Cardi B scorched up the summer with ‘Bongos’ and it looks like she has more heat in the cannon.

Check out Cardi B!
The Billboard chart-topper blazes the September issue of Vogue Mexico.
Serving look after lush look, the femcee stuns in the spread, which was lensed by Alique.
The spread arrives as buzz continues to intensify for Cardi’s long-awaited sophomore album.
It also lands on the heels of ‘Jealousy,’ the rapper’s collaboration with husband Offset.

Today’s From The Vault pick is lifted from Whitney Houston’s criminally-underrated ‘Just Whitney’ album, which was released 20 years ago this week.
We give you ‘Watchulookinat’.
The early 2000s were quite a storied period of time in the life of the dynamic diva. Indeed, while the window started with her dominating the worldwide charts, she magnetized the eyes of the masses for reasons that weren’t music-related… but we won’t go there today.
In 2002, Nippy made a move to silence the naysayers and flip the script with the unapologetic ‘Whatchulookinat’.
Produced by then-husband Bobby Brown and co-written by Houston, it packed a certain aggressiveness absent from her previous work and was a plea for the world to let her live her life as best as she could.
Sadly for the song – and parent album – chart success wasn’t on the cards. Indeed, the track peaked at #96 on the US Hot 100 and #75 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop tally. It fared better internationally though, scoring commendable Top 20 placings in the UK, Canada, Italy, Spain, and Portugal.
A critique of paparazzi culture of sorts, the song’s music video was directed by Kevin Bray. The action took place inside of a disposable camera used by comedian Mike Epps to capture Houston as she’s stepping out of the recording studio with friend Faith Evans.
Fun fact: Migos member Offset is featured as one of the many young background dancers surrounding Whitney.
***************
20 years on, it’s even more unclear why this tune got overlooked as it sits perfectly alongside the revered singles from the chanteuse’s previous project ‘My Love Is Your Love.’
While it wasn’t groundbreaking thematically nor sonically, the ‘Just Whitney’ album had some great moments – namely this very track, ‘One Of Those Days’, ‘Tell Me No’ and ’Try It On My Own’ – which were clearly tailored for world domination, if it wasn’t for the unfortunate climate it was released in.
Whitney, we thank you, we miss you, and we’ll always love you.

Cardi B is the latest name to pay her respects to the late Takeoff, who was tragically murdered on November 1.
The femcee, who is married to fellow Migos member Offset, has collaborated with the group multiple times on hits such as ‘Motorsport’ and ‘Type Sh*t.’ She maintained a solid relationship with the popular ensemble.
Head below for her emotional tribute message.
Cardi B is clapping back at detractors who suggest she’s not being completely forthcoming about her sexual preferences.
Having fielded criticisms for allegedly ‘queer baiting’ in the past, the GRAMMY winner is no stranger to skeptics suggesting her bisexual antics on screen are strictly performative and not reflective of her true self.
On Monday (September 19), however, the mom of two reminded her followers that although she is happily married to rapper Offset, she still identifies as a card-carrying member of the LGBTQ+ community.
See what sparked her reiterated commentary inside.
With rumors of a Migos split a constant, a new development will no doubt pour fuel on the flames of speculation.
For, moments ago it was announced that members Quavo and Takeoff have joined forces to release a new collaborative album.

Bringing along the song’s features, JoJo and Mr. Talkbox, along for the ride, the trio delivered a rocking performance onthe platform just shortly after Morton discussed the inspiration behind it with ‘GMA’ hostess Linsey Davis.
“I think all of us kinda felt that nobody was worth our peace. That’s all we had. We saw everything could be taken away so quickly. So I gotta keep my peace,” PJ said.
