Cardi B Unleashes On Jamaican Concert Promoter For Threatening To Sue Her

Alexander Cole — Wed, 11 Nov 2026 18:20:28 +0000

Cardi B has found herself at odds with BZR WKND Jamaica organizer Ryan Burke. If you remember, Cardi was supposed to perform at Kingston’s National Stadium on October 18. Unfortunately, 10 days before the show, the artist canceled and said, “Just know, it wasn’t me.”

During a CVM Television appearance on Monday, Burke stated that he was seeking legal action against Cardi B. He also alleged that Cardi was paid in full for her performance, totaling $2.5 million.

In a video on social media, Cardi was adamant that this was not true. For instance, she revealed she got $900,000 of her agreed-upon $1 million advance. By September 17, she was supposed to get money for production costs. That money allegedly never came. The rapper says she got $750,000, but only after she pulled out.

Cardi was furious in her response, and ultimately dared Burke to sue her. “Let me tell you something, baby. Please, I wish on the brightest star for you to sue me … so I could really get money out of you for real because the way you got me fucked up is insane,” Cardi said.

“It would be too late for cargo to send. All the flights are extremely expensive. The hotels are extremely expensive. You only gave me a week and a half because you were supposed to send the production money,” Cardi continued. “You were trying to make me pay the production of the whole entire show. And it’s like, why am I paying the production of a whole entire show if this is a festival? … You was trying to use the verbiage, like, ‘Oh no, this is not a festival. This is a Cardi B concert.’ No, this is not a Cardi B concert. This is a festival and I’m headlining. This is two different things.”

With Burke stating that she received all $2.5 million, Cardi B feels as though she is being lied on, and has made that crystal clear in her response. In fact, she is threatening to sue right back.

“It’s one thing for you to get online and lie about me, but baby, one [place] you cannot lie is that courtroom,” Cardi concluded. “Take me there because now you’re lying on me, which is defamation of character, and I’m going to sue you right the fuck back.”

This remains a developing story.

Ebro & Peter Rosenberg Aren’t Super Sold On Kanye West’s Comeback

Alexander Cole — Wed, 11 Nov 2026 17:30:00 +0000

Ebro & Peter Rosenberg have never shied away from saying how they really feel about something. That was especially true on one of the recent episodes of The Ebro Laura Rosenberg Show.

In a clip that is making the rounds, Ebro and Rosenberg expressed their skepticism over Kanye West’s recent Stadium Tour comeback. The conversation was sparked by Macklemore, who claims certain venues are not booking him for his Free Palestine Tour. As Ebro and Rosenberg pointed out, venues are selective, and despite his antisemitic past, Kanye West has been given a free pass.

“Listen, we know these buildings are very tight… Unless it’s Kanye, in which case he did 80,000 [seats] all weekend in Texas,” Rosenberg explained at the 57-minute mark.

“Everybody was hitting me talking about how record-breaking it was,” Ebro stated. “And I was like, ‘Guys, I’ve been involved in concerts before, I know how to make the stage set up so you can get more people in the building and make it look like you got more numbers.’”

Ebro & Peter Rosenberg On The Kanye West “Comeback”

Rosenberg got extra sarcastic about the situation. “They thought they could stop him, but he’s back,” he quipped. “People love a comeback story. Like, he was down bad, guys. He was down to his last billion! … He was selling clothes on his own; now he’s back. He had his fashion show, and so this storyline is adding extra.”

The radio host then went on to note that Ye’s apologies have not been enough. “I just believe that you need to do things besides say, ‘I’m making my comeback,’” Rosenberg concluded. Ebro then laughed about Ye meeting with a Rabbi, which Rosenberg very clearly felt was a farce.

Ye remains a hot-button issue in hip-hop, and that doesn’t appear to be changing anytime soon.

Birdman Dismissed From Lil Wayne Tour Bus Shooting Lawsuit

Alexander Cole — Wed, 11 Nov 2026 15:27:25 +0000

Alvin Lewis, Lil Wayne’s former tour bus driver at the time of the now-infamous 2015 shooting, was suing Birdman and Cash Money Records. In the lawsuit, Lewis alleged assault and battery, breach of contract, and intentional infliction of distress. According to TMZ, a judge delivered a major ruling on Tuesday, and it’s not what Lewis was hoping for.

The lawsuit named Birdman and Cash Money Records specifically. It’s a lawsuit that was filed 10 years ago, and the legal battle is still being fought. That said, the judge has decided to dismiss Birdman and Cash Money Records from the suit. The judge claims Birdman was not in the same state as the shooting, and therefore, there is not enough evidence to make a connection.

In this ruling, the judge also cited the fact that Lewis was never hit by a bullet or the shrapnel. However, Lewis maintains he suffered emotional distress and a loss of income.

Birdman’s Latest Legal Victory

Other people implicated in the lawsuit are Young Thug as well as Jimmy “PeeWee Roscoe” Winfrey, who was sentenced to 10 years in prison and 10 years’ probation for the shooting.

It is a shooting that occurred on April 26, 2015. Two tour buses were shot at numerous times on Interstate 285 near Atlanta. The shooting occurred not long after Lil Wayne’s performance at the Compound Nightclub. No one was injured in the shooting, although it was still a major story given the famous people involved and implicated.

Lewis’ lawsuit still persists despite the ruling. However, he should not expect any settlements from the likes of Birdman and his iconic Cash Money Records.

Kendrick Lamar & His Family Show Off Adorable Batman Halloween Costumes

Alexander Cole — Wed, 11 Nov 2026 15:04:35 +0000

Kendrick Lamar hasn’t been super active on social media these days. Ever since his album GNX and the ensuing tour, the artist has remained in the shadows, waiting to make his next move. It’s a smart decision, and one that he has made numerous times in the past. It always seems to work in his favor, and he has no plans to change course.

However, last night, we did get some new images of Kendrick Lamar and his family. Almost two weeks after Halloween, the rapper came through with some photos of himself, his partner Whitney Alford, and their two kids. In these images, everyone is dressed as a Batman character. Lamar’s son is Batman, his daughter is Harley Quinn, Alford is Catwoman, and Lamar is Bane.

Overall, these are adorable photos, and Kendrick certainly appeared to be enjoying himself as he embraced the villain from The Dark Knight Rises.

Over these last few weeks and months, fans have been anticipating Lamar’s next move in the music world. Some thought a new album could materialize before the end of the year, although that does not appear to be the case.

Instead, look to 2027 for new music from Kendrick Lamar. It’s still a long shot, but fans are willing to keep their hopes alive. Lamar moves in silence. GNX was a surprise album that absolutely no one saw coming. With that in mind, it would not be shocking if Kendrick did look to spring an album on everyone without a single warning.

Either way, Kendrick Lamar remains on our radar, and for hip-hop fans’ sake, we hope something comes out sooner rather than later.
