Hey everyone, welcome! Recently, Nicki Minaj teamed up with Carol G for their latest release, “Tusa”. I had the pleasure of giving the song a listen and watching the accompanying video. While the song itself is charming, it’s the video that truly captivated me. The vibrant colors, the stunning fashion, and the overall aesthetic were simply fantastic. Both Nicki and Carol looked absolutely beautiful, but I must say, Nicki’s high ponytail and jet-black hair stole the show. Her style in the video was impeccable, giving off princess vibes in a Wonderland of pastel colors, pinks, and glitter. As for the song, it’s enjoyable, though it does have a somewhat generic reggaeton sound. However, Nicki’s Spanish rap added a unique twist that I appreciated, even if I couldn’t fully understand the lyrics. Carol also delivered a solid performance. I predict that this collaboration will fare well on the charts, particularly within the Latin music scene, and I’m totally here for it!
When the song was released, Cardi B’s name somehow became entangled in it. Some individuals pondered why Cardi wasn’t featured on the track alongside Carol G. Cardi B did share and then delete a tweet on Twitter: “Because I passed on it. Now sip on that.” To me, it seemed like Cardi was throwing shade based on the tone of her tweet. Frankly, I don’t find what she said necessary at all. However, we understand the motive behind her tweet. She wanted to convey that she was the initial choice, implying Nicki was the second option. Essentially, she aimed to outshine Nicki and project herself as the more sought-after artist. This tactic mirrors what she did last year during a social media feud with Nicki. She repeatedly emphasized that she was the artist people preferred to collaborate with before considering Nicki. Regarding the songs “No Flags” and “Day Day,” they opted not to produce a music video with you, 21. And truth be told, the song wasn’t performing well. It wasn’t generating significant numbers, so why invest more time? You accuse me of hindering your opportunities, right? Yet, I’m actually aiding you in securing opportunities because that Diesel endorsement offer you received? Yeah, that offer came to me first. I had to decline it because I’m already committed to other fashion brands, beyond just Fashion Nova, as you’ll soon witness. As for the “Woman Like Me” record, yes, I turned it down because I’m focused on pop records. I can’t spread myself too thin. But it was offered to me first, then passed on to you. I’ll wait for your response. But let me make it clear with a chuckle. Ah.
Let’s discuss the situation regarding your management and the record they presented, which both you and Geezy have. You expressed dissatisfaction with it, even though they initially pitched it to you. You weren’t sold on the record, and neither were others involved. However, Geezy and I saw potential for it to climb the charts, and we were genuinely enthusiastic. Consequently, you blamed our management for offering me the record, which seems unjust.
It’s intriguing how Cardi mentioned that Nicki was approached for a song before her, but it’s worth noting that Nicki didn’t publicize it. Typically, artists don’t highlight instances where they’ve declined songs or deals because it’s not significant. However, Cardi chose to share this detail to one-up Nicki. Yet, both Little Mix and the Diesel brand’s owner refuted Cardi’s claims that they preferred to collaborate with her over Nicki. Moreover, Nicki responded on Twitter, pointing out Cardi’s tendency to discuss deals she rejected rather than her own songwriting. It’s remarkable how this tweet remains relevant, as Cardi continues to focus on the songs she declined rather than her own lyrical contributions.
Regardless, following Cardi’s tweet about passing on a Carol G record, she proceeded to tweet and then delete more tweets. Pop Crave managed to capture screenshots of all her tweets, so let’s go through them one by one. One of her tweets was in response to a tweet by blogger Tasha K. Here’s what Tasha K originally tweeted: “Dang, how can you be a Spanish rapper and have your own Spanish people call a non-Spanish-speaking rapper to rap in Spanish? Yeah, hashtag cold sore. Beat is done. She’s gonna be doing Fat Joe features forever, like Remy Ma. Sorry, sis.” Cardi responded to this tweet, blocking out Tasha’s name and the reference to cold sores, saying: “Why are you mad that I spoke up? Not too long ago, you were laughing in the comments and under posts. But now that I reply, Cardi’s the villain again? Girl, your sidekick needs to leave me alone. Why am I the one put down when others do things?” She also responded to a tweet accusing her of being obsessed, saying: “Obsessed with what? People’s sidekicks love to instigate, and you all love it. Then when I reply, it’s ‘OMG, Cardi, you said this, you did that.’ Keep that same energy when I speak up.” Another Twitter user named Beth warned Cardi not to get beaten up, to which Cardi replied: “By who? I’m 46 and 8F in New York, in case somebody wants to see me.” Believe it or not, Cardi B actually stood outside in her bathrobe waiting for someone to confront her. And someone did. I’m saying, “If you’re here, I’m standing right here. Hold on. I’ll see you, sweetie. I’m in Buffalo. Skirt, skirt. Where are you? It’s 12:30. 46th and A’s, waiting for you, honey.” Because I don’t see you, that [__]. Probably old, because you’re not here. I’m sorry, but this is hilarious. It’s some ghetto stuff. I can’t believe Cardi would actually wait for someone to show up so she could fight them. That’s funny, but also sad, you know? Very sad. She should be looking after her daughter instead of trying to fight someone. Like, what’s going on? What are the priorities here?
When Cardi confronted her detractor, they quickly backed down, confessing to being a fan and expressing no desire to engage in conflict. “Love you. We’re just two fans standing on the same corner at the same time.”
This situation is truly disheartening, and Cardi B should count her blessings she didn’t encounter anyone dangerous, as the outcome could have been dire. It’s high time for her to mature and abandon these antics because they lack charm or humor. Despite eliciting a laugh, the broader context renders them pitiful rather than amusing. Meeting a Twitter troll on a street corner clad in a bathrobe? That’s simply absurd. Cardi ought to realign her priorities. This behavior tarnishes her brand and public perception. It’s evident she’s been more conspicuous for her controversies than her music lately. With recent collaborative releases failing to leave a significant mark, like “Yes” with Fat Joe, she’s not making waves in the charts or on the airwaves. Cardi should heed these warnings and refocus her energies before her career trajectory takes a more detrimental turn.
Furthermore, she collaborated on a track named “Writing on the Wall” with French Montana and Post Malone, but it seemed to pass by without much notice. Similarly, her participation in “South of the Border” with Ed Sheeran and Camila Cabello didn’t yield much success, despite her standout verse, which I personally enjoyed. Unfortunately, none of her singles this year have made a significant impact, which raises concerns about the state of her music career. Instead of hearing about her musical endeavors, the spotlight seems to be on her controversial rants on Instagram Live, where she has made alarming statements and engaged in public disputes. This shift in focus is not favorable for her image. It’s crucial for Cardi to prioritize and redirect her efforts at this point.
She needs to steer clear of the drama and dive back into the studio, crafting some hits because, frankly, some emerging artists are posing quite the challenge. One talent I predict will soar in popularity is Doja Cat. Her latest album, “Hot Pink,” caught my attention, and I must say, it’s delightful, playful, flirtatious, and seductive, with a distinct flair. The album’s versatility is impressive, showcasing Doja Cat’s musical prowess in both vocals and rap. What’s more, her music videos are exceptionally creative, adding another layer to her artistry. Tracks like “Shine,” “Like That” featuring Gucci Mane, “Say So,” and “Juicy” featuring Tyga stand out to me, but truthfully, the entire album is fantastic from start to finish. I’d love to hear your thoughts on it in the comments below. Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe, and share the video if you enjoyed it. Thanks for tuning in, and until next time, take care!
