Cardi B Defends Putting 'WAP' On Her New Album

Cardi B is back and unapologetically setting the record straight. With her upcoming sophomore album Am I the Drama? dropping September 19, the Bronx-born superstar confirmed that her iconic hits "WAP" and "Up" will be part of the 23-song tracklist. While critics called it lazy or outdated, Cardi fired back with pure queen energy.

Taking to X, she explained: "WAP and Up are two of my biggest songs... my fans have been asking me to put them on an album." She made it clear the move isn’t about sales gimmicks – those songs don’t even count toward first-week numbers. It’s about giving her loyal fanbase the full experience.

Cardi also unveiled an Instagram video dripping in symbolism and defiance: "Seven years I gave them grace, but now I give them hell... I’m not your villain, I’m your karma." With fiery visuals and a venomous tone, it’s clear she’s not just dropping an album – she’s reclaiming the narrative.

Expect Am I the Drama? to dominate conversations, playlists, and headlines. Cardi isn’t here to play nice – she’s here to remind the world why she never left.

Fat Joe Vows to Get Even With Ex-Hypeman and His Attorney ... In Court

Fat Joe is done being silent. The Bronx-born rap icon is launching a full-scale legal assault on his ex-hypeman, Terrance "T.A." Dixon, and the attorney backing him, Tyrone Blackburn. The controversy escalated when Blackburn was arrested for allegedly hitting a man with his car—and Joe wasted no time labeling him a "clout-chaser."

At the center of this storm is a lawsuit filled with shocking, unsubstantiated allegations. Joe calls it legal extortion, cooked up after firing T.A., who he claims is now coming after him out of spite. Joe says he's endured enough this year, having lost both his parents and close friend Raul Conde. But instead of breaking down, he’s fighting back.

With his own attorney Joe Tacopina leading the charge, Fat Joe is promising a no-holds-barred legal battle. In his words, he's survived worse in the streets of the Bronx. Now, he’s turning that same energy loose in court.

This isn't just a case—it's a war. And Joey Crack's not the one to test.

The Weeknd Curated New, Flawless Transitions Between Tracks

The Weeknd’s return to Los Angeles was more than a concert—it was a moment. Opening the first of four sold-out nights at SoFi Stadium, the superstar reclaimed the same stage that once silenced him in 2022. This time, he delivered one of the most electric performances of his career, marking a record-setting seventh sold-out SoFi show for a male artist.

Wearing a regal black-and-gold Ethiopian kaba, The Weeknd embraced his heritage while his XO fanbase paid tribute to his past eras with vintage looks from previous tours. The energy was only turned up when Playboi Carti shocked the crowd by bringing out Travis Scott, igniting the arena with “Goosebumps,” “Crush,” and “FE!N.” Carti later returned for high-powered collabs on “Timeless” and “Rather Lie.”

The Weeknd and producer Mike Dean also unveiled brand-new, cinematic transitions, seamlessly blending new material from Hurry Up Tomorrow with fan favorites. One highlight? A soulful mash-up of “Creepin” and “Niagara Falls.”

The most iconic moment came during “Faith,” when The Weeknd unmasked himself to the roar of 70,000 fans before flexing: “Four nights, SoFi, back to back to back.”

From intimate singalongs with fans to all-out sonic assaults, The Weeknd proved once again that he’s not just back—he’s untouchable.
