Social media knows that Offset and Cardi B have a history of showering each other with lavish gifts for the heck of it. So y’all already knew that when Cardi’s birthday came around, Offset was going to go all out as he has no problem splurging on his wife/baby mama.

According to Page Six, Offset broke his piggy bank and blessed Cardi B with a half a million dollars worth of Hermès bags for her 31st birthday this past Wednesday (October 11) and while that may sound like a bunch of purses, it was actually only three. Yes, three Birkin bags damn near totaled $500,000. That’s when you know you ballin’ outta control.

Still, the couple could afford it as they’re both very successful in their careers and while it may seem like a bit much for three accessories that can easily be lost at a venue or on a plane, Cardi ain’t complaining.
Per Page Six:
Cardi B squealed as she opened the first, which contained a hot pink crocodile Kelly bag; a similar style recently sold for close to $92,000 on 1stdibs.
But her next purse blew the first out of the water.
As she shimmied to the strains of Madonna’s “Vogue,” Cardi unboxed an extremely rare Faubourg Birkin — often called the “House Birkin,” as it’s modeled after Hermès’ Paris storefront on the Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré.
One of the purses is currently listed on 1stdibs for a staggering $298,975.
“My favorite!” Cardi screamed upon unwrapping the unique carryall, joking, “I don’t even think I’m ready to see the other one.”
Offset suggested she “take a shot” before opening her last box, which housed a glossy gold-colored crocodile Birkin.
A similar version sold at a Christie’s auction in 2020 for $72,000, bringing the total value of Cardi’s birthday gifts to approximately $462,975.
Most people won’t ever touch a Hermès bag nor ever see $400K, but for Offset and Cardi B it was just another night at the Delilah in West Hollywood.

Tasha K will still have to find a way to run Cardi B her coins for lying on her name.
YouTuber Latasha Kebe, aka Latasha K, found out the hard way that you can’t hop on Al Gore’s internet and say anything you want about people, especially one of the most popular Hip-Hop artists in the world.

Tasha K tried her best to avoid paying Cardi B more than $3.4 million she was awarded in January 2022 by a judge in a defamation lawsuit by filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in May.
Unfortunately for Kebe, Judge Scott M. Grossman hit her with a gut check by ruling she is still on the hook for that massive check that her mouth wrote that her ass couldn’t cash.
Per Digital Music News:
Judge Scott M. Grossman ruled on Thursday, October 5, that Kebe cannot “discharge” the $3.4 million owed to Cardi B through her Chapter 11 filing — so she’ll still be on the hook for the payments even after exiting bankruptcy. While bankruptcy law allows insolvent individuals to evade certain debts, money owed because of “willful and malicious injury” caused to others is an exception.
Attorneys for Cardi B insisted that the exception undoubtedly applied here, as Kebe incurred the debt through “spreading false and defamatory statements” intended to cause career damage to their client. Kebe’s lawyers offered no rebuttal, and Judge Grossman ruled on Friday that the money owed was ineligible for discharge.
Welp.
A Brief Rundown of The Lawsuit
Cardi B, born Belcalis Almanzar, let Kebe know she had time when she hit Kebe with a lawsuit over what she describes as a “malicious campaign” on social media and YouTube with the intent to harm the “Bodak Yellow” rapper’s reputation.
In the videos that Cardi B’s attorney failed numerous times to have taken down, Kebe alleged that the Bronx native had herpes, was a prostitute, took drugs, and cheated on her husband.
Those words from Tasha K would cost her cause now she is screaming broke to avoid Bardi, but that argument has fallen flat.
Hopefully, Kebe’s misfortune will serve as a lesson to other gossip bloggers.

A Megan Thee Stallion/Cardi B tour and joint album? It could happen.
Spotted on Complex, the head of Flamin’ Hot University teased the idea of a collaboration album and tour with her “WAP” collaborator following the success of their newest joint effort, “Bongos.”

In the interview, the Houston rapper said that she and her buddy Cardi are slowly building an EP together as they continue to deliver bops for the ladies to shake their booties to.
Per Complex:

“I literally think that’s the route that we’re going. So I’ve done two songs for her. And now I feel like I’m in a space where I know exactly what songs I want her to do for me. So we’re really building a little EP already. We’re gonna have enough music that we need to go on tour together. Me and [Cardi] going out together will be so amazing. We are already so cool. And I feel like we got similar fans. So if she wanted to do a little EP, I would definitely be so down to do that, but we are making enough music to already have that.”
Megan Thee Stallion Is Working On New Solo Music
In the same breath, the “Big Ole Freak” crafter also revealed that she is working on new music for a forthcoming album, telling the website she is “getting to the meat” of her next solo project.
She also seems to be in a much better space mentally, adding, “I’m making music that I really, really love,” and that she is “making music that I’m not about to have to fight with anybody about.”
Thee Stallion could be alluding to her ugly public battles with her label 1501 Certified Entertainment, which are ongoing.
The rapper is also coming off a massive legal victory after Tory Lanez was convicted of shooting her three years ago. He is currently beginning his 10-year prison stint, and his struggle mugshot is making its rounds on social media.

It looks like the Nicki Minaj and Cardi B beef just went up another notch as the two women’s husbands are now squabbling on social media.

On Saturday night (Sept. 16), videos of Nicki’s hubby, Kenneth Petty, hit social media in which he and some of his goons were “outside” in New York City looking for Offset after the two got into a weird back-and-forth via Instagram DMs. It seems like Offset rubbed Petty the wrong way by sliding into one of Petty’s homie’s DMs and basically welcomed whatever smoke Petty and company had to offer by calling them “p***y” and saying they “don’t got money for war.”

Apparently, someone in Petty’s crew took to IG and threatened to slap up anybody at the VMAs if they dared to sit in their row of seats, and Offset had an opinion about it for whatever reason.

Feeling disrespected, Petty rounded up some of his peoples and took to the streets in search of Offset and posted a video of themselves calling him out as they stalked a location where Offset was supposedly laying up at. Talking about the situation and calling Offset out, the crew seemed like they were ready for whatever, but luckily, for everyone, nothing actually went down.

We’re not sure where they got their intel from but Offset wasn’t anywhere near that spot as the man was off on his grizzly living his best life. Responding to Petty and his crew’s video, Offset uploaded a video of himself laughing off the threats as he got off a private jet. “These ni**as is broke,” he said in the video.

Yeah, we’re not feeling how this situation is unfolding now. It’s one thing to have Cardi and Nicki throw shade and subliminals on records, but once their hubby’s begin to taunt each other on some street ish, that might turn into a tragic situation at some point. Cooler heads need to prevail for the sake of everyone involved.
What do y’all think of this situation? Sound off in the comments section below.

With the VMAs, there always seems to be some drama. Many viewers thought Megan Thee Stallion had some drama with Justin Timberlake backstage, but the leader of the Hot Girls shut that all down.
On a night when Megan Thee Stallion made her big return to the music world, hitting the VMAs’ red carpet looking as fine as she wanted to be in a sheer number, as fans waited to see her join Cardi B on the VMAs’ stage to perform their new released single “Bongos.”
Before the two rappers and good friends hit the stage, an incident caught on MTV VMAs’ backstage camera had users on X (formerly known as Twitter) reacting.
A video of Megan Thee Stallion while getting ready for her “Bongos” performance, seemingly involved in a heated back and forth with Justin Timberlake, who was in attendance as part of the N’Sync reunion, began making its rounds.

What Really Happened Between Megan Thee Stallion & Justin Timberlake
Following their performance of “Bongos,” reports quickly surfaced that the exchange between Thee Stallion and Justin Timberlake was much ado about nothing.
Per Vulture:
While fans were ready to ride for their stallion, Variety confirmed with a source that there was no fight at all, saying the interaction was actually “very cute.” Timberlake allegedly told Megan that it was nice to meet her, but Megan wanted more than a quick hello. “She said, ‘No, no, this don’t count, this don’t count. We gotta meet proper,’” the source explained. Maybe a Megan Thee Stallion and’ N Sync collab was the surprise Taylor Swift was hoping for.
To further debunk there is no bad blood between them, the Houston rapper shared a video on her Instagram account to prove everything is all good, writing in the caption, “I just talk with my hands.”

As the 2023 BET Hip Hop Awards approach, the list of nominees is headlined by superstars Cardi B & 21 Savage.
On Thursday (September 7th), the list of nominees for the 18th annual event celebrating the best of today’s Hip-Hop was announced by the network. Cardi B and 21 Savage reign at the top of the list with each of them attaining an impressive twelve nominations each. Drake comes in third with nine nominations while DJ Khaled and Burna Boy come in with seven apiece.

Days after Cardi B revealed that she and Megan Thee Stallion would be collaborating on a new cut dubbed “Bongos,” the video has finally dropped and it’s everything you’d expect from two well-built women like them.

Grooving, vibing and twerking to every single beat of the bouncy track, Cardi B and Megan put on quite the show as they strut their thick as molasses physical degrees in various outfits that leave little to the imagination. From the poolside to the beach front, Cardi and Megan simply ooze sex appeal and might send some viewers into overdrive as they rub up on each other like they fixing to get into a relationship forreal.
Y’all ain’t ready for this.

Though Megan didn’t address the Tory Lanez sentencing in any way, shape or form, the two did take shots at all the “h*es” that they don’t like and given their history of rap beefs with other female rappers (mostly Cardi anyway), one could assume who they might be talking about.
Check out the visuals to Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion’s “Bongos” below and let us know your thoughts on the track and on the video in the comments section below.

After a day of teasing a huge announcement and sending her fans into a frenzy, Cardi B finally revealed the big news, and it was a doozy.

Taking to Instagram to show fans what they can expect in the near future, Cardi B revealed that her next single will feature the one and only Megan Thee Stallion and will be dubbed “Bongos.” The new single will mark their first collaboration since their 2020 hit “WAP,” which dominated the Billboard charts and ultimately went on to go six times platinum.

Posting a picture of the cover art for her new single, Cardi B let her fans know when they’ll hear her next hit in the caption writing, “BONGOS Cardi x Megan Thee Stallion 9/8.” With the surprise reveal coming less than a week after Nicki Minaj dropped her much hyped single “Last Time I Saw You,” many fans feel this was Cardi’s way of showing up the Queen artist and proving she’s still got the streets on smash. Could be, but whatever the case might be, we’re not mad at all.
While we haven’t gotten any snippets of the cut or info on what the content might be, you have to wonder if Megan Thee Stallion will address Tory Lanez getting hit with a decade behind bars for shooting her foot on that fateful night in July 2020. Truth be told, we kind of hope she does in some way, shape or form, but it looks like we’ll have to wait until Friday (Sept. 8) to find out.

Does Cardi B have the Midas touch?! We’re not sure but it certainly seems like damn near everything she touches turns to gold even if those things are used as a weapon.

Days after Cardi B went viral for flinging a microphone at a fan who tried to splash her with a liquid substance at a Las Vegas performance, TMZ is reporting that the mic in question is actually going to be auctioned off to the highest bidder because, well, why not? While Cardi’s actions led to numerous comedic memes that have been floating around social media since the incident, no one’s really paid attention to the microphone used in retaliation. Don’t be surprised if it ends up bringing in some big bucks.
TMZ reports:

The mic Cardi hurled into the crowd at Drai’s Nightclub actually belongs to an audio production company called The Wave in Sin City, and the owner tells us he decided to auction it off to benefit a couple of charities. Scott Fisher tells TMZ … it was pretty easy to track down the mic after the show, because the white tape across the bottom of it says “MAIN,” and it still works despite Cardi chucking it into the crowd. Scott says his company provides audio support for most of the major nightclubs in Vegas, including Drai’s.
Cardi might wanna put a bid on that mic just so she can recover some evidence as the woman who caught her wrath has filed a battery report with Las Vegas authorities. Y’all already know she’ll be trying to extract as much paper from Cardi in the process.
The $1000 microphone is currently on eBay with a starting bid of $500, and according to Scott, the proceeds will go to both The Wounded Warrior Project and a local Vegas charity named Friendship Circle Las Vegas, which helps teens and young adults with special needs. Great way to use a viral moment to help some good causes.
Would you bid on the microphone that Cardi B turned into a weapon? Let us know in the comments section below.

Over the weekend video of Cardi B slinging a microphone at a fan who tried to douse her with water at a Vegas performance quickly went viral as an example of what not to do at a Cardi B show.

While we understood that Cardi was justified in her response to the overzealous fan, police are now investigating Cardi B for her transgression and it may end up costing her in the end. Variety is reporting that the woman who was on the receiving end of that microphone toss has filed a police report against Cardi B and is claiming to have been battered at the manicured hands of the Bronx rapper.
Variety reports:

The Las Vegas Metro Police Department confirmed a battery had been reported by a woman just one day after the altercation occurred in a statement obtained by Variety. No arrests or citations have been issued. 
“On July 30, 2023, an individual came into an LVMPD police station to report a battery,” the LVMPD stated. “According to the victim, she was attending an event on July 29, 2023, at a property located in the 3500 block of Las Vegas Boulevard. During a concert, she was struck by an item that was thrown from the stage.”
The “Bodak Yellow” rapper retaliated with the microphone throw after a concertgoer had launched a drink at her during her show. It remains unclear whether the person who threw the drink and the person who reported getting hit with the microphone are the same individual.
It really looked like Cardi missed the actual person who threw the drink, but we’re sure the police investigation into the matter will reveal if that is indeed the case.
The incident comes during a time when artists being pelted with foreign objects by concertgoers is all the rage. How or why this has become a trend is anyone’s guess, but best believe that if you try the wrong one (like Cardi), you’re going to end up paying for it. Unfortunately for Cardi, she might end up paying just to make this case go away, but that was expected as soon as this video went viral.
What do y’all think? Should Cardi be held accountable for her reaction or was she justified in her actions? Let us know in the comments section below.
