Today, she shared a photo from the hospital, or her holding the baby in her arms as she and Offset gaze at it. Cardi’s caption is seemingly the child’s date of birth: “9/4/21.”

Migos Defend Their ‘Greatest Band’ Status With An Exuberant Tiny Desk Concert

by

One of the few good things to come out of the 2020 pandemic forcing a near-shutdown of the entertainment industry was NPR’s Tiny Desk Concerts series moving to its “At Home” format, which opened up the concept and allowed more artists who wouldn’t have normally been able to perform due to travel and other commitments to turn in some of the best shows in the series’ history. For instance, Vince Staples and Young Thug both recently put in performances that highlighted new and upcoming releases with utterly magnetic charisma and arrangements.

Migos, the Atlanta-based trio who built their brand with exuberant performances over the past five years, is the latest example, appearing on the latest Tiny Desk Concert from what looks like one of the guys’ living rooms. Playing a three-song set from their new album Culture III including “Avalanche,” “Straightenin,” and “Happy Birthday,” Migos assert their claim for “greatest band in the world,” starting out on the couch and eventually filling the room with palpable, infectious energy.

In addition to a spate of videos for songs like “Roadrunner” and “Why Not,” Migos also have a three-day Las Vegas weekender planned for October to promote the album.

Lizzo recently kicked off a new era of music with the kiss-off tune “Rumors,” the singer’s first new song in nearly two years. While her fans have been loving the song, it also made Lizzo the subject of some intense internet hate. Some of the comments on the singer’s Facebook page were so heinous that the platform reportedly began deleting them. Celebrities are now calling out the haters, and Offset is the latest.

After his wife and “Rumors” collaborator Cardi B rushed to Lizzo’s defense, Offset also spoke out in support of the singer. “Let these beautiful Black women be great, stop judging,” he said In a statement given to TMZ about the “Rumors” backlash, adding people need to stop with the “negative energy.” He continued, “We work hard to be entertainers for the world. Let us be.”

Lizzo also recently addressed the hate, saying in an interview with Good Morning America that the kind of comments she receives “should not fly” in this day and age. “I don’t mind critique about me, my music. I don’t even mind the fat comments,” she said. “I just feel like it’s unfair sometimes, the treatment that people like me receive. […] Some people are like, ‘Don’t let people see you with your head down, sis.’ My head is always up. Even when I’m upset and even when I’m crying, my head is always up. But I know it’s my job as an artist to reflect the times, and this sh*t should not fly. This shouldn’t be okay.”

Offset And Cardi B Had Their First Date At A Historic Sporting Event

Cardi B and Offset are one of the biggest power couples in music, and it turns out their their relationship started in an appropriately huge way.

Offset was a guest on Jimmy Kimmel Live! last night, and he told guest host Anthony Anderson that his and Cardi’s first date was at a historic sporting event, saying, “My first date, I went big. I wanted to do something that was not normally done, you know what I’m saying? I wanted to have fun, and not so serious… enjoyable time. So I took her to the Super Bowl.”

The game in question was 2017’s Super Bowl LI. Sports fans know that game well, as it’s the one where Tom Brady and the New England Patriots famously overcame a 28-3 deficit to beat the Atlanta Falcons and pull off the biggest comeback in Super Bowl history.

Offset said he lost $10,000 betting on that game, but there was a silver lining: “I lost $10,000 that night, too. You know what I won? My wife!”

Elsewhere during the conversation, Anderson tried to find out the name of the couple’s upcoming child, but Offset said it’s still a “mystery.”

Check out the full conversation above.
