Cardi B Reveals Why She Has Yet To Collaborate With Rihanna

Cardi B might be one of our generation’s most prominent female artists, but she’s also one of the realist.

Most recently, the “Bodak Yellow” rapper dropped her newest single and video, “Enough,” which also means doing select interviews to promote the new release. Over the weekend, Cardi B’s interview with Million Dollaz Worth of Game was released, this time shot outdoors rather than inside in the typical studio.

During the conversation, Cardi B was asked who was on her wishlist to do a song with. She revealed she’d love to collaborate with fellow female GOAT recording artist Rihanna, but she also reveals why she won’t ever ask.

Cardi B states, “I love Rihanna’s music, but I don’t do music like that. I sound kinda stupid trying to sing like that, trying sound like that. So if I ever get that perfect record, I can not wait until I feel like, ‘This song… I know she’s going to like it.’ Because I don’t want to send her nothing like, ‘Ho, what the fuck is this shit? Take this thing out of my face.’”

She goes on to reveal that she’s always wanted to do a song with Shakira, which landed in her lap. The song is slated to come out next week.

Why Did Kanye West Diss Kai Cenat?

Kai Cenat may be the favorite streamer of many of rap’s biggest names like Drake, Nicki Minaj, and Killer Mike, but one hip-hop star is apparently less fond of the 22-year-old YouTuber.

Kanye West lashed out at Cenat after sending the streamer a pair of his YZY brand pants in the wrong size. Cenat demonstrated their poor fit during one of his streams, which incensed the multihyphenate musician-designer. Kanye shared a DM exchange via Instagram in which Ye told the younger entertainer, “Don’t make jokes about my clothes. When you ain’t saying nothing about what Adidas is doing. When “Vultures” song came out you ain’t play my verse. You controlled. Don’t play with me.”

As a quick reminder: What “Adidas is doing” is continuing to release its massive backstock of Yeezy apparel and footwear after Kanye’s antisemitic comments forced the company to end their endorsement deal prematurely, as is the company’s right (of all the things I’m angry at Kanye about, forcing me to defend a multibillion dollar athletics conglomerate is close to the top of the list). Oh, and they’re suing him for pretty much stealing the marketing budget for other Yeezy endeavors after terrorizing employees with his own sex tapes.

After this exchange, though, Kanye’s longtime manager John Monopoly threatened Kai, writing, “We good… But if we ever need to link up for a face to face I’ll meet him in HIS hood. Just me plus one.” Which seems like a really mature and professional way to do business, but this is the outfit that publicly announced firing an influencer of questionable utility while employing a known racist troll in a high-level position.

I am once again requesting a year-long moratorium on these people’s collective internet access, at least until we can confirm that children can read and write again and democracy is not going to topple off a cliff into a boiling sea. Panem et circenses, indeed.

Kanye West Says He Is Suing YesJulz For Over $8 Million For Breaking Her Contract

The dispute between Kanye West and former contracter Julieanna Goddard — aka YesJulz — is apparently escalating, as the producer shared the text of an alleged lawsuit on Sunday (March 17) on his Instagram Story. According to XXL, which captured a screenshot of the Story post before Kanye deleted it, the text of the suit reads:

Julianne Goddard has repeatedly, intentionally and grossly violated the terms of her Non-Disclosure Agreement with complainants including publicly disclosing corporate sales figures, social media strategies, text messages with Ye and management, release plans for the Vultures album and product designs before release. To say Goddard suffers from a lack of impulse control would be to excuse her from responsibility for behavior that is hurtful, hateful, and destructive.

I….

Well, I am just gobsmacked. It certainly sounds like someone we all know. I wonder if Kanye’s house has ANY mirrors in it, at all.

West seeks restitution “in excess of $8,000,000” which… somehow… it seems unlikely he’s ever going to see. Goddard did dare West and his “chief of staff” Milo Yiannopoulos to sue her in her response to being fired from the Yeezy brand, but considering Ye’s established pattern of grand announcements and haphazard follow-through (see: the aforementioned Vultures rollout, Ye’s 2020 presidential campaign), Goddard probably isn’t in very much danger of having to pay a dime.

For what it’s worth, Kanye only posted this text to his Instagram Story with no comment, so it’s possible he hasn’t even filed the suit yet (after all, court’s closed on Sunday). Uproxx was unable to independently confirm that any such document was submitted through LA Superior Court systems, but considering it can often take a while to get docs digitized, that’s no evidence that it wasn’t filed. We’ll just have to wait and see if Julz responds — and how.

YBN Nahmir Denies Scamming Fan For $200 After Adin Ross Pressure

by

YBN Nahmir is clapping back at any and all detractors online, and is now dealing with some scamming accusations from a fan. Moreover, an up-and-coming artist leaked alleged DMs with him claiming that he paid $200 for him to promote him and their collab on social media. “I get it bro,” the rapper allegedly began his reply to the fan’s qualms before allegedly ghosting him altogether. “You know the thing with me is bro I’ll be agreeing to s**t but it’s just too low at the same time. Like I feel like it’s cool for me to post it on like my Snapchat story for the 200 you feel me? Feel like for my actual [story] it should be more like 500 do you feel me on Instagram? You feel me though, bro.”

“$200 is crazy lol,” YBN Nahmir expressed on Twitter shortly after the artist’s posts on the matter went viral, seemingly downplaying the interaction. “I don’t even know what that is & tbh I never even check my IG dm’s. I have a team lol. Tired of n***as lying on my name u h* a** n***a,” he continued while adding alleged screenshots of IG DMs between the two.

YBN Nahmir Goes Back & Forth With Alleged Scam Victim

“Firs the n***as bought an open off of me which I sent him & cleared it for em,” YBN Nahmir continued. “Than the n***a start having a fake conversation with himself believing he actually sent 200 n***a u ain’t sent s**t. I never even answered u anymore. u was asking for s**t for low a** prices I wasn’t finna do it. Stop the [cap emoji] n***a weird a** hell if I was gonn scam u why tf I wouldn’t have done it before I gave u a song cleared it and all that lame a** b***h.” “N***a’s that never paid me lying on my name tryna get clout,” he shared on his IG Story.

Of course, this is a bit ironic considering the Alabama MC’s recent scuffle with Adin Ross. He wanted to box the media personality for $100K, but Ross turned it down and said that he’s not worth his time. We’ll see whether another situation pops up in which YBN Nahmir will either refuse payment to prove a point or put money on the line to fulfill his goals… however odd they may be. Regardless, log back into HNHH for more news and the latest updates on him.

Adidas CEO Considered Hiding From Kanye West During Airport Encounter

by

Adidas CEO Bjorn Gulden has explained the viral photo of himself speaking with Kanye West at an airport in Las Vegas following the Super Bowl. Speaking at a press conference at the company’s headquarters, Gulden joked that he considered hiding from Ye to avoid bad press, but decided against it. Regardless, the relationship between the two sides is not being mended anytime soon.

“It was not a meeting, there was no business discussion,” he said of the run-in. From there, he joked: “If you meet him at an airport, I don’t know what you do. Do you hide? Or what do you do?” Gulden also reiterated: “The contract has ended. We are selling off the inventory.”

Kanye and Adidas have been at odds for years since their partnership. The company cut ties with Ye officially following his antisemitic comments in 2022. More recently, West called out the company for continuing to sell its stock of the Yeezy Boost 350. “Anybody who loves Ye would not buy these fake Yeezys,” he wrote on Instagram. “I never made these color ways I’m not getting paid off of them and adidas is suing me. All these celebrities and the public will stand against a T shirt or the color of my hat but when yall see me have my children hidden from me or see an actual Fortune 500 company r*pe one of your heroes in real life don’t nobody say nothing or do nothing. As far as the system goes What yall gone do now Take my album down again Freeze my accounts again Threaten people to not work with me again. All the new non approved 350’s are cooorny and everybody know the 350 been corny.”

Dr. Dre Opens Up About Three Strokes Following Brain Aneurysm Scare

by
Dr. Dre to Receive Star on Hollywood Walk of Fame

Three years after his harrowing experience with a brain aneurysm, music producer and rapper Dr. Dre has revealed that he also suffered three strokes while in the hospital. In a candid interview on SiriusXM’s This Life of Mine with James Corden, Dre reflected on the ordeal and how it transformed his perspective on life.

Recalling the onset of the ordeal, Dr. Dre described waking up with a strange sensation behind his right ear, which quickly escalated into excruciating pain. Despite initially attempting to brush it off and rest, he soon found himself rushed to the hospital by his son’s friend. Opting for an urgent care facility first, Dre was swiftly redirected to the hospital as doctors deemed his condition critical.

During his two-week stay in the ICU, Dre experienced moments of consciousness interspersed with blackouts, a testament to the severity of his condition. Reflecting on the experience, he recounted hearing doctors remark on his luck, emphasizing the gravity of the situation.

At the time, Dre wrestled with questions about whether the aneurysm could have been prevented through better focus on his physical health. Despite his dedication to fitness, including weightlifting and running, he was blindsided by the diagnosis of high blood pressure, a condition often termed the “silent killer” due to its asymptomatic nature.

Ultimately, Dre learned that the aneurysm was hereditary and beyond his control, underscoring the importance of regular health check-ups, particularly for conditions prevalent in Black men like high blood pressure.

Make sure you stay on top of your health—that’s the true wealth.
