Cardi B Explains Why It Bothers Her When Fans Call Her Mexican

Earlier this week, Cardi had a viral interaction online discussing her heritage with fans. In a series of tweets she stood up for her Dominican identity and took offense at those who called her Mexican. She even brought up Ice Spice, who caught the tweet herself and posted a response. Some fans misinterpreted their interaction as being more hostile than it was. The two had to share some pictures of them together at the Vanity Fair Oscars party and publicly bond over their Dominican heritage just to shut down the beef rumors.

Now in a new TikTok live, Cardi explained further why she takes issue with being called Mexican by fans. “A lot of people keep saying damn, why is it I feel offended when people call me Mexican? Because I’m not Mexican! I’m not Mexican. My nationalities don’t have the same culture. We speak the same language, we have different dialects. We don’t eat the same food, we don’t eat the same nothing. Call a Nigerian Ghanaian. Call a Haitian Jamaican. Call a Jamaican a Haitian. Call Guyanese a Trini and you tell me how they gonna feel. You tell me how they gonna feel!” she says in the livestream. But that’s only the beginning of her explanation. Check out the full clip of Cardi talking about her nationality below.

Cardi B Talks Taking Offense From Fan Comments

Later in the video, she elaborates further. “Y’all do that sh*t to irritate me. And not only do you y’all call me a Mexican, y’all call me a dirty Mexican. So, of course, I’m gonna defend myself every single time you guys do it. You’re not gonna keep erasing my nationalities” she explains. The discussion concludes with her once again refusing to accept fans trying to erase who she is.

After years of teasing, Cardi is gearing up to drop her long-awaited second album this year. She’s already dropped two new singles so far in the lead up to the project. What do you think of Cardi B’s explanation for why she takes offense when fans call her Mexican? Let us know in the comment section below.

With J. Cole dropping an entire new mixtape featuring a response to Kendrick Lamar, rap beefs are fresh on a lot of fans minds right now.

Earlier this week, Doja Cat first announced that “MASC” was on the way. With the announcement she shared the artwork that would eventually come with the single. Fans weren’t exactly crazy about the close-up photo of her hair that she chose. The backlash was loud enough that she eventually had to respond to it, asking fans to move on.

Ari Fletcher Twerks In The Club, Bobbi Althoff Can’t Keep Up

Ari Fletcher has worked tirelessly to build a social media empire to support herself and the young son she shares with G Herbo, which is commendable considering she likely could’ve gotten just as rich from flaunting her body online. Though she’s gone under the knife more than once, the content creator is consistently in the gym keeping her figure looking slim thick, not to mention cooking up delicious meals on her YouTube channel that explain her ample curves.

Even with such a hectic schedule, Fletcher still finds time to have fun with her gal pals. She and Yung Miami spend plenty of time together, throwing it back and acting bad like only they can. Elsewhere, Yosohn’s mom has been spending time with podcaster Bobbi Althoff, who previously faced criticism for using Black creators for clout and seemingly taking inspiration from their ideas. It seems Fletcher wasn’t too concerned about the recently divorced entertainer jacking her swag, as Althoff could never twerk like the black-haired beauty was during their night out at the club.

In the video above, the women turn up to Sexyy Red, Fletcher’s bodacious behind bouncing effortlessly in her shiny black pants. Beside her, Althoff awkwardly sits on a bench, pulling out some unusual hand motions while rocking back and forth. At one point, the latter attempts to match her friend’s energy with some twerk-like moves, but she still has some work to do.

Since her early days as a podcaster, Bobbi Althoff has faced allegations of being an “industry plant” and “culture vulture.” Despite this, she continues to create content and keep her fans laughing, including during a recent link-up with Funny Marco. At the time, Althoff paid her Black male counterpart $20K for the role he played in launching her career, much to the internet’s pleasure. Read all about that at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

G. Dep’s Prison Release Comes After 13 Years Behind Bars: Video

The story of G. Dep is unlike that of any other rhymer, which is exactly why we’re so curious to see what’s next for the former Bad Boy artist. As HipHopDX reports, Trevell Coleman was signed to Diddy’s label in the late ’90s. He only got to show us a small bit of his lyrical talent before he went away to prison. In late 2023 he was one of just over a dozen people who New York Governor Kathy Hochul granted clemency. At the time, Dep became eligible for parole years sooner than before, and he was finally released today (April 4).

His official Instagram page has been keeping followers up to date with the latest, from the prison gates to Coleman’s first meal as a free man. The 49-year-old’s family was happy to pick him up at Fishkill Correctional Facility in upstate NY. At the time, they emotionally greeted him with a prayer circle.

Before the clemency grant, Dep was unable to petition the parole board until the 15-year mark of his sentence for the 1993 murder of John Henkel. It wasn’t until 2010 that the “Special Delivery” artist turned himself in, but his heartfelt apology and the work he’s done to change his life behind bars helped prove that he’s worthy of a second chance at life.

Rather than reporting on constant arrests, it’s a welcome break to hear so many stories of incarcerated artists coming home. Unfortunately, B.G.’s return from prison has been cut unexpectedly short as he allegedly broke probation by working with known felons like Gucci Mane and Boosie Badazz. Would you like to see G. Dep return to the studio now that he’s a free man? Let us know in the comments, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Sexyy Red & Yung Miami Twerk Battle To “Get It Sexyy”

Megan Thee Stallion is hard at work on a new album, which means 2024 is bound to be another Hot Girl Summer after Diddy tried to have us all acting bad in 2023. However, the Houston native has said she’s unsure how many “pop that a**” songs she plans to include on the tracklist, as she hopes to remind the world of her rap skills first and foremost. Some music lovers are disappointed by this news, but others see it as a chance for other rap divas to shine with their NSFW tracks, such as Sexyy Red.

Over the past year, the St. Louis native has steadily dropped bangers on us, from “SkeeYee” to her latest hit, “Get It Sexyy.” The latter’s music video quickly went viral thanks to appearances from Drake, Adin Ross, and Soulja Boy among others. The 2000s iconography has us feeling seriously nostalgic, but besides dropping a visual, the mother of two has other ideas for promoting her song. Among them is a social media twerk battle with Yung Miami, which some think Sexyy championed.

For her part, the Hood Hottest Princess put on one hell of a show, flaunting her natural body in a white crop top and red booty shorts with “FREE MY BABY DADDY” written across the back. She showed off her splits, making her cheeks clap on the ground before effortlessly getting back up without missing a beat. When Miami responded she was also looking cute and casual at home, bending over to bounce her behind in unison with the beat to “Get It Sexyy.” Because she was nowhere near as theatrical as her competitor, viewers voted the Florida native as the loser but still applauded her for looking so good.

Though she looks good twerking, Yung Miami is still under public scrutiny for being named in Lil Rod’s troubling Diddy lawsuit. So far, the City Girl’s been denying any involvement in drug trafficking or being a sex worker for her former lover, but the internet isn’t totally convinced. Read all about those allegations at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Ray J & Sukihana Link After Princess Love Split: “All You Gon’ See Is Bad B**ches”

Try as they might to make their marriage work over the years, Ray J and Princess Love have decided it is in their best interest to separate (again). On her end, the poker player has been out and about with John Boyega, causing romance rumours to fly. For his part, Ray’s focus remains on building his empire and spending time with beautiful, wild women. Earlier this week, he and fellow Love & Hip Hop star Sukihana linked up, and the 43-year-old had a message, seemingly for his ex-wife, revealing what type of time he’s on in this season of life.

“Now that I’m free and I can do what I want, stop complaining,” the R&B artist told his followers on Instagram Live. “All you going to see is bad b**ches and pu**y,” Ray declared after showing Suki and other women shamelessly twerking for him. “So f**k what you talking about. We up, we so up. We don’t give a f**k,” the Mississippi native said with a straight face.

Now that the footage is circulating on blogs, followers of the former couple are sharing their thoughts. “I can’t wait till Princess pulls a Ciara and gets her a Russell Wilson,” one user encouraged the reality starlet. “Sounds like he’s trying to convince himself and not the world lol,” another said of Ray’s explicit rant.

Ray J obviously has his mind on women during this transitionary phase in his life, but not all of his thoughts are as salacious as they come across on social media. The “Sexy Can I” hitmaker is keen to strike up a TV deal with Chrisean Rock so that they can both continue to feed their families and rise to new levels of fame.

Rick Ross & Drake Drama Leaves Joe Budden In His Feelings

Joe Budden and Drake have had a lot to say about one another lately, and not all of it has been positive. However, the former did share on a recent episode of his podcast that there’s at least one artist that he’d be sad not to see Champagne Papi in the studio with anymore. While chatting with his co-hosts, Budden spoke about the apparent drama that’s unfolding between Drake and most of his contemporaries right now, noting that he wouldn’t be bothered by a halt in collaborations between the 6ix God and Future.

“I wasn’t the biggest fan of What A Time to Be Alive so who cares if Drake and Future never record again in my book. If Rick Ross and Drake are not rapping together no more, this hurts,” the 43-year-old said. “This is impactful. No more ‘[Aston Martin] Music’?” Budden asked in disbelief. As HipHopDX reports, the main clue right now as to why Rozay unfollowed his long-time friend is a tweet from Metro Boomin urging hip-hop heads to “pick a side” after dropping We Don’t Trust You last month.

Joe Budden Wishes for Drake and Rick Ross to Resolve Their Conflict

The former correctional officer appears as a guest on the collab album from the renowned producer and Hendrix, which also includes Kendrick Lamar’s feisty “Like That” diss aimed at Champagne Papi. Rather than jumping in the booth to respond, Drake went low by sending VIP tickets to Ross’ ex, Cristina Mackey during a recent tour date, and has been hinting at crafting the perfect comeback to his newfound opps.

At this point, it’s looking like Drake is feuding with many of his past collaborators, though we still haven’t exactly pieced together why. Earlier this week the father of one fueled rumours that he and Travis Scott are on the outs by appearing to “shoot” at a prop of the Houston native’s head while performing their “MELTDOWN” collaboration. Read all about that at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Fat Joe & Lil Kim Perform At The Apollo, Rap Diva Brings Out Signature Robot Moves: Watch

For the past few years, female rhymers have been holding things down in the hip-hop community, from big players like Nicki Minaj and Cardi B to rising stars such as Ice Spice and Sexyy Red. Before we met all of those artists, one woman was holding onto the title of the Queen of Rap – Lil Kim. The New York native pushed boundaries so that those coming after her would be free to express themselves fully and find success within the industry rather than be taken advantage of by executives.

Though she’s no longer rhyming as feverishly as we once heard her, Kim remains in the public eye and still knows a thing or two about performing. For instance, her dear friend Fat Joe tapped her to join him on stage at the Apollo Theater in New York City earlier this week, which she happily obliged. In the video below, the “Love Stick” hitmaker pulls out some of her signature dance moves, including the robotic motions she often goes viral for pulling out consistently over the years.

Fat Joe Surprises New York Crowd With Queen Bee Lil Kim

Kim’s fans are always happy to see her still in action, but critics still have much to say about the significant changes to her appearance over the years. “Personally, my heart hurts for this woman, and Black women in general when I see this video,” one Twitter/X user wrote, pulling out an old photo of Kim to compare to her notably whiter look in 2024. “We’re just lying to ourselves; the only thing I see is a Black woman in pain and nothing else,” they speculated. “I love when seasoned artists still have enthusiasm to perform,” someone else chimed in, praising both Joe and his friend.

Elsewhere in the Queen Bee’s world, Lil Kim’s been cozying up with a younger man who goes by Tayy Brown. It’s unclear what their current relationship status is, though we can tell the New York native has plenty of feelings. Read all about that at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news.
