Cardi B is a very proud New Yorker, and while out on the town recently, she obviously ran into a whole lot of fans of her music and persona. However, one particular die-hard drew her attention with his tattoo of her on his right thigh, which she had to kneel down and sign with a Sharpie. It was a pretty cool moment to witness, especially as the fan seemed so starstruck that he could barely say anything upon the interaction. While the rest of the fanbase is debating about pregnancy rumors, this lucky guy is happy with his moment with the Bronx femcee and will probably remember it for a good while.
As far as the Bardi Gang is concerned, Cardi B needs a lot of eyes and ears on her right now, as fans eagerly await any sort of news on a new album. But they also recently expressed support for her over a new copyright infringement lawsuit against her from Joshua Fraustro and Miguel Aguilar, artist names Sten Joddi and Kemika 1956, respectively. The issue concerns the "Enough (Miami)" single and its alleged use of portions of the song "Greasy Frybread." Even though it sounds like they just used a common synth or something like that, there's a chance this could go much further in court.
Regardless, Cardi B is still feeding fans with new hints and suggestions about her next album, including a recent R&B-leaning song snippet. Fans can't wait to hear what potential new directions her artistry takes, as well as what previous sounds and attitudes she will keep up in this transition. Obviously, we'd appreciate more new content than recycled one on such a long-awaited LP. Still, we know that the songwriting and charisma will carry either approach.
Meanwhile, Cardi B is also making a lot of waves in political discussions thanks to her condemnations of Joe Biden. However, she clarified that she has no plans to go Republican, so for all you MAGA folks out there, don't get too excited. We'll see what other antics and fan interactions occur in the lead-up to a new record. If only we were all so lucky as to get a John Hancock from our favs on our tattoos of them...

Beyoncé‘s Cowboy Carter is reportedly set to compete in the country category at the 2025 Grammys, following major snubs from the likes of the Country Music Awards and the People’s Choice Country Awards.
The Hollywood Reporter announced that the album had been accepted into the category by the Recording Academy on Wednesday (October 2). While other nominees have yet to be revealed, she’s likely to go up against the likes of Post Malone, Chris Stapleton, Lainey Wilson, Zach Bryan, Kacey Musgraves and Moroney.
Cowboy Carter is also expected be nominated for album of the year.
This will be Beyoncé’s first time competing in a country category at the awards, as she was previously denied her 2017 submission for Lemonade‘s “Daddy Lessons” to be on the ballot for Best Country Song.
Cowboy Carter has been a major commercial success since its release in March. The album debuted atop the Billboard 200 tally with 407,000 equivalent album units in its first week, making for the biggest sales week of 2024 at the time – though it has since been one-upped by Taylor Swift’s latest effort.
Twenty three of the album’s 27 songs also made it to the Billboard Hot 100 chart, bringing the Houston native’s career total Billboard Hot 100 songs to 106. She is now just the 17th artist and only the third woman to score over 100 entries since the Hot 100 was launched in 1958.
But despite this, Beyoncé was snubbed completely at the 2024 Country Music Awards – receiving zero nominations.
She then came out empty handed at the 2024 People’s Choice Country Awards – despite receiving the second highest number of nominations this year.
Ahead of the event, which went down on September 26, Bey was up for a staggering 17 nominations for the album.
All winners at the People’s Country Music Awards — a self-proclaimed “award show for the people and by the people” — were decided by fan votes during a pretty tight voting period, which started on August 13 and ended August 23.
But despite the impressive amount of nods, she walked away 0 for 17. She was, however, mentioned by Cowboy Carter-featured artist Shaboozey during his acceptance speech, who thanked the superstar singer for “being amazing.”
