Cardi B Beefs With TikToker Over 50/50 Relationship Advice, Says Offset’s “ALWAYS BEEN RICH”

It’s become evident that drama in any capacity leaves Cardi B feeling stressed out. Still, she’s never had a problem calling out internet trolls and people challenging her beliefs. Most recently, tension has been stirring around the topic of equal partnerships, or both people splitting expenses 50/50. After Cardi spoke out saying she’s all for finding balance within unions, social media users who felt differently began lashing out, particularly noting that her tumultuous past with her husband, Offset, is enough for some not to take her opinion seriously.

“Cardi B trying to give us relationship advice is CR*ZY,” one TikToker wrote earlier this week. “(Also, retire the 50/50 argument),” they added. When she came across the Gen-Z user’s rant, the “I Like It” hitmaker had plenty to say. “But, this wasn’t about me,” Cardi wrote. “Sooo, you saw my life but you ain’t saw the part about my parents? Or the part if you both college students, will y’all split the bill?” the femcee asked beneath the OP. “Like, I’m sorry, but I’m not taking relationship advice from you,” they doubled down on their take. “Loved y’all at Rolling Loud last year though 😂🥳.”

Cardi still had more to say, dropping off another comment to clarify that she “never had to hold Offset down,” because “HE ALWAYS BEEN RICH 😂.” Rather than congratulate her, the creator replied, “Ma’am, at this point [just] drop the album.”

It’s no wonder that Cardi B isn’t too worried about splitting bills with her man, especially considering the continued success of her discography and other creative endeavours. Years after delivering the provocative visual for “Bodak Yellow,” it hit a massive milestone on YouTube, proving that the former stripper still has juice in the rap game. Read all about that at the link below, and check back later for more music/pop culture news updates.

Why Does TikTok Still Have Ariana Grande and Other Universal Music Artists Even Though There’s a Standoff With the Label?

black content creators

If you or your kids use TikTok, don’t feel bad because pretty much every social media user does; then you may have noticed a lack of certain music from your favorite artists on the platform. There’s a standoff regarding royalty payments and AI policies. Variety reports that it has “resulted in a near-complete blackout of all music owned, distributed, and published by the company on the platform.” Now get this: the videos are still on and popping on the platform, but the actual music is being muted – yikes.

Now it gets murky because new songs from UMG artists, like stars Ariana Grande, Camila Cabello, and Niall Horan, can still be discovered on TikTok as of yesterday, but what is the reason is the real question? Variety didn’t have any comment from reps at UMG and TikTok, who both declined.

So, if you don’t know how the whole music on TikTok thing works, it goes like this, as Variety reports: Rights-holders, such as record labels, are not the only way music can be uploaded onto TikTok. Pretty much anyone uploads music and displays it as “original sound” on a user’s post. Then, said sound can be used by virtually anyone on TikTok, including artists. Once that music is on the platform, the rights-holders lose control over the content, and all they can do is send off takedown notices and other notifications via legal means. So it falls on TikTok to follow through by detecting, policing and muting the unauthorized music floating around on its platform. Are you exhausted from that rundown? We are. 

Even though reps from the label declined to comment to Variety, UMG spoke on the situation broadly. They’re, in essence, directing fault to TikTok’s detection software. They dropped a letter to artists breaking down the ban. “TikTok makes little effort to deal with the vast amounts of content on its platform that infringe our artists’ music and it has offered no meaningful solutions to the rising tide of content adjacency issues, let alone the tidal wave of hate speech, bigotry, bullying and harassment on the platform,” from an excerpt of the letter. “The only means available to seek the removal of infringing or problematic content (such as pornographic deepfakes of artists) is through the monumentally cumbersome and inefficient process which equates to the digital equivalent of ‘Whack-a-Mole.’ … We will always fight for our artists and songwriters and stand up for the creative and commercial value of music.” It seems like this is not going to end soon.

“Vultures 2” Tracks Appear On TikTok & Instagram As Fans Await Kanye West & Ty Dolla Sign’s Album

When Kanye West delivers an album release date at this point in his career, few hip-hop heads are inclined to believe it. The father of four is notorious for hitting fans with delays, some of them even spanning months. We saw it with the original Vultures LP, which was set to arrive in late 2023 but didn’t actually debut until February 10. The follow-up to that controversial project is expected to land this month, but as HipHopDX reports, there’s some confusion about whether that will really happen.

Ye has already made it clear that Vultures 2 won’t be available on streaming. Instead, he and his collaborators plan to sell the album online for $20 a piece – double the usual price. As we curiously wait to see if we’ll be able to purchase Ty Dolla and West’s work this New Music Friday (March 15), fans have noticed several titles from the tracklist appearing on platforms like Instagram and TikTok.

Will Vultures 2 Be Dropping Tonight?

“River,” which features Young Thug and singer Leon Bridges has made it onto various apps, along with Future’s appearance on “Promotion.” Elsewhere, versions of “Slide” with James Blake and the rumoured Playboi Carti collab, “Field Trip,” which also includes Kodak Black, Lil Durk, and Don Toliver. According to @YeFanatics on Twitter/X, insiders are now saying these are “ripped audio” recordings, and could lead to delays in the official release of Vultures.

His work on Vultures 2 is certainly taking up a lot of Kanye West’s time right now, but he’s still making sure to put his family first. Earlier this week, the Yeezy founder and his firstborn, North, confirmed that her debut album is on the way, and it takes inspiration from one of her father’s classic releases. Read all about that at the link below, and let us know if you think Ye and Ty Dolla Sign will be dropping this weekend in the comments.

“TikTok Ban” Bill Sparks US Interest In Buying Popular App

A US group led by former Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin has announced their intention to mount a bid to buy TikTok. Mnuchin revealed the plan while appearing on CNBC’s Squawk Box. Mnuchin, who gained notoriety for his OneWestBank firm during the 2008 recession, was one of the few cabinet secretaries to see out Donald Trump‘s entire term in office.

The news comes a day after a bipartisan bill that could see TikTok banned in the United States passed the US House of Representatives by a vote of 325-65. The Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act would demand that TikTok divest from its Chinese parent company. If the company refused, the app would become unavailable in the United States. The bill was proposed on the basis of protecting the data of American users from the Chinese. However, many opponents have labeled the bill as Sinophobic fearmongering.

TikTok Ban Faces Tough Senate Fight

However, the popular short-form video app is safe for the time being. The bill must now pass the Senate, where there is much less clear-cut support for the legislation. A spokesperson for Tiktok has already urged senators to reject the bill. “This process was secret and the bill was jammed through for one reason: It’s a ban. We are hopeful the Senate will consider the facts, listen to their constituents, and realize the impact on the economy. Seven million small businesses and 170 million Americans use our service,” the spokesperson told the BBC. A vote has not yet been tabled for the bill.

TikTok is currently owned by Chinese firm ByteDance. However, the bill has been mired in controversy. The sinophobia claims were at their highest during the Congressional questioning of TikTok CEO, Shou Chew. Chew was asked constantly about his loyalties to China, despite being from Singapore. The questioning also came at a time when many in Congress were pushing a “Stop Asian Hate” campaign, which starkly contrasted their treatment of Chew.

Cardi B Proudly Shows Off Gap In Her Teeth After Veneer Falls Victim To Hard Bagel

Cardi B is easily one of the biggest women rappers in the entire world. Overall, she is someone who has delivered some massive hits to the masses. However, she only has one album to show for it. Although she has teased a new project in the past, it has been close to six years since the release of her debut. Luckily for fans, new music is on the horizon. We recently got the “Like What (Freestyle)” and now, we will be getting a track dubbed “Enough” on Friday. Needless to say, there are reasons for her fans to be excited.

With her new music on the horizon, it seems as though Cardi B is trying to have some fun. For instance, she has been active on TikTok, a platform that may or may not be banned in the United States. On her TikTok, she will talk about her daily life, regardless of what’s going on. In the video clip below, Cardi had a surprise for the fans who waited until the very end. As you can see, she ended up losing one of her veneers. How? You may ask. Well, it was the fault of a hard bagel that gave Cardi some trouble.

The chipped tooth occurred on the top row of her teeth towards the sides. We’re sure Cardi B will be able to get that fixed up fairly fast. After all, dentists have become accustomed to this kind of stuff. Practically everyone in the media world has veneers, and these fixes are common. Hopefully, it doesn’t tamper with Cardi’s ability to drop new music (it most certainly won’t).

Let us know your expectations for the new Cardi B album, in the comments section down below. Do you believe it will be able to live up to the expectations? Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world. We will continue to keep you informed on all of your favorite artists and their upcoming projects.

House of Representatives Pass Bill to Ban TikTok in U.S., Bill Heads to Senate

tiktoklogo gettyimages 072121

The House of Representatives has passed a bill furthering the fight to ban TikTok.

The bill, named the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act, was supported by Democrats and Republicans, while others on both sides of the aisle cited free speech issues.

According to NBC, the bill now heads to the Senate with an uncertain future. President Joe Biden stated he would sign the bill if it made it to him.

The U.S. is hoping to force TikTok’s Chinese owner to sell the app to fight a ban. America believes China can impact national security, free speech, and the social media industry.

TikTok is owned by ByteDance. The U.S. would hope for a sale within six months.

Users have stated the bill would alter their business and content creators. Others believe it could cause political problems for young voters in an election year.

Those voting against it were Rep. Ruben Gallego, a Democrat running for Arizona’s Senate seat, who stated, “It’s vital we find a balance that both protects our national security interests and respects our fundamental rights. This is not that.”

In addition to the bill, New York City is taking TikTok, YouTube, and other social media applications to court. The city, led by Mayor Eric Adams, cites the aforementioned, along with Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat, and more, as a contribution to a “nationwide youth mental health crisis.”

The lawsuit is filed in the California Superior Court, stating the social applications are purposefully designed to be addictive to children and teenagers. The suit follows the Health Commissioner’s Advisory that DOHMH Commissioner Dr. Vasan issued last month, citing the continued use of social media as a public hazard. The advisory calls for parents, healthcare providers, and more to take action.

“Over the past decade, we have seen just how addictive and overwhelming the online world can be, exposing our children to a non-stop stream of harmful content and fueling our national youth mental health crisis,” said Mayor Adams in a press statement.. “Our city is built on innovation and technology, but many social media platforms end up endangering our children’s mental health, promoting addiction, and encouraging unsafe behavior.

“Today, we’re taking bold action on behalf of millions of New Yorkers to hold these companies accountable for their role in this crisis, and we’re building on our work to address this public health hazard. This lawsuit and action plan are part of a larger reckoning that will shape the lives of our young people, our city, and our society for years to come.”

NYC H+H Chief of Behavioral Health and Co-Deputy Chief Medical Officer Omar Fattal, MD, MPH added, “We must maximize our efforts to support the mental health needs of children and adolescents by providing families with tools and resources that foster healthy development. This includes robustly addressing the negative impact of social media on the mental health of children and adolescents. We join the mayor and DOHMH in encouraging all young people and their families to consider their use of social media and how it may be negatively affecting them.”

Mayor Adams’ administration has been actively addressing the youth mental health crisis. In a significant move last year, the city introduced TeenSpace, a free tele-mental health service catering to New York City teenagers aged 13 to 17. This service enables youths to connect with licensed therapists via phone, video, or text. Since its launch, TeenSpace has provided support to over 2,000 teenagers across the five boroughs within just three months of operation.

Joe Biden’s Energetic State Of The Union Has Republicans Pedaling Cocaine Conspiracies

Of course, it’s been a busy week in US politics. After months of theories claiming that President Joe Biden had dementia, Republicans pivoted to a new attack after an energetic State of the Union address last week. Several Republican influencers, highlighted by Media Matters For America‘s Matthew Gertz, began suggesting that Biden was under the influence. “I think I just got to the bottom of the untraceable little baggie found at the White House,” wrote Fox host Julie Banderas.

Biden, who finds himself between right-wing critics attacking him on border control and left-wing critics attacking him on Gaza, came out swinging in his annual address to Congress. Furthermore, amongst the topics addressed were a warning to Vladimir Putin, a promise to restore Roe v. Wade, and the announcement of a temporary seaport to circumvent the Israeli blockade of Gaza. However, the official Republican response, delivered by Alabama Senator Katie Britt, took aim at Biden’s immigration record and tried to champion the GOP as the “defenders of women”.

DMX’s son, Exodus, joined in on the “of course” TikTok trend by making several references to his late father. He remarked about wearing Timberlands, sounding like his father, being a Ruff Ryder, and more.

“I’m DMX’s son, of course I wear Timberlands,” Exodus began, “I’m DMX’s son, of course, I like Now and Laters, I’m DMX’s son, of course, I have music in me.

Bryson Tiller Surprises Michael Strahan’s Daughter Isabella Amid Her Cancer Battle: Watch

It’s been an undoubtedly tough few months for Michael Strahan and his family. In January, his daughter Isabella revealed that she’d been diagnosed with medulloblastoma, a type of cancerous brain tumor. Since then, the 20-year-old has been documenting her treatment journey on her YouTube channel, just recently sharing that she had to undergo yet another major operation.

In a vlog posted earlier this week, Isabella told fans that she’d be getting a second craniotomy to assess the area of her brain that was previously operated on. “I’m going to have another craniotomy, which is the cutting open [of] my scar from my first surgery, my first craniotomy, and then cleaning it, and then maybe taking my bone out, maybe not, maybe putting a plate in there,” she explained from her hospital bed.

Amid the difficult circumstances, one of Isabella’s favorite artists decided to pay her a visit, which certainly lifted her spirits. In one of her latest TikTok’s, she looks elated as she dances to Bryson Tiller’s 2015 T R A P S O U L cut “Let Em’ Know.” A few seconds into the video, the hitmaker makes an entrance and joins her, leaving her speechless. “Man of my dreams #bestdayever #brysontiller,” she captioned the TikTok.

Fortunately, it looks as though Isabella is back at home after the operation, which is what she told fans she’d hoped for. “It’s not fun but I’m just super glad I can still walk and talk and they didn’t like, touch my brain, because doing that again … would be really, really rough,” she described after surgery. “Hopefully, I will get to go home soon after I heal from this. I don’t feel my best but I wanted to give a vlog update.” What do you think of Bryson Tiller surprising Isabella Strahan amid her current health battle? Are you a fan of their TikTok?

Lizzo Wants AAVE To Be “Reserved For The People Who Created It”

Lizzo has never been a stranger to expressing her opinions on the internet, and recently, she decided to weigh in on non-African American people using AAVE (African American Vernacular English). According to her, it can have some serious consequences, and shouldn’t be taken lightly. She explains that while certain terms have risen to popularity online, they’ve been used by the African American community for years, and should be reserved for those who created them. The hitmaker responded to a TikTok of a woman joking about being annoyed by the overuse of the term “type sh*t” by potential romantic partners.

“Why don’t we bring back gatekeeping?” Lizzo begins. “So that AAVE is reserved for the people who created it and grew up speaking it. So that all these people that are now talking like Black people because they read words on the internet and don’t know the origin and don’t participate in the culture don’t overuse it and then things like this happen.”

Lizzo Thinks “Gatekeeping” Should Be Brought Back

“Because ‘ganglish’ is definitely the new ‘thug,’” Lizzo continues. “When police would call someone a ‘thug’ but it’s really a Black person, which is the new hard R N-word. I know so many people who have said ‘type sh*t type sh*t’ their entire lives. I’ve heard them talk like that for years before it became trendy on the internet to say that. But maybe if these internet people get sick of it, we can just continue to use our dialect in peace… Type sh*t.”

While some social media users are dissing Lizzo for getting “too offended,” others agree with her. Do you? What do you think of her claims that non-African Americans using AAVE could have serious consequences? What about her calling for “gatekeeping” to be brought back? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.
