Cardi B Camp Debunks Claim She’s Releasing Beauty Line

By: Justin Ivey Updated Category: News

Cardi B hasn’t launched her own line of beauty products despite reports suggesting she did.

A source close to Cardi B told TMZ the stories about her supposed beauty line were false. Several articles and social media posts claimed she teamed with a company known as Delight Cosmeceutical Labs to create the Kulture Wave beauty line.

Outlets may have been fooled by a seemingly fake press release. The press release included quotes credited to Cardi B.

The Atlantic Records rapper and her husband Offset partnered with McDonald’s for a celebrity promotion in February. The couple’s meal faced pushback from some McDonald’s franchisees, but the fast-food chain had no desire to drop the campaign.

“McDonald’s stands behind our partnership with Cardi B and Offset,” a rep told TODAY. “They have been incredible partners and we support them as a family.”

Last month, Cardi B participated in court-ordered community service for third-degree assault and second-degree reckless endangerment. She explained why she appreciated her punishment in a Twitter post.

“Community service has been the best thing that has happened to me,” she wrote. “Almost like a spiritual journey because sometimes I leave these centers in tears. Those people that we leave behind they just need somebody to talk and a lil push and YOU might be able to change their life forever.”

Cardi B fans are still waiting on her to drop a new album. She hasn’t released a project since 2018’s Invasion of Privacy.

North West Parody Of Ice Spice Has People Saying Kanye Was Right About TikTok

By: Justin Ivey Updated Category: News

Footage of North West imitating Ice Spice sparked a debate about Kanye West’s issues with TikTok.

North, who is 9 years old, appeared in a TikTok video featuring her lip-syncing Ice Spice’s “Boy’s a Liar Pt. 2” verse. A Twitter contingent felt North’s post justified Kanye’s past concerns regarding TikTok.

North recited Ice Spice’s line “bet he blowing her back” in the clip, which didn’t sit well with a number of Twitter users. Kanye’s daughter wore a wig to complete her impression of Ice Spice.

Kanye previously called out his ex-wife Kim Kardashian for allowing their daughter to create TikTok videos. He claimed North was on the social media platform against his will.

“I’m not allowing my daughter to be used by TikTok, to be used by Disney,” he said in 2022. “I have a say-so.”

Kardashian defended North’s TikTok activity in response to Kanye’s outrage. The reality TV star elaborated on how she handles North’s usage of social media in an interview with Gwyneth Paltrow.

“I have made a rule with their dad about it, you know, he’s not happy about that, I respect that,” Kardashian said. “It can only be on my own phone. It’s not something where she can scroll and look at things.”

Check out some of the people siding with Kanye over North’s Ice Spice imitation below.

What Happened To The KANYE WEST / Adidas “Deal”?

What happened to that enormous, ground-breaking deal where Kanye West gets back with Adidas to sell unsold Yeezy merchandise? 

Last week, a lot of outlets reported that Kanye and the sports merchandise giant made something happen on the business front. One week later, we have yet to see a real report materialize in support of what outlets said was true. On top of that, neither Adidas nor Kanye West has confirmed that they are now working together to sell old merchandise that was trapped in a warehouse. We are talking about billions in revenue.

I’m thinking people ran with it because they didn’t have anything better to do at that time and somebody decided to continue to run with it until it got to some of these rap blogs. Nevertheless, I think Adidas is willing to take the big hit and loss in revenue, and restructure deals around it to get it back. For example, there have been rumors that Jeezy is working with Adidas now. Again, I don’t believe there’s any factual report that says this is true. What I find to be interesting is that you have people on both sides of the coin, some of which I agree with working with Adidas and others that say we should not. Business is business, so I don’t even care.

However, if you feel strongly about it don’t support. I would not hang my hat on Kanye West for any reason though. I will say this “he’s very quiet now “and truth be told, that is a good thing. Hopefully he’s getting back to some basics like music and being creative maybe that girlfriend of his is a positive thing!

Melle Mel considered it blasphemous to rank Nicki Minaj above Rakim when listing the best rappers of all time.

The Hip-Hop pioneer continued to criticize Billboard’s rankings of the greatest rappers in an interview with the Art of Dialogue. After raising issues with Eminem’s spot on the list, Melle Mel frowned on the outlet placing Nicki Minaj at No. 10 with Rakim at No. 13.

“You know that’s some b#######,” Melle Mel stated. “Come on now … And I actually like Nicki Minaj, but you know that’s some b#######.”

The Furious Five member spoke highly of Rakim’s legacy as a rap innovator. Melle Mel gave Nicki Minaj credit but found it ridiculous to put her above Rakim.

“I’m coming from how the game changed and how the culture changed,” he explained. “I’m not coming from who I like rapping because I don’t like the way nobody rap … I don’t got nobody in my head like that except the Most High.”

He continued, “Nick Minaj being [above Rakim], that’s blasphemy. And I don’t got nothing wrong with Nicki. I actually like Nicki Minaj. She can write. Decent looking chick. But even if she was better than Rakim, you don’t put her over no g###### Rakim. What kind of s### is that?”

Marlon Wayans Speaks On Will Smith & Chris Rock Slap, Says Fresh Prince ‘Snapped’ Should Be Granted Forgiveness

By: Kershaw St. Jawnson Updated Category: News

As the Oscars approaches, there are a few comedy specials about the “slap” that was heard around the world. On Sunday, Mar. 27, 2022, Will Smith smacked Chris Rock in the face for making a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith.

The victim, Chris Rock, made history with his new special “Selective Outrage.” The offering is the first time Netflix had ever live-streamed anything. However, his was not the only comedy commentary on that incident to come out over the week.

Comedian and funny man Marlon Wayans has produced, licensed, and dropped a new special on HBO called “God Loves Me.”

The stand-up concert, filmed in Atlanta, GA, is a love letter to all three parties pointing at all the reasons he admires them, poking fun at each of them in their active or passive roles in the incident, and unequivocally blasting Smith for his actions. The difference is, Wayans approached it with forgiveness and love attached to his reprimand.

During a private filming of DJ Suss One’s “The Feature Presentation” podcast, the youngest of the first-generation Wayans Brothers said, he knows all three parties and believes Smith had a breakdown in front of the whole world.

“… being in these situations, excitement, anxiety all these things that we never seen… pain … childhood trauma … that man snapped. And unfortunately, Chris Rock cracked the wrong joke on the wrong day,” Wayans said, adding, “That was just the breaking point, but there was a lot boiling up.”

He revealed that he texted Smith the night of the Academy Awards. He said he was hurt because the incident impacted more than just the two.

“I actually left the parties because I don’t want to be phony,” he said.

“I was proud of him for winning that award, you know?” he told the Power 105 Dj, reminding him that he had just done Bel-Air with Smith.

“I said I’m proud of him,” Wayans shared, saying he text him, “I need you to go sit in seven hours of therapy on Monday because you got some real s##t going on.”

He said he also texted Rock and asked him if he was “good.”

Ultimately, Wayans said this is a time for forgiveness and not judgment, noting that one incident should not replace 30 plus years of Black excellence.

The former Howard University student also shared before he left the intimate discussion that he learned things from both men throughout his life.

From Rock, he learned” to be great at something, you have to do it a lot” and “to have your own style.” Wayans said he learned from the Fresh Prince to never “marginalize” yourself based on race, noting his example of being a “Black international superstar” that defied the odds, by even paying to promote himself overseas when studios did not see the value in the marketing.

Kodak Black’s Rolling Loud Appearance Begs The Question: Will He Make It Through Rehab?

By: AllHipHop Staff Updated Category: Rumors
Preferred Source Publisher Button>

Kodak Black performed at Rolling Loud Los Angeles over the weekend. But according to reports, he needed a helluva lot of supervision to ensure he stayed sober before his set. The Florida rapper, who’s on probation, recently tested positive for Fentanyl and was ordered to 30 days of in-patient rehab. But will he make it? According to sources, Kodak’s team kept a close on him. They even enlisted a physician to monitor his eating habits and another person who essentially had to babysit him.

https://www.instagram.com/p/Cogsf2usKr9/?hl=en

Anyone familiar with addiction knows it’s entirely up to the person whether they want to get sober or not. You can’t force anyone into sobriety. It has to be their own decision. So the fact he was only able to stay away from drugs because he had supervision isn’t a promising sign. Kodak has yet to speak on the matter, so it’s all speculation at this point.

Kodak Black was arrested last July with 31 oxycodone pills and nearly $75,000 in cash. He was charged with one count of trafficking oxycodone and one count of possession of a controlled substance, according to the Broward County Clerk’s Office. He pleaded not guilty and requested a jury trial.

Oxycodone is one of the most addictive pain killers out there. Therefore, they’re incredibly hard to kick. Kodak is presumably at a facility now where he’ll have to detox. Wishing the best for rap’s Super Gremlin—it’s not easy.

Snoop Dogg, Too $hort, Wiz Khalifa, Warren G, DJ Drama & Berner Are Going On Joint Tour

As if Snoop Dogg doesn’t have enough on his plate, the Death Row Records boss has just added a massive tour to his schedule. On Monday (March 6), Live Nation announced the High School Reunion Tour featuring Snoop Dogg, Too $hort, Wiz Khalifa, Warren G, Berner and DJ Drama.

The 33-date run will kick off on July 7 in Vancouver, British Columbia before heading to Washington state the following day. The tour will make additional stops in cities such as Denver, Toronto and Brooklyn before wrapping up in Irvine, California on August 27.

Snoop Dogg was the butt of one of Chris Rock’s jokes during his new Netflix special, Chris Rock: Selective Outrage. Rock asked, “When did Snoop Dogg become Morgan Freeman?” He went on to marvel at Snoop “selling everything,” including wine, beer, tampons and reverse mortgages. He ended the bit by assuring the audience he wasn’t dissing Snoop. After all, he said, he didn’t need “another rapper” mad at him, a reference to the Will Smith Oscars slap. Of course, it was all in good fun. His comments about Smith and Jada Pinkett, however, are a different story.

Tickets for the High School Reunion Tour will be available starting with artist and Citi pre-sales on Tuesday (March 7). They’ll go on sale to the general public on March 10 at 9 a.m. here.

GloRilla Concert Turns Into Death & Chaos In New York

Rising star GloRilla has made headlines after one person lost their life at her Sunday, Mar. 5 concert at the Main Street Armory in Rochester, NY.

Sadly, according to the Associated Press, someone falsely reported after the concert around 11:00 pm, someone in the crowd had a gun, prompting people to start to run in hysteria.

As a result, there was a crowd surge as people ran toward the exits. A stampede left one casualty and nine people hurt.

Originally, police found three of nine critically injured, and took them immediately to the hospital. One of the three, a 33-year-old woman, died in doctor’s care. The others remain in critical condition. The seven were treated but their injuries were not life-threatening.

During a news briefing about the incident, Police Chief David M. Smith said, “We do not have any evidence of gunshots being fired or of anyone being shot or stabbed at the scene.”

“What began last night as a night of live music and fun for the performer GloRilla ended in tragedy with one person dead and two more fighting for their lives,” the chief said. 

The police are still investigating the incident.

The concert featured GloRilla and Finess2tymes and was packed.

GloRilla has burst on the scene with her hit song “Tomorrow,” featuring Cardi B with the epic alley-oop on the verse. Since the Grammy awards mini-performance and a few weeks on the Billboard charts, her stock has been up and people have been itching to see her.

Still, the city’s mayor Malik Evans said nothing like this should have happened, despite how popular and packed the concert might have been.

“If you go to a concert you do not expect to be trampled,” he said. “Your loved ones expect you to be able to come home and talk about the experience that you had at that great concert.”

“We are going to hold people accountable for what happened last night, period,” Evans said.

Hip-Hop Forrest Gump and Will Smith’s longtime bodyguard/ friend Charlie Mack didn’t appreciate how Chris Rock lashed out at the actor’s wife during his live Netflix special, Chris Rock: Selective Outrage.

The comments came after Rock’s publicist Marvet Britto posted a glowing review about the performance.

“Life is not merely summarized by what is said or done to you….but how YOU choose to respond,” she wrote. “AN EPIC TOUR OF HEALING ENDING WITH AN EPIC PERFORMANCE!!!! So SUPA PROUD of my friend @chrisrock for working through his pain & cementing his legacy as the first live performance in Netflix history.”

Charlie Mack caught wind of the post and added his two cents in the comment section, challenging the veteran star maker.

He said, “Calling Jada a B, is calling everyone Black woman a B!!!! Jada has never spoken any words of disrespect on that Brotha!!!!! Never EVER, in fact, she done just the opposite!! Love on and celebrated him!!! And all of us for that matter!! And you stand in celebration of a Blackman viciously calling our Sista and B??”

He then wrote that his heart “bleeds” for Britto, noting he has always considered her a “Black Queen” and “Class Act” and that he has known Britto for more than 30 years.

Mack concluded, “Never thought I’d see this day,” before wishing her peace and “Brotherly Love.”

Before checking out, he added something for everyone to note, “Love is needed the most when deserved the LEAST!!!!! Our People are in bad shape!”

Angela Yee Responds To DJ Envy Calling Cap On Her Comments About “The Breakfast Club”

What appeared to be an amicable split between the original hosts of The Breakfast Club now seems to have some friction involved. Angela Yee and DJ Envy went back and forth in the media over the last several days.

The troublesome situation started after Anglea Yee appeared on The Tamron Hall Show. That interview on the daytime talk show included Yee reflecting on her decision to leave The Breakfast Club to host her own radio show on the same network.

In particular, Yee discussed the public sometimes wanting to hold her accountable for the actions of DJ Envy and fellow co-host Charlamagne Tha God. She also spoke about being the only on-air female personality on The Breakfast Club.

“Sometimes I would feel like I got it harder than [Charlamagne Tha God] did for some things that he said. And so I also want to make it clear that we’re all three individuals. You say what you say, feel how you feel, and I do too. But it’s hard because people affiliate you with the whole group,” Angela Yee told Tamron Hall.

Yee added, “I was the only woman who worked there too. I mean when it came to producers, camera people, and it wasn’t an easy room for me to be in. I feel like I did need more backup because even things that I felt, as a woman – if somebody can’t understand your point of view because they’re not coming from where you come from. So that was hard for me too, to be the only woman there.”

DJ Envy Says Angela Yee Misspoke, Yee Releases A Statement About Her Comments

Over the weekend, DJ Envy addressed what Angela Yee had to say about her time on The Breakfast Club. At first, Envy responded to The Shade Room‘s Instagram post about the topic by commenting, “🧢That’s not true… 🧢There are plenty of women that work behind the scenes on [The Breakfast Club].”

Later, DJ Envy suggested Angele Yee just “misspoke” and that she would “clean up” her remarks. He also pointed out that iHeartMedia Executive Vice President of Programming, Thea Mitchem, oversees the hiring for the company that broadcasts The Breakfast Club.

Angela Yee took to Twitter to share more of her thoughts on the matter. The Lip Service podcast presenter offered further explanations on what she had to say on Tamron Hall about the lack of women working at her former show.

Yee tweeted:

Usually, I don’t comment or go back and forth with people but there’s too much spinning. “In the room” referred to the people in the studio: the producer, board op, videographer, and hosts. Yes, they are men. That doesn’t mean that there aren’t amazing women who are execs, salespeople, interns, and in other departments. I’ve said this on many occasions: that it can be hard when your viewpoint is different based on your experience. I didn’t anticipate that this would cause such a firestorm. Everyone texting me “are you ok” (which I appreciate!) and I know I don’t normally take the time to overexplain because it drags things out even more but that’s all 🤷🏽‍♀️.

Blueface has become one of the most controversial figures in Hip Hop over the last year. While the Los Angeles native is now more well-known for his social media and reality show antics, he did score a hit record in 2018 with “Thotiana” featuring Cardi B.

“Thotiana” rose to No. 8 on the Billboard Hot 100, giving Blueface the highest-charting single of his career. The song has 350 million streams on Spotify. A music video for the remix with Cardi B amassed more than 250 million views on YouTube.

Over the weekend, Blueface took to Twitter to share his thoughts on how “Thotiana (Remix)” came together. According to the Cash Money Records affiliate, Cardi B played a huge role in changing his viewpoint on creating collaborations with other artists.

Blueface Says He’s Only Doing Business One Way In 2023

“When I got that Cardi feature, I never spoke with her prior to the studio session or recording of the music video,” explained Blueface. “Everything was done from management to management to ensure professional business. No money was exchanged for anything because it made [sense] for everyone, no leverage.”

The Famous Cryp mixtape creator also tweeted, “That feature changed my life fasho, that’s the only way we doing business in 2023.” 2018’s Famous Cryp hosts the Cardi B-assisted “Thotiana” remix as well as the “Respect My Cryppin'” single.

YG, Snoop Dogg, Offset & More Rap Stars Also Collaborated With Blueface

Fellow West Coast rapper YG appeared on another version of “Thotiana” that collected over 78 million YouTube views. The Recording Industry Association of America certified “Thotiana” as Platinum in 2019.

South Korean singer/rapper J-Hope of BTS teamed up with Dreamville Records co-founder J. Cole for the “On the Street” single. 

The K-Pop artist and the Hip Hop artist’s song arrived on March 3. The track’s official music video amassed over 14 million views on YouTube in three days.

While BTS fans seem excited about J-Hope linking up with J. Cole, Joe Budden slammed the collaboration. The retired rapper criticized Cole for working with the Jack in the Box album creator.

Joe Budden Explains His Issue With The J-Hope/J. Cole Collab

“J. Cole’s pandering,” said Joe Budden on the “Sign Language” episode of his bi-weekly podcast. Budden added, “This is why people pander, by the way, because it works. ‘Let’s land the K-Pop star/J. Cole merger.’”

As some of The Joe Budden Podcast co-hosts expressed a different opinion about the “On the Street” track, Budden stared into the camera. The New Jersey native then held up a whiteboard with the word “COONS” written on it.

“My point ain’t about whether I like it creatively or not. My point is just recognizing what it is,” stated Budden after walking around the room with the whiteboard.

Both BTS & J. Cole Found Success On The American Charts

Yung Miami Declares She’s “Not Sharing” Her Man In Next Relationship

Yung Miami appears to be tired of having to share her man with other women. 

The City Girl, who has been seeing Diddy for over a year although the pair maintain they’re still single, took to social media on Sunday to issue a declaration about her next relationship. 

After debuting a new single at Rolling Loud on Saturday evening (Mar. 4) with fellow City girl JT, Yung Miami was in need of some TLC.  

“It’s been a long week I just want my man 😓,” she tweeted on Sunday. However, while she did not say what got between her and her man, she returned with a follow–up tweet a short time later.  

“I’m not sharing my next n####!” Yung Miami stated although she failed to say what prompted the tweet.  

Elsewhere, this weekend, the Caresha Please host revealed she has no plans to ever tie the knot.  

“I don’t want to get married cos I feel like men are not faithful,” Yung Miami said during a recent Instagram Live session. “I take everything personal, I will never forget. If my husband cheats on me, Imma kill him.” 

Diddy Says “Yung Miami Is Not My Side Chick”

Last year, Diddy defended Yung Miami after fans dragged her online. She was called a “side chick” after the Hip-Hop mogul announced the birth of his daughter, Love Sean Combs. 

“@yungmiami305 is not my side chick,” Diddy tweeted last December. “Never has been, never will be. She’s very important and special to me, and I don’t play about my Shawty Wop. I don’t discuss things on the internet and I will not start today.    

“So think what you want,” he continued. “But know that if you do something to hurt mine, I’m gonna to come to your house and we’re gonna talk about it like human beings. LOVE.”  

Yung Miami also insisted she and Diddy have a mutually beneficial relationship.   

“People think that I’m like a side chick and he just do whatever he want and I’m just head over heels. No it go both ways,” she said. “Ain’t nothing one sided over here.”  

She also revealed that she knew about the baby before she was born in October.

Rihanna recently unveiled her second pregnancy during her performance at the Super Bowl. The fiercely protective parents are yet to reveal their son’s name, although they did open up about parenthood during their recent British Vogue cover shoot. 

Rihanna revealed they were forced into sharing images of their baby for the first time after being caught by paparazzi during the magazine’s beach photo shoot.  

“I just went straight into protective mode,” Rhianna recalled. “Like there wasn’t even time for rage. [Rocky and I] drove up to the trailer area and we sat in the car chatting and working out how we move forward. As parents it just feels so icky, like a violation. … As we were speaking, we knew they were making calls and deals.” 

The couple scrambled to share a video of their son on TikTok to beat the paparazzi to it.  

“Throw me to the wolves,” she said. “Do what you want with me. But he doesn’t have a say in any of this. We’ve been protecting him thus far and you don’t have any consent to be posting photos or selling photos of my child, a minor. Get the hell out of here with that.”

Chaka Khan has apologized after sharing some less-than-kind remarks about the singing abilities of Mariah Carey and Adele.  

The legendary singer claimed she didn’t mean to cause offense and said she was baited into making the remarks. Chaka Khan made the comments after being asked for her reaction to being ranked number 29 on Rolling Stone’s list of The 200 Greatest Singers of All Time earlier this year. 

However, in a lengthy Instagram post, the iconic songstress expressed her regret and announced plans for a foundation to empower other artists.  

“Recently, I was asked about a list of the ‘greatest singers of all time’ and instead of questioning the need for such a list, I was pitted against other artists and I took the bait,” Chaka Khan began. “As artists, we are unfairly put into ‘boxes’, ‘categories’ or on ‘lists.’ Being an artist or musician is not a competition. It’s a gift, for which I am truly grateful.” 

She then went on to state: “It was not my intention to cause pain or upset anyone.,” before offering her sincere apologies “to anyone that felt this way.” 

Chaka Khan continued, “Thank you for all the love everyone has shown me, unconditionally. I have always been about empowering others and I started a foundation for that very purpose. I will be announcing soon.” 

The “Ain’t Nobody” hitmaker rounded out her post with a message of love. “Empowering all artists is most important because we truly are the architects of change…and change begins within the heart.  I love you all and God bless – Chaka,” she concluded.  Check out her post below and listen to her comments at the end of the page.

GloRilla has responded with shock to reports of chaos following her concert in Rochester, New York, on Sunday night.  

Shortly before midnight on Sunday (Mar. 5), concertgoers flocked to social media with reports of several people needing hospital treatment following the show at Main Street Armory.  

“Major emergency response at the Main St. Armory after a concert,” one reporter stated. “Had witnesses telling me at least three women were trampled as concertgoers left the venue. I also saw a firefighter performing cpr presumably on a victim on scene.”  

Multiple people reported fans were trampled in a stampede at the event, while others reported hearing shots fired. One user claimed the police scanner reported 3 “unconscious” individuals were rushed to hospital after being trampled. They also claimed the fire department called the situation “A mass casualty event.”

Elsewhere another report suggested “Possibly up to 5 not breathing,” and a possible overdose, with emergency services being drafted in from other areas to assist. A possible stabbing victim was also said to be transported to Rochester General Hospital.  

“I’m so emotional leaving this concert,” said one Twitter user following the GloRilla concert. “Ppl were literally getting trampled, ppl screaming that they can’t breath. like I literally can’t believe my experience.” 

The CMG artist reacted to the reports on Twitter, claiming she was unaware of the events that unfolded.  

“I’m just now hearing about what happened wtf 😢😢😢,” GloRilla tweeted. “Praying everybody is ok. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼”
