As spotted by All Hip Hop, Cardi B recently revealed on X that she’s currently looking to book a second leg for the tour this fall. While speaking on Spaces, she said that she’s currently fielding different offers for the tour after the first leg, which she explained provide concrete proof of how much she can gross.

“I feel like I showed how much money I could make and I could gross,” she said, adding that plenty of different promoters are hoping to secure a deal with her. “I just want to make sure I make the best decision, and the best money, and the best promotions.”

How Much Did Cardi B Spend On Her Tour? 

And that’s certainly something to expect after the grandiose production value of her first tour. She said that the tour grossed $70 million, but after expenses, including cuts to management and her agency from her $20 million advance, that number was much different. She revealed that production was $35 million, plus the money she had to spend to cover unexpected costs, such as penalties for tardiness.

“How much did I spend on production? For tour, no lie, about $35 million. No lie. How many people besides the dancers ‘cause y’all only see dancers?.. We had like about 26 buses. So, that’s just that $35 million was just what we spent in the beginning. During the tour, you’re still spending money,” she added.

Are you excited to see Cardi B live this fall? Sound off in the comments below.

However, that is not to say The Fall-Off is without its merits. It is a project that has proven to be a huge success for Cole, selling 290K units in the first week. Fans continue to go back to it, although with ICEMAN finally out, the discourse has been relentless.

Yesterday, we reported that Drake’s three new albums hit the Billboard 200. ICEMAN sold over 465K units in the first week, while the other two projects, HABIBTI and MAID OF HONOUR, sold in the 120K range. All three are in the top three this week, which is a huge achievement.

Having said that, Drake’s triple release ultimately secured a new record for Cole. Now, the North Carolina MC is the only rapper in history to have sold 200K units and debut at number one with every single album.

J. Cole On Top

Had Drake only released ICEMAN, then he and Cole would have held that record together. However, the existence of two other albums ultimately took Drizzy out of contention for the record. Regardless, this is extremely impressive, and it just goes to show what a sales darling Cole has been throughout his career.

Cole and Drake may not be on speaking terms right now, but perhaps that could change in due time. As the saying goes, time heals all wounds. Especially true when you consider how Cole never dissed Drake, only retreated.

We are excited to see what both artists are able to achieve as they continue to age and evolve as artists.

According to Jim Jones, there’s really one way to settle the score: a Verzuz battle. During Memorial Day weekend, Jones shared a post on Instagram where he continued to place the blame on Cam’ron for Dipset’s loss against The LOX five years ago. 

“Tell ya mans I wanna do a verse against him since he made us lose our last verses at the Apollo yal call Swizz lol Happy Memorial Day lol,” he posted on his Instagram page.

He elaborated further in the caption. “Let’s settle this once n for all,” he wrote. “We can do it right in Harlem we know u aint been here in a while but they still love u.”

So far, no word from Cam’ron on whether he wants to get involved in any sort of musical battle but we could imagine that he probably isn’t too interested. The two rappers have been feuding openly for over a year, and Cam’s efforts in media, with the success of shows like It Is What It Is, have clearly occupied his time more than any sort of rap battle.

Jim Jones Wants To Battle Cam’ron, But Does He Have The Catalog?

Frankly, Jim Jones has been adamant about doing Verzuz since its inception. He’s previously explained how The LOX arrived far more prepared than Dipset, while suggesting that he was far more enthusiastic about it than Cam’ron. The reality is that Jim Jones’ catalog has often been underrated by the masses, yet with plenty of mixtape cuts that have remained fixtures in his career, we shouldn’t doubt Capo. Who do you think is winning a Verzuz battle? Sound off in the comments below.

According to Billboard, this is a huge milestone for Drake, as it is officially his 14th number-one hit. This has allowed him to surpass Michael Jackson for the most number-one hits from a male solo artist.

Furthermore, it should be mentioned that Drake has 42 tracks on the charts this week. This is officially a record for most simultaneous debuts on the Hot 100. The previous record was occupied by Morgan Wallen, who once had 37 songs on the charts at one time.

Drake Secures His 14th Number One

If you are curious about the other 13 Drake songs that have gone number one, you can find them below. As you will notice, most of Drake’s number ones are from 2016 onward. This makes a lot of sense as 2016 is around the time he started tripling down on the pop records.

Every Drake Song To Go Number One:

• “Janice STFU”
• “First Person Shooter,” feat. J. Cole
• “Slime You Out,” feat. SZA
• “Jimmy Cooks,” feat. 21 Savage
• “Wait for U,” Future feat. Drake & Tems
• “Way 2 Sexy,” feat. Future & Young Thug
• “What’s Next”
• “Toosie Slide”
• “In My Feelings”
• “Nice for What”
• “God’s Plan”
• “One Dance,” feat. WizKid & Kyla
• “Work,” feat. Drake
• “What’s My Name?,” Rihanna feat. Drake

Ultimately, these are huge milestones for Drake and further proof that ICEMAN has been a major success in all senses of the word. Only time will tell which songs continue to chart and dominate the Top 10.

Evidently, things are slowly changing these days as he prepares to take his new album BULLY to venues across Europe. And while some countries refused to let him enter, places like Albania and the Netherlands are gearing up to see the Chicago artist make his triumphant return.

But where does that put his shows in the U.S.? Will BULLY see a North American tour? Well, the demand certainly isn’t lost. His sold-out shows at the SoFi Stadium in California proved that people have anticipated his live shows, and it appears that his next stop will be in Florida. According to The Tampa Bay Times, Ye will be returning to Tampa for the first time in ten years, since the Saint Pablo tour at the former Amalie Arena. This time, Ye will perform at Raymond James Stadium on June 26th, 2026.

If you know anything about these streams, you would know that he is constantly making women feel uncomfortable. He gets into their personal space, and then he guilts them whenever they reject his advances. These clips consistently go viral on social media, and some feel as though Broner is crying for help.

Overall, these streams have been in collaboration with Deen The Great, who has also been heavily criticized for his on-stream behavior. Recently, however, the two hosted Sexyy Red, and as you can imagine, there were all sorts of awkward clips emanating from the stream.

For instance, last night, Broner attempted to shoot his shot with Sexyy Red, who clearly had more interest in Deen. This subsequently led to a moment in which Broner called this out, and Sexyy Red could nothing but just look on in silence.

Adrien Broner Back On Stream

There were other instances of Broner attempting to put the moves on Sexyy Red, but to no avail. This is not Sexyy Red’s first time when it comes to streaming with these kinds of creators, so she knows the drill and kept her composure quite nicely.

Ultimately, if you are a fan of Adrien Broner, you can’t help but feel like this is a sad fall from grace. At one time, some thought he could be the next Floyd Mayweather. Instead, his career stalled out with some bad losses.

Not to mention, his behavior and appearance over the past few years have been a cause for concern. His recent streams with Deen The Great make you wonder whether or not he is in the proper headspace to be on stream at all.

Whatever the case may be, there is no doubt that Mamdani is one of the most scrutinized men in all of America. Now, Peter Rosenberg is contributing to that. On The Ebro Laura Rosenberg Show, Rosenberg displayed his displeasure with the Mayor and his team.

In a lengthy rant, he revealed that Mayor Mamdani had promised to do their show. However, he hasn’t made himself available, and there has been a game of telephone to try to get him on.

Peter Rosenberg Upset With Zohran Mamdani’s Team

In the clip above, Rosenberg describes how the Mamdani team has had numerous demands for their interview. For instance, they wanted questions ahead of time. Furthermore, they wanted the hosts to show up an hour early, which also involved moving dates and times around.

The interview has yet to be conducted, and Rosenberg is at his wits’ end about it. With Mamdani making appearances at New York Knicks games, Rosenberg feels as though some time could be carved out for an appearance on the show.

Moreover, the New York radio host notes that they were fired from the Hot97 morning show soon after the infamous interview with Andrew Cuomo. The implication here is that Ebro, Laura, and Rosenberg had a hand in electing Mamdani, all while sacrificing themselves and their jobs.

Whether or not Mamdani comes on the show in light of this rant remains to be seen. Whatever the case may be, Rosenberg’s point has been made.

Now that ICEMAN, HABIBTI, and MAID OF HONOUR are dominating the charts, Ak is looking to take a victory lap of sorts. He has been streaming a whole lot as of late, and as per usual, Kendrick Lamar has been a hot topic of conversation.

In a recent clip posted by his alternate account on X, Ak claims that street rappers have been telling him that Lamar killed rap. How? Well, his moralizing against Drake in the beef has created discourse that is beginning to infiltrate every single discussion about every single artist.

DJ Akademiks On Kendrick Lamar

Akademiks argues that previously, no one questioned whether or not the artists they listened to were good people. In fact, he argues that fans wanted to listen to artists with legal troubles and checkered pasts. However, following the beef, Kendrick has made it so that some fans are constantly taking a stand against those they deem morally reprehensible.

Ultimately, one has to wonder which artists are telling Ak these things. You also have to wonder how genuine of a take this take is, given Ak’s proximity to Drake.

Discussing the morality of certain artists is not a new thing. During the rise of #MeToo, plenty of artists were debated and subsequently denounced for past behaviors. To this day, the reverberations from the movement are being felt. It’s hardly a new thing, and, interestingly, Ak would attribute this to K. Dot and not just society in general.

Cardi B, specifically, had several categories on lock. In the Best Hip-Hop Album category, Cardi took the win for Am I The Drama? In this category, she went up against Don Toliver’s OCTANE, Gunna’s The Last Wun, Playboi Carti’s MUSIC, and NBA Youngboy’s MASA.

However, the team is finally experiencing some success. On Monday night, they blew out the Cleveland Cavaliers to secure their spot in the NBA Finals. Now, they await the winner of the series between the San Antonio Spurs and the Oklahoma City Thunder.

You can imagine just how happy Fat Joe is about all of this. Unfortunately, according to the man himself, he has not been treated well by the Cavs franchise. According to the famous artist, he was blocked from purchasing courtside seats for Games 3 and 4.

Fat Joe On The Cavaliers

At Madison Square Garden, Fat Joe is a mainstay of celebrity row. This usually contains other famous celebrities like Spike Lee, Timothee Chalamet, and even Ben Stiller. Many of these famous Knicks fans were courtside in Cleveland. However, Fat Joe got blocked. In his words, the Cavs did this because he is a Knicks superfan.

Ultimately, this isn’t extremely surprising. It would be a bad look for the Cavaliers if all of their courtside seats were occupied by Knicks fans. It would make it seem as though the team doesn’t have a strong fanbase of its own.

With that being said, the NBA Finals will begin next week, and we imagine Fat Joe will be courtside for Games 3 and 4, as the Knicks are guaranteed to be the lower seed in the series.
