Sia has gotten herself all mixed up about Nicki Minaj and Cardi B and the two rappers infamous feud, but the singer has since apologized and tried to put it behind her. On Friday (June 12th), a fan asked Sia if she would ever collaborate with Nicki Minaj. "Have u seen this pic?" the fan asked, referring to a photo of Nicki rocking a wig similar to Sia's signature black and white bob. "Where's the collab with Nicki Minaj? We need it." Sia proceeded to respond to the tweet, seemingly confusing Nicki for her at-one-time foe, Cardi B. "I love Cardi B and although this isn’t a collaboration, I would love to COLLAB with her any day!"
The Barbz were appalled that she'd made such a dreadful mistake, reminding Sia that Nicki and Cardi have had beef for years. However, Sia told fans that they should not be worried about a feud and instead putting their energy into more important matters.
"Dudes. I also like [Nicki Minaj]. I don’t give a sh*t about feuds," she wrote in a since-deleted tweet. "George Floyd was f*cking murdered Breonna Taylor. Murdered. Come on let’s rise in unity. You think Cardi B and Nikki [sic] are so petty that they would want you focusing on a silly feud instead of REAL NEWS?" She went on to tag both rappers in another since-deleted tweet, rhetorically asking them if they were concerned about their feud right now to get the point across to fans. However, out of context, the tweet appears to be calling out Nicki and Cardi for supposedly reigniting their own feud instead of focusing on what really matters. “Hey @iamcardib @NICKIMINAJ you aren’t thinking about a feud right now are you? We are focused on the problem of systemic racism.”
She quickly deleted all the aforementioned tweets, and apologized for accidentally causing outrage. “I totally misunderstood a tweet earlier that has resulted in me making a buffoon out of myself," Sia tweeted. "Sorry @NICKIMINAJ and @iamcardib if you hear about it. Can I just like you both?”
Cardi B Embraces Her Real Hair
Cardi B proudly showed the world her real hair, embracing its growth after depending on wigs for so long.
Every time Cardi B steps out of the house, she’s usually got a fresh wig atop of her head, styled perfectly by one of her many glam squad members. The superstar rapper is known for her colorful locks, switching up the vibes any given day. We’ve seen her wear black hair, blonde hair, neon yellow hair, red hair, and everything in between. Now, she’s embracing the follicles that grow directly from her scalp, showing the world her natural hair and preaching self-love.
Posting a picture of herself sitting on the staircase in her crib, Cardi B boasted about the growth of her real hair.
“The end results of all that shit I put on my hair earlier,” wrote the rapper. “Treat your hair ladies …and don’t let a n***a tell you shit bout wearing wigs. It helps with hair growth ALOT!”
Cardi B straightened her locks, which sit just below her shoulders. It’s been a minute since we’ve seen the recording artist au natural so this is a pleasant sight for those who prefer her in a more understated look.

Cardi B Exposes Donald Trump Bots On Her Page
Cardi B calls out Donald Trump and his army of bots for infiltrating her page.
Now, more than ever, it is important for us to allow our voices to be heard by voting. Primaries opened up in nine states yesterday, allowing people the opportunity to express the change they would like to see in the world.
Cardi B has shown an interest in politics in the last couple of years, using her platform to endorse candidates and speak about how important it is to get out to the polls. Shortly after she told her 67-million followers to register for the 2020 election, the rapper took notice of how many bots were flooding her comments, supporting Donald Trump. She followed up the post by calling out the President and his bots.
“Just like alot of these celebs this guy got BOTS TOO,” she wrote. “Look at all these BOTS under my last post.”
The previous post showed a trio of Trump tweets, including one urging Republicans to vote in the primaries.
Is anybody really surprised that a bunch of fake accounts are running with Trump? That’s honestly the least shocking piece of news regarding him that has circulated in the last week.
If you haven’t already, make sure to get out and vote so that we can finally see the change we want in the world.
Cardi B Receives Apology From L.A. News Anchor Over Protest Remarks
Cardi B recently made a video where she spoke about looting and rioting, and a KTLA news reporter condemned her for her remarks.
Los Angeles station KTLA is backtracking on remarks a newscaster made about Cardi B. The rapper recently took to social media to address the ongoing protests across America and said that now is the time when black voices are heard, even with the destruction. "Seeing people looting and going extremely outraged, it makes me feel like 'Yes! Finally! Finally, motherf*ckers is gonna hear us now,'" she stated. "And as much as people is so against it, at this point, I feel like I’m not against it even though it do scare me and I don’t want anybody to get hurt."
View this post on InstagramDoug Kolk, a news reporter, said in a segment that Cardi B was inciting violence and calling for people to loot and riot. Soon, people began alerting the rapper of Kolk's comments, and she fired off an expletive-laced response. "@DougKolk why your no lip square head having ass ain’t put the part were I said to vote ?" she said. "You cottage cheese breath having b*tch.Why don’t you post how a conservative Christian trump supporter post my adress and encourage people to loot my home(which by the way he goin to jail )."
The reporter offered up an apology after being bombarded by fans. "I apologize to @iamcardib if I took her words out of context," Kolk wrote. "I respect her for using her platform to connect with people during these difficult times and it was wrong of me to not let her full voice be heard."
Cardi B Blasts Tomi Lahren For Criticizing Looting: "Mind Your Business"
Cardi B put Tomi Lahren in her place after the political pundit questioned the purpose of looting as a form of protest in the wake of George Floyd's murder.
Cardi B does not have time for Tomi Lahren's bad takes when yet another black man has just been killed by police. On Wednesday (May 27th), just two days after George Floyd was suffocated to death by Officer Derek Chauvin in Minneapolis sparking protests around the city, Tomi took to Twitter to share her thoughts on looting that nobody asked for. "How does looting, rioting and destroying your OWN community bring justice for anyone?" the political pundit tweeted, referring to the property damage enacted by protestors in order to make a statement.
Cardi, who has a history of beefing with Tomi and even infamously threatened to "dog walk" her, felt it her civic duty to shut her up. The rapper responded to her tweet the following day, pointing out the big picture and reminding Tomi what they're fighting against in the first place: horrific police brutality.
"How does targeting, profiling, beating and murdering black men with no consequence equal serving and protecting?" Cardi asked. "Who’s giving them justice and trust on cops ? Mind your business and eat your salad !" Later, Cardi shared her own reasons for supporting looting in a statement posted to her social media accounts.

"People are tired," she said. "So now this is what people have to resort to." Cardi also encouraged her followers to get informed on their local representatives and vote in local elections in order to spark change.
Cardi B Supports Protestors Looting, Encourages Followers To Vote
Cardi B made a PSA to her followers about police brutality, stressing that peaceful protests don't work and encouraging folks to vote in local elections.
Cardi B has made a statement in regards to the protestors fighting for justice in George Floyd's murder, indicating that looting is the result of people being "tired" of fighting against police brutality. In the wake of George Floyd's death at the hands of police, tons of activists and enraged Americans have taken to the streets of not only Minneapolis, but other cities around the U.S. to riot against the violence enacted by the police on black people. Some of these riots have resulted in the act of looting certain establishments, most notably a St Paul's Midway Target in Minnesota. While some are against looting as a form of protest, others feel that it's justified, like Cardi B. The rapper took to Instagram early Friday morning to share her thoughts on the whole situation.
View this post on Instagram"So I just wanna give my POV," Cardi began. "Seeing people looting and going extremely outraged, it makes me feel like ‘Yes! Finally! Finally, mothaf*ckas is gonna hear us now. Yeah!’ And as much as people is so against it, at this point, I feel like I’m not against it even though it do scare me and I don’t want anybody to get hurt. But it’s just really frustrating because police brutality been going on even way before I was born, but it has been more visual ever since social media started getting poppin’. Ever since, let’s say, Instagram started, how many peaceful protests have we seen? How many trending hashtags have we seen? These hashtags keep repeating themself. I feel like I’ve done videos against police brutality—this is like my seventh time. I’ve been doing police brutality videos ever since my teeth been f*cked up and the only sh*t that changed has been my f*cking teeth."

"People are tired," she continues. "They’re tired of showing that it’s like, ‘Oh, mother*ckas are educated, mother*ckas could take the grown and adult way and act peaceful.’ People are tired of that. So now this is what people have to resort to." Cardi then goes on to encourage her followers to vote in local elections in order to spark change.
"Another way for the people to take power—I don’t wan’t to make everything political, but it is what it is— it’s by voting. And when I say voting I’m not only talking about the president. We could vote for mayors, we could vote for judges, and we could also vote for DAs, district attorneys. Yes, we could vote for these people, for our county. We sure can."

"The people that are voting for these people are most likely cops, most likely rednecks," she points out. "That’s why every single time that some f*cksh*t like this happens, it goes to their favour. Because these people have the power as DAs, judges, to prosecute these cops when they do f*cksh*t like this. That’s why we have to vote. We have to be aware when these elections are going on. We have to be aware and inform ourselves of these people that are in power. You think because they’re not a senator, or they’re not a governor, or they’re not a president, that they don’t have no power, but they have power where you live at. And that’s a fact." Prior to making this video, Cardi also took to Twitter to share her thoughts on looting.
Cardi B’s Antics Do Not Phase Kulture In Hilarious Viral Clip
Cardi B and Offset's daughter, Kulture, remained completely unbothered while her mama yelled her name repeatedly in a hysterical clip.
It looks like Cardi B has finally met her match. It's no secret that Cardi has a strong personality, which at times manifests into obnoxious behaviour. Often, her antics are all good in fun, but it looks like her baby girl, Kulture, is beyond over her mama's childishness.

The famously loud rapper recently posted a hilarious video in which she filmed the almost-2-year-old glued to her iPad while sucking on a pacifier. Cardi shouts out "Kulture!" over and over at an alarmingly high volume, but her daughter doesn't even look up from her screen. Based on Kulture's non-reaction, it appears this is somewhat of a regular occurrence, and even at such a young age, she's already become accustomed to her mom acting goofy all the time. Near the end of the clip, Kulture's pacifier is removed from her mouth, which finally prompts her to look up at her mom. The baby has an expression on her face as if to say "Can I help you?" and the whole thing is just priceless.
The clip proceeded to go viral, with some insisting that it serves as proof that Cardi is really getting on Kulture's nerves. A Twitter user retweeted the video and wrote, "Kulture is so over Cardi and her antics" to which Cardi fired back by saying, "And guess who made me get out the shower ,thirty minutes later after this live with soap on me just to tuck her in and cuddle her to sleep ? Yes Miss Kulture."
"Kulture don’t like her momma and that’s the funniest part," another troll tweeted. "Every video she be ignoring tf outta all that screaming." Cardi responded to this hate with a clip of Kulture giving her a kiss, proving that her little angel actually does show her love. "Loud and wrong," she wrote.
Needless to say, the mother-daughter love is real, even if Cardi does get a little too energetic for her offspring at times.
Cardi B Label Dispute: Atlantic Records Responds To Joe Budden
Cardi B is rumored to be having issues with her record label, which is why we haven’t heard any news about her sophomore album.
It feels like forever has passed since we were initially exposed to Cardi B, the latest female rap sensation, by way of her debut album Invasion of Privacy. The Grammy-winning artist is a bonafide superstar and her first album is still performing well. However, the fact remains that two years have gone by since the world has gotten a full-length project from the Bronx-raised rapper.
Last year, she announced her official sophomore studio album, teasing a couple of new songs and releasing the “Press” single. After that, months passed without us hearing a peep out of her.
In recent weeks, it has been rumored that the rapper is facing serious contract disputes at Atlantic Records, which is the reason why she has not dropped a release date for the project yet. On the latest episode of the Joe Budden Podcast, Mike Kyser, an executive at Atlantic, phoned in to give a statement on the situation regarding Cardi.
Paras Griffin/Getty ImagesAccording to him, the alleged contract restructuring will not pose a problem for any of the rapper’s future releases.
“Cardi is a superstar and we’re gonna treat her as such. Okay? Period. She will be well taken care of. That’s my word,” he said before also confirming that Roddy Ricch, another signee at Atlantic, is in good hands.
Listen to the new episode of the podcast below and chime in on your thoughts regarding the Cardi B label rumors.
Cardi B Strikes A Quarantine Pose In Bikini Next To Pool
Cardi B continues to show off her new tattoo and her curves while posing in another bikini lick for the Gram.
A quarantine is no excuse for Cardi B not to flex for social media. The rapper has been enjoying her family time indoors under COVID-19 “Safer-At-Home” orders as she’s been keeping herself safe along with her husband Offset and their little girl Kulture. Recently, Cardi shared that even with social distancing orders in place, she’d linked up with one of her favorite tattoo artists, Jamie Schene of Union 3 Tattoo, to finish up an elaborate, floral backpiece.
Dia Dipasupil / Staff / Getty ImagesSince the ink healed, Cardi hasn’t stopped posing for Instagram in her barely-there garb. Just the other day she rocked a Fashion Nova string bikini, and she returned on Tuesday (May 26) to strike an uncomfortable pose next to her swimming pool. Cardi B was once again donning a bikini, this time in black, and she looked as if she had her glam squad on deck to make sure she was on point from head to toe. The rapper made sure to tell her followers that they should appreciate the post because she went to extra lengths to get the perfect shot.
“I suck the sh*t out my stomach for this pic so appreciated,” she penned in the caption. With over two million likes, we think people are loving it. Check out Cardi B’s bikini shot below.
Offset Tortures Cardi B With A Nerf Gun
Offset had some fun targeting Cardi B with play bullets on Memorial Day Weekend.
It looks like Cardi B and Offset definitely had a fun Memorial Day Weekend. Earlier in the day, we posted about how they showed off their marriage goals, spending time with family and dancing passionately with one another. What we failed to mention is the fact that there was a full-on war happening throughout the house.
Apparently, the only lovey-dovey moments that took place between Cardi and ‘Set were when they were bopping to some Spanish tunes. For the rest of the day, Offset was playing around with a Nerf gun, chasing his wife around the crib.
In a video posted to social media, the rapper can be seen hiding under a comforter in their bedroom before Offset barges in with a Nerf gun, taking aim and invading her privacy.
At another point during the weekend, Cardi B was enjoying some time in the pool with her friends when the rapper pulled up on her from behind with a water gun, spraying her with cold water and ruining her hair (and her evening).
Sometimes, you’ve got to watch out for the people closest to you.
Let us know how you spent the 3-day weekend in the comments. Did you have Nerf wars with family?
