The “Bodak Yellow” rapper turned to her social accounts, where she responded to allegations that the pair had broken an agreement over money, blamed the property’s “greedy owners,” and claimed to have receipts.
“We paid those people $10,000 IN CASH to rent the property for a whole 24 hours that same day 6am to 6am the next morning and we went over by ONE hour which we paid overage fees to the realtor for in March,” she writes on X. “Now they wanna finesse us trying to say we told them it was a TikTok video when that was nowhere in the contract and like they didn’t hear the whole song playing and see how long we was shooting….Why would it take us 24 hours to shoot a TikTok.”

According to an 11-page complaint, the hip-hop heavyweights targeted a distinctive property and “devised a plan” to use it “without paying full market value,” according to Rolling Stone.
The document alleges that reps for Cardi and Offset had booked the property anonymously “under the false pretense” it would be used for a TikTok video.
Now, notes Cardi, the gloves are off. “The problem is people wanna find loopholes and get over but IRON YOUR BEST SUIT BITCH I’ll see you in court!!!!,” she writes.
And this is not the realtors fault…they been trying for months to settle this.Its them greedy owners wit their ugly ass house— Cardi B (@iamcardib) September 17, 2024
In a separate tweet, she adds, “And this is not the realtors fault…they been trying for months to settle this. Its them greedy owners wit their ugly ass house.”
The lawsuit was filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court, and noted that the music video produced during the shoot, “Like What,” had garnered more than 26 million views on YouTube since its release six months ago.

Hey, what’s up? I’m Lindsey Havens for Billboard News, and we are here with the icon, the legend, Nelly Furtado. Thank you so much for coming in.
Nelly Furtado:
Hi! Thanks for having me.
We are such big fans of yours, and congratulations. You have an incredible new album, ‘7.’ It has been a minute since your last album. I believe it was 2017, so tell me about how you knew that this was the time to come back and why you wanted to release an album now.
It just felt like the right time. I had taken some time to just live and go through a lot of personal things, and so I had a lot to write about A. And then B, I felt really called back to the industry. I started hearing a lot of my music on, you know, social media, especially TikTok, a lot of different DJs started remixing a lot of my old materials. I did really feel authentically that it was time to make some new music and some new vocals for everyone to remix. The music on this album is really informed by like me going out playing shows, reconnecting with audiences, brand new audiences as well, kind of really reflecting that in the sound of the album. Just kind of, I feel like I gained, like, a solid understanding of why people like my music and particular music that they love, and why, and I kind of really did keep that top of mind when I was recording this new album.
Makes sense that you said you’re kind of going out and having fun and living life because I get that in the production and the beats of this music, but then the songwriting goes so deep into everything else that you were experiencing.
Keep watching for more!
The first year of the TikTok Billboard Top 50 chart featured an array of music that reached the fledgling ranking’s upper reaches, with 21 songs topping the weekly ranking from its inception as of the Billboard charts dated Sept. 16, 2023.
Tommy Richman’s “Million Dollar Baby,” however, was a leg above the rest.
From its coronation at No. 1 on the May 18 survey (after debuting at No. 2 the previous week) to its to-date final week atop the ranking (July 20), Richman’s summer hit crowned the TikTok Billboard Top 50 for 10 uninterrupted weeks. What’s more: as of this writing, “Million Dollar Baby” has never fallen below No. 6. In fact, the latest weekly chart (Sept. 14) finds it up one spot to No. 5.
But “Million Dollar Baby” is a fitting longest-running No. 1 for the chart’s inaugural year. To recap the story you’ve probably already been told: on April 13, Richman uploaded a 14-second clip of the song to his TikTok. It exploded immediately, having racked up nearly 14 million plays as of mid-September. Two days later, he was posting more clips featuring different music, but the demand in the comments was clear: “Drop million dollar baby rn,” one read. He released the song “Selfish” a few days later on April 19, and yet the pleas persisted: “More million dollar baby clips.”
The next week, it happened. After a few more videos promoting its impending release (including one from April 23 that has even more views – over 18 million – than the original), Richman dropped “Million Dollar Baby” on April 26, and the song immediately shot to the top of the TikTok Billboard Top 50, as well as charts worldwide. On the multimetric Billboard Hot 100 (which does not include any TikTok activity), it both debuted and peaked at No. 2 on the May 11 tally and spent the next nearly four months in the top 10.
Pent-up demand for the song helped drive initial numbers, but in the months since, “Million Dollar Baby” has had its own dance trend that’s dominated the conversation. By the end of the summer, TikTok crowned the tune its song of the summer.

According to their statement, at approximately 6:17 p.m., an officer was flagged down near the American Heritage Plaza after someone alerted them to an individual requiring immediate medical attention.

The full statement posted to Gallup Police Department‘s social media account reads:
“On September 15, 2024, at 6:17 p.m., an officer from the Gallup Police Department was flagged down near the American Heritage Plaza located at 702 US Highway 491. The officer was alerted to an individual requiring medical attention and promptly requested an ambulance.
The individual was subsequently transported to a local hospital in Gallup, NM, where he was pronounced dead. Following this, the hospital requested the presence of detectives and the Office of the Medical Investigator. The deceased has been identified as 70-year-old Toriano ‘Tito’ Jackson from Tulsa, Oklahoma.
This information is derived from a preliminary investigation that is still ongoing. Investigators are actively interviewing witnesses and examining both physical and electronic records. The Department’s understanding of the facts and circumstances may evolve as additional evidence is gathered and analyzed.”
While an official cause of death is yet to be revealed, according to initial reports from Entertainment Tonight, Steve Manning, a longtime Jackson family friend an former manager, revealed that Tito is believed to have suffered a heart attack while driving from New Mexico to Oklahoma.
As the Jackson family grieves this monumental loss, Tito’s sons—TJ, Taj, and Taryll—paid a heartfelt tribute to their father on Instagram, expressing their profound sorrow. They shared:
“It’s with heavy hearts that we announce that our beloved father, Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Tito Jackson, is no longer with us. We are shocked, saddened, and heartbroken. Our father was an incredible man who cared about everyone and their well-being.”
The statement continued, “Some of you may know him as Tito Jackson from the legendary Jackson 5, some may know him as ‘Coach Tito,’ or some know him as ‘Poppa T.’ Nevertheless, he will be missed tremendously. It will forever be ‘Tito Time’ for us. Please remember to do what our father always preached, and that is ‘Love One Another.’ We love you Pops.”
The statement concluded with a personal note signed by his three sons:“Your boys, Taj, Taryll, and TJ.”
Tito was an integral part of the Jackson family’s musical dynasty. He, along with his brothers Michael, Jermaine, Marlon, and Jackie, formed The Jackson 5 in the 1960s. Their debut single, “I Want You Back,” became an instant sensation, reaching No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, as did their subsequent hits “ABC” and “I’ll Be There.”
Beyond his work with The Jackson 5, Tito pursued a solo career, releasing his debut album Tito Time in 2016. His single “Get It Baby” reached No. 19 on the Billboard Adult R&B Airplay chart.
Tito’s passing follows the deaths of his younger brother Michael Jackson in 2009 and their father Joe Jackson, the family patriarch and early manager of The Jackson 5, who passed away in 2018 at the age of 89.

According to the latest chart blast, the impressive run sees the pop star maintaining her dominant streak, and if Carpenter secures another week at the top, it will mark her 16th cumulative week at No. 1 in the U.K in 2024.
The rest of the Top 5 remains a Carpenter stronghold as well. “Espresso” continues to brew success and is predicted to hold steady at No. 2, while “Please Please Please” won’t have to beg to hold its spot at No. 4. Sabrina’s Short n’ Sweet era has taken over the U.K. charts, with multiple singles continuing to perform strongly.

Meanwhile, Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars are climbing the chart with their lounge-pop duet “Die With A Smile,” which could break into the Top 5 for the first time at No. 5.
Fresh entries also shake things up this week, as The Weeknd’s euphoric new track “Dancing In The Flames” is poised to debut at No. 9, making it the highest new entry of the week.
Tate McRae is also gaining ground with her pop hit “It’s Ok, I’m Ok,” expected to debut just outside the Top 10 at No. 11, while Playboi Carti’s “All Red” is eyeing a No. 13 debut, potentially marking his first solo Top 20 entry in the U.K.
Elsewhere, U.S. soul singer Teddy Swims is set for another chart success with his single “Bad Dreams,” aiming for No. 15, which would be his third Top 20 hit in the U.K.
Meanwhile, Charli XCX looks to make a comeback with a remix of her track “Talk Talk” featuring Troye Sivan, which could re-enter the chart at No. 20.
With only a few days until the official rankings, it looks like Sabrina Carpenter’s latest single still holds its flavor and will likely continue to reign supreme when the U.K. Singles Chart is updated on Friday (Sept. 20).
