Cardi B Delivers New Video for "Enough (Miami)"

If you were looking for Cardi B’s album this summer, stop looking. Cardi announced her 2024 plans and new music is not part of them.

Interacting with fans online, Cardi revealed she agreed with a fan who stated she should pull back from social media platforms due to feeling “unappreciated” for online interactions.

Then she dropped the reveal: “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.”

Just as a note, Invasion of Privacy dropped in 2018. You can see Cardi’s messages below courtesy of Hip-HopDX.

Last month, Missy Elliott encouraged Cardi B to let her album fly. Hitting X, Missy also encouraged Cardi to experiment as Bardi said she was nervous but trusting her ears.

“Yeup!!! I’m a little nervous… but I don’t care! I’m liking doing things that my ears want to listen to and reflecting the moods I been in. It feels good,” she said.

Cardi’s last single, “Enough (Miami),” cracked into the top 10 at No. 9. The record, which fans have been anticipating to hear new music from the Bronx emcee, marked Cardi’s 12th entry into the Top 10. The single scored nearly 15 million streams and 8.8 million radio audience impressions.

Diddy Accuser Lil Rod Drops High Profile Music Exec Names From Sexual Assault Lawsuit

Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones, the producer who named several people and companies in his initial sexual assault lawsuit against music mogul Sean “DIddy” Combs a few months ago, has reportedly removed several high-profile defendants from his lawsuit against the head Bad Boy.

The original lawsuit listed Universal Music Group and its chairman Sir Lucian Grainge as defendants because they had “aided and abetted” Puffy in his alleged sexual abuse. Jones has now taken those names off of the suit, as well as that of Motown Recordings and those names that have now been removed cannot be refiled.

Attorney for Lil Rod, Tyrone Blackburn, said in a sworn statement filed in court, “Based on my examination of all of the papers submitted in support of both motions to dismiss, which addressed the issues I had, I have concluded that there is no legal basis for the claims and allegations that were made against the UMG Defendants.” He added, “As such, I have determined that the proper course of action is for all of the claims and all of the allegations to be withdrawn immediately.”

Grainge, UMG and Motown had already tried to get Jones’ suit against them dismissed, stating, “All of the claims against Grainge, Motown and UMG Recordings (the ‘UMG Defendants’) in the [second amended complaint] are lacking in any legally cognizable basis.”

Diddy Shares Message on Instagram: ‘Time Tells Truth’

Sean 'Diddy' Combs Rebrands Combs Enterprises to Combs Global as Business Portfolio Expands

Diddy posted a new message on Instagram. In the post, titled “LOVE,” Diddy shared an image that says, “Time tells truth.”

In recent Diddy news, this past April, Raven Wales-Walden, a former nanny for the mogul, withdrew her pregnancy discrimination lawsuit related to her termination in 2021. Initially filed in September 2022 in Los Angeles Superior Court, the lawsuit also accused Combs Enterprises LLC and three other companies of retaliation and state Labor Code violations.

According to MyNewsLA, on April 2, Wales-Walden’s attorney submitted court documents to Judge Maureen Duffy-Lewis requesting the dismissal of her complaint “with prejudice,” barring its re-filing. The reasons for withdrawing the case are not specified in the court filing.

According to an amended complaint filed in April 2023, Wales-Walden had a close relationship with the late Kim Porter, Combs’ former partner and mother of his twin daughters. Initially hired as Porter’s assistant in September 2018, Wales-Walden later became a full-time nanny to Porter’s daughters at Combs’ request following Porter’s death in November 2018.

The amended complaint highlighted Wales-Walden’s significant role in the children’s lives and her commitment to honoring Porter’s memory by accepting Combs’ offer. While the reasons behind the lawsuit’s withdrawal remain undisclosed, this development marks the conclusion of a legal dispute that attracted attention due to its high-profile nature.
