Cardi B Claps Back At Plastic Surgery Rumors After Welcoming Third Child: ‘Y’all Need to Relax!’

Cardi B is no stranger to online drama, but one thing she won’t stand for is body-shaming—especially after giving birth to her third child just one month ago. The Bronx rapper, known for her unapologetic attitude, took to social media to shut down rumors and insults aimed at her post-baby body.

After posting an update on her weight loss journey, Cardi shared with her followers that while she’s shedding pounds everywhere, her face still holds onto some extra weight.

In typical internet fashion, some users couldn’t resist taking this as an opportunity to criticize her figure, with one particular fan tweeting, “The fact Cardi B really did that to her body is pissing me off! Like y’all gotta start loving yourself, ladies! No way she should’ve f**ked her s**t up like that and she really thinks that s**t looks good too. Smh, it don’t Cardi, you still bae a lil bit, but you blew it.”

Cardi B Drops The Faja Facts On Her Post-Pregnancy Transformation

Oh, but Cardi wasn’t having it. In true Cardi B style, she immediately clapped back, tweeting: “Y’all really need to relax ..This is how my body REALLY LOOKS LIKE,” sharing photos of herself rocking a stunning nude black dress.

But that wasn’t the end of it. Another user took it a step further, body-shaming the rapper’s stomach, saying, “Babe, you still look crazy, and your stomach always looks like it’s about to rip apart. Focusing so much on how you look right now shouldn’t even be a thing because you just pushed out a child 😵‍💫 We gotta stop this.”

Cardi, never one to let an insult slide, responded in her usual fiery way, writing:

“B***h, you literally look like a f**in’ potato yet you talking bout my looks with a passion. This why I be dragging you b*****s by y’all draws, cause b***h why you got so much nerves.”

But beyond the witty comebacks and humor, Cardi made sure to clarify some facts. She retweeted a post from a fan pointing out that women are typically advised to wait at least six months after giving birth before considering plastic surgery. Cardi had only given birth a month ago, making the surgery rumors even more ridiculous.

For Cardi, this latest round of body shaming couldn’t have come at a worse time. Between balancing life as a new mom, handling her highly publicized divorce, working on her next studio album, and prepping for her performance at One Music Fest, the last thing she needs to worry about is defending her body.

Yet, the almost birthday girl’s refusal to be silenced proves once again why she’s such a powerful voice for women, especially those who face relentless scrutiny over their appearances.

Rockstar Rih Rih Rocks $2500 Boxers For A$AP Rocky’s 36th Birthday

Rihanna always knows how to make a bold fashion statement, and the looks she popped out with to celebrate A$AP Rocky‘s 36th birthday proved it.

The stylish duo took to the streets of New York to celebrate the “Fashion Killa” rapper’s big day. The Barbadian billionaire bombshell stepped out in a black cocktail dress, a mink bomber jacket and Dolce and Gabbana sunnies. The birthday boy opted for a chic, all-gray Bottega Veneta suit with a complimentary overcoat.

Earlier in the evening, Rihanna pulled off another look to remind us all that she is very, very rich. The Anti singer donned a floor-length Bottega Veneta coat, a $2500 pair of leather boxer briefs from the brand and their $5200 medium sardine bag. If you want to call us broke, just say that Rih!

The pair seem to be building quite a relationship with Bottega. Rocky starred in the brand’s Fathers Day campaign and Rihanna showed up to take in their newest collection this year.

It’s nice to see the two of them out for a date night. Between raising their toddler sons—RZA, 2 and Riot, 1—and building their respective empires, the posh pair stay booked and busy. On Sept. 27, Mama Rih shared a video of RZA escaping his playpen with the caption, “Being a boy mom is an Olympic sport.” She has been relatively quiet outside of a few appearances during NYFW.

Though Rihanna fans continue begging for more music, it seems that her rapping beau plans to bless his supporters soon. After announcing that he will release a new album, Rocky released a new track with J. Cole.

The four-minute track titled “Ruby Rosary” scratched the itch for his fans who have been waiting for new music from the Harlem-born lyricist since 2018. His new album, Don’t Be Dumb, has been delayed but is still slated for a 2024 release.

Fat Joe Talks is a weekly show hosted and executive produced by the multi-hyphenate artist and cultural icon, and in each 30-minute episode, he brings the audience along for intimate conversations and never-told-before stories with some of America’s favorite celebrities and newsmakers driving the cultural zeitgeist.

Fat Joe will engage with his guests in ways that allow them to open up like never before.

Get an exclusive first look at the show’s opening sequence which features an original theme song by Fat Joe himself!

We also had the exclusive opportunity to sit down with him as he shared his thoughts on the new season and what makes this show so special.

During an interview with BOSSIP’s Liz Smith, Fat Joe revealed that he’s extremely grateful for the opportunity as hosting a talk show has been a lifelong dream.

“I’m feeling very very happy that STARZ gave me an opportunity to have my own talk show. It’s something I dreamed of as a kid in elementary school in the Bronx,” said Joe.

“So when I use to be in those talent shows I always dreamed big you know so that fact that your dream came true, you’re in Hollywood, you’re on people’s TV it’s an amazing thing.”

With Fat Joe welcoming new guests each week, it was only fitting that his first guest was none other than Method Man on his home turf in Staten Island, along with a surprise appearance by the legendary Buju Banton.

According to Joe, their individual stories are just the tip of the iceberg on the show.

“This show is all about turning a negative to a positive. You’re going to learn from your favorite icons and be like a fly on the wall and hear stories that you never heard before. Stories about starting from the mud and how we came up out of there. With each and every guest it’s a different lens and I’m coming from a different view but it’s always inspirational and uplifting the culture.”

So what are Fat Joe’s goals and ambitions for this season? He told BOSSIP that it’s to feature guests from all walks of life.

“I’m very very optimistic and I’m always a dreamer so I’m hoping after the first season, people we don’t even think of are going to come on the show and be like alright this is a safe space, I can be vulnerable and cool and at the same time have a desire to do the show. So it might be a Tom Brady or someone we would never think of in history to do it come through and do it!”

Fat Joe will not only bring entertainment and exclusive conversations, but he’ll also inspire and motivate viewers to pursue their dreams and aspirations.

Be sure to tune in tonight on STARZ at 10:00 PM ET/PT to Fat Joe Talks with new episodes dropping every Friday.

What’s A King To A God? Denzel Dazzles & Delights With Delicious Decadence In New ‘Gladiator II’ Trailer

We’re only a few months away from watching Denzel put on a show as former slave-turned-wealthy power broker Macrinus in long-awaited blockbuster sequel Gladiator II.

The iconic actor, 69, will recruit the gladiator of all gladiators as his instrument to overthrow the Roman empire years after the first Gladiator film that won the Oscar for Best Picture.

“Denzel is an arms dealer who supplies food for the armies in Europe, supplies wine and oil, makes steel, makes spears, weapons, cannons, and catapults,” revealed Director Ridley Scott in an interview with Vanity Fair. “So he is a very wealthy man. Instead of having a stable of racehorses, he has a stable of gladiators. He’s beautiful. He drives a golden Ferrari. I got him a gold-plated chariot.”

Interestingly, the real-life Macrinus actually became Emperor of Rome after assassinating Caracalla (widely regarded as one of Rome’s cruelest leaders) in 217.

In true Denzel fashion, his scene-stealing character has his signature New York accent that continues to fuel hilarious discourse across the internet.

“Well, the thing was, where are we?” said Washington about his creative choice in the most recent issue of Empire magazine. “Whose accent would it be? What does that sound like anyway? You’re going to end up imitating someone and end up with a bad African accent.”

In Gladiator II, the epic saga continues with a new titular character named Lucius (Paul Mescal) who’s forced to enter the Colosseum after his home is conquered by the tyrannical Emperors who now lead Rome with an iron fist.

‘With rage in his heart and the future of the Empire at stake, Lucius must look to his past to find strength and honor to return the glory of Rome to its people,’ per the official synopsis.

Displeasure Principle: Janet Jackson’s ‘Apology’ For Repeating QAnon Questioning Of Kamala Harris’ Blackness Was Unauthorized

Damnit, Damita Jo!

Janet Jackson’s team has denied that she issued an apology for comments she made leaning into right wing and QAnon conspiracy theories that Vice President Kamala Harris is not Black. According to Jackson’s representatives, someone purporting to be her manager released an unauthorized statement on her behalf saying her words were based on “misinformation.”

The statement picked up by BuzzFeed and other outlets was attributed to a man named Mo Elmasri and it read:

“Janet Jackson would like to clarify her recent comments. She recognizes that her statements regarding Vice President Kamala Harris’ racial identity were based on misinformation. Janet respects Harris’ dual heritage as both Black and Indian and apologizes for any confusion caused. She values the diversity Harris represents and understands the importance of celebrating that in today’s society.”

On Monday, Jackson’s team clarified to Variety that Elmasri is not associated with the singer. Elmasri, an Egyptian filmmaker and founder of 24 East Agency, identified himself as a now-former manager of Jackson, and claimed to have been dismissed by Jackson and her brother, Randy, after efforts to “improve her image.”

“Janet Jackson fired me due to disagreements between me, her, and Randy, after her meeting with the Guardian and her unbalanced statements,” The Daily Beast reports Mo Elmasri told them in an emailed statement.

“That’s all I can say,” he added. When asked for further comment, he said he could not “receive phone calls due to the large number of calls,” while adding, “All support to Kamala Harris.”

Variety reports that Jackson’s actual management team has been led by her brother Randy Jackson for many years, and the siblings are currently mourning the recent passing of their brother Tito, making them unavailable for comment at the time of the incident.

What Did Janet Jackson Say About Kamala Harris?

Over the weekend, an interview with Janet was published by The Guardian in which she kookily questioned the accuracy of Kamala Harris’ racial background.

“‘Well, you know what they supposedly said?’” Jackson told the news outlet. “‘She’s not Black. That’s what I heard. That she’s Indian.’”

“Her father’s white. That’s what I was told. I mean, I haven’t watched the news in a few days,” she said. “I was told that they discovered her father was white.”

Her comments sparked backlash from fans disappointed to hear that Damita Jo was mirroring conspiracy theory right-wing talking points comments made by Sunkist Stalin who alleged that Harris “turned Black.”

Harris’ father has been confirmed to be a Jamaican immigrant who came to the U.S. to pursue a PhD in economics. Madame VP’s mom, who died in 2009, was an Indian immigrant.

It was all vibes and real talk when singer Mariah The Scientist and rapper Latto sat down with WNBA superstar Angel Reese on her hit new podcast, Unapologetically Angel. During the candid conversation, Mariah opened up about her relationship with Young Thug, real name Jeffrey Williams, who’s currently facing federal RICO charges. And let’s just say, love knows no bounds—even behind bars.

Mariah didn’t hold back as she shared what it’s been like standing by her man since his arrest in 2022. “I love my man…if somebody told me that a few months into my relationship, my man would get locked up – he’s been locked up now for longer than we were together before he got locked up,” she revealed.

Angel, always quick with the relatable take, compared Mariah’s situation to a long-distance relationship. Mariah agreed, laughing as she said, “At least I get to see him in court,” adding that sometimes she goes just to “breathe his air.”

If you’ve ever had a loved one locked up, you know those calls can come at any moment. Right in the middle of the sit-down, Mariah received a call from none other than Young Thug himself. Without skipping a beat, she briefly updated him on where she was, exchanged sweet “I love you’s,” and got right back into the convo with Angel and Latto. It was a real-life moment that showed just how dedicated she is to her relationship.

For Mariah, this love story started just months before Thug’s arrest. The couple made headlines when rumors of their romance were confirmed in her music video for Walked In, where the two “got married” on screen. Since his arrest, Mariah has been a constant presence in court, holding it down for her man while the trial continues. As of now, Young Thug remains behind bars awaiting a verdict, but that hasn’t stopped Mariah from staying strong and standing by him.

Between Mariah’s openness about her relationship and Latto’s fun energy, this was one sit-down you didn’t want to miss!

Twin, Where Have You Been? Natasha Rothwell Felt A Connection To Viral Sensation Reesa Teesa When They Met

Insecure alum and How To Die Alone creator Natasha Rothwell felt a sisterly connection when she met TikTok sensation Reesa Teesa of the viral “Who TF Did I Marry?” series.

According to PEOPLE, the pair are set to adapt the 52-part social media hit into a TV series and Rothwell says she felt an instant camaraderie to both her story as well as who she was as a person.

“It was not her trauma that interested me and [made me] want to throw my hat in the ring, it was her — who she is as a person, how she survived all of it — and viral fame, how she’s surviving that,” she said. I was like, ‘Oh, now this is when I lean in.’”

After winning an intense bidding war for production rights, Rothwell was able to seal the deal on bringing Reesa Teesa‘s story to Hollywood and met up with her in person for the first time last month. She said the two felt “like twins” right from the start.

“We were just in such a mutual love bubble of just enjoying each other and understanding each other and learning about each other,” she said.

Though social media came to know Reesa Teesa through a riveting and insane story about her ex-husband, Rothwell promises to bring more to the table than what we’ve already heard.

“I’m definitely excited to approach her story in a 360 [degree] way and not just…retell the story we’ve all consumed,” she said. “I think she’s far more interesting than what has happened to her.”

In the meantime, Rothwell has her hands full after the premiere of How To Die Alone. The critically acclaimed Hulu series has everyone celebrating on her behalf. After making us fall in love with her as Kelly on Issa Rae’s Insecure and causing us all to root for her on HBO’s White Lotus, Rothwell is finally taking the lead role in a show that chronicles the loneliness and monotony of adulthood.
