Cardi B is making it clear that she doesn’t have beef with Coach after seemingly dissing the brand in her “Like What (Freestyle).” To prove that there’s no bad blood, the Bronx rapper bought a new Coach bag on Tuesday (March 5).
“Come with me to buy a Coach bag,” Cardi captioned a TikTok video of her on the way to Coach while carrying a pink Burkin bag, which she gave a playful thumbs down before hopping in the car and heading to Coach.

After looking through a few options, Cardi settled on a yellow quilted Coach Tabby Shoulder Bag.
Coach Tabby Bag With Quilting
The Tabby Shoulder Bag is one of Coach’s best-rated bags, with 4.7 stars and hundreds of reviews on the brand’s website. From hardware to design, there’s something about the Tabby bag that keeps shoppers coming back.
Coach’s Tabby bag is a modernized version of a design from the 1970s. The bag is available in 20, 26 or 33 inches, and made from soft, napa leather with chain straps that you can adjust to wear it as a shoulder bag or handbag. The Tabby Shoulder Bag retails for $295 and up, and it’s available in several colors, including black, pink, brown and silver. The quilted Tabby comes in yellow, pink, black, white and lip print ($450).
Cardi had the internet in an uproar after taking a soft shot a Coach on “Like What.” (In the song’s chorus, she raps, “Like a Coach bag, baby, this ain’t what you want.”) She later explained that the lyric was inspired by a 2011 Cam’Ron track.
Coach came to Cardi’s defense amid the controversy. “We love Cardi,” the brand posted on X on March 2, to which Cardi replied “Love ya” with a heart emoji.

Camila Cabello sipped wine and spilled tea during her Wednesday (March 6) interview on Alex Cooper’s Call Her Daddy podcast — especially where Shawn Mendes was concerned.
Sitting down with a glass of red in hand, the 27-year-old singer was asked point-blank about her relationship with her “Señorita” duet partner, whom she dated for about two years before breaking up for the first time in November 2021. Flash forward to spring of 2023, when the couple seemingly rekindled their romance. But after packing on the PDA at Coachella and attending one of Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour shows together, the pair called it quits once again.
“It’s crazy because I’m kind of impulsive in that way,” Cabello told Cooper, reflecting on why she got back together with Mendes in the first place. “If I feel it, I say it. I would rather say it and see what happens and then wake up the next day and find out that it’s been heavily documented. I opted for that route. It is what it is. It was a fun time; it was a fun moment.”

“I will always care about him and love him. He’s such a good person,” she continued. “I’m lucky ’cause some people have exes who are awful, and he is not. He’s a really kind, good person.”
The “Havana” singer went on to share why she and Mendes broke up a second time. “It wasn’t even like a decision. I think you’re just kind of like, ‘Yeah this doesn’t really … it’s not a fit — it doesn’t feel right,’” she said. “Luckily, I was in a place in my life where … it took us both less time to be like, ‘This doesn’t feel right and we don’t really need to try so hard to make it work. It’s all good, let’s move on.’”
“The worst thing you can life with is a ‘What if?’” Cabello added.
The X-Factor alum, who recently teased her upcoming single on social media, also confirmed that she’s currently single. “I love it,” she told Cooper. “But also, I’ve been in relationships a lot since I started dating. It feels fun to just get to know people and talk and see what happens.”
But that doesn’t mean the heartbreaks she’s experienced in the past don’t still sting. “It feels very out of your control,” Cabello said, speaking generally about her past breakups. “Sometimes it’s like, ‘I wanted it to be this person so bad.’ But it’s not, and that feels really hard to let go. To be like, I really wanted this, but the fact that I can’t make this person who I wanted them to be … it’s really tough.”

A British advertising standards authority has partially reversed a controversial decision banning a Calvin Klein advertisement featuring singer/dancer FKA Twigs.

Adding to an arsenal of fashion partnerships such as Dior and Cartier, Jisoo is the new face of Self-Portrait, marking several firsts for the BLACKPINK superstar and the London-based fashion house.
Following previous Self-Portrait muses such as Naomi Campbell, Kate Moss, Gigi Hadid, Emily Ratajkowski, Irina Shayk, Bella Hadid, Kate Moss and Phoebe Dynevor, the news not only marks the brand’s first time having a musician front the accessible line since its 2013 founding, but also serves as Jisoo’s first contemporary fashion campaign following the February announcement of her own label and agency, Blissoo.
Billboard has a look at the Spring/Summer 2024 collection, including an exclusive photo of Jisoo in a blue dress from the campaign. Captured in South Korea by photographer Yoon JiYong (who shot the artwork for Jisoo’s ME solo album, her 2023 ELLE Korea cover, as well as lensed her bandmates Rosé, Lisa and other top K-pop stars), Self-Portrait founder and creative director Han Chong describes Jisoo’s campaign in a press release as showcasing “her beauty, both inside and out, to be front and center of this first series of portraits we shot together in Seoul.”

Chong notes that the collaboration is a natural step after first connecting with Jisoo around BLACKPINK’s debut in 2016.
“We first started dressing Jisoo over seven years ago, sparking a relationship that we hope will continue for many more years to come,” he tells Billboard. “Aside from the pieces she has worn on and off stage, my favorite moment has to be when we were together on set for this shoot — Jisoo gravitated towards her favorite pieces immediately, and so we let her choose what she wanted to wear for the campaign. It needed to feel real and authentic to where Jisoo is in her life right now, and for me, knowing that she felt like the best version of herself brought me such satisfaction and joy.”
Citing Jisoo’s “Flower” and BLACKPINK’s “Pink Venom” and “Shut Down” as favorites, Chong adds that the goal is “wanting to capture Jisoo in an honest and authentic way — it’s our take on modern portraiture. She is evolving into her next chapter as an independent artist, and there is something so empowering about that. I hoped to shine a light on Jisoo on this important moment in her life and career.”
Chong says Jisoo’s indie move — which includes a renewed contract for BLACKPINK under YG Entertainment — influenced the timing to officially team with Jisoo for the accessibly priced fashion line, which has been worn by musicians including Beyoncé, Alicia Keys, Rosalía, Olivia Rodrigo and BLACKPINK.
“When it comes to our campaign casting, I’m always inspired by women who inspire our audience and women who are truly themselves,” says the Penang, Malaysia–born creative. “It’s something which has become a constant thread running through our campaigns. We then look to tailor each campaign or creative to the face of that moment, making it a celebration of the personality which we hope shines through in the images. With Jisoo, I was really interested in where she is on her journey, stepping into solo projects and celebrating her transition into independence. The first set of images captured through a series of portraits bring to life her journey into womanhood.”
The items Jisoo showcases — including the pale-pink sequin minidress with black trim, the orange and pink rhinestone embellished minidress and the blue minidress with the very appropriate flower embellishments — are all available online, in Self-Portrait stores globally and through its international network of retailers as part of the new collection.

Turns out, Taylor Swift isn’t the only tortured poet in her family tree. According to a new genealogy study from the company Ancestry, the 34-year-old pop star is distantly related to American literary icon Emily Dickinson, whom Swift can now call “cousin.”
More precisely, the two women are sixth cousins, three times removed. Ancestry’s findings, which were announced Monday (March 4), show that both Swift and the poet — who was born in 1830 and passed away at 55 years old in 1886 — are descended from the same 17th century English immigrant. The early settler of Windsor, Conn., was the “Anti-Hero” singer’s ninth great-grandfather and Dickinson’s sixth great-grandfather.
The musician’s ancestors reportedly stayed in Connecticut for six generations before moving to northwestern Pennsylvania, where they married into the Swift lineage. Many years later, Scott and Andrea Swift welcomed their firstborn daughter on Dec. 13, 1989, in West Reading before eventually moving to Nashville — and the rest was history.

News of Swift’s connection to one of history’s most acclaimed poets comes at an uncanny time in the Grammy winner’s career, given that her next album is titled The Tortured Poets Department. The 16-track LP, along with its four exclusive bonus versions, arrives April 19.
Swift announced the final version of Tortured Poets at her March 3 Eras Tour show in Singapore, revealing that the fourth issue will be titled “The Black Dog.” It follows announcements for “The Manuscript,” “The Albatross” and “The Bolter,” each of which include one exclusive bonus track.
During the rollout cycle for her new record, Swift has been referring to herself as “The Chairman of the Tortured Poets Department.”
“And so I enter into evidence/ My tarnished coat of arms/ My muses, acquired like bruises/ My talismans and charms,” reads a handwritten note posted by Swift after she first announced the album. “All’s fair in love and poetry …”
Ancestry also shared that note in announcing the pop superstar’s connection to Dickinson in an Instagram post Monday.
