The USWNT has fallen to its lowest-ever world ranking despite winning the inaugural Women’s Gold Cup. The US won the tournament with a 1-0 victory over Brazil. However, the team’s 2-0 loss to Mexico in the group stage is believed to be what caused their drop in the rankings. The USWNT is now fourth behind Spain, England, and France.
Prior to the loss to Mexico, the USWNT were 40-1 against their southern neighbor. The previous sole loss came in 2010. Furthermore, the two goals they conceded to Mexico were the first goals the US had conceded to a CONCACAF opponent in 33 matches. “I think it just shows how far the game is coming and there’s no easy games anymore. And if we don’t take care of business and we don’t execute, this is to be expected,” interim head coach Twila Kilgore said after the loss.
As Kilgore noted, the USWNT has spent the last year learning that there are no longer any easy matches in women’s soccer. At last summer’s World Cup, the USWNT only beat Vietnam. The team drew their other two group matches against the Netherlands and Portugal. Portugal actually came a post’s width away from beating the US, which would have eliminated the defending world champions in the group stage.
Furthermore, this was followed by the team crashing out in the Round of 16 against Sweden. The US had 22 shots against the European side. In fact, the US had more shots on target (11) than the Swedes had total shots (9). However, it wasn’t enough. The Swedes played their signature style of ultra-defensive football that has frustrated the Americans in the past. Regulation and extra time both came and went with no goals, meaning it was going to penalties. A string of late misses from the Americans, including sky-high efforts from Megan Rapinoe and Sophia Smith, gave the Swedes the chance to win. Lina Hurtig’s effort initially looked like it had been saved. However, it bounced back across the line to give Sweden the win. Swedish goalkeeper Zećira Mušović was named Woman of the Match for her record-breaking 11-save performance.
It goes without saying that being a major star like Cardi B comes with a great deal of pressure. According to her, the fear of being criticized often holds her back from sharing how she feels. During a recent appearance on Big Boy’s Neighborhood, the hitmaker opened up about being afraid to say much of anything about polarizing topics. The femcee claims that this is because she doesn’t want to get “canceled.” She explained that while critics frequently accuse her of being scared to release new music, the truth of the matter is that she’s scared to do “everything.”
“That’s why I just disappear for a long time because I feel like fame stripped me from myself. And now I’m like being back to myself,” she described. “There’s a lot of music critics that just be like, ‘Cardi is scared to drop an album. She’s scared to drop music.’ No, I’m scared to do everything. I’m scared to talk about politics, I’m scared to talk about my life, I’m scared to talk about anything.”
Fortunately, however, Cardi hasn’t let her fears stop her from sharing her music completely. Today, for example, she unveiled her highly-anticipated new single, “Enough (Miami).” She also teamed up with SZA to hop on a remix of Flo Milli’s viral hit “Never Lose Me” which dropped today. This all appears to be a part of Cardi’s return to her old self, which she teased in a heartfelt apology to fans last week.
“I want to apologize to my fans. To my fans, to myself, and to the people that love me for losing myself,” she told viewers during a livestream. “This has been a really hard journey to be back myself again.” What do you think of Cardi B admitting that she’s afraid of getting canceled?

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West were a power couple for many years. However, their marriage eventually fizzled out all the way back in 2021. At the time, Kanye was saying some damning things in the media, and it became too much for Kim. Overall, fans thought they would be together forever. That said, it was just not meant to be. These days, Ye is married to Bianca Censori, while Kim is currently dating Odell Beckham Jr. They both seem to be quite happy, albeit supportive of one another.
For instance, Kim was recently at a Vultures listening party. During this appearance, Kim was standing right next to Censori. No one could get a read on how they feel about one another, however, they stuck around each other nonetheless. A few days later, Kim and Bianca found themselves in the same vicinity, this time at Rolling Loud California. Although there is no footage of the two together, there is a chance they crossed paths. Either way, Kim seemed to be enjoying her time amongst the crowd.
Unfortunately for Kanye and Ty Dolla Sign, the reviews of their latest show have not been positive. Instead of actually performing, they just vibed to their own music on stage. Overall, fans expect a better product and the reactions on social media dictate as such. Regardless, Ye and Ty are massive artists, so this won’t hurt them that much. Although it may force them to adjust how they go about their performances, moving forward. Hopefully, this isn’t going to become the norm not just for them, but other artists as well.
Let us know what you thought of the performance, in the comments section down below. Do you think it was as bad as people said it was? 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.
Kanye West is an artist who’s always been able to see the value of a great performance. His career is full of legendary on-stage moments from his rendition of “Hey Mama” honoring his late mother at the 50th Grammys, to him and Jay-Z unpacking a Watch The Throne classic 12 times in a row in Paris, to his brief rekindling with Drake for a special Larry Hoover Benefit show. In the past 10 years of his career, however, he’s become a fan of the listening party.
But despite assumptions the iconic moments haven’t slowed down a bit since. The unveiling of his Yeezy Season 3 collection alongside the debuting of material from The Life Of Pablo is one of the most recognizable moments of his career. A few years later he captivated fans all over again with a trio of DONDA listening experiences preceding the album’s release. Fans watched early material transform over time and shared in the surprise as artists like DaBaby and Marilyn Manson appeared. All of that is to say that a special VULTURES listening party at Rolling Loud Los Angeles was rife with potential to be his next legendary moment. Despite all of that potential, West delivered a night that won’t exactly enter the textbooks of rap history.
Kanye West’s Underwhelming Evening

To start, many of the fans in attendance were fully expecting a performance instead of just a listening party. Rolling Loud itself didn’t exactly build up expectations for a live performance, but they were also careful about their wording. “Vultures headlining,” and “Vultures live” were used to describe the set. For fans paying attention to West’s recent run of shows it was easy to connect the dots, but it’s clear that many others came in expecting a more conventional concert.
Those disappointed fans got the chance to express themselves in the comments of a Rolling Loud post about the show. Underneath pictures of the duo on-stage attendees shared their thoughts. “I’m grateful to see Kanye Live but this was probably his worst performance ever” one of the top comments on the post reads. “This should’ve just been a Fortnite concert” another agrees.
The bulk of Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign’s “VULTURES” show was similar to many of the other recent listening parties. It got underway around 40 minutes after the scheduled start time, which felt early by West’s standards. The pair made the long walk onto a stage in the center of the crowd sporting ski masks and black jackets. The stage itself sat underneath a dome-like pair of crisscrossing beams. They served as overhead lighting throughout the performance while massive smoke machines covered all the artists on stage in a thick mist.
As you’d expect, the listening party was a star-studded affair. Among the least surprising guests was North West, who brought a group of friends along sporting matching Vultures shirts to dance to her now beloved guest verse on “TALKING.” Despite being an expected addition the adorable moment was undeniably one of the highlights of the night. YG was also there which was unsurprising as he’s performing at the festival alongside Tyga at the festival on Friday.
A High-Profile Guest List

Throughout the night numerous guests joined. Freddie Gibbs marked the first surprise appearance of the night and fans erupted when he came on stage to mime his standout verse on “BACK TO ME.” Additionally Quavo, Rich The Kid, and Bump J were all in attendance for their appearances on various VULTURES cuts. Though the crowd was excited as guests emerged on stage, the allure of seeing a surprise collaborative performance didn’t quite transition into a listening party.
As the set went on, more and more attendees appeared to realize that they weren’t there for a performance. Compared to viral videos showing seas of hyped crowds at Rolling Loud the demeanor of the audience felt stuck in a permanent state of anticipation. Throughout the night the DJ pulled a classic live performance move and cut out memorable refrains from various songs to let the audience’s singing take over. But it was impossible not to notice throughout the night that the enthusiasm was fading.
A Series Of Unfortunate Teases

West and Ty left the stage after around 40 minutes with their performance failing to reach the 9:30 time promised despite getting off to a late start. Around 30 minutes into their set, in full view of the crowd, the pair both dramatically removed their masks and headgear on stage. It would have been the absolute perfect time for them to pick up a microphone and surprise the crowd with an actual performance. But it never came to be and the pair departed the stage after playing shortened versions of every song from VULTURES 1 and the previously debuted Backstreet Boys-sampling “EVERYBODY.”
What followed was unfortunately the crystalizing moment of the entire evening. Following a 5 minute interlude where fans waited in bulk for some kind of encore, the crowd erupted in cheers as “Father Stretch My Hands Pt. 1” came on over the speakers. The expectation of the audience was clear, West would come back out and finish his set with a few classics, but that never happened. As one hit after another came on over the speakers, “Flashing Lights,” “Runaway,” “Fade,” and more, fans slowly realized that the show was over.
One of the most fascinating features of Rolling Loud’s main stage is that planes fly shockingly low overhead as they land at LAX. It happened throughout the night and fans repeatedly pointed their cameras at the passing aircraft in bulk as they soared by. Around 10 songs deep into the DJs set following West’s exit the Watch The Throne classic “Otis” came on the speakers. Just as the song shifted into the intense final verse yet another plane passed overhead, shortly followed by West’s lyric “Can’t you see the private jets flying over you.” Had he been performing the track live, the moment could have been yet another instantly timeless entry into Kanye West’s career. Instead fans were left with the perfect lasting image of the VULTURES Rolling Loud set. Watching an accidentally brilliant moment fall short of its potential as more and more of the fans in attendance began shuffling away from the empty stage towards the exit.
Cam’ron sounded off on Nick Young after the ex-NBAer recently shared a salacious story about how Draya Michele and Gilbert Arenas once hooked up. “Shoutout to Shabazz [OG], he made a great point. He said, ‘Y’all n-ggas is not having them morning meetings with yourself in the mirror.’ You know, that three second to 33 second meeting with yourself in the mirror. Cause y’all n-ggas is just running around saying everything. How is your man getting a blowjob in the backseat change your life? He getting his d-ck sucked — pause — but it changed your life? Why are you commenting on that n-gga getting fellatio’d and you wasn’t even getting fellatio?” Killa asked on It Is What It Is.
However, Cam’ron is not the only person who has been sounding off on Young for his comments. Patrick Beverley has defended Michele after Young’s story. “Sidenote Yal foul. Not cool, not at all. @GilsArenaShow Yal old asl talking about another man Lady. Not cool gang. @PatBevPod,” Beverley wrote on X, formerly Twitter. However many people in Beverley’s comments tried to defend Young and Arenas, saying the two men were just trying to “warn” Green about Michele.
Fans Call Out Neighborhood Talk For Comparing Joie Chavis & Trevon Diggs To Draya Michele & Jalen Green
However, it’s not just Young catching heat for his comments about Michele. The Neighborhood Talk tried to ride the viral Michele train when announcing that Joie Chavis and Trevon Diggs were expecting a child together. The popular gossip outlet announced Chavis’ pregnancy by sharing a tweet comparing her to Michele. There is a 10-year age gap between Chavis and Diggs and a 17-year age gap between Michele and her partner, Jalen Green.
However, fans were not here for the comparison. “10 is decent and she don’t got no kids his age,” one fan argued. “10 and 17 years are very different ,” added another. “25 and 35 is NOT news ,” noted a third. As seen in the examples, most people felt that Neighborhood Talk was simply trying to conflate an unrelated issue for clicks. Do you feel that the situations are different?
