Cardi B Gives Offset a Kiss & Steamy Dance At Her Birthday Party
But the party didn’t end at the club. Per the Stories videos, she and her friends continued dancing into the morning at what appeared to be a hotel, where Offset was once again present. In his own Instagram Stories videos, he shared clips of the birthday girl — now in a comfy gray outfit — twerking in front of him. In one clip, he puts his hand on her bottom as she grooves. It only got spicier from there. The Migos rapper also shared in his Stories a video taken by a friend showing Cardi B jumping on top of him as he was lying on the floor, giving him a horizontal lap dance. Offset also shared a video of himself dancing on a balcony overlooking Vegas, which appeared to hint at how he feels about the mother of his daughter, Kulture. He wrote in the caption, “Wh...
A Timeline of Cardi B and Offset’s Relationship
Billboard has compiled a timeline of the all-star hip-hop couple’s relationship, from collaborating on music to filing for divorce. Dec. 2016: Cardi B Teases “Lick” Collaboration With Offset While it is possible that the two never met during recording, the pair were linked nearly a month prior to the Gangsta Bitch Music Vol. 2 release. In a since-deleted Instagram post by Cardi B, she danced and made it rain in the club while teasing the collaborative track. Feb. 2017: Super Bowl Date According to a Migos interview with Rolling Stone, Offset admitted that after watching Cardi rise as an artist, he had a publicist set up a dinner in New York with a group of women, including the Bronx rapper in early 2017. “I was like, ‘Damn, I am on her!’ ” h...
Juice WRLD’s Mom Pens Heartfelt Letter in Honor of World Mental Health Day: ‘You Do Not Have to Suffer Alone’
In celebration of the new website, Wallace penned a poignant open letter on her experience as a loving mother of a child who struggled with mental health, and how she hopes other parents can feel inspired by her words, and learn that “you do not have to suffer alone.” “If we can help even one Mother and their son or daughter through our work here, Jarad’s death will have meaning and his positive, loving, creative spirit will endure,” she wrote. Read it in full below. Jarad and I were always close. We liked to play pinball together. We had long conversations about his future and about the world in general. But like any mother and son, we had our issues. Jarad came from a family where academics were the highest priority, so I wanted him to focus on school, but he...
CupcakKe Drops Off New Single “Elephant”: Stream
Last year, CupcakKe announced her intention to quit the music industry. The Chicago MC has clearly scrapped those plans, however, as she’s spent 2020 releasing a new single every couple of months. Following this past spring’s “Discounts” and “Lemon Pepper”, she’s back today with “Elephant”. On this new cut, CupcakKe calls out all her various critics — from those that say she needs to jump on more collaborations to the folks who have a problem with the way she handles press. “They like, ‘cupcakKe you gotta do more, why the fuck you don’t do features?’” she raps, before putting these complainers in their place: “Want a verse? Gotta pay me/ Ain’t shit free, no JT.” (The latter line is a reference to the formerly jailed JT from City Girls.) Elsewhere, she seems visibly bothered that fell...
Cardi B Shares Birthday Billboard From Kulture & a Mysterious ‘Sir’
While the “Bodak Yellow” star did not specify who bought the billboard for her, fans in the comments believe that the gift came from Offset. Cardi filed for divorce from Offset on in September after a three year marriage, according to the Fulton County Magistrate in Georgia. Their hearing is scheduled for Nov. 4 at 10 a.m. If the speculation is true, and Offset was the “sir” behind the billboard, this wouldn’t be the first time the Migos rapper did something grand to win back Cardi. After the duo split in 2018, he crashed her headlining set at Rolling Loud in Los Angeles. Offset showed up with a lavish floral arrangement that read “TAKE ME BACK, CARDI,” a gesture that didn’t go over so well. He and his flowers were removed...
Jay-Z Posts Bond & Pays Fines for Alvin Cole’s Mother & Other Wisconsin Protesters
Alvin Cole was killed on Feb. 2 by Wauwatosa police officer Joseph Mensah, less than three minutes after police began to chase him through the parking lot of Mayfair mall. Back in June, when the music industry took a pause to reflect on Black Out Tuesday, Jay-Z and Team Roc took out full-page newspaper ads across the nation honoring George Floyd. The ads featured a quote from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. from a speech in Selma, Alabama, in 1965. The ad was signed by Jay, as well as the families of those who’ve lost sons to police violence (including Botham Jean, DJ Henry, Terence Crutcher and Antwon Rose II), activists (Van Jones), attorneys (National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyer, Benjamin Crump, Innocence Project), radio host Charlamagne That Go...

Benny the Butcher (photo by Setor TsiKudo), Lil Wayne (photo by Ben Kaye), and Big Sean (photo by Philip Cosores) Benny the Butcher has announced a new album called Burden of Proof, due out next week. As an early look, the Griselda rapper is sharing a collaboration with fellow rap veterans Lil Wayne and Big Sean that’s appropriately titled “Timeless”. Benny’s prolific label mates, Conway the Machine and Westside Gunn, have each already dropped three albums (!) in 2020 alone, but the New York-bred MC is slowly but surely catching up: Burden of Proof marks his second effort of the year following his joint record with DJ Drama from July. Clearly going for a quality over quantity approach, Benny enlisted renowned beatmaker Hit-Boy (Kanye West, Beyoncé) to produce the entire project. ...
Big Boi and Sleepy Brown Call on Killer Mike for Remix of “We the Ones”: Stream
Three years ago, Big Boi and frequent collaborator Sleepy Brown released the track “We the Ones” on the self-titled EP from Organized Noize. Featuring CeeLo Green and Big Rube, the song served as an uplifting rally to “stand up to oppression.” Three years later, the theme is more relevant than ever, so Big Boi and Sleepy have called on Killer Mike for a new remix of “We the Ones”. Much of the original cut remains intact, including CeeLo’s hook and the spoken word sections from Big Rube. Killer Mike comes in for the third verse, telling stories of individuals taking different paths towards betterment, especially when it comes to religion. He talks about “a cousin named Robert”, a “robber” who found “conviction through religion” while serving time: “Reformed, Robert told me, ‘We should only ...
