Kid Cudi Teases His Next Album: “Ur Not Prepared”

Kid Cudi says that his next album will be released later in the year and be preceded by several singles over the summer. He teased his plans for the rest of 2023 in a pair of tweets posted on Monday. Cudi also confirmed that he intends to embark on a world tour to promote the new songs. The comments come after he recently hinted at retiring from music after his next project.

“Album this Fall. First singles this summer. The new chapter has begun,” Cudi wrote. “Ur not prepared man. We’ve reached a new level.” In another tweet, he replied to a fan: “World tour next year. Count on it.”

Kid Cudi On His Next Album

The announcement comes months after Cudi recently discussed his desire to retire with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe. At the time, Cudi had recently released his eighth studio album, Entergalactic. “The Kid Cudi stuff, I think I want to put it on the back burner and chill out with that. I think, I want to be done with it. I think, closing the chapter on Kid Cudi,” he admitted. “I’ve said a lot and I have other desires, I have other things I want to do. And I do not see me never making music. I’ll always fuck around in the studio, or make something here and there. But, as far as getting in the studio and working on an album, and then going and touring it, I just don’t have it in me.”

As for what Cudi said he’d be interested in doing, he explained: “I really want to spend more time with my daughter. You know what I’m saying? We’ve been kicking it a lot lately and I’ve been having more time and it’s good. She’s growing up, our relationship is super tight. It’s what I always dreamed of.” A few months later, in November, Cudi confirmed that he’d make one more album to get out of his current deal with Republic Records. From there, Cudi says that he’s not sure what fans can expect from his career afterward.

Cardi B Turns Up During Community Service, Says She’s Back In The Studio

If there’s one thing you can always count on Cardi B to do, it’s turn up. For the past few days, much of the rap diva’s time has been spent serving court-ordered community service. She was previously sentenced to 15 days after taking a plea deal. She ultimately failed to meet the requirements earlier this year but thankfully, she was granted an extension by the judge. Now she has until the end of February to finish her sentence.

In her usual style, the Grammy Award winner has been showing up to work in designer duds, documenting many of her outfits for followers on Twitter. In nearly every upload, she’s been reminding users to “obey the law,” and not make the same mistakes she has. Since it went down in 2018, Cardi has been able to do plenty of reflecting on the infamous strip club brawl that landed her in court.

As DailyMail reports, the 30-year-old and her crew were accused of targeting Angels Strip Club employees over a personal dispute. Prosecutors say that Cardi asked eight people to visit the Flushing, Queens establishment and assault two sisters, Baddie Gi and Jade. A plea deal was rejected by the New Yorker in 2019. Following that prosecutors presented the case to a grand jury. At that time, they also obtained an indictment with two felony charges.

“The victims allegedly had glass bottles hurled at them, alcoholic drinks thrown in their faces and one woman’s head was slammed into the bar,” attorneys alleged while setting the scene. When all was said and done last year, Cardi wound up pleading guilty to two misdemeanour charges. She got off nearly scot-free, as a whopping ten other counts (including the aforementioned two) were dismissed.

Cardi B’s Community Service Style

Ahead of the weekend, the “Hot Shit” hitmaker checked in with Twitter to reveal yet another OOTD. “My brains are burning from waking up early,” she wrote in the caption. “Community service then studio… But I did the crime, ‘I only have myself to blame,’” she added. Fans were obviously pleased to see her look, but what’s really creating a buzz is Cardi’s confirmation that she’s back in the studio.

Fans have been waiting for the follow-up to her debut album, Invasion of Privacy, since 2017. If we’re lucky, maybe the fashionista will have her sophomore project on DSPs before the end of the year. Keep scrolling to see more of Cardi’s designer community service looks, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.

University Of Idaho Murder House To Be Demolished This Semester: Report

There are still several months until we’ll see Bryan Kohberger officially stand trial for the accused brutal murder of four University of Idaho students. Before his identity was revealed to the public late last year, internet sleuths all over the world came together in hopes of finding a suspect and getting answers for the families and friends of the victims. True crime fanatics anxiously wait to see what will happen this summer. Still, occasional updates surrounding the tightly gag-ordered case continue to pour in.

According to the latest from NewsNation, the student residence/party house where Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle, Ethan Chapin and Madison Mogen were stabbed to death is due to be demolished in the coming weeks. Local police, the FBI, the prosecution, and the defense have all had an opportunity to thoroughly examine the chilling crime scene. Now, the residence’s windows are boarded up to prevent curious bypassers from snooping or sensationalizing.

Moscow Murder House’s Final Months

The news comes from the U of Idaho’s president. He stated in a memo that the home’s owner extended an offer to the school that they’ve since accepted. As a result, the property at 1122 King Road in Moscow will be demolished later this semester. “This is a healing step and removes the physical structure where the crime that shook our community was committed,” the recent note explains. “Demolition also removes efforts to further sensationalize the crime scene.”

The residence spans nearly 2,200 square feet and has three levels. It contains six bedrooms and three bathrooms, two of the former on each floor and one of the latter. Additionally, it has a highly accessible sliding back door where Kohberger is believed to have entered the residence. The victims were found in or near their bedrooms on the second and third floors. The discovery was apparently made by friends several hours after the tragic murders. At this time, their school is working toward building a memorial dedicated to the victims on the Moscow campus.

Kohberger’s Chilling SoundCloud Content

As he awaits his fate behind bars, the world has been diving into the accused killer’s harrowing past. Last month, it was revealed that he previously tried his hand at rapping. He even uploading one of his songs to SoundCloud many years ago. Labelled “Rise up instrumental- test,” the nearly four-minute posting finds Kohberger saying some chilling things that potentially foreshadow his alleged murderous antics in Moscow.

“You are not my equal / You are evil but I’m devil,” he tells listeners. “End your life you get no sequel / Leave your loved ones crying like some seagulls / Don’t f*ck with us / You underestimate.” Elsewhere in the news, it’s been said that the former Ph.D. student’s phone was searched. It allegedly contained numerous photos of one of the young women he killed, though authorities have yet to confirm. Listen to Kohberger’s SoundCloud song here, and check back later for more news updates. RIP.
