I’m scared, it feels like you don’t care
Enlighten me, my dear
Why am I still here? Oh
I don’t mean to be complacent with the decisions you made
But why? Oh

In the back of my mind you died
And I didn’t even cry
No, not a single tear

And I’m sick of waiting patiently
For someone that won’t even arrive
Woah

In the back of my mind I killed you
And I did not even regret it
I can’t believe I said it
But it’s true, I hate you

Cardi B Rings in 30th Birthday With Burlesque-Themed Party in LA

Cardi B rang in her 30th birthday on Tuesday night with a burlesque-themed party at Los Angeles’ Poppy Club.

The superstar arrived with her rapper husband, Offset, by her side. She shined bright like a diamond in a sexy red jeweled corset, feather headdress, garter and strappy red heels that stopped right at her ankle. She paired her getup with red bedazzled gloves, earrings and a matching necklace.

Offset matched his wife’s fiery look by sporting a red tie, glasses, an all-white suit and matching cream-color loafers.

Tiffany Haddish, Chloe and Halle Bailey, Jamie Foxx and Shenseea were among the stars who helped the “Up” rapper celebrate another year around the sun. Cardi’s “Tomorrow 2” collaborator GloRilla hit the stage with the birthday girl to rap along to their top 10 Billboard Hot 100 hit song.

Last week, Cardi B took to Twitter to reveal the party’s burlesque theme. “I wanna see sexiness,” she told her followers. “It’s gonna be a very sexy show. It’s gonna be amazing; it’s gonna be extravagant,” she added.

Last year, the Bronx native celebrated her 29th birthday with a dancehall theme. Her husband showered his wifey with an array of expensive gifts, including an Eliantte diamond Cuban link chain with a Playboy bunny logo on the centerpiece and smaller bunnies circling the rest of the necklace. The biggest gift, though, was Offset giving Cardi B a new home in the Dominican Republic.

Here Are the Lyrics to Lil Nas X’s ‘Star Walkin”

Lil Nas X released his new single “Star Walkin’,” a collaboration with Riot Games’ multiplayer online battle arena game League of Legends, last month. The song is set as the official anthem for the game’s 2022 World Championship.

Lil Nas X spoke to Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1 about the new song, how getting to emphasize a “drill” aesthetic felt “fun,” and about getting to give a subsection of his fanbase something they’ve been waiting for. “I’m not really much of a gamer anymore. I haven’t been since a teenager,” he said. “But for whatever reason, I have a huge gamer fan base, and this is sick for them. Go, them.”

If you need a guide to follow along with Lil Nas X’s “Star Walkin’,” find the lyrics below:

Don’t ever say it’s over if I’m breathin’
Racin’ to the moonlight and I’m speedin’
I’m headed to the stars, ready to go far
I’m star walkin’

Don’t ever say it’s over if I’m breathin’
Racin’ to the moonlight and I’m speedin’
I’m headed to the stars, ready to go far
I’m star walkin’

On the mission to get high up
I know that I’ma die reachin’ for a life that I don’t really need at all
Never listened to replies, learned a lesson from the wise
You should never take advice from a n—a that ain’t try
They said I wouldn’t make it out alive
They told me I would never see the rise
That’s why I gotta kill ’em every time (gotta watch’em bleed too)

Don’t ever say it’s over if I’m breathin’
Racin’ to the moonlight and I’m speedin’
I’m headed to the stars, ready to go far
I’m star walkin’

Don’t ever say it’s over if I’m breathin’
Racin’ to the moonlight and I’m speedin’
I’m headed to the stars, ready to go far
I’m star walkin’

Been that n—a since I came out my mama (woo)
Thankin’ God daddy never wore a condom (woo)
Prove ’em wrong every time ’til it’s normal
Why worship legends when you know that you can join ’em? (Join ’em)
These n—as don’t like me, they don’t like me
Likely, they wanna fight me
Come on, try it out, try me
They put me down, but I never cried out
Why me?
Word from the wise
Don’t put worth inside a n—a that ain’t try

They said I wouldn’t make it out alive
They told me I would never see the rise
That’s why I gotta kill ’em every time (gotta watch’em bleed too)

Don’t ever say it’s over if I’m breathin’
Racin’ to the moonlight and I’m speedin’
I’m headed to the stars, ready to go far
I’m star walkin’

Don’t ever say it’s over if I’m breathin’
Racin’ to the moonlight and I’m speedin’
I’m headed to the stars, ready to go far
I’m star walkin’
(Star walkin’)

Don’t ever say it’s over if I’m breathin’
Racin’ to the moonlight and I’m speedin’
I’m headed to the stars, ready to go far
I’m star walkin’

Nessa Barrett Talks ‘Tired of California,’ ‘Misconceptions’ About Social Media Stars & More

The singer, who got her start on TikTok, revealed that she got “tired of California” right after she moved to the sunny state. “Living in LA and California itself was a dream of mine since I was little. When I was 17, I ran away and moved across the country to be in LA, and it has given me so many opportunities and I love it so much,” she explained. “But, I feel like a lot of people in the industry can relate, we just feel trapped here.”

On her healing while writing such an emotionally charged album, she shared that she’s big on hypnotherapy and inner child work. “I feel like working with yourself and getting very deep and learning how to have compassion for the person that’s inside of you — because we forget that and neglect ourselves in a way — I feel like it’s very important.”

Barrett also shared her thoughts on those who have large social media platforms that are sometimes not taken seriously when trying to take the jump into full-blown musical artist, and then feel confined. “Everyone online isn’t fully the person that they are on social media. So when people start to branch out and do new things or follow a dream of theirs, it’s kind of confusing for people and it’s hard for them to accept,” she said. “Just because you have an audience and a big platform, it doesn’t mean you don’t grow and change like anyone else. That’s part of life.”

BTS Gets Ready to Fly in Aerial Yoga Class for Special ‘Run BTS’ Episode: Watch

It’s finally here, BTS ARMY — the Bangtan Boys first teased their special yoga-themed Run BTS episode on Oct. 4, which featured members Jin, Suga, J-Hope, RM, Jimin, V and Jung Kook giving the aerial silks a try.

Though the K-pop stars were totally game in the teaser to experience a brand new challenge, the septet later ended up quickly struggling with nailing down the moves. Now, ARMY has the chance to see the episode in full — and all the hilarious shenanigans that ensued — in a video uploaded to BTS’ official YouTube on Tuesday (Oct. 11).

After being introduced to their instructor, who greeting the K-pop group by instantly launching to a pose above ground on the aerial silks, BTS gave him a round of applause — but not without gushing over their instructor’s physique and talents. Jimin, impressed with the elegant display, said, “He made a fantastic appearance!” Suga then enquired, “Did you make that body with flying yoga?”

Jin and RM then had their own questions, with the singer asking, “He probably worked out, right?” and the rapper adding, “What if he pumps a lot of metal at home?” The instructor assured the guys that aerial yoga acts as a full body workout, which RM concluded, “Those are muscles that are made in action!”

The rest of the episode sees the BTS members doing a lengthy stretching session, some members more successful at hitting the exercises than others, before giving actual aerial silk moves a try. All of the members struggled with at least one of the moves, but closer to the end of their class, the members had more stability and confidence. Sadly, fans will have to wait for the next episode to see how BTS makes it through the rest of the class.

The next part of “Fly BTS Fly” will first air through Weverse and VLive, and will later be available on YouTube. Watch the newest installment of Run BTS below.

Lizzo Admits She Has a Secret Instagram Account During Hilarious Lie Detector Test: Watch

Lizzo sat down for Vanity Fair‘s Lie Detector Test on Tuesday, and the results were as amusing as you’d expect.

In contrast to the famous lyric in her breakout single “Truth Hurts,” the singer admitted she’s actually never taken a DNA test to determine if she’s really “100 percent that bi—,” as the song goes. (Though if she did, she’d be crossing her fingers to be related to Beyoncé despite her Detroit roots and Queen Bey hailing from Texas.)

However, when it comes to what it takes to actually be “100 percent that bi—,” Lizzo said, “I think it’s owning your identity and having autonomy of your body, and owning that. And of who you are and owning that. Having no shame in your motherf—ing game.”

Later in the interview, Lizzo hesitated to answer a question about whether she’s aiming for EGOT status now that she’s taken home her first Emmy for Lizzo’s Watch Out for the Big Grrrls (not to mention her three Grammys), saying, “See, you can’t spell EGOT without ‘ego,’ and I try to keep my ego out of my career and my purpose.”

Knowing she was hooked up to a polygraph machine, the “About Damn Time” singer was blatantly honest about how much time she spends on TikTok (“It’s a lot, it’s embarrassing”) and copped to having a secret Instagram account where she posts pictures with boyfriend Myke Wright, however she got caught in a lie about whether fans would be surprised with what’s on her TikTok “For You Page.”

In the section about her life, Lizzo revealed that she has, in fact, gotten apologies from former classmates who bullied her in high school for being a band geek. However, the apologies didn’t stop her from refusing to give the unnamed bullies free tickets to her show when they asked (“I feel like I should’ve said ‘yeah,’ but that would’ve been a lie”).
