Hicks co-founded Noontime Music, home to over 35 #1 Billboard Records. He has served as the manager of the careers of Grammy Award winning writers Bryan-Michael Cox and Johnta Austin and has also worked as a creative consultant to Usher, Mary J. Blige, Aaliyah and Letoya. As Senior Vice President for Warner Chappell Publishing, Hicks signed and worked with Grammy award-winning writers such as TI, Lil Wayne, The-Dream and more.

Hicks will put significant focus on the building out of Quality Control’s new Music Publishing ventures. Hicks, along with the company’s principals Pierre “P” Thomas and Kevin “Coach K” Lee, intends to leverage the company’s unique ability to develop market share against the company’s standing in popular culture to position the company as a pivotal player in both the development and acquisitions spaces.

Cardi B Draws the Line After Fan Reaches for Her During Performance in Las Vegas Nightclub

Cardi B made it clear she had boundaries on the dance floor when a fan tried to touch her while she was dancing at a Las Vegas nightclub. The incident happened while the Bronx superstar was performing at a Las Vegas nightclub during her iHeartRadio Music Festival weekend.

Cardi was dancing with her back to the crowd when a fan reached out and tapped her behind. Hollywood Unlocked captured the interaction on camera and posted it to Instagram, where it shows Cardi instantly swatting the fan’s hand away after he tried to tap her.

That brief exchange ignited a flurry of online activity. Some fans criticized the attendee for crossing a personal boundary, while others responded to the unexpected moment with humor. Regardless of the response, the episode showed the unpredictable nature of celebrity encounters in a crowded public space.

Cardi has always been candid and forthcoming with her audience online, but that intimacy doesn’t always carry over to in-person interactions. The nightclub incident was a brief reminder that you can still set boundaries as a performer in a high-energy environment, with fans close to the stage.
