Cardi B Brings The Facts After Receiving Lawsuit Over Mansion Rental For “Like What” Video

Yesterday, the owner of the mansion in the music video for Cardi B’s “Like What (Freestyle)” filed a lawsuit against her and Offset. According to the documents, he alleges that the then couple were requesting to use the home anonymously. Instead of saying they were looking to film a music video, he claims that the MC’s reps were inquiring about a TikTok video. Because of this, the homeowner waived the fee. Overall, he’s stating they knew it was going to be pricey and they were going to do anything and everything to avoid paying. Previously, Justin Bieber and Logan Paul rented out the luxe Beverly Hills pad for its services. Now, he’s seeking $35,000 or more in damages from the now divorced couple.

It was only a matter of time before either Cardi or Offset was going to respond, and today it’s the former doing so. According to HipHopDX, she took to X (formerly Twitter) and clearly, she’s pretty ticked off about it. Throughout her tweet, the mother of three provides what she claims really happened, saying that cameras were all over the property, her and Set paid up front, and that realtors and the owner were present during filming. “We paid those people $10,000 IN CASH to rent the property for a whole 24 hours that same day 6am to 6am the next morning”, she begins. “And we went over by ONE hour which we paid overage fees to the realtor for in March”.

Cardi B Has Receipts To Disprove Lawsuit

Above she shows that proof, in addition to text messages with Offset about the payment. She then continues, “There was cameras all over and both the realtors and the owners was there the ENTIRE time… I got pics and videos of them on set!! Now they wanna finesse us trying to say we told them it was a TikTok video when that was nowhere in the contract and like they didn’t hear the whole song playing and see how long we was shooting…. Why would it take us 24 hours to shoot a TikTok?”. Before signing off, Cardi made sure to give the owner a fair warning, “The problem is people wanna find loopholes and get over but IRON YOUR BEST SUIT B**** I’ll see you in court!!!!”.

Cardi B & Offset Sued For Not Paying To Use Mansion In “Like What” Music Video

Cardi B and Offset are being named in a brand-new lawsuit, according to TMZ. This is stemming from one of the handful of singles that the former has put out this year, “Like What (Freestyle)”. At the time, the on and off hip-hop couple were on, and the former Migos member was supporting her vision for the track. He is the credited director for the single’s music video, which is why both are facing this legal issue right now. The majority of the visuals were taken at a luxurious and modern mansion Beverly Hills, California.

There was a rental fee, but allegedly, Cardi B and Offset never forked over the money. In fact, the plaintiff, which is the owner of the property, claims they didn’t because they knew it was expensive. Knowing that, the rapper’s representatives allegedly contacted the homeowner and said that a random client was trying to film a TikTok video. Due to that lie, he wiped away the rental fee.

DeMar DeRozan Addresses Choosing Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” Video Over Drake Friendship

DeMar DeRozan’s role in Kendrick Lamar and Drake’s viral beef has been nothing short of controversial. The basketball player appeared onstage at Kendrick’s eagerly anticipated Pop Out show in LA this summer, suggesting that he was backing the Compton native. This sparked rumors that he and Drake had a falling out, but he insists this isn’t true.

DeRozan later appeared in the eagerly anticipated music video for “Not Like Us,” seemingly solidifying his allegiance to Kendrick. On the track, Kendrick accuses Drizzy and his OVO crew of being “pedophiles.” One might expect that to have marked the end of DeRozan and Drake’s friendship. According to him, however, they’re still on good terms.

DeRozan went on to weigh in on Kendrick being scheduled to headline the Super Bowl LIX Halftime show in New Orleans. Despite countless fans and peers being outraged that Lil Wayne wasn’t chosen instead, he says he’s looking forward to it.

It’s long been rumored that Rome Streetz and Daringer would be teaming up for a new collaborative project. Late last week, the duo finally confirmed this with the release of its lead single. The album is titled Hatton Garden Holdup and is currently slated for release on October 4. Reportedly, the project also boasts various high-profile features. ScHoolboy Q, Conway The Machine, Meyhem Lauren, and Cormega are expected to make appearances.

They went in alone on their first single “Starbvxkz,” however. It arrived last week alongside a dreamy accompanying music video based in West London, directed by Rome’s manager, Coach Bombay 3000. The track delivers all of the old-school energy one would expect from the pair and also serves as a solid introduction to the upcoming album. The new project will follow Rome’s EP with producer Wavy Da Ghawd, Buck 50, which they unveiled in May of this year.

It will also arrive after Daringer’s contributions to Action Bronson’s JOHANN SEBASTIAN BACHLAVA THE DOCTOR and Conway The Machine’s Slant Face Killah, which were both released earlier this year. What do you think of Rome Streetz and Daringer’s new track? What about its accompanying music video directed by Coach Bombay 3000? Will you be adding “Starbvxkz” to your playlist or not?

Lithe Teams Up With Lil Tjay For “Fall Back”

In July of this year, Melbourne-based artist Lithe unleashed his latest EP, What Would You Do? The project includes his track “Fall Back,” which he unveiled as part of a two-pack earlier this year. Last month, he dropped a remix of the fan-favorite song featuring NAV. Now, he’s released yet another version of it featuring none other than Lil Tjay.

Lil Tjay’s verse is a welcome addition to the laid-back song, as he walks effortlessly on the beat and matches the pace well. He spits about reserving his “positive energy” for himself, so as not to put all that he’s worked for at risk. It arrives alongside an accompanying music video which shows them hanging out in the studio, onstage performing, counting cash, and more. The release follows various singles Lil Tjay has released in recent months including “No No,” “Took A While (Be Us),” and “Fed Up” with Kay Flock. It also dropped the same day as his new track with Shiva, “Replay.”

The collab comes after Lil Tjay released his album 222 last year, which boasts various high-profile features from the likes of NBA YoungBoy, Summer Walker, Jadakiss, and more. What do you think of Lithe dropping a new version of “Fall Back” featuring a verse from Lil Tjay? Will you be adding it to your playlist or not? What about its accompanying music video?

Playboi Carti Confirms Anticipated “All Red” Music Video Is Coming Soon

Playboi Carti is a tough person to pin down. He’s become one of the most elusive artists in hip hop, and it’s very much by design. The rapper realized that there’s strength in keeping fans off balance. And he’s proceeded to do just that since the release of his breakout tape Die Lit. Playboi Carti has kept fans on the edge of their seats with regards to his upcoming album, despite failing to provide anything in the way of info or a concrete release date. That said, it looks like the rollout is finally underway. “All Red” is almost here.

It started out as a rumor. There was social media chatter that a music video for the anticipated Playboi Carti song was being shot. Naturally, there was a decent amount of skepticism. Hitta J3 tweeted that he was bringing Carti to a specific location for the “All Red” video shoot the weekend of September 6. It was a claim that wouldn’t have gotten much traction, were it not for the fact that Carti himself confirmed it. He reposted the Hitta J3 tweet on his Instagram Story with an excited caption. “5 Suuuuwoooo gang, and if u ain’t wit it den u in ah foodchain,” he wrote.

Playboi Carti Confirmed The Rumors On His IG Story

This is huge. Playboi Carti has been working on his upcoming album for years, but the last week or so has provided some encouraging signs. The rapper did a cover story with Billboard in which he talked about his nontraditional recording process. It was the sort of story that someone does when they have new music on the way, and it provided a glimmer of hope. Then there was the recent Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop Power Players Awards.

The rapper was given the first award of his career, somehow, on September 5. His acceptance speech was brief, but he did take time out to pay respect to the late Rich Homie Quan. Playboi Carti has yet to provide a release date or even a proper title for his new album, but the fact that he’s shooting a music video for a lead single has fans understandably excited. It truly feels as though the long wait is coming to a close. I Am Music, or whatever the album will be called, is getting closer to release every day. We can’t wait to see what the “All Red” music video looks like.

It’s already been a huge year for Halle Bailey, and fans are glad to see that she only continues to deliver.

On Friday, she unveiled “Because I Love You,” a lighthearted single about being with the one you love.

”’Because I Love You’ is a song for anyone who has been deeply in love,” Halle says of the track. “It’s an anthem that tells the story of all of the beautiful passion and euphoria you can feel with that person.” The song arrived alongside a playful and cinematic accompanying music video, which showcases some of the ups and downs that come with being head over heels for someone, as well as the various different sides it can bring out in a person. One version of Halle is seen dining headfirst onto a windshield to get closer to her man, gets jealous when she catches him staring at herself, and more.

Clearly, Halle had fun with the concept and let her creativity shine through, and fans can’t wait to hear what else she has up her sleeve. What do you think of Halle Bailey’s new single?

ASAP Rocky Shows Off His Wacky World In New “Tailor Swif” Music Video: Watch

ASAP Rocky was supposed to come out with his new album Don’t Be Dumb today (August 30), but alas, life isn’t always fair. Still, at least he clapped back at the leaks by officially releasing his song “Tailor Swif” and its accompanying music video, as this is one of many songs that emerged online unofficially. Moreover, it’s quite the wild visual set in Kyiv, Ukraine, showing off a whole host of odd characters and very bizarre situations. Overall, it’s exactly the kind of creativity that we would expect from the Harlem multi-hyphenate, and an exciting indication of the creativity this album will surely embody.

Furthermore, A$AP Rocky’s last music video was for “HIGHJACK,” and it was a similarly trippy and awe-inspiring affair. “In this very moment, it’s very grim. That’s an abbreviation,” he recently told Billboard concerning his mentality for this rollout. “It’s infusing German expressionism with ghetto futurism.” It’s probably this type of stylistic melding that prompted the rapper to link up with Tim Burton. “I sat and I played the album for Tim Burton, and he was f***ing with it heavy,” he shared. “He was rocking his head and he’s like, ‘Wow! I didn’t know you made that kind of music!’”

Elsewhere during that interview, A$AP Rocky also spoke on his love for his partner, Rihanna. “It’s crazy how we find balance with our chaotic schedules,” he remarked. “[The relationship] is going great. I don’t think there’s a more perfect person because when the schedules are hectic, she’s very understanding of that. And when the schedule’s freed up, that’s when you get to spend [the] most time together. It’s all understanding and compatibility.”

Meanwhile, other folks are making a big deal out of ASAP Rocky’s comments on his Drake beef, either dismissing them outright or itching for another go. “You got to realize, certain n***as was throwing shots for years,” he expressed to Billboard. “I ain’t in the middle of that s**t. That’s not how I retaliate right now. I got bigger fish to fry than some p***y boys. It is real beef outside. It is real. N***as getting really clipped and blitzed every day. N***as sniping n***as every day. That little kitty s**t ain’t about nothing.”

ASAP Rocky is currently in the process of readying his eagerly anticipated album, Don’t Be Dumb. The project was originally slated for release on August 30, but it’s since been pushed back to September 20. Of course, fans are antsier than ever to hear what he has to offer, and the Harlem-born rapper only continues to tease what’s to come.

Earlier today, for example, he hopped on Instagram to share a trailer for his upcoming “Tailor Swif” music video. It arrived alongside a brief message to leakers, who’ve been largely responsible for album delays. “SINCE U DUMMIES LEAKED IT ALREADY,” he wrote simply. The trailer itself is expectedly chaotic, and fans can’t wait for its official release.

It won’t be the only exciting visual ASAP Rocky unveils this month, however. Last week, the hitmaker unveiled his music video for “HIGHJACK,” another single from the new album. The track first arrived a few weeks ago, and prompted big reactions from listeners, particularly those anticipating Drake disses. Rocky later addressed the feud head-on in his Billboard cover story, suggesting that he’s not as invested as some may have thought.

“You got to realize, certain n***as was throwing shots for years,” he told the outlet. “I ain’t in the middle of that s**t. That’s not how I retaliate right now. I got bigger fish to fry than some p***y boys. It is real beef outside. It is real. N***as getting really clipped and blitzed every day. N***as sniping n***as every day.

Cordae And Anderson .Paak Take Us On A Ride In “Summer Drop” Music Video

Cordae and Anderson .Paak don’t get enough credit. Every song these two make together is a heater, and their latest, “Summer Drop,” is proof. We already did a rundown on the song itself, but the duo have dropped a music video to accompany it. Unsurprisingly, it is also great. Cordae and Anderson .Paak tap into the laid back vibe of the J. Cole instrumental by riding around a neighborhood with the windows down. The duo appear to be having a blast, and honestly, the energy is infectious.

Cordae is going for a very particular aesthetic on his upcoming album. “Saturday Mornings,” his last song with Lil Wayne, and “Summer Drop,” both evoke a 90s nostalgia. The way each set up is shot to evoke an old school music video, the switches to grainy black-and-white. Cordae is bringing back the rap music of his youth, but putting his own spin on it. There’s nothing kitschy or annoyingly retro about the “Summer Drop” video. It tips its cap to the summer anthems of the past while still having enough of a modern feel to connect with fans in 2024.

A big part of why the balance works is the on screen chemistry between Cordae and Anderson .Paak. In their body language and their reference points, the duo evoke groups like De La Soul and DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince. Even the title of Cordae’s upcoming album, The Crossroads, evokes Bone Thugs. The rapper is clearly feeling wistful, and it manifests in his lyrics. “I saved up the whole summer, that’s how I got school clothes,” he raps. “I bought some Puma’s and some fake chains, that was fools gold.
“My n**ga, what you know about those hot summers? No air condition.”

Anderson .Paak, as always, balances out Cordae’s reserved delivery. The instantly recognizable singer drops a memorable opening verse about his success, and how his life has changed so much since he was a kid. “I’m in my other drop, from beanies to buckets. A hundred bucks in my Polo socks,” he spits. “Remember when summer dropped, we was at Unclе’s spot. Three n**gas with nothin’ to do but wrestle or slap box.” Honestly, we can’t wait to hear the rest of Cordae’s album.
