Cardi B And Offset’s Cheeky McDonald’s Merch Keeps Things Simple And Romantic

The Cardi B and Offset McDonald’s meal is upon us and you know what that means: exclusive, co-branded merch. This time around, it looks like the Golden Arches has decided to keep things simple with easy-to-manufacture apparel like T-shirts, hoodies, hats, and shorts. It appears that lessons were learned from the supply chain debacle with J Balvin’s more out-there options, but you do kind of wish Cardi and Set got the chance to go as crazy as Travis Scott did — if only to see what they’d come up with.

As it is, the options continue the lovey-dovey vibe of the overall concept; the T-shirts say goofy things like “nice buns,” the hoodies bear profiles of Cardi and Set saluting each other with sandwiches and McD’s “I’m lovin’ it” catchphrase, and the shorts are suitably cheek-baring for lounging around the house, as the couple can often be seen doing on social media. All in all, a 7/10 for the collection. It’s solid but you really do miss oddball add-ons like throw rugs, ashtrays, and chicken McNugget body pillows (bring them back, Mickey Ds!)

By all reports, the Cardi B And Offset Meal is selling well, and Cardi’s spent the past few days reposting fans’ pics of the meal — although she did take a break to show off some of her own photos from the couple’s Valentine’s vacation.

Cardi B Reacts To Instagram’s New GIF Feature, Says “The Twitter Ghettos” Is Where It Belongs

by

In order to keep up with their competitors, social media platforms are constantly launching new updates in hopes of satisfying current users and attracting new ones. In particular, Instagram has released several over the years that have helped elevate their platform. Among them are borrowing Snapchat’s concept of Stories to keeping up with TikTok via Reels. Most recently, they’re attempting to introduce GIFs in an exciting way.

Users have already been able to send the animated images back and forth in their DMs. Now, IG will allow them to respond to both Stories and feed posts with them. This feature is already popular on Twitter, where many use GIFs to their comedic advantage. According to Cardi B, Elon Musk’s app may be where the antics should stay.

On Friday (February 16) evening, the New Yorker wrote, “I know them GIFs ain’t hitting like they hit in the Twitter ghettos.” Her tweet has since earned nearly 7K likes, as well as hundreds of replies agreeing with her. “They need to be original and stick to comments only,” one fan account said.

In response to that, another page chimed in, “Instagram is NEVER original. They don’t know if they want to be TikTok or Twitter [at this point].” Elsewhere, someone else pointed out that IG hasn’t hit the same since they began prioritizing video content. “It’s so ghetto, Instagram needs to go back to pictures!” they demanded.

She’s obviously not be loving Instagram’s newest feature. Still, her followers on the app certainly ate up Cardi’s Super Bowl weekend outfits. During her time on stage, the mother of two put on a tantalizing display in a revealing metallic mini-dress. She also stepped out in Chanel and a pair of Loubitons on game day, though that look wasn’t exactly practical for the event.

On her Story last weekend, the rap diva posted a comedic clip of her and Offset awkwardly running through an Arizona parking lot. At the time, they were attempting to catch Rihanna’s Halftime Show, though Bardi’s footwear proved to be something of a problem. Read more about that here, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.

Cardi B Reckons The ‘Twitter Ghettos’ Is A Better Place For Instagram’s New Feature

The social media world is cutthroat in terms of different platforms trying to compete with each other, to either stay relevant or increase their market share. One way to gain an edge is by introducing new features, which Instagram understands: they’re currently rolling out a new feature allowing users to comment on posts and Stories with animated GIF images.

As for how the feature is being received, it appears Cardi B isn’t quite sold yet. On Twitter last night (February 16), she wrote, “I don’t know them gifs ain’t hitting like they hit in the twitter ghettos.”

As for how to make use of GIFs on Instagram, 91mobiles explains, “To reply with a GIF, users have to type the keyword of the GIF they’re searching for in the ‘Send Message’ or comment box and then tap the GIF icon that appears. A series of GIFs from GIPHY’s library will be presented to users based on the search phrase. The feature is being rolled out in phases and should be available to all shortly.”

Speaking of Instagram Stories, Cardi took to hers recently to reveal that she nearly missed Rihanna’s Super Bowl halftime show.

Remy Ma Responds To Cardi B Trolling Nicki Minaj With Her Picture

by

Remy Ma somehow got dragged into Nicki Minaj and Cardi B’s Twitter spat last year. Though Nicki’s feud with both individuals is well-documented, it became clear that she and Cardi will likely never see eye-to-eye. In the midst of the Bronx rapper’s feud with City Girls rapper JT, Nicki switched her profile picture to the Miami rapper as a sign of solidarity. In response, Cardi B switched her profile picture to Remy Ma, who previously had issues with Nicki Minaj. 

It was a petty move that found the “Up” rapper and the Young Money artist back at odds. However, things took another turn afterward when Nicki took a jab at Cardi’s pen game. Though it’s no secret that Cardi gets assistance with her raps, the “Do We Have A Problem?” rapper shared a photo of a neon “Nicki” sign with a pen held in front of her first “i.” However, Nicki has since changed her picture from JT’s image while Remy Ma remains Cardi B’s avi.

Remy Ma Responds

During her recent appearance on Jason Lee’s The Jason Lee Show, Remy Ma reflected on Cardi changing her profile picture in the midst of her feud with JT. Though Lee explained it was evident why Cardi chose her image, he stated that they’re all “so petty.” “I ain’t even do nothin’,” Remy replied before Lee suggested she caught a sub in the midst of the feud. “I ain’t catch a stray, hold up, be clear,” she replied. She added that she was at home, watching the whole thing unfold like the rest of us.

Remy Ma explained that she didn’t care about the whole incident, but apparently, there were some people in her fanbase that were aggravated by Cardi’s move. Remy explained that some people tried to reach out to Twitter with claims that Cardi was impersonating the “All The Way Up” rapper. Still, Remy said it’s all love since she and Cardi go back years. “I fuck with Cardi,” Remy said. “She from the Bronx.” Peep the clip above and sound off with your thoughts in the comment section below.

Offset’s known to spoil Cardi B on Valentine’s Day and other holidays. Last year, the rapper showed out with an elaborate floral arrangement and a rose sculpture. Each year, he levels up and Cardi never fails to show her gratitude for his efforts. Similarly, he ensures he goes all out for her birthdays and Christmas. It feels like he’s just as much of a fan of surprising Cardi B as she appreciates the effort he puts into his romantic gestures.

This year wasn’t entirely different, though they kicked off it off during Super Bowl weekend. The couple starred in McDonald’s new campaign that unveiled the Cardi B and Offset meal. The promotional dinner marked McDonald’s first campaign with a celebrity couple. The date-night meal is made up of Cardi and Offset’s go-to meals. For Cardi, there’s a cheeseburger, barbecue sauce, and large Coke while ‘Set orders a large Hi-C and a quarter pounder with cheese. Additionally, there’s a large fries and Apple pie to split.

The rapper hit the ‘Gram with a photo dump of his Valentine’s Day, including the large floral arrangement he got for Cardi. The first photo shows the Bronx rapper surrounded by roses, including a teddy bear made of flowers, as she smells a bouquet of roses and shows off her backside in a black thong.

“She my little ghetto princess,” he captioned the post. the rest of the slide includes a glimpse of his gifts to Cardi, including a number of Birkin and Chanel bags, as well as a recent trip to New York during the launch of their McDonald’s meal. Though many fans praised Cardi B and Offset, Mega Meezy, 21 Savage’s manager, poked fun at ‘Set’s efforts. “Why u gotta make it hard for us regular N***as Bruh? Lol,” Meezy wrote.

Cardi B Makes A Request That Only Offset Can Answer In Her Alluring Valentine’s Day Photos

It’s no secret that Cardi B and her husband Offset are one of rap’s more touchy-feely couples — and that’s kind of an understatement. In reality, the couple can’t keep their hands off of each other, putting on public displays of affection anywhere the mood strikes. That even includes the Grammys red carpet and Super Bowl commercial for their joint meal at McDonald’s.

So of course, Valentine’s Day is more or less their unofficial holiday. And while Cardi’s timeline for the majority of the day was made up of promotional retweets for the aforementioned McDonald’s meal, she made sure to get a few fit pics up ahead of the holiday with a special request for her hubby. “Excuse me …..can I sit on top of you?” she captioned the photos, which captured her arrival at their hotel, the spectacular view, and her glistening jewelry.

And although she hasn’t quite shared the couple’s plans, apparently, things went well:

The couple had been keeping things low-key for the last couple of months as Cardi comforted Offset in the wake of the death of his bandmate and family member Takeoff. However, that hasn’t stopped Cardi from teasing fans with her first album in five years. That’ll be one gift we can all appreciate.

Cardi B’s Curves Looked Phenomenal In All Her Super Bowl Weekend Fits

by

Rapping is obviously what she does for a living, but as she’s risen to the top of the industry, Cardi B has also made a name for herself as a fashionista. Over the years we’ve seen the mother of two sitting front row at various fashion week events around the world. Additionally, she’s stepped out in dramatic designer style for the Met Gala on more than one occasion.

In theory, the focus of Super Bowl weekend should be football. Instead, many of those who flew to Glendale, Arizona to watch the game were actually there to take in Rihanna’s triumphant return to the stage. Adele and H.E.R. both spoke candidly about their excitement for the singer’s Halftime show. Elsewhere, social media hasn’t been able to stop raving about it since.

Cardi B was undeniably eager to see the Bad Gal do her thing. As it turns out, she nearly missed the concert. In a video posted to her Instagram Story, the “Hot Shit” hitmaker awkwardly runs through a parking lot wearing sky-high heels. As she desperately tries to not miss out on the main event, her husband, Offset, slowly jogged beside her. Due to their hilarious antics, the couple was heavily clowned on social media.

As the trolls continue to poke fun, the New Yorker remains unbothered. On Monday (February 13) she dropped off a photo dump of her Super Bowl outfit. Of course, she flaunts the platform shoes that famously slowed her down. “Excuse me… Can I sit on top of you?” she wrote in the caption of her post, earning her over two million double taps.

Besides her bright pink heels, Cardi also donned a pair of tight, dark blue jeans and a navy Chanel sweater. She carried her essentials in a quilted pink bag to match her shoes. Things were tied together with a sleek pair of sunglasses shading her eyes. Instead of her usual long black hair, the Hustlers actress switched things up with a blonde curly ‘do.

Later on in the post, the 30-year-old showed off another of her Super Bowl outfits. This one also saw her looking pretty in pink, sporting a curve-hugging Chanel mini-dress. Accessories include a small purse in the same colour and a silver sparkly Vivienne Westwood dogbone necklace. Additionally, her dark hair made a return for the iconic fashion moment. She certainly didn’t hesitate to flaunt her endless inches while strutting down the hotel hallway.

Elsewhere in Arizona, Cardi B performed at the same venue as Drake on Friday night. When Saturday rolled around, she recruited Offset to join her as they prepared the audience for Sunday’s events. Check out photos from the couple’s concert below, let us know which of the rap starlet’s favourite looks was in the comments.

Cardi B Ran (As Well As She Could In Heels) To Make It To Rihanna’s Super Bowl Halftime Show In A Hilarious Video

The Super Bowl is the biggest sporting event of the year in the United States. Pair that with the fact that Rihanna performed the halftime show this year, and it must have been a real challenge to actually get to the stadium for those lucky/rich enough to have tickets. It seems like that was the case for Cardi B and Offset, as the two ended up running in an effort to not miss Rihanna’s performance.

In a video shared on Cardi’s Instagram Story last night (February 12), Cardi and Offset are seen running to get into the stadium. It wasn’t a particularly fast run, though, as Cardi was wearing high heels that made speedy travel a challenge.

It appears their effort paid off, though, as it was apparently a really close call for them: In another Instagram Story video, Cardi films the start of the performance and exclaims, “We just made it on time.” She also offered some general excitement and cheering in other clips.

That wasn’t Cardi and Offset’s only Super Bowl presence this year. The pair just launched their own meal at McDonald’s and had a commercial for it during the game. The menu item is named after them and includes a cheeseburger, Quarter Pounder with cheese, barbecue sauce, large fries, an apple pie, a large Hi-C, and a large Coke.
