We’re only a few weeks away from the premier of the 5th and final season of Netflix’s hit series YOU and while fans of the series have been patiently waiting to see how the series wraps up the story of Joe Goldberg and his disturbingly obsessive ways, Netflix has enlisted the talents of Cardi B to let y’all know just how bananas things are going to get, and boy did she deliver.
In a new promo clip for Season 5 of YOU, Netflix gave Cardi B a first look at the trailer for the upcoming season, and she gave the kind of reaction you can expect from a Bronx representative. Seemingly hype and excited after witnessing what Netflix has in store for fans of the show this coming April, Cardi animatedly tells everyone “When I tell you … girl, I am shook. I cannot wait, and it’s like they got a little, cute surprise. I cannot wait for you guys to see the trailer. Y’all gonna gag. Got me gagging!”
A known fan of the series herself, Cardi B has been linked to the show in the past and according to Deadline, people even tried to get her cast in the show but a las, it never happened.
Per Deadline:
Fans of the Penn Badgley vehicle and/or Cardi B — plus the extremely online — will recognize the marketing move as a nod to the two entertainment industry figures’ Twitter-first relationship. The two first began a meme-filled correspondence when the Gossip Girl alum name-dropped the musician in an interview, citing her as a person who has an “authentic relationship” with fans on social media and contrasting that with his self-described inaptitude with online platforms. Since then, the two have switched profile icons and talked glowingly about each other during press appearances. Netflix’s X account even once changed its bio to read: “Petition to get Cardi B to guest star in Season 4 of You!” (That obviously did not happen, but her track “I Like It” did play in the first episode of that season.)
We’re low-key surprised Netflix didn’t jump at the chance to include a Cardi cameo, as that would’ve only helped the series’ popularity even more, but hey, it is what it is.
Check out Cardi B’s reaction to the upcoming trailer to YOU below and let us know if you’re excited for the season premier, which will hit Netflix on April 24 in the comments section below.

Offset just shook things up by announcing a show in Moscow, even though his label’s parent company, Universal Music Group (UMG), cut ties with Russia back in 2022 after the country invaded Ukraine.
The Atlanta rapper hopped on his IG Story to drop the news—he’s hitting the stage at MTC Live Hall on April 18. UMG made it clear where they stand when they shut down their offices and pulled all business from Russia, saying they’re sticking to international sanctions and helping with humanitarian aid for Ukrainian refugees. They kept it solid, refusing to work in the country while the war was still going on.
Now, Offset’s move got people talking. Is he going against UMG, or is he doing his own thing outside the label? Most Western artists have stayed away from Russia since the war popped off, so this show is a bold move. Offset hasn’t said anything about the political side of it—he’s just focused on performing. But pulling up to Moscow while the rest of the industry keeps its distance? That’s bound to turn some heads. Whether this show goes down without a hitch or stirs up some drama, one thing’s for sure—Offset is making his own rules
Prior to this, Offset was also in the news for his very public divorce from Cardi B. Their split was messy, with cheating rumors flying on both sides, but after all the drama, things have quieted down. Fans were left wondering what was next for the “Bad and Boujee” rapper, especially with all the attention they got during their rollercoaster relationship. Recently, Cardi was spotted out with NFL star Stefon Diggs, and of course, people are talking. The two were seen together, sparking rumors that they might be more than just friends.

A New York City hotspot announced a special Women’s History Month menu honoring industry trailblazers like Cardi B and Lil Kim, among others.
The midtown Manhattan Asian fusion restaurant Sei Less has become a beloved dining destination for many, including numerous celebrities since opening its doors in January 2022. And it’s adding to its prestige with the release of a new menu honoring several prominent women in the music, entertainment, and media industries for Women’s History Month. The new prix-fixe three-course menu is now available to all patrons at Sei Less as of Monday (March 3) for $50 per person.
The new menu features cherished items by celebrity diners such as the Angie Martinez appetizer of shrimp satay with peanut sauce, and the Cardi B featuring lobster poached in a “beurre blanc” butter with shallots and shiro-dashi wine. Actress and philanthropist La La Anthony is honored with her favorite Beijing Chicken, and the chocolate mousse is named after the Queen Bee of Hip-Hop herself, Lil’ Kim.
The Women’s History Menu is a continuation of Sei Less’ tradition of honoring the culture through their culinary offerings curated by veteran chef Allen Ma. In 2023, they released a special Hip-Hop 50 menu honoring New York City icons such as Jay-Z, Nas, Fat Joe, Ja Rule, and French Montana, among others. In February 2024, they celebrated R&B and Hip-Hop love songs from Babyface, Alicia Keys, Ne-Yo, and SZA with a “Lover’s Menu.”
“We’re very fortunate to receive such amazing support from this incredible group of women from the greater New York area, so as a heartfelt tribute, we wanted to honor these remarkable trailblazers and their impact on culture in our own special New York way,” said Sei Less founder Dara Mirjahangiry in a statement. “We’re proud to celebrate their creativity and influence with a special menu for Women’s History Month tailored to some of their favorite dishes whenever they visit the restaurant. They have been long-time supporters of Sei Less and this gesture is simply our unique way of expressing our gratitude.”

After what feels like years of going back and forth in a court of law, Tasha K and Cardi B have finally come to an agreement to get Cardi B the $1.1 million she’s currently owed as a result of a defamation lawsuit that the “Bodak Yellow” rapper won in 2024.
According to HipHopDX, the two sides have agreed to a five-year payment plan that will see Tasha K slowly but surely pay off her $1.1 million debt. In return, Cardi is set to drop her objection to Tasha’s bankruptcy filing that the YouTuber filed at the end of last year. Part of the deal includes Tasha’s word that she will no longer talk about the Grammy Award-winning rapper in any “derogatory, disparaging, or defamatory” ways.
HipHopDX reports:
The agreement was made in bankruptcy court and only covers a small portion of the overall debt she owes to Cardi – which is $3.9 million. However, Tasha will still be on the hook for the rest of the money when she finishes her bankruptcy repayment plan, as it’s noted that “the Almanzar Claim is non-dischargeable.”
The battle has been ongoing since Cardi B first filed the lawsuit in 2019 over what her lawyers said was a “malicious campaign” to hurt Cardi’s career and reputation. She made videos claiming Cardi had committed sex acts “with beer bottles on fucking stripper stages,” while others accused her of being a prostitute who’d contracted herpes.
Bardi won in 2022, which resulted in Tasha (real name Latasha Kebe) being ordered to take down over 20 illicit and defamatory videos about Cardi and never post about the “Bodak Yellow” rapper again.
As we all know $1.1 million is basically walking around money for someone like Cardi B, but this was never about just money, it was the principle of everything. For that, we can’t be mad at Cardi for going hard for her coin and her reputation. Cardi made sure to even take Tasha’s $640 that YouTube owed her back in 2023. She was not playing!
While Tasha might be done with her Cardi B saga, she still isn’t in the clear as she now has to deal with the likes of Kevin Hart who also hit her with a defamation lawsuit back in 2023.
Like the saying goes, if you don’t have nothing nice to say about someone don’t say anything at all, ’cause these days you might get sued.

Not only is Cardi B once again single and ready to mingle, but she’s looking to drum up some thirst and buzz, as she’s taken to social media to show off her latest booty-“enhancing” accessory.
On Monday afternoon (Jan. 27) the Grammy Award-winning rapper had the internet talking when she took to X and announced that she “got my butt crack pierced.” As weird and painful as that sounds, many people assumed that Cardi was capping or joking around as that just sounds like an unnecessary piercing.
People must’ve forgot that they’re talking to Cardi B here so when people began demanding proof of piercing life, the “Bodak Yellow” rapper released a close-up pic of her newly minted gluteus cleft, and lo and behold, there stood a piercing for all to see. With a caption that read “Do I lie ?” you can clearly see some studs standing out under her heavily tattooed buttocks.
Naturally, many X users expressed their dismay at Cardi’s new booty accessory, as she is a 32-year-old mother of three, but as we’ve learned over the years Cardi’s going to Cardi, B. She could be a 50-year-old mother of six kids and still pop up with a piercing on her clitoris just because. Heck, she might even share a pic of that, too!
You never know with this woman, but you have to respect it.
As to how Offset is taking news of his ex-wife’s new accessory remains to be seen, but we bet he doesn’t like the fact that she shared a picture of it. Just sayin’.

Cardi B also says Offset has failed to be in his newest daughter’s life as well. “[You said] you haven’t accepted the divorce [papers] because you want to see the kids.

Just days after running into each other at a club, Cardi B and Offset are once again going at it on social media. This time around Cardi is demanding that her former hubby man up and sign their divorce papers so she can get on with her life.
According to Page Six, the former Hip-Hop lovebirds have again engaged in a public feud for all to indulge in. Cardi B took to X to call Offset a “Babymomma acting a*s b*tch.” Needless to say Offset took the bait and responded in a now-deleted tweet saying, “I’m baby mama now cuz u lied for no reason used me as a sacrifice off a comment from a stranger” and went on to accuse Cardi of making herself look like a “h*e” who’s only concerned with getting “d*ck.”
Y’all knew that wasn’t going to go unanswered.
Clapping back as quick as her cheeks do in her videos, Cardi B responded saying, “So dating because I’m single means I’m just worried about d–k?? You sound like a dummy.. trying to be fake nice after you did what you wanted from the beginning trying to push a narrative to these people.”
Surely it didn’t end there.
Per Page Six:
The mom of three then told her estranged husband to “f–k off” and sign their divorce papers “TODAY.”
The “Versace” rapper replied, calling Cardi “single and miserable” and said she has mentioned him in all of her live chats on X Spaces.
The “I Like It” emcee shot down her ex’s shade, writing that he is “just mad” because she is enjoying her life and men are interested in her — despite her having three kids and being in her 30s.
“I don’t bother none of the hoes you f–k but every guy I talk to you dming and talkin s–t about me like let’s not!” she tweeted and deleted.
Responding to her tweet, Offset said he’d sign the divorce papers once she “splits the custody” of their three children.
“When u split the custody I will u ain’t worried bout music u worried about d–k everybody can see it all u talk about [is] d–k and in clubs burnt no music no nothing just drama,” he tweeted and deleted.
We still feel these two will reconcile at some point, have another baby, and end up bitter enemies all over. Just sayin’.

After a pretty messy weekend between Cardi B and her estranged hubby, Offset, it seems like the two soon-to-be divorcee’s were able to put their differences aside for a minute…kinda. Well, not really.
According to Page Six, Cardi popped up at Offset’s birthday celebration in a see-through bodysuit and with all eyes on her. Cardi made sure to show everyone what she was working with as she is once again on the market. Needless to say, her baby daddy noticed and attempted to get her attention as well.
Per Page Six:
The mother of three — who gave birth to her and Offset’s third child in September — held onto a railing inside the club while the “Versace” rapper, whose real name is Kiari Cephus, looked on from a level above.
Elsewhere during the same outing, Offset was seen throwing wads of cash at Cardi — born Belcalis Almánzar — however, she apparently wasn’t fond of the gesture, as she was spotted shooing the money away from her.
The “I Like It” emcee, 32, didn’t allow the interaction with her ex to bring her down and she was later seen smiling and laughing it off.
Of course Cardi would shoo Offset’s money away from her. Hilarious.
The moment comes after text messages between the two were leaked on social media showing that Offset is still trying his darnedest to lure Cardi B to his honeycomb hideout, but to no avail.

Cardi B is not letting up on Tasha K. The rapper says the blogger is avoiding paying her with a bankruptcy filing.
As spotted on TMZ the Bronx, New York native is not taking no for an answer when it comes to her settlement. The “Bodak Yellow” performer sued Tasha K for defamation after the media personality made several videos claiming Cardi had contracted a sexually transmitted disease and other shocking allegations relating to her short stint as an exotic dancer. After a two-week trial the Tasha K was found liable for “defamation, two other forms of wrongdoing, invasion of privacy through portrayal in a false light, and intentional infliction of emotional distress.” As a result she was ordered to pay Cardi B $1.25 million dollars in damages and cover her legal fees.
Since then the popular YouTuber has filed for bankruptcy, claims she is financially tapped out and doesn’t have to means to make good on the debt. Becalis’ legal team aren’t buying her crocodile tears and infer that she could be potentially hiding her assets in offshore accounts. Cardi B’s lawyers came with receipts and point to the Tasha K’s newest apartment rental which costs about $7,000 a month. Also in the court documents are references to her Instagram account where the woman born LaTasha Kebe can be seen sporting designer fabrics and expensive jewelry.

If we know anything about Cardi B it’s that she’s all about getting that bag. But when she revealed her latest endorsement of clothing brand Shein, people reacted with shock and criticism as the “W.A.P.” rapper is known for rocking high-end clothing brands.
As surprising as it was to see Cardi B co-sign a clothing brand that many people wouldn’t admit to wearing just because it’s, well, “cheap,” some people began to roast Cardi for daring to promote affordable coats and jackets, saying she must be strapped for cash if she’s willing to go this route. “Shien?!?! Are you kidding me. That’s embarrassing,” one commenter said. Still, many others came to her defense in the comments section reminding people that Cardi came from the bottom to the top responding with comments like, “She humble she grew up hustling she buys shein and. Nothing wrong with it and she paired it with red bottoms she knows.”
Not one to take any disrespect lying down, Buzzfeed is reporting that Cardi addressed her haters herself by going on X Spaces and reminding everyone she’s still getting plenty of money.
Per Buzzfeed:
“People say that I’m surviving on Shein deals and brand deals,” she began. “Y’all like to talk about tour deals a lot. I want to let y’all know I could wake up tomorrow, sign a contract, and have half of $65 million — or half of $70 million – in my bank.”
Adding that she was offered that much on her “off year,” she continued, “I don’t want to take tour deals until I announce my album. When I announce my new album I know they’re going to up it. You’ve got to move smart like a bitch. You can’t act like you’re hungry, especially when you’re not.”
“I’m not surviving, baby. Spend like about $3 million in a month,” Cardi said, later adding that she’s waiting for an $80 or $100 million deal. “As long as my bills is paid, I can buy whatever the fuck I want whenever the fuck I want. Shit, I can go spend $500,000 on a fucking car tomorrow. I could buy me a $300,000 watch tomorrow. Bitch, I could buy your mother.”
Yeah, don’t try to slander Cardi’s money moves cause she will respond.
