It’s Cardi B season!

The rapper is leaving no stone unturned in the promo push for debut album ‘Invasion Of Privacy’ – despite being five months pregnant.

Today she continued along the trail and dined at The Breakfast Club on Power 105.1.

Like most of her stops at the show, her interview was laced with hilarity and candidness.

She dished on her pregnancy, her post-delivery plans, proving folk wrong, “those” rumors of a Beyonce collaboration, and much much more.

Fifth Harmony‘s run was quite the roller-coaster. Indeed, while it was characterised by many a high, there were a number of notable bumps – with one of the most pronounced being the departure of Camila Cabello in 2016.

The split was the definition of acrimonious and saw both sides avoid explicit mention of the other during their respective promotional runs.

However, it seems time is a healer. Because, with 5H on hiatus and solo stardom beckoning, the ladies are expressing mutual support.

Although The Weeknd‘s latest chart-topping EP only contained six songs, two of the cuts – ‘Call Out My Name’ & ‘Try Me’ (click here to watch) – have already been given the video treatment.

Now, just a day after learning the set will lead this week’s Billboard 200, the Grammy-winning crooner has gifted another of the project’s gems the video treatment:  ‘He Was Never There.’  

Branded a “docupoem,’ the short-film gives fans a sneak peek into The Weeknd’s life behind the scenes and the flash of the lens while ‘There’ – which features French DJ Gesaffelstein (the only guest star on ‘Melancholy’) – plays in the background.

Cardi B is on absolute fire!

After dropping jaws with her rousing renditions of ‘Invasion of Privacy’ cuts ‘Be Careful,’ ‘Bodak Yellow,’ and ‘Bartier Cardi’ on last weekend’s ‘SNL’ (click here to watch), the rapstress continues her promo onslaught with an equally engaging performance on tonight’s episode of ‘The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon.’

Tapping her slew of dancers to assist, Cardi cranked out a rocking version of ‘Money Bag.’

The Weeknd stunned fans last weekend with the surprise drop of his latest project, a six-song EP titled ‘My Dear Melancholy.’  To thank him, his faithful fanbase helped hoist the release – the follow-up to 2016’s chart-topping ‘Star Boy’ – to a similar height on the Billboard 200.

As we reported here, industry analysts predicted the set would shift at least 150,000 units its first full sales tracking week.  Now, with over 7 days of sales behind it, the Grammy winner should certainly be all smiles upon not only learning ‘Melancholy’ moved more units than projected, but also that it was crowned this week’s chart champion – selling almost three times that of its nearest competitor.

BET’s HBCU-inspired drama – ‘The Quad’ – may have earned mountains of praise for its suspenseful drama and engaging storylines, but those consistent wins on the critical front were not enough to keep the network interested in renewing the show for a season 3.

Cardi B‘s faithful fans, affectionately called #BardiGang, rejoiced when the rapstress took to ‘SNL’ this past weekend to finally reveal she was indeed with child (as had been rumored for weeks).

In a performance of her soon-to-be-hit tune ‘Be Careful,’ found aboard her April 6th released debut album, ‘Invasion of Privacy,’ the Grammy nominee donned a form fitting white dress to show off her baby bump – a feat that let the news announce itself (click here to watch if you missed it).  And, while her fans flooded her social media handles with well wishes, detractors certainly were singing different tunes.

In fact, according to the rapper herself, mostly women took to her Twitter and Instagram handles to slam her for opting to get pregnant before her career could reach its height.  When quizzed about the backlash during a recent sit down with Hot 97, Cardi did not mince words about her disappointment for the ongoing criticism.
