Over the past few months Plies did what he could to help get people to the polls and vote for their freedom and future. Now that the election is over the Floridian is getting back to business and taking a few of his Hip-Hop peers to court over copyright infringement.
According to TMZ, Plies has sued the likes of Megan Thee Stallion, GloRilla and Cardi B for sampling his song “Me & My Goons” without proper clearance. In the lawsuit Plies states that his 2008 cut was sampled on Megan and GloRilla’s collaboration song “Wanna Be,” which ultimately landed a verse from Cardi B on the remix. For her participation in the hit song, Cardi done got herself wrapped up in the lawsuit as well.
Interestingly enough, Soulja Boy seems to be the first to have taken Plies’ beat and ran with it on his 2010 track “Pretty Boy Swag.” After listening to all of these songs, the man might have a strong case.
Per TMZ:
The suit also names Meg’s Hot Girl Productions, Soulja’s former imprint Collipark Productions, and record labels Universal Music Group, Collective Music Group and Interscope as defendants.
If the suit is successful, the damages could cost everyone plenty of shiny pennies.
We’re not taking any sides on this one, but it looks like Plies might have an open and shut case. Just sayin’.

It’s no secret that Cardi B has been going through the motions lately following the birth of her third child and a very public and messy split from her ex-hubby, Offset.
Still, the Bronx bombshell continued to grind to get that paper, but unfortunately, it seems like Cardi is going through some health issues as she took to Instagram to announce she was forced to cancel an upcoming show due to health concerns. Taking to her page to let fans in on her current situation, the “Bodak Yellow” rapper revealed that she’s been in the “hospital recovering from a medical emergency the last couple of days and I won’t be able to perform at ONE MusicFest.”
Though she didn’t specify exactly what led to her hospitalization or what the emergency was, fans are naturally wishing her a speedy recovery as she gets the medical attention she needs.
Scheduled to go down on Oct. 26 and 27 at Central Park in Atlanta, ONE MusicFest will still feature quite a few other fan favorite artists including the likes of Earth, Wind & Fire, Method Man, Redman, Fantasia, Gunna, and Ari Lennox amongst many others.
In short, attendees are still going to have a blast.
Still, there’s only one Cardi B, and she’ll surely be missed. Get well soon, ma.
While she’ll surely be missed, there will still be a lot of acts we know fans will be more than happy to witness during the event.

It’s been almost a month since Cardi B gave birth to her third child, and she’s since been doing her best to get back into the hourglass shape she’s become known for. But apparently, she’s not taking to kindly to people accusing her of doing so with the use of plastic surgery.
According to Page Six, the Grammy Award-winning rapper clapped back at social media users who are flooding her comments with accusations that she went under the knife to shed her baby weight after she posted some pics of herself in seemingly great post-birth shape. Though she wonders why her face is still chubby, Cardi seems proud of the progress that she’s been making with the weight-loss. When some commenters said that the plastic surgeon messed up her physical degree, she was quick to respond as she’s not the type to take any disrespect laying down.
Per Page Six:
“Y’all really need to relax ..This is how my body REALLY LOOKS LIKE,” she tweeted alongside recent photos of her wearing a nude black dress.
“My body looks exaggerated in the other video cause I have a 5X faja [girdle] on…I want yall to think wit yall brain ..Yall was just praising my body couple days ago …do yall think I went and got surgery in 2 days?”
Another netizen then said Cardi’s “stomach always looks like it’s about to rip apart” and bashed her for “focusing so much on how you look” when she just gave birth to her youngest daughter.
The Grammy winner responded, calling the social media user a “potato.”
“Bitch you literally look like a f–kin potato yet you talking bout my looks wit a passion ….This why I be dragging you bitches by yall draws cause bitch why you got soo much nerves,” she wrote alongside photos of the fan and a russet potato.
That last one reminds us of Cardi’s infamous “Mega Mind” clapback at a hater back in the day. Just another reminder that if you come for Cardi B, then prepare to get roasted on social media for all to see.
That being said someone reminded everyone that women can’t get any plastic surgery for six months after giving birth to a baby. A tweet that Cardi saw fit to share herself as people came with their knives out following her recent social media posts.
What do y’all think? Did Cardi B get some kind of surgery done, or are people hating to hate? Let us know in the comments section below.

The relationship between Offset and Cardi B has been all over the place as of late and though the two are going through a divorce, Cardi just gave birth to the couple’s third child. But it seems like she might’ve done some dirt while impregnated with Offset’s bun in her oven.
According to Page Six, Cardi took to Instagram Live on Wednesday (Sept. 25) to go off on her estranged husband, Offset. While doing her live she claimed that Offset was threatening to take back all of the lavish gifts he blessed her with during their union.
“I find it funny that n—as think that they can f—k on anything, but when I start talking to n—as, you want to threaten me with taking s—t that I f—king worked my ass off for. You want to play those games with me? We gon’ play them games too.”
She added, “You want to take my s—t because I’m moving on? Move on. Why can’t you move on?”
Not one to keep his Twitter fingers idle, Offset jumped in the comments and blew everyone’s mind away with a low-key disturbing accusation.
Per Page Six:
Amid their ongoing divorce, the “Clout” rapper took to the comments of his estranged wife’s Instagram Live on Wednesday to accuse her of sleeping with someone else while she was pregnant.
“U f–ked with a baby inside, tell the truth!!” he wrote, per a screenshot from the recording, which was shared on X.
Not long after, Cardi seemingly confirmed the accusation on her X account, posting, “AND DID !!!!!!”
It’s unclear when the alleged hookup took place, but the “Money” hitmaker filed for divorce from the former Migos rapper in July.
Well, can’t say we saw that one coming!
AND DID !!!!!!

While we don’t blame Cardi for moving on with her life and entertaining other men after her separation, sleeping with another man, allegedly, while having your ex’s seed growing inside of you is kind of out there. On the flip side, Offset has been accused of cheating on Cardi multiple times during their marriage, so we can’t be out here judging people. To each their own, right?
Needless to say, the divorce proceedings in this case have the potential to get very ugly and best believe social media will be right there willing and waiting to get into the nitty gritty of every detail and magnify it by a thousand on X, Facebook, Instagram and maybe even Donald Trump’s struggle social media website too.
What do y’all think about Offset calling out Cardi B for sleeping with another man while preggers? Let us know in the comments section below.

On Thursday (Sept. 12) the Grammy Award-winning rapper took to Instagram to reveal that earlier this week she gave birth to her third child with a picture of herself holding her newborn seed with a caption that read “The prettiest lil thing 🌸🌸 9/7/24 💖💖💖.”
The birth of her third child comes a month and change after Cardi B filed for divorce from her baby daddy, Offset, which immediately led to X users to chime in with their thoughts and opinions. Surprisingly enough Cardi announced her third pregnancy shortly after filing for divorce which future sent Xer’s into a spiral with astonishment and shock. Needless to say, Cardi B isn’t scared to take on life’s challenges alone if she feel she has to. Luckily she’s a multi-millionaire so that’ll definitely help her get by.
Still, it seems like Offset has no problem co-parenting with his soon to be ex-wife so at least she’ll be getting some support from her former beau going forward. Good man… well, depending on how you look at the entire situation as a whole. Just sayin.’

Grand opening, grand close. Cardi B has reportedly filed for divorce from her husband, Migos rapper Offset, again.
The couple’s relationship has long been considered tumultuous at best thanks ever present rumors of infidelity, so social media is having a field day at the news, and the circumstances.
Page Six reports that the Bronx rapper’s decision to call it quits was confirmed by her rep. Reportedly, they tried to work things out at the top of the year, but they couldn’t get to a better place in their relationship, allegedly. A source claims that the latest rumors of Offset cheating is not what sparked the divorce.
“They’ve grown apart. That’s what drove her to this decision more than anything else,” the source told Page Six. “This is something she wants to do.”
Cardi is reportedly seeking primary custody of their two children, daughter, Kulture, 5, and a son, Wave, 2. Recently, the Bronx was spotted in New York City, hiding what looks like a prominent baby bump. However, she has yet to confirm if she is pregnant.
Although the couple was married in September 2017, since then they have separated multiple times (she filed for divorce in 2020, but it didn’t take), with their spats often being made public, usually by themselves. In late 2023 she shared that she was “single for a minute” but they were spotted out on a date since.
If there’s one thing social media always goes up for, it’s Cardi B and Offset drama, and today’s divorce revelation is no different. Peep some of the crazier reactions (the Offset slander is…intense) in the gallery.

The devil works hard, but Candace Owens constantly works harder to remind us she is the ultimate OP. Like the rest of us, Cardi B is tired of her coontastic shenanigans.
Cardi B had time for Candace Owens after the edgeless conservative fixed her lips to talk about Sonya Massey’s tragic death at the hands of the police.
Candace Owens claims that the senseless shooting was not racially motivated, urging Black people not to fall for the bait. In her recent Spaces Chat on X, formerly Twitter, Wednesday (July 24), Cardi B called her out on her bullsh*t.
Cardi B Calls Out Candace Owens For Her Lack of Sympathy
“Today she said something so disturbing about the Sonya Massey case. For you to sit here and say that ‘Oh not everything is racial. I know that this is sad, but this is not something racial. There’s more white people that get killed by the cops,’ girl shut up,” Cardi B said.
She continued, “You don’t feel one little bit of empathy, a little bit of sympathy of how this woman died? There was no argument, there was no conflict, there was no raised voice, and she got shot.”
The Bronx Hip-Hop star’s comments were a direct reply to Owens ridiculously saying, “Police officers are human beings, there are mistakes that happen. The idea that now you’re going to use this situation to then try to make Black Americans believe that this happened simply because she was Black is pointedly ridiculous.”
Owens also tells Black Americans to “not take the bait,” adding that unarmed white Americans are more likely to be killed by police than Black Americans.
What?
Cardi B Reminds Candace Owens She Is A Black Woman
Cardi B called C A P on that notion, saying that Massey’s killer, Deputy Sean Grayson, could most definitely still be racist even if he never said a racial slur.
“He knew in the back of his head because she was a Black woman that he was going to get away with it,” the “Bodak Yellow” crafter continued. “Not only did he think that, but the department thought that because they didn’t tell her son or her father that a cop shot her. It had everything to do with the fact it was because she was Black. So nobody has to say a racial slur for you to know that it was racially motivated.”
Cardi B also hit Owens with a stark reminder that she is a Black woman and that what happened to Sonya Massey could also happen to her.
“This could be you one day. And it could be actually worse because you the type of person that if a cop stop you, you would get sassy at the mouth. As soon as you get sassy at the mouth, the muthaf**ka would shoot your a**,” the Grammy-award-winning artist said.
The BX native also shot down Owens’ claims that President Biden’s statement on the shooting was politically motivated.
“What happened to her has nothing to do with this f**king election. It has everything to do with the sh*t that’s been happening for years in this country,” Cardi said. “There is no justification. It was just straight kill. And America has to see that so people can understand why [there is] outrage with cops.”

Cardi B and Joe Budden have what appears to be a contentious connection after the famed podcast host mentioned the rapper and entertainer on a recent episode of his eponymously named podcast. After saying that Cardi B will only release singles from this point on, the Bronx star fired shots at Joe Budden in an X Spaces rant.
On episode 742 of The Joe Budden Podcast, a discussion surrounding Rob49’s new “On Dat Money” single and video featuring Cardi B cropped up with the cast pondering if a sophomore album was coming from the “Bodak Yellow” rapper. Budden quipped that Cardi won’t release an album, a refrain he has uttered in previous episodes, stating that she’s now becoming a “singles” artist.
The comments made their way to Cardi, who hopped on Spaces Thursday night (July 18) and unleashed a fiery tirade of words towards the retired lyricist and popular media personality.
“Bro I gave you a lap dance two times in Starlets,” Cardi says in leaked audio of the Spaces event. “You was high as f*ck. High as f*ck on coke, n*gga. I don’t give a f*ck when people talk sh*t about me. It’s the fact you always talk sh*t about me, Joe Budden. Out of nowhere, you would think I did something to this n*gga. For the past two years, this n*gga has only talked bad things about me.”
Starlets is a popular strip club in Queens that Budden and his castmates are known to frequent.
While it is true that Budden has been a tough critic of Cardi, he’s also heaped heavy praise and even hailed her debut album Invasion Of Privacy one of his favorite projects of the modern era along with other positive commentary.
On X, Budden fired off a string of replies stating that he’ll no longer mention Cardi on his program.
“I promise you and can assure you, i will not cover a single thing this girl does for the remainder of her career… Peace & love,” began the thread. “I have also never gotten a lap dance from this lady. I also have never done coke.”
Cardi also took to X and shared a message with her fans regarding her passionate response to Budden.
I wanna say this to Bardi gang or anybody who’s just a fan of my music or even my craziness… I have my good days and my bad days but you know what, whether it’s good or bad I couldn’t be happier with the obvious anticipation for my album..Sometimes I get a little aggressive because yall know I don’t like to be told what to do but I promise you it’s coming THIS YEAR. Thank you for the love and anticipation and always holding me down
On X, the reactions to Cardi B firing shots at Joe Budden are coming in fast. We’ve got reactions below.
