Cardi B has an X-rated approach to getting to her ideal weight, which she does with finesse.

The WAP rapper disclosed that an essential component of her methodical strategy for regaining the weight she lost following a week-long stomach problem is engaging in sexual activity.

What’s the secret to Cardi B’s weight gain?

Cardi stated that she would want to weigh around 137 pounds, but she is now 130 pounds. She continued by enumerating some ways that being underweight causes her insecurities. The Grammy winner said, “I don’t think trousers look good on me or skirts or small little dresses. I don’t like being too skinny.”

 

Cardi stated, “I need to eat, and I need that d–k,” on an Instagram Live on April 17. “You know, d–k makes it easier for you to acquire weight. Do you understand that it’s simply a science? It’s the science of f–king.” Cardi also disclosed the other guideline she intends to follow: staying inside the house while she watches for results. 

“I don’t like the way my body looks, so until I gain my weight back, I’m not going out,” she said because she thought she looked too thin. Cardi, who is married to her estranged spouse Offset, but has a daughter, Kulture Kiari Cephus, 5, and a boy, Wave Set Cephus, 2, has previously opened up about her sexual life. While they haven’t formally reconciled, she has previously acknowledged that the 32-year-old Migos rapper physically got together during a New Year’s Eve celebration this past year.

Cardi said during a January 1 live stream on X (previously known as Twitter), “The answer to getting back together is not a good night at the club and f–king the night long. We have some s–t to work on. Our communication needs to be improved. He has certain things to work on, and I have some things to work on.”

She said at the time that this is the reason why she is saying that they are not getting together until they work out their issues, pointing out that the couple, who broke up in December, are currently at the stage of their relationship where they’re testing the space. The fashionista has indicated she is still working, so it appears to be a temporary setback.

Is Cardi B releasing a new album?

It seems Cardi is already back in the studio, which means more songs because the video that HIpHopDX posted above was taken while she was working in the studio with Bodak Yellow writer Pardison Fontaine. On March 7, Cardi released her most recent untitled song via a TikTok video that featured her laying down the verses in the studio. The album’s release followed her Instagram Stories statement that it will be her sophomore album this year.

Despite the fact that Cardi B and Pardison Fontaine have been friends for a long time, it appears that trolls are finding it difficult to watch them work together. The two produced several successful songs, such as WAP, Bodack Yellow, and Money. However, a recent Instagram Live video posted by Live Bitez of the two smiling and joking had many people making offensive remarks.

Apart from this harshness, though, Pardison frequently gave Cardi B credit for the literary assistance he provided. “Cardi is a genius on so many levels, end of story. This is what I always say. Whatever she had chosen to do, she would have been a celebrity,” he said on 360 With Speedy. “She would have been a star,” he continued. “She is exactly that. A lot of the enthusiasm you see on the internet was truly pioneered by her.”

She’s renowned for sharing her romantic difficulties – and settling scores – through her songs.

And Taylor Swift‘s latest hit has once again revealed the pain of her relationship break-ups – with a little help from US actors Ethan Hawke and Josh Charles.

The video to Ms Swift’s song Fortnight, the lead single on her new album The Tortured Poets Department, whipped her millions of fans into a frenzy when it was posted on YouTube early on Friday.

It is the 34-year-old’s first album since the break-up of her six-year relationship with British actor Joe Alwyn, and he is the suspected target of much of her ire in songs such as So Long, London.

Even the title of the album – her first since 2022’s Midnights – is a mocking take on a WhatsApp group that Alwyn shares with actors Paul Mescal and Andrew Scott called Tortured Man Club.

Matty Healy, ‘bad boy’ frontman with The 1975, with whom Ms Swift had a short fling, also doesn’t escape – Swifties (the nickname of the singer’s most devoted fans) believe he is the inspiration behind the track The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived.

Will you join the singer’s 14-day video challenge? To mark the Fortnight video’s release, the singer also shared on YouTube Shorts 14 short video clips of her life during the past two weeks, including one of her enjoying a cocktail (pictured)

A billionaire singing star needs to relax – and what better way than by blowing smoke from a fancy cocktail?

The singer said the album was an anthology of new works reflecting ‘events, opinions and sentiments from a fleeting and fatalistic moment in time – one that was both sensational and sorrowful in equal measure’. She went on to say that period in her life was over, adding: ‘The chapter closed and boarded up. There is nothing to avenge, no scores to settle once wounds have healed. Once we have spoken our saddest story, we can be free of it.’

Her skill across her work is to keep fans guessing about hidden messages – and so it was with the release of the Fortnight video, in which she duets with US rapper Post Malone.

The video hints that Ms Swift has found love so difficult that it had sent her crazy. She appears to be in an asylum and is seen lying on a bed with no mattress while chained to the railing.

To mark the Fortnight video’s release, the singer also shared on YouTube Shorts 14 short video clips of her life during the past two weeks, including one of her enjoying a cocktail and another of her at the gym. She challenged fans to follow her lead by copying her #ForAFortnight challenge.

LeBron James and his wife, Savannah James, showed out for the Los Angeles premiere of his upcoming film “Shooting Stars” on Wednesday wearing outfits that were contrasting in hue.

 

LeBron James wore a white crewneck T-shirt underneath his double-breasted cream suit. He accessorized his suit with white sneakers, sunglasses, and a basketball lapel pendant.

 

 

Savannah, his spouse, wore an Oscar de la Renta ensemble in black, from the helmet to the toes, which contrasted with his cream-colored suit. Matching pants and a black jacket with flower embroidery on the lace completed the look, along with black Gianvitto Rossi slingback pumps.

 

 

 

To create her look for the premiere, Savannah worked with stylist Casey “Icon” Billingsley, who also styles Jhene Aiko, Amber Riley, and Coco Jones.

 

 

 

Billingsley and Savannah have been working together since 2021. She created the stunning white mermaid dress that Sergio Hudson designed for this year’s Vanity Fair Oscars.

 

Billingsley and Savannah have worked together on a variety of looks, such as Savannah’s iconic Schiaparelli pinstripe suit moment on February 7 during LeBron James’s NBA record-breaking game where he broke all previous scoring records.

 

 

The socialite dissipated earlier this year at Milan Fashion Week while wearing an all-black lacy catsuit.

 

LeBron James’s latest movie, “Shooting Stars,” draws inspiration from the book he and Buzz Bissinger co-wrote. The movie tells the story of the high school friendships that helped LeBron James stay together while he was a student at St. Vincent-St. Mary High School, the school where he would go on to become a basketball legend. On Friday, Peacock will start showing the movie. Khalil Everage plays Marquis Sian Cotton. Caleb McLaughlin plays Little Dru, Wood Harris plays Dru Joyce, and Mookie Cook plays a young LeBron James.

Amid the explosive increase in global interest and demand for Korean cuisine, Jimin’s contribution to the spread of K-food alongside Hallyu has been extensively analyzed. This time, famous American rapper Cardi B joined the “Buldak Challenge”, which enjoyed worldwide promotional effects thanks to Jimin’s influence.

Previously, Cardi B named Jimin as her favorite among BTS members. Her participation in the “Buldak Challenge” further fueled discussions among fans, highlighting Jimin’s influence on K-food.

Fueled by the enduring popularity of the “Buldak Challenge”, Samyang’s Buldak Ramen, which has established itself as a representative K-ramen overseas, continues to soar in popularity. The manufacturer Samyang Foods, with sales of 141.9 billion won in 2016, surpassed 800 billion won in overseas sales last year, achieving a total revenue of 1 trillion won. This remarkable growth was evidenced by a 70% increase in its stock price while the KOSPI rose by 19% last year.

Major domestic and international media outlets have consistently evaluated that “thanks to Jimin, K-ramen has entered its second heyday“. Kim Jung-soo, Vice Chairman of Samyang Foods, expressed her gratitude through a broadcast program, saying, “Thanks to Jimin for enjoying Buldak Ramen, we are enjoying a significant advertising effect.“

Furthermore, a representative of Samyang Foods, which participated as the main sponsor of BTS’s concerts in the United States, attributed Jimin as a key factor in the popularity of Buldak Ramen in the United States, stating “Thanks to Jimin, we built a new factory in Miryang“, demonstrating Jimin’s tremendous influence.

Jimin, the first and only Korean soloist to top both the Billboard Hot 100 and Artist 100 charts simultaneously, has not only reached the pinnacle of the music world but also become a global icon, with everything he eats and drinks, including tteokbokki, dumplings, coffee and Citrus Tea, becoming a global issue and being mentioned in economic magazines like Bloomberg.

Taylor Swift has responded to some of the positive reviews on her latest album, The Tortured Poets Department.

The Karma hitmaker, 34, took to her Instagram Stories on Sunday and reposted a number of reviews on her latest body of work, captioning each one with her own lyrics.

She shared a glowing review from Rolling Stone which summed up Swift on the album as ‘confused, bitter, raging, vulnerable, yet more gloriously chaotic than we’ve ever heard her before.’

The singer wrote on the post, ‘And that’s the closest I’ve come to my heart exploding.’ The line comes from track two, which bears the same name as the album, and Swift added two white heart emojis to it.

It comes after one magazine excluded a critic’s byline on a less-than-favorable review of the hitmaker’s new album over fears of harassment from Swift’s loyal fans.

The superstar also shared a five-star review from The Times, adding ‘These Chemicals hit me like white whine’ from her song The Alchemy.

Another positive review came from The Independent, with critic Helen Brown writing, ‘The whole album is a terrific reminder of the intense, personal connection Swift can conjure in song.’

‘She fills arenas and dominates the news agenda because listeners can relate to her starry dramas – her tales endow their own experiences with new electricity.’

Taylor re-posted it to her Stories adding the line, ‘Everyone we know understands why it’s meant to be’ — another one of her lyrics.

She also shared a five-star review from iNews, which called her new album a ‘unique record – and one of the star’s most emotionally poised.’

Swift added the lyrics, ‘I feel like laughing in the middle of practice’ to the review, from her love anthem to boyfriend Travis Kelce, 34, titled High School.

Meanwhile earlier in the day Paste Magazine cited safety reasons as the need for their review to be anonymous.

Writing on X (formerly known as Twitter) in an editor’s note, the publication stated, ‘There is no byline on this review due to how, in 2019 when Paste reviewed Lover, the writer was sent threats of violence from readers who disagree with the work.’

They ended the statement with, ‘We care more about the safety of our staff than a name attached to an article.’

Although the negative review was not likely to dissuade any of the millions of people who have already listened to the album since it dropped early Friday morning, it does offer up a hefty dose of criticism and accuses the Grammy winner of being unable to not ‘infantilize the very people who buy into her music and drive her successes upwards in the first place.’

The review also asserts that TTPD’s ‘title track features some of Swift’s worst lyricism to date.’

The writer had praise for But Daddy I Love Him, saying it ‘really lends its hand to the knack for awe-striking, stand-still melodies that Swift has long shown she has a finesse for.’

Much of the article seemed to take issue with whether Swift could be tortured while living a billionaire’s lifestyle.

‘If Swift can return to one of her dozen beach houses across the world, kick up her feet and say “I’m a poet of struggle,” then who is to say that millions — maybe billions — of people with access to a notes app and a social media account won’t dream that dream, too?’ they asked.

Fans were furious that the writer would not stand behind their words.

‘Where is the alleged “review” of the actual album? This is just pure ragebait vomit lol,’ wrote one angry fans.

‘The opening line about Sylvia Plath taking her life isn’t quirky and is extra tasteless when you add the moral digs at Taylor’s jet usage considering the writer clearly does not care to be empathetic unless it’s time to tear down Taylor in a “music review.”‘ penned another.

‘We want real journalist back not this gossip article,’ declared a fan.

At least one reader seemed to appreciate the controversial column.

‘Amazing article, paste magazine!!! So glad true journalists are telling the truth and not being afraid of denouncing the devil,’ the wrote.

Angry fans left their own review of the review

At least one reader appreciated the anonymous author’s take on the new LP

The Tortured Poets Department was an immediate hit with consumrs. It sold some 1.4 million copies on Friday and was as streamed on Spotify more than 300 million times in a single day. The single, Fortnight, featuring Post Malone also broke records

Despite scoring somewhat less-positive reviews than her last three albums, according to Metacritic, The Tortured Poets Department was an immediate hit with consumers.

It sold around 1.4 million copies on Friday and surpassed the record set by 1989 (Taylor’s version) to become her biggest US album to date.

The LP was streamed on Spotify more than 300 million times in a single day.

It became the first album to cross the 200 million and 300 million stream mark, according to the platform.

Fortnight, the first single featuring Post Malone, also broke records for the most streamed song in a single day.

Swift wrote ‘All’s Fair in Love and Poetry,’ but topping the charts while hanging out at one of her beach houses may be the best revenge after a bad review.

Nicki Minaj has kept herself busy as of late, making her way across North America on her eagerly anticipated Pink Friday 2 world tour. So far, her performances have been nothing short of impressive, with the femcee delivering hit after hit. She’s also been joined by several celebrity guests like 50 Cent, Tyga, JT, and many more.

While the Queen of Rap is surely having a blast celebrating her new album with fans, that doesn’t mean the tour has been totally free of annoyances. During a recent show, for example, someone threw an object at her during “Starships.” In a clip from the shocking moment, it nearly hits her in the head. Luckily, it just missed her, though it did leave her visibly irritated.

Nicki Minaj Has Had Enough Of Thrown Objects

Looking outraged, Nicki picked the item up off the ground, promptly hurling it back into the crowd. It’s unclear what exactly the object was, but fortunately, it looked pretty small. It’s also unconfirmed whether or not anybody was hit after the “FTCU” rapper threw it. Either way, most fans can agree that she was justified, particularly considering reports of other artists being injured in similar situations. After all, she still has all of Europe, the UK, and Australia to get to.

The clip has, however, caused viewers to look back on another instance of a femcee throwing something into the crowd. This, of course, is Cardi B‘s infamous viral mic throw of last year. For those who don’t recall, someone splashed the “Enough” rapper with a drink onstage, prompting her to launch a microphone at them. “This is giving cardi b,” one commenter writes. “She wants to be Cardi B so bad,” another claims. What do you think of Nicki Minaj hurling an object thrown at her onstage back into the crowd? What about social media users comparing the incident to Cardi B’s mic throw?

“Waitttt this outfit”

“One thing about Cardi is she always on point with fashion,” reads one comment beneath Cardi B’s latest Instagram post. We couldn’t agree more. Scroll down the artist’s feed and her unapologetically bold style is easy to see, even in her off-duty ‘fits.

Yep, whether she’s wowing on the front row in three sequinned gowns in 24 hours during Paris Fashion Week or coordinating with Shakira in a breastplate for the duo’s music video, Cardi never fails to deliver a style slay. And her most recent look that earned the aforementioned comment is no exception.

We’ve heard of clashing patterns, but what about clashing aesthetics? Posing in her spacious hallway (that rivals some of the most luxurious hotels we’ve ever seen with the XL floral arrangement decorating her console table), Cardi paired an anime crop top with a checked pleated mini skirt for a preppy grunge look.

Knee-high white socks with black bows and platform Mary Jane heels completed the look. Cardi added a further bow in the form of a white ribbon tied in her hair that was pulled into a high ponytail with an XL bouffant. Blair Waldorf could never.

Perhaps the most impressive part of Cardi’s attire was the fact she’d managed to perfectly coordinate her ensemble’s colour palette to that of her leg tattoo, which peeked out beneath the skirt’s micro hemline.

Cardi shared a look at the peacock tattoo that spans her hip in 2020, after the inking was updated ten years on from originally having it done.

Cardi’s tattoos are almost as iconic as she is, so we love that she made them a part of her outfit.

With a 114-106 victory on Thursday night, the Denver Nuggets ended the Los Angeles Lakers’ three-game winning run. Jamal Murray scored 29 points, Michael Porter Jr. added 27, and both players combined for 27 points.

 

 

The reigning NBA champion Nuggets started a three-game road trip with their third straight victory and eighth in their last ten games behind the play of Nikola Jokic, who finished with 24 points, 13 rebounds, and nine assists.

 

In the same arena where the Nuggets defeated Los Angeles twice to win the Western Conference finals in May of last year, Denver lost a 15-point lead in the second half but never trailed and ultimately concluded with a 10-2 run.

 

Denver coach Michael Malone remarked, “Give them credit, they had all the momentum and they were attacking us.” “I observed composure while playing offence and carrying it out.” You must be rebounding and defending well if you outscore that side 10-2 in the final few minutes.

 

The Lakers erected a 19-foot-tall bronze monument of Kobe Bryant outside their downtown arena three hours prior to the game. In their alternate Black Mamba uniforms, the Lakers took on Denver, and the evening was packed with Bryant honours. In the closing minutes, the audience started screaming, “Kobe! Kobe!” to support the present Lakers.

 

The Lakers’ longest winning run since the In-Season Tournament came to an end in their first game following an optimistic six-game road trip, led by 25 points from LeBron James and 32 points from Anthony Davis. Austin Reaves finished with 15 points and 10 assists, while James contributed nine rebounds and seven assists.

 

Jaxson Hayes, who led the Lakers with nine points and six rebounds, described the situation as “absolutely very frustrating.” It is always frustrating to lose so close, especially when you gave it your all in the last moments. .. We are all aware of the season and the necessity to focus on securing additional victories. I believe that everyone is acting with a sense of urgency.

 

The Lakers were severely short-staffed in terms of guards a few hours after they had declined to make any transactions at the trade deadline. Max Christie started in D’Angelo Russell’s place and scored seven points before spraining his right ankle just before halftime due to pain in his left knee.

 

“This is the team we have, and we can kind of get back into our groove once we get guys healthy,” Davis remarked.

 

Midway in the third quarter, Denver had a 15-point lead. However, Los Angeles pulled even with 6:41 remaining on an alley-oop dunk by Skylar Mays for Davis.

 

After Hayes’ incredible chase-down block of Peyton Watson, Los Angeles tied the game again on a 3-pointer by Reaves with 2:18 remaining. However, the Nuggets responded with two 3-pointers by Murray and an 11-foot floater, and Porter sealed the victory with a 3-pointer with 1:05 remaining.

 

Despite the fact that neither of these teams made any significant trade deadline acquisitions, the Nuggets have greater cause for optimism with their championship-winning core than the inconsistent Lakers.

 

The Lakers decided against moving Russell’s tradeable deal at the deadline primarily due to his improved play in recent weeks. However, the starting point guard’s ailing left knee required an unknown treatment on Wednesday, which prevented him from playing.

 

According to Lakers general manager Rob Pelinka, he chose to remain in place rather than take a chance on upsetting the dynamic and potential of his team by signing a trade. Pelinka stated that, in order to acquire a third superstar, he will have three first-round picks available to him this summer as opposed to just one this month.

 

Pelinka stated, “My responsibility is to constantly search for methods to improve our roster, but you can’t buy a house that isn’t for sale.” It’s sometimes a careful and difficult calculus, and the proper move wasn’t there. Instead of aiming for a tiny target that would only yield a negligible increase today, we wanted to potentially create a far larger and more significant movement in June and July.

 

“The market is the market, despite our best efforts. There were incredibly few vendors.

 

Due to discomfort in his right hamstring, former Lakers swingman Kentavious Caldwell-Pope missed the Nuggets game. In his place, Justin Holiday had a difficult evening. He started the game with two points in 22 minutes and fouled out early in the fourth quarter.
