & our churches. Constantly talk with your kids about boundaries and what they shouldn’t…

However, after she tweeted this and the story was picked up by Instagram gossip accounts, the comments were apparently riddled with users cutting her down for admitting to robbing drugged men when she worked at a New York strip club years ago (a la the Jennifer Lopez film Hustlers — which Cardi also had a cameo in).
I gotta get off the internet…shit is insane !!! I’m getting dragged up and down because I’m telling parents to be careful on people that prey on children…it’s craziness.
— Cardi B (@iamcardib) April 10, 2023
Cardi went Live on Instagram to address the commentary, pointing out the difference between sneaking cash from sleazy customers and urging small children to commit inappropriate acts. “Y’all not gonna keep doing this,” she said. “For y’all to said that I’m some predator… because n****s wanted to buy some p*ssy from me? … These weren’t no vulnerable men… Did I touch their body?… No. Robbing and raping is two different type of sh*ts.”

She also shot down people calling her “the wrong messenger,” due to her experiences with motherhood and being abused as a teen. Meanwhile, over on Twitter, Cardi offered her final thoughts on the subject: “Wow all this support I’m getting at the same time is beautiful. It was deep in my heart to talk about this cause me & my friend was talkin last night & then the dalai lama thing happen this morning …Thank you everyone..I just have to realize the people attacking me are just projecting.”

Cardi B is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.
As a mother of two, it’s no surprise that Cardi B is one of the millions of social media users expressing disgust over a circulating video of the Dalai Lama and a young boy. In the viral clip, the religious leader kisses a young child standing before him. He was also seeking to have his tongue sucked – a decision which he’s since issued an apology over. “His Holiness often teases people he meets in an innocent and playful way, even in public and before cameras,” a statement from his office on Monday (April 10) reads. “[The Dalai Lama] wishes to apologize to the boy and his family, as well as his many friends across the world, for the hurt his words may have caused,” they added, noting their leader’s “regret” over the incident.
Even with the apology, people all across the world are expressing disappointment and disgust online. For her part, Cardi used Twitter to speak her mind this morning, writing, “This world is full of predators. They prey on the innocent. The ones who are most unknowing, our children. Predators could be our neighbours, our school teachers, even people [with] money, power, and our churches.” The rap diva also reminded parents out there to “Constantly talk with [their] kids about boundaries and what they shouldn’t” let others do.
The message was eventually reposted from the New Yorker’s Twitter to @theneighborhoodtalk on Instagram. After watching the comments fill with hot takes , Cardi dropped by to share more thoughts on the controversy. “How are y’all bringing up a situation from my past when GROWN ASS DRUNK MEN were trying to take advantage of me and finesse me out my body because I said protect ya kids from predators?” she asked. “Like do y’all want them to get preyed on or something..? PROTECT OUR KIDS and let them know not to let anyone touch their private parts.”
The Invasion of Privacy artist additionally added, “Don’t let no one kiss them in their mouth. And always feel comfortable letting mommy and daddy know what happens. If you find a problem wit that then I’m side-eyeing you.” Keep scrolling to read more of Cardi B’s thoughts on the Dalai Lama’s viral tongue-sucking video, and share your own musings in the comments below.
As Chlöe’s debut solo album In Pieces finds its way onto the Billboard charts, the rising star’s new movie Praise This is now streaming on Peacock. The movie, which follows a gospel praise team as they enter a national competition, features a number of gospel covers of pop and R&B hits, including a cleaned-up version of Cardi B’s 2018 hit “Money” by contemporary Christian singer Koryn Hawthorne.

Where Cardi’s original version celebrates getting “Money,” Hawthorne adds religious messaging but keeps the spirited flow that took the original all the way to No. 13 on the Billboard Hot 100. Hawthorne celebrated the film’s release with a tweet capturing Cardi’s reaction to hearing the remix in the studio. In the video, Cardi can be seen beaming from ear to ear as she throws her hands and sings along to the revamped lyrics.
@iamcardib approved !
my girl said she really felt the spirit
Y’all check out my version of money in the movie #PraiseThis ! pic.twitter.com/JcnqheDTue

Praise This is getting a more uniformly positive reception from fans than In Pieces did; it’s likely that the gospel-centric film resonates more strongly with the tastes of many of Chlöe’s earliest supporters. (Chlöe made her film debut in her mentor Beyoncé’s similarly gospel-inspired film Fighting Temptations, and that first impression has clearly stuck with fans who aren’t feeling the young singer’s shift to a more mainstream sound.)
Chlöe addressed that criticism recently on her hometown radio, positing that her loudest critics actually weren’t around for her and her sister Halle’s humble beginnings. The truth is, many artists often face harsh criticisms as they grow creatively, and if anything, it’s a sign that people are truly invested. That’s a good sign for Chlöe’s burgeoning career, as it means no matter what direction she decides to pursue, she’s at least guaranteed a captive audience.
Praise This is out now on Peacock. In Pieces is also out now via Parkwood Entertainment and Columbia Records. Find more information here.
Cardi B’s net worth is a hot topic among fans. Let’s start with her attempt to turn “okurrr” into a trademark. Everyone knows irrefutably that the catchphrase “okurrr” would have changed the game if had it become a trademark. Its inability to secure a slot in her story did not stop Cardi from moving forward. Grocery stores couldn’t either! Later, she also addressed a troll who claimed she was worth $40 Million. “I’m worth more than that,” she fired back. It’s alleged that her net worth is somewhere around $80 million.
Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar Cephus, who has soared to become Cardi B, wasn’t born with a silver spoon. She has, however, impressed the world by becoming one of the world’s top-selling rappers. Presumably, when viewers saw her in Love & Hip Hop: New York, they didn’t understand the talent she possessed. Many rise to taste the limelight but cannot sustain the lifestyle. Her decision to leave the show for a music career was clear-sighted. Now let’s see how she makes the dough.
Following the release of Gangsta Bitch Music in two volumes, Cardi signed a deal with Atlantic Records. Boom! She unleashed “Bodak Yellow,” raising the bars and shooting up the cash. Billboard’s Hot 100 applauded the track, ranking it at No. 85 only a week after its release. “Bodak Yellow” would later top the charts. Cardi beat Lauryn Hill’s record by maintaining this rank for almost a month.
Music’s major leagues soon joined the cheer, including the Recording Academy. It’s safe to say that a complete dossier on Cardi B’s awards can motivate and, well, illuminate. Cardi B is more “moneybag” than her art by a mile. If she could accrue this much within eight relevant years, what would be her net worth in 2035? Provided she keeps up the rocket pace, she might, in due time, join the club of billionaire rappers. That is by no means a grandiose forecast: $1 Million for a 35-minute performance??
A handful of Cardi B songs have been featured in film soundtracks. Notably, You and Grand Army. In addition to that, she sometimes gravitates toward the silver screen itself. She bagged a lead and then let it go, perhaps, her shrewdest money move (literally). She was to play Amber in Paramount’s Assisted Living, and almost did but packed it in on short notice.
“How can you write a movie about strippers and not put Cardi B in it?” Preach! Written and directed by Lorene Scafaria, Hustlers was Cardi B’s first official movie. A follow-up, however stale, was Cardi B’s role in Fast 9. It may have been a small part, but the cast and crew were excited to have the rapper’s inclusion.
There’s another category we should think about when we type about this Grammy winner. Her streams of income outside music and film are lucrative. Cardi has also secured fat endorsement deals. When you see your cat wearing cobalt blue lipstick, know that Cardi B was the inspo! She partnered with Tom Ford for her own lipstick that reportedly sold out in 24 hours.
Additionally, Cardi’s brand deals have upped her net worth. Her likeness is attached to several multi-million-dollar businesses, including Playboy, Fashion Nova, Reebok, Mcdonald’s, and more. Her OnlyFans page, which hosts tens of millions of followers, has also been lucrative, helping the rapper amass a pretty penny. These deals are just the surface of money moves the “WAP” star has accumulated. There’s much more Cardi B to come in the future, so stay tuned for what she has on the horizon—it’s sure to stack cash.
Rapper Cardi B just revealed she’s still earning “millions” of dollars from her debut album, Invasion of Privacy.
The Bronx beauty celebrated with her team who congratulated her on the success of the fifth anniversary of her Grammy-winning debut LP.
In a video posted to her Instagram Stories, Cardi is seen in the studio with her producer, J. White Did It, and engineer, Evan LaRay, as she reacts to receiving a bottle of wine, strawberry-laced cupcakes and a cake reading: “Happy 5th Anniversary!”
“What my team got me, guys!” Cardi exclaims in the clip. “Yeah! Five years! I’m still getting booked for millions of dollars with one muthafuckin’ album, bitch! Yeah, wassup? Ain’t nobody can tell me nothing,” she adds with a laugh.
