Cardi B has already dropped two new singles this year and is gearing up to drop her long awaited second album. But one of her most talked about performances may actually be a guest appearance on an already established hit. That came when she teamed up with Flo Milli and SZA for a special version of “Never Lose Me” that landed on Milli’s new album Fine Ho, Stay. The song was already a hit from earlier this year, partially propelled by a remix with Lil Yachty. This week it sits at number 34 on the Hot 100 and it’s expected to rise back up the charts with the new remix.
Despite the success of the song, Cardi B remembers people’s initial reaction to it. In a video she recently shared to her Instagram story she calls out the haters who claimed she wouldn’t “fit in” on the song. The evidence she brings up is pretty hard to dispute. She mentions the hundreds of thousands of people using her audio from the song on TikTok as evidence that people like the song. The track has already racked up more than 5 million streams on Spotify in a week as well. Check out the video of Cardi refuting fan critiques below.
In the comments fans can’t help but crack up at the video. “i love how she just walking around Target on live like it’s nothing” one of the top comments on the post reads. “Keep doing you Cardi!! Don’t worry about what nobody thinks!” another comment reads.
Cardi has dropped two singles so far this year in the lead up to her new album. “Like What (Freestyle)” came first last month and was followed by “Enough (Miami)” last week. What do you think of Cardi B’s response to fans who thought she wouldn’t fit in on “Never Lose Me? ” Do you think the version of the song with her and SZA is better than the original? Let us know in the comment section below.
Every year, some of the biggest stars in rap and R&B gather in one place. Over the weekend that place was Los Angeles for the 2024 Rolling Loud LA Festival. With four big-name headliners and dozens of beloved supporting acts, everybody got a taste of something they love during the festival. While everyone goes to music festivals for different artists and different reasons, these were some of the best sets of the weekend that brought both energy and theatricality to the festival stage.
For a lot of artists, the spectacle is as much a part of the show as anything else. That was definitely the case right out of the gate for Summer’s Saturday Night performance at the GoPuff stage. With an impressive live band and array of backup dancers she made her presence known instantly upon arrival. But unlike some of the weekend’s other most theatrical performances, there was actually substance underneath the flash.
Throughout her set, Walker brushed through numerous fan favorites as well as some of her newest material. Throughout, Walker’s vocals were stunning, consistently soaring above the live instrumentation. Her performance was strong enough to reach the dramatic peaks of some of her most dramatic sonic moments and it made the set an absolute delight.
Rolling Loud has a reputation for virality. That often comes from huge moments where the biggest names in hip-hop take an absolutely massive stage to show off their sheer force of star power. The only set of the entire weekend that lived up to that level of grandiosity was the Sunday night headlining slot of Future and Metro Boomin. The two superstars closed out the entire festival with a career-spanning performance that lived up to the promise of Rolling Loud.
Just a few weeks ago the pair confirmed that they have two new albums on the way very soon. Throughout the set, they continually promised that it was going to be some of the best music of the year. From what they performed live, many fans agreed, In particular, when the duo had fellow stars Travis Scott and Playboi Carti join them on stage it made for one of the best and most talked about moments of the entire weekend.
Saturday night, Flo Milli hit the GoPuff stage in the wake of a major couple of weeks for her. She’s scored one of her biggest hits to date with the single “Never Lose Me,” which just got a new remix featuring SZA and Cardi B. She also just released her new album Fine Ho, Stay her first new project since 2022. All of that gave her plenty of reason to celebrate and flex, which is exactly what she did throughout her set.
She delivered one fan-favorite cut after another spanning her entire career during the 30-minute set. Much like her albums, it was an absolute banger fest. For one song after another Flo Milli routinely got the chance to spit confident bars and hard-hitting catchy refrains. With an audience clearly packed full of die-hard fans the intensity and attitude of the performance was unrivaled for the entire weekend.
It’s only fitting that two of California’s finest would deliver one of the best performances of Rolling Loud Los Angeles. YG first appeared on Thursday night alongside Kanye West, Ty Dolla $ign, and a myriad of other guests for the VULTURES listening party. But that was nothing compared to the energy he would bring to his own set on Friday. He’s celebrating the 10th anniversary of his debut album My Krazy Life and kicked off the set with fiery performances of some of the album’s classics.
But the highlight of the show came once the pair went back to back in the second half. They did an impromptu live Verzuz on stage that reminded fans they both have hit after hit. That even included a surprise appearance from Saweetie alongside YG where they tantalized the crowd by flirting on stage. The celebration of two of the West Coast’s finest felt like one of those Rolling Loud moments that fans will talk about for years to come.
One of the most signature elements of Rolling Loud is the raucous crowds. Nearly every year videos of massive mosh pits breaking out with fans going absolutely wild hit the internet and go viral. It’s arguably the hallmark of the entire festival. Yet the only crowd of the weekend that really felt like it lived up to that high bar of intensity was Ski Mask The Slump God. He’s no Rolling Loud novice and you could tell as he seemingly knew exactly what songs to deliver to get the crowd hype.
During the second half of the set, he paid tribute to both XXXTENTACION and Juice Wrld and the crowd chanted along with nearly every word of every song. From the more intimate moments where cell phone lights swayed back and forth to the throttling intensity of songs like “Rip Roach,” Ski Mask’s set was the weekend’s lone moment that felt like it was destined to be the next viral Rolling Loud crowd hype video. Nobody all weekend was in command of the stage and the crowd more than Ski Mask The Slump God.
Flo Milli has been impressing us more and more over the past few months. The Mobile, Alabama rapper and singer has some hits under her belt already. However, “Never Lose Me” has really catapulted to a more mainstream audience. This track is also the lead single to her new album Fine Ho, Stay, which saw its release this past weekend. However, this project and Flo Milli have a lot more to offer like “New Me” with Anycia.
She is one of the few multi-hyphenate guests to be onboard for Flo’s third project. Gunna, SZA, Cardi B, and Monaleo are in the mix as well. What helps make “New Me” a standout is the dark and twinkly beat from Honorable C.N.O.T.E. In addition to the high-profile rappers, Flo did not cheap out on the producers either. ATL Jacob, Bangladesh, and Lex Luger are just a few to name.
Secondly, Flo and Anycia bring a cool, yet intimidating presence to this record. Milli’s pre-chorus is one of best written bits of the song with sticky lines to pair with a simple and catchy flow. Up-and-comer Anycia continues to her add to her intriguing catalog with a more monotone and colder delivery. We definitely recommend this track from Fine Ho, Stay, so be sure to check it out above.

“‘Fine Ho, Stay’ is the end of a trilogy,” Flo Mill said of the album. “I have been locked in working on my album for so long and my only goal was to deliver my best work to my fans and continue to grow as an artist. Had to get the girls together for the ‘Never Lose Me’ remix. Mobile is up right now, Ho! I’m not stopping Flo Milli SHIT.”

Southern hip-hop is one of the main pillars of hip-hop and it has given us some of the best artists and tracks in its history. Of course, with every new face that decides to embody this style, things are not going to be how they once were. For Flo Milli on Fine Ho, Stay, she is showing that it does not always have be to super grimy. While she does like to portray a lot of sexual themes in her music, she makes it a little more lighthearted.
“Never Lose Me,” the album’s one and only single, is the perfect example of that. It has that pop rap appeal with the softer kick drums and delivery from Flo. After hearing this record, it becomes clearer and clearer that she is a master of catchy melodies and sticky cadences. “New Me,” “Neva,” “Toast,” and “Edible,” are some that show this ability.
Flo Milli’s love for the southern-fried sound is also apparent from the producers that hopped on Fine Ho, Stay. Honorable C.N.O.T.E, Lex Luger, Bangladesh, ATL Jacob, Cardo, Mike WiLL Made-It, are just some of the legends involved. Juicy J is also in the mix as a writer and you can hear that Memphis influence on tracks like “Got The Juice” and “Neva.” Flo’s Ho-themed trilogy is now complete, and this might be the best one of the bunch.

Flo Milli has been absolutely popping since the release of her hit single “Never Lose Me.” While it is a simple song at its core and a theme we have heard before in female hip-hop, it is so damn catchy.

To help bring more excitement to the track, Flo Milli has recruited Cardi B and SZA for a new “remix.”

Milli does a great job incorporating her guests’ parts, as neither of them overstay their welcome.

Quotable Lyrics:
From the ‘burb but I suck it like Suki (Mmm) From the ‘burb but I buss it like Juvie (Mmm) Throw it back while he talkin’ me through it Stiff on your ho, your n**** been a groupie Told me he don’t never wanna lose me (Oh yes, I know) I know
At long last, Flo Milli has shared her long-awaited sophomore album, Fine Ho, Stay. To celebrate the milestone, the Alabama rapper has shared a remix to her viral hit, “Never Lose Me.” On the remix, Flo is joined by Cardi B and SZA — and the three of them issue a reminder that they’re not the ones to take for granted.
Flo’s verses remain the same as those on the original, however, SZA gives the song a little bit more romantic flair.
“Hit me up, I’ll blow your mind / He speed in a Jeep with his hand on my booty / He touchin’ on me, I get goofy / From the ‘burbs, actin’ bougie,” she rap-sings on her verse.
Cardi steps in with some more heat, and as one can expect, adds some clever, yet hilarious one-liners.
“He love me, ain’t no need for no groupies / Hit Miami, I’m struttin’ my two-piece / On the beach, actin’ bad, we on Tubi / He don’t never ever wanna lose me,” Cardi raps.
You can listen to the “Never Lose Me” remix above.
Fine Ho, Stay is out now via RCA. Find more information here.
Cardi B is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.
Flo Milli fans have been looking forward to the promised release of the SZA-featuring remix of her hit single “Never Lose Me,” but today, they got a pleasant surprise on that count. In addition to finding out its release date via her third album, Fine Ho, Stay, which drops this Friday, March 15, but they also found out who else is on it: Cardi B.
Cardi, whose run of star-powered remix features has included team-ups with GloRilla (“Tomorrow 2“), Latto (“Put It On Da Floor Again“), and FendiDa Rappa (“Point Me 2“), has become the rap it-girls‘ it-girl as fans have impatiently waited for word of her own second studio album. Incidentally, Cardi has been much more active on that front lately; the release of the “Never Lose Me” remix will actually coincide with the release of her own single “Miami,” which will follow “Bongos” and “Like What” in Cardi’s efforts to promote the impending album.
The two rappers announced the news in a quick video on Instagram in which Flo Milli mugs the camera while the track plays and Cardi enters the frame from offscreen. You can check out the teaser below and the full track in less than nine hours when it drops at midnight ET/9pm PT.
I know I said Flo Milli should strike while the iron is hot in my spring hip-hop albums preview, but she’s really going for it. Today, the Alabama rapper announced the surprising release for her long-awaited third studio album, Fine Ho, Stay: This Friday, March 15. Presumably, she would like to capitalize on the buzzy success of her viral single “Never Lose Me,” which even found its way into A-list stars’ Instagram Stories (see below), but a two-day turnaround from announcement to release is Beyoncé levels of audacity.
The fan part of me hopes the strategy will not only be successful but also catch wildfire among artists who want to take control of their careers and shock fans out of the weird complacency/demanding cycle we’ve been in the last couple of years. The journalist part of me is terrified it does because that spring preview was hard enough to pull together with the five announced projects and speculation. If they all start pulling these shenanigans, Imma be scrambling every Friday to figure out what’s even out. Still, you gotta love the chaotic energy, especially if it proves Joe Budden wrong (again) about his declaration that the “girl rapper wave is over.”
Fine Ho, Stay will be out on 3/15 via RCA Records.
