CARDI B FILES FOR DIVORCE FROM OFFSET AGAIN AFTER NEARLY 7 YEARS OF MARRIAGE

Posted on by Kimeka Foster

Cardi B has once again filed for divorce from Offset. The news comes after seven years of marriage between the two hip-hop titans.

The “WAP” artist reportedly filed on Wednesday, requesting primary custody of their 5-year-old daughter Kulture and 2-year-old son Wave.

The news marks the second time Cardi has called for a divorce from Offset since they tied the knot in 2017.

Cardi previously filed to legally end their marriage in September 2020, explaining to fans at the time that it wasn’t “because of cheating” — although their relationship has been wrought with infidelity rumors on the Migos rapper’s end, since nearly the beginning.

Within a month, however, Cardi revealed that she and the “Stir Fry” rapper had sorted things out, and the case was dismissed in the early days of November 2020.

US PROPOSAL WOULD BAN AIRLINES FROM CHARGING PARENTS MORE TO SIT WITH THEIR CHILDREN

The U.S. Department of Transportation is proposing a new rule, that would ban airlines from charging parents more to sit with their young children.

Under the proposal, released Thursday, U.S. and foreign carriers would be required to seat children 13 or younger, next to their parent or accompanying adult for free.

If adjacent seats aren’t available when a parent books a flight, airlines would be required to let families choose between a full refund, or waiting to see if a seat opens up.

If seats don’t become available before other passengers begin boarding, airlines must give families the option to rebook for free on the next flight with available adjacent seating.

The Biden administration estimates the rule could save a family of four as much as $200 in seat fees for a round trip.

Posted on by Cole Chrystal

Dancehall diva Spice has clapped back at Mr. Vegas for his remarks earlier this week, stating that Spice and Vybz Kartel “destroyed the fabric of dancehall.”

The “Bruk It Down” singer also criticised Spice’s performance at the Unruly Fest in the UK, where she invited a man on stage to dance to a few of her raunchy songs.

This morning (July 31) and last night, the “Queen of the Dancehall” took to her Instagram to address Mr. Vegas.

In a carousel of videos and pictures, Spice showcased a video of the “Heads High” artiste’s interview from a few years ago, which seems to counter his current stance on the matter.

Eminem vs Slim Shady

Posted on by Cole Chrystal

American rapper Eminem has been having a personal beef with… himself?

In a new video, thanks to the help of AI, Em sits down with his alter ego, Slim Shady, to go head-to-head.

The video, which is a part of Complex magazine’s cover story, features a somewhat calm, brunette Eminem debating with a clean-shaven, bleached blonde Shady about Eminem’s style of music, the late Christopher Reeve, Caitlyn Jenner, and MGK.

In the hilarious back-and-forth, Eminem tries to distinguish between Slim Shady, introduced in the 1990s, and Eminem, who does not find humour in tragedy and is more “humanistic.”

Slim Shady states that ever since Eminem retired him, his music has become lame and that people want to be entertained.

Eminem retaliates, stating that Slim Shady makes people angry, saying, “Every other week on TikTok, Gen Z discovers you [Slim Shady] on Monday and cancels me on Tuesday.”

The video is a part of the roll out for the release of Eminem’s latest album “The Death of Slim Shady” and was done in collaboration with A.I. firm Metaphysics.

The Death of Slim Shady has topped the Billboard 200 Charts with the biggest sales week of 2024 in Hip Hop.
