In a recent video making the rounds online, the Grammy-winning artist spoke candidly about her earlier plans to undergo another procedure after her Little Miss Drama Tour. At the time, she had considered reducing the size of her implants, saying she wanted to “take a little bit out.”

However, those plans have since changed. Cardi B explained that a mix of her busy schedule and a shift in mindset led her to reconsider the decision. Over time, she says she has grown more comfortable in her own skin and no longer feels the urge to make adjustments.

She also pointed to motherhood and life experiences as key factors in that transformation, noting that her body has naturally evolved after having children. Instead of seeing those changes as something to fix, she now embraces them as part of her journey.

According to the rapper, she currently feels “really comfortable” and “really good” about herself—highlighting self-acceptance and confidence as priorities over physical alterations.

Her comments have since sparked conversations among fans, with many praising her honesty and the message of embracing one’s body.

The agency had commented, “As long as she doesn’t drug and rob our agents, we’ll consider that an improvement over her past behavior,” referencing allegations that Cardi B once drugged and robbed Homeland Security agents.

Cardi, known for her bold personality and past jokes about jumping ICE agents at her concerts, didn’t let the remark slide. Instead, she turned the conversation toward what she believes should really be on the radar.

”If we talking about drugs let’s talk about Epstein and friends drugging underage girls to rape them. Why y’all don’t wanna talk about the Epstein files,” she fired back on her X handle, challenging the agency to focus on the bigger scandals instead.

In other news, Cardi B has spoken out against the backlash surrounding her relationship with NFL star Stefon Diggs, calling on critics to stop attacking her over her personal choices.

Taking to her social media page, the outspoken artiste addressed comments targeting her for having a child with the athlete, stressing that the situation is irreversible and should no longer be a topic of public scrutiny.

Cardi made it clear that she cannot undo the past, noting that she already shares a child with Diggs and there is no way to change that reality.

According to the rapper, the constant criticism has taken an emotional toll on her, adding to her stress and frustration. She urged people to stop “dragging” her online and allow her some peace.

“I can’t change it, I can’t go back in time. Do you want me to put my baby back in my tummy? I can’t do that,” she said. “You all need to stop calling me out. I’m already stressed.”

Cardi B, born Belcalis Almanzar, commanded the stage in the early hours of Sunday, transforming the festival grounds into a pulsating celebration. Her performance was among the weekend’s most anticipated, drawing thousands of fans to the MDLBEAST-organised event in Saudi Arabia’s capital.

The Grammy-winning rapper’s decision to perform in Saudi Arabia sparked widespread conversation beforehand, given the country’s conservative cultural norms and her bold style and explicit lyrics.

Addressing the moment with her signature humour, Cardi shared a video on Instagram upon arrival, clad in a flowing black gown with a head covering resembling an abaya, captioning it: “Hello, Saudi Arabia… Halal B has arrived.”

On stage, she adapted her set to suit the local context, delivering a largely clean performance with only a few minor slips, while the DJ’s opening set also reflected a toned-down approach. Despite these adjustments, the energy and intensity that fans have come to expect from Cardi remained undiminished.

Backed by vibrant dancers and a colourful outfit, Cardi powered through a mix of fan favourites and tracks from her chart-topping album Am I the Drama?, including Press, Bartier Cardi, No Limit (Remix), I Like It, and Pretty & Petty.

At one point, she stepped off stage to greet fans near the barricades, creating intimate moments amidst the spectacle.

Cardi also made deliberate efforts to connect with the local audience, incorporating Saudi references into her set. “Saudi Arabia, how are we doing tonight?” she asked, later greeting the crowd with “As-salamu alaykum!” She thanked fans for the warm reception, describing the experience as “mashallah.”

The stage visuals mirrored this cultural fusion, featuring Arabian-inspired motifs and imagery influenced by the region’s historic silk and handloom traditions.

American rapper Kiari Cephus, better known by his stage name Offset, has finally spoken out about months of swirling rumours linking him to fellow rapper Saweetie, while also sharing rare insight into his failed marriage with Cardi B.

In a heartfelt conversation with actress and singer Keke Palmer, the former Migos member set the record straight, dismissing the allegations as nothing more than wild internet chatter.

“That whole Saweetie thing was just weird,” he said, describing the rumours as “strange and unnecessary.”

According to Offset, the speculation took on a life of its own, fuelled by gossip blogs and social media narratives that had no basis in truth.

But beyond clearing the air, the rapper also took a moment to reflect on more personal matters, particularly his separation from Grammy-winning superstar Cardi B.

“I messed up, and it cost me my marriage,” he confessed, admitting that his infidelity and poor decisions were central to the breakdown of their nearly seven-year union.

Despite the public fallout, Offset spoke of Cardi with deep respect, affectionately referring to her as “bro,” and revealed that while their divorce is still pending, there’s no bad blood between them.

The rapper also touched on the darker side of fame, speaking candidly about the emotional toll of losing his cousin and Migos bandmate, Takeoff.

Offset revealed that the grief once pushed him into a cycle of addiction, relying heavily on codeine as a coping mechanism. However, through therapy and faith, he said he’s gradually finding his balance again.

“I’m focused on becoming a better man now,” he shared, reflecting on his growth through pain, loss, and the lessons that come with global fame.

The tension reignited after Nicki took to X (formerly Twitter) to throw pointed jabs at Cardi’s album performance, suggesting her numbers were “inflated” and yet still underwhelming compared to her own.

She didn’t stop there her posts (now deleted) went beyond music, targeting Cardi’s pregnancy with boyfriend Steffon Diggs, her looks, her family, and even her surgery history.

“A b c d e f Gree,” Nicki tweeted.

“Sur ger ree to look like meee. A b c d e f g”

“Rap like Barney still UGLEEE”

“Barney B

The not-so-subtle digs quickly caught Cardi B’s attention. The Bronx rapper has already faced public scrutiny over her pregnancy, critics claiming it was “immoral” and “embarrassing” to be expecting a child with her boyfriend while still legally married to Offset. But Cardi came back swinging.

— Cardi B (@iamcardib) September 30, 2025

She clapped back by calling Nicki “Cocaine Barbie,” questioning her commercial impact, and mocking her obsession with comparisons. According to Cardi, Nicki should be measuring herself against peers who debuted around her time—not against someone who was still in high school when she blew up.

“Why do you keep bringing up my album? It’s not the gag that you think it is. You’ve been in the game like 16 years, you need to compare yourself to YOUR peers that started around your time..Rihanna, Taylor Swift, Drake, those are the numbers you should be competing with, and you can’t because you’re doing lower than all of them. I was in high school when you came out. wtf are you comparing yourself to me?”

And when it came to Nicki’s repeated shots about her pregnancy, Cardi didn’t mince words either. She flipped the insult back, accusing Nicki of struggling with fertility due to drug use.

“Alright now, this is the third tweet talking about my pregnancy, like you weren’t going to different fertility doctors cuz you couldn’t reproduce from all the percs scrambling your eggs. NOT ALLEGEDLY, lord protect my babies.”

The exchanges, heavy with career shade and deeply personal jabs, underline just how bitter the rivalry between the two megastars remains fueling not only their own animosity but also the never-ending war between their fanbases.

The Grammy-winning rapper unveiled the guest lineup earlier this week, and Tyla’s name stands tall among an impressive roster that includes Janet Jackson, Selena Gomez, Kehlani, Megan Thee Stallion, Cash Cobain, Lizzo, and Summer Walker.

While the project is stacked with global icons, it’s Tyla’s appearance that has sparked the most excitement, particularly after months of swirling rumors.

Talk of a collaboration between the two gained momentum earlier in the year when Cardi and Tyla were spotted together. Speculation deepened when Cardi publicly defended the Push 2 Start hitmaker from online critics, leaving fans convinced the two had been working on music behind the scenes. That anticipation has now been validated, as Tyla officially joins one of the most anticipated releases of 2025.

Cardi B heightened the buzz with a cheeky teaser post on X, writing: “Who else is the drama?” before sharing the tracklist. With two singles, Outside and Imaginary Playerz, already warming up the charts, listeners are eager to hear how the rest of the album unfolds.

For Tyla, this feature arrives at a golden point in her trajectory. Just days ago, she celebrated surpassing 3 billion Spotify streams, while her viral smash Water earned her a place in the platform’s coveted Billions Club. Once dismissed by skeptics as a one-hit act, the 23-year-old has steadily silenced doubts, establishing herself as one of Africa’s most promising exports.

As Cardi prepares to deliver her sophomore project, complete with multiple cover arts, including one inspired by her recent courtroom appearances, Tyla’s inclusion underscores her fast rise from Johannesburg to the global stage. Sharing space on such a high-profile album cements her as part of the new wave of African stars reshaping the international music landscape.

• Cardi B slams Offset, demands he signs divorce papers in heated rant

The strained relationship between estranged American couple Cardi B and Offset has taken another tumultuous turn, as the rapper has once again called out her husband in a fiery social media post.

On January 15, 2024, Cardi B took to her social media platforms, voicing her frustration with Offset’s alleged neglect of their children and his stalling of their ongoing divorce proceedings.

Cardi B, clearly upset, shared her grievances, stating that she had reached her limit with Offset’s actions. She accused him of repeatedly contacting her without genuine intentions and resorting to behind-the-scenes tactics to get under her skin.

“I didn’t want to do this, but I don’t like when I’m at peace and a motherfucker wants to call me over and over, and then do little shit behind the scenes to piss me off. You want to see the kids? You just called your daughter for the first time this year yesterday — your newborn,” she said in the video.

Cardi continued, alleging that Offset failed to buy any of their three children Christmas gifts, including their newborn baby.

“You love your kids so much, but you didn’t buy them something for Christmas. You go to New York to buy your other kids gifts, but you ain’t bought my kids shit. You’re doing this just to spite me,” she added in the heated rant.

The mother of three made it clear that she was fed up, demanding that Offset take immediate action in their divorce process.

Cardi B just revealed in her recent space that F-List Rapper, Offset is now a dead beat father to her kids.

She said he didn't buy a single gift for her kids on Christmas day but he bought for his other kids.

“You’re going to stop fucking playing with me, and you’re going to sign these fucking divorce papers,” she demanded.

Cardi further emphasized that Offset could no longer use their children as an excuse for his actions, especially when he failed to fulfill basic fatherly duties such as buying gifts for Christmas.

“Stop using my kids as an excuse. You’re not going to use my kids as an excuse because these are the same kids that you didn’t buy anything for during Christmas,” she concluded, visibly frustrated.

Cardi B and Offset, who married in 2017, share two children: daughter Kulture, 5, and son Wave, 2, along with their newborn daughter. Despite their volatile relationship, marked by breakups and reconciliations, the couple had managed to co-parent. However, after Cardi B officially filed for divorce in August 2024, their relationship has continued to sour, with tensions escalating in the public eye.
