Style Cardi B: style star We already knew Cardi B was a star but over the past month, she’s proven herself as an emerging star in the high fashion world. The timing couldn’t be more perfect. A few weeks ago, Cardi was at New York Fashion Week but no one was talking about By Kathleen • Sep 28, 2018 12:46 pm
Girly Throw Downs Cardi vs. Nicki Violence is never the answer. Violence is not funny. Before I address the Cardi B and Nicki Minaj situation, I want to first make it clear that I don’t think that most physical altercations are laughing matters and that when it comes to rap beefs, we know how serious By Kathleen • Sep 10, 2018 10:27 am
Music Cardi B: VMAs darling This mess of a show needed Cardi B. When it was announced that Cardi B would be opening the VMAs, people assumed that meant a performance. They were disappointed when it became clear that Cardi was only going to show up for a charming but anti-climactic baby reveal gag and By Kathleen • Aug 21, 2018 12:18 pm
Name Nerd Cardi B’s Baby Kulture Kiari I love it. It wasn’t instant. I had to sit with it for a second, think about it, and then decide. But I love it. I’ll get to the obvious Offset connections in a second, but first … You know that thing where certain names are so singular they By Duana • Jul 12, 2018 08:47 am
Met Gala 2018 Cardi B: Met’s best new player This is Cardi B’s first Met Gala. Aren’t you sad now that we haven’t had years of Cardi x the Met? Cardi came out swinging. LOOK AT HER. There’s no coasting on a basic body-con dress because a) she’s pregnant or b) it’s her By Kathleen • May 08, 2018 07:29 am
Music Nicki Day during Cardi Week I don’t think Nicki Minaj or Cardi B wanted to be sharing headlines this week. In a week that should be monumental for them both, individually, Nicki Minaj and Cardi B are entangled in a predictable but still frustrating storyline. It’s the easy narrative: the lone chart-topping women By Kathleen • Apr 13, 2018 11:44 am
Music Intro for April 12, 2018 Dear Gossips, There are two artists dominating music at the moment: Cardi B and Drake. Drake’s God’s Plan is, so far, the biggest song of 2018. It’s been #1 for 11 weeks straight now. Every week there’s a new think-piece or three about why God’s By Lainey • Apr 12, 2018 09:11 am
Baby and Bump Obsession Cardi Week Let's talk about Cardi B's body. Well, let’s talk about Cardi B’s profile in GQ, written by Caity Weaver, which has now become a conversation about Cardi B’s body.

Music Cardi B’s Invasion Of Privacy Bodak Yellow dropped 10 months ago. It’s hard to imagine the charts without Cardi B. Her culture dominance and her presence in the pop world are now so pervasive, it’s astonishing that it has only been 10 MONTHS since Bodak Yellow became the instant classic that catapulted her By Kathleen • Apr 09, 2018 10:29 am
Baby and Bump Obsession Cardi B is pregnant Cardi B capped off a weekend of incredible reviews and an already-certified gold album (my review is coming up next) with the official announcement of her pregnancy. On SNL. In a tight white Christian Siriano dress, during a performance of the best song on an album full of great songs. By Kathleen • Apr 09, 2018 10:01 am
Music Cardi B and #MeToo in hip-hop Cardi B does not fit the mold of the “perfect victim.” The “perfect victim” is not an ex-stripper. She’s not a woman of colour. She doesn’t dress the way Cardi B dresses or talks the way Cardi B talks. We’ve seen it time and time again in By Kathleen • Mar 21, 2018 10:36 am
Grammy Awards 2018 Bruno Mars and Cardi B bring the JOY The thing that almost angers me the most about Bruno Mars beating out Jay-Z and Kendrick Lamar (and even Childish Gambino) for Album of The Year is that it puts me in the position of having to say anything about Bruno Mars other than that he’s a goddamn delight By Kathleen • Jan 29, 2018 09:11 am
Music Cock-jacking Justin Timberlake Justin Timberlake released a video today for his song Filthy. It’s the one where he seems to be mansplaining to an audience full of Asians how to do robotics. JT wanted it to be the music event of the weekend. And since it’s Golden Globes weekend, he’s By Lainey • Jan 05, 2018 01:42 pm
Cardi B Cardi B’s “genuine-tivity” One of my favourite celebrity profiles of the year was Allison P. Davis’s piece for New York Magazine on Cardi B. It delightfully captures Cardi’s rags-to-riches come-up while also giving a delicious glimpse into the whimsical mind of rap’s brightest breakout star.

Music Taylor sends Cardi flowers As mentioned the other day in What Else, with Bodak Yellow, Cardi B became the first female solo rapper to hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 18 years, taking down Taylor Swift’s Look What You Made Me Do. And it’s worth a conversation because, obviously, Cardi By Lainey • Sep 27, 2017 10:39 am
