Cardi B Dishes the Truth on Hip-Hop, ‘It’s Not Bad, Fans Just Need to Figure Out What They Want
Cardi B Dishes the Truth on Hip-Hop, ‘It’s Not Bad, Fans Just Need to Figure Out What They Want
Cardi B is setting the record straight about the current state of hip-hop, dismissing claims that the genre is in a slump. In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the 31-year-old artist expressed her belief that it’s not hip-hop that’s the issue, but rather that fans are grappling with uncertainty about their preferences.
“People keep saying like, ‘Oh, the state of hip-hop is bad right now — blah, blah, blah,’” Cardi B began. “I don’t think it’s bad right now; I just feel like people just don’t know what they want. I feel like social media is running too much, so I just feel like just keep doing you, f*ck what people got to say.”
Contrary to Lil Yachty’s recent assertion that “hip-hop is in a terrible place,” Cardi B sees it differently, emphasizing the impact of social media on shaping opinions. In her view, the key is for artists to stay true to themselves despite external criticism.
The interview covered a range of topics, from the Super Bowl to Usher’s upcoming halftime performance, Travis Kelce, and even Taylor Swift. While Cardi B shared her optimistic take on hip-hop, she acknowledged the diverse opinions within the industry.
Cardi’s perspective stands in contrast to Lil Yachty, who lamented the current state of hip-hop during Rolling Stone’s “Musicians on Musicians” event in Brooklyn. Yachty criticized the prevalence of imitation, quick, low-quality music, and a lack of risk-taking and originality in the genre.
As Cardi B continues to make headlines, fans are eagerly awaiting the release of her much-anticipated sophomore album, slated for 2024. The artist, known for her authenticity, assures fans that she’s fine-tuning the project to deliver a unique and unforgettable musical experience.

Chris Brown Strikes Back: A $500M Legal Battle Against Warner Bros Over Controversial Docuseries
Chris Brown is making headlines with a massive $500 million lawsuit against Warner Bros. and a production company called Ample Entertainment. He says their new docuseries, “Chris Brown: A History of Violence,” is filled with exaggerations about him. This lawsuit, filed on January 21, places Brown at the center of a hot debate about how the media tells stories about public figures.
The docuseries focuses on his troubled past, featuring controversial moments that have shaped how the public views him. However, Brown’s team claims that it goes beyond just telling facts. They argue that it uses misleading claims that hurt his reputation. His legal team feels that the series paints him negatively, ignoring how he has grown since past incidents.
Throughout his career, he has been a celebrated musician, dancer, and figure surrounded by controversy. As of now, Warner Bros. and Ample Entertainment have not responded to the lawsuit. However, this case raises important questions about what filmmakers should and shouldn’t do when telling stories about real people. For Brown, this lawsuit is not just about seeking money; it’s about taking control of how his life story is shared.
He feels frustrated with an entertainment industry that, focuses more on drama than the truth. Reactions to his lawsuit have been mixed. Some supporters argue that the media often emphasizes Brown’s wrongdoings while ignoring his creative contributions. Critics, however, see the lawsuit as an effort to avoid facing honest criticism. As this situation unfolds, it’s clear that Chris Brown is not just after $500 million; he’s also fighting for how his life story is perceived. Whether he will win this battle remains uncertain, but it is already creating discussions about the influence of the media.
