Cardi B opens up about needing time away from musi…

Cardi B is making it clear that pressure from fans will not make her work harder. Instead, the rapper says constant complaints about her music are pushing her toward taking a much-needed break.

During an X Spaces conversation on Tuesday, August 11, Cardi addressed fans who have criticized her release schedule and questioned why some of her songs receive music videos and more promotion than others. Rather than motivating her to return to the studio, the criticism appears to be making her want to step away. (People.com⁠)

Cardi explained that complaints have the opposite effect on her. She made it clear that she does not respond to pressure by immediately creating more music. Instead, she would rather take a step back and enjoy her personal time.

The rapper also pushed back against expectations that every song should receive the same promotional treatment. According to Cardi, different songs can have different aesthetics, visuals and promotional plans. She does not feel obligated to give every release an identical rollout simply because fans want more content.

Cardi also admitted that she has not been spending much time in the studio recently. The decision is intentional. She said she had already planned to take the summer off and wants to enjoy her life rather than allow outside expectations to control her schedule. (People.com⁠)

For Cardi, spending time with her family is also part of the break. She said that when fans are complaining, her instinct is to stay in bed and spend time with her children instead of rushing back into the studio.

The timing comes after an extremely busy period in her career. Cardi released her long-awaited second album, Am I the Drama?, in September 2025. The 23-track project debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, marking another major achievement for the rapper.

She then took the album on her first full headlining arena tour, the Little Miss Drama Tour. The 35-date North American tour began in February and concluded in April, giving Cardi another demanding stretch of performances and promotion. (People.com⁠)

Even while taking time away, Cardi has not completely disappeared from music. On July 31, she released “AH HA,” a solo single that became her 30th career top 10 on Billboard’s Hot Rap Songs chart. (People.com⁠)

For now, Cardi appears determined to enjoy her freedom and return to music when she genuinely feels ready. Her message to fans is straightforward: complaints will not speed up her creative process.

Instead, she is choosing rest, family and happiness over pressure — and she is perfectly comfortable doing things on her own timeline.

    Uzma Bukhari rejects Bilawal’s rigging claims, u…

    Punjab Information Minister Uzma Bukhari has strongly rejected Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari’s allegations of rigging in the Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) elections, saying political parties should respect the public’s mandate and pursue legal channels if they have complaints. Responding to Bilawal’s criticism of the election process, Bukhari questioned why the PPP was accusing the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) of electoral manipulation despite the AJK government and administrative machinery being under its own jurisdiction. “My question is this: the prime minister is yours, the police are yours, yet you are accusing the PML-N of rigging,” she said. She also alleged that in Nawabshah, opposition candidates contesting against the PPP often face intimidation, adding that Bilawal should address such concerns before making allegations against others. The provincial minister noted that two phases of the Azad Kashmir elections are still to be held and advised the PPP to approach the courts if it believes electoral irregularities have occurred. “If you have complaints, go to the courts and adopt the legal course,” she said. Bukhari emphasized that accepting election outcomes is a fundamental principle of democracy. She criticized the PPP for refusing to accept the results while presenting itself as a strong supporter of democratic values. She also criticized Bilawal’s speech, saying it appeared to imitate the rhetoric of other political leaders and that the language he used was inappropriate for a democratic debate. Turning her attention to governance in Sindh, Bukhari questioned the PPP’s performance during its long tenure in the province. She accused the party of failing to address Karachi’s water supply issues, alleging that the city had effectively been left in the hands of the tanker mafia. She further challenged the PPP leadership to present examples of development projects completed in Sindh, arguing that the party frequently criticizes other provinces while failing to highlight its own achievements. Comparing Punjab and Sindh, Bukhari claimed Punjab had made greater progress in public services, citing initiatives such as air ambulance services and school meal programs. She also questioned how the Sindh government had utilized its reported Rs. 1.7 trillion budget, asking officials to identify the major development projects completed with those funds. The exchange of statements has intensified political tensions following the AJK elections, with both the PPP and PML-N continuing to trade accusations over the electoral process and governance issues.

    Shah Rukh Khan joins AR Rahman’s tribute to Asha Bhosle

    Shah Rukh Khan is set to be part of AR Rahman’s upcoming tribute music video celebrating the extraordinary musical legacy of legendary singer Asha Bhosle. The announcement has created excitement among fans, as the project brings together some of the biggest names in Indian entertainment. AR Rahman confirmed Shah Rukh Khan’s involvement through a post on social media, expressing his gratitude to the Bollywood superstar for agreeing to join the special project. The composer described Khan’s participation as a meaningful addition to the tribute dedicated to Bhosle’s remarkable contribution to Indian music. The news comes several weeks after Rahman unveiled a teaser for the tribute on World Music Day in June. The project was conceived as a celebration of Bhosle’s decades-long career and her lasting influence on generations of singers, musicians and listeners. Rahman previously revealed that the tribute had been planned while Bhosle was still alive. The team had hoped that the legendary singer would be able to witness the finished project and experience the love and appreciation behind it. Her presence in the teaser has made the upcoming release particularly emotional for those involved. The teaser showed Bhosle inside a recording studio alongside Rahman and other artists. Rahman, who has also contributed his vocals to the song, could be seen helping guide the musical collaboration. The footage offered a glimpse of the project and highlighted the respect and admiration surrounding Bhosle’s artistic legacy. With Shah Rukh Khan now confirmed as part of the music video, the tribute has gained even greater attention. Khan and Rahman are both internationally recognized figures in Indian cinema, making their collaboration for a tribute to Bhosle especially significant. Bhosle died on April 12 at the age of 92 following multiple organ failure. Her passing marked the end of one of the most influential singing careers in Indian music. Over several decades, she recorded thousands of songs across numerous Indian languages and became known for her extraordinary versatility. Her repertoire included romantic songs, classical compositions, cabaret numbers and experimental music. Her ability to adapt to different musical styles helped establish her as one of the most distinctive voices in Indian playback singing. Bhosle’s final farewell was held with full state honours at Mumbai’s Shivaji Park Crematorium. Several prominent figures from the Indian film industry attended the funeral to pay their respects and honour her unforgettable contribution to music and cinema. The complete tribute song has yet to be released. The project is expected to feature Rahman, Bhosle and a group of other artists, with Shah Rukh Khan’s confirmed participation adding another major attraction. Fans will now be eagerly waiting for the full release, which promises to serve as a heartfelt celebration of Asha Bhosle’s enduring musical legacy.

    NYC Mayor urges US to enforce ICC arrest warrant a…

    NEW YORK: New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has said the city does not have the legal authority to enforce the International Criminal Court’s (ICC) arrest warrant against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, while urging the US federal government to take action if Netanyahu visits the United States. In a video statement posted on social media, Mamdani said his administration had carefully reviewed whether New York City could execute the ICC warrant under existing laws. After examining all available legal options, he concluded that municipal authorities lack the power to carry out such an arrest. “The federal government, however, does,” Mamdani said, calling on US officials to cooperate with the ICC and enforce the warrant if the opportunity arises. The New York mayor also sharply criticized Netanyahu, describing him as “a war criminal” and accusing him of being responsible for what he called “a horrific genocide against the Palestinian people.” Mamdani added that he supports the ICC’s position, saying that anyone charged by the court should face legal proceedings regardless of their office or nationality. “I agree with the ICC that Benjamin Netanyahu should be arrested and tried for his crimes,” he said. The ICC, based in The Hague, announced in 2024 that it had found reasonable grounds to believe Netanyahu bore responsibility for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity linked to Israel’s military campaign in Gaza following Hamas’ October 7, 2023 cross-border attack on Israel. The remarks come just a day after US President Donald Trump declared that Netanyahu would not face arrest if he attends the United Nations General Assembly in New York this September. Trump’s comments highlighted the gap between the US administration’s position and the ICC’s legal proceedings. Netanyahu’s office swiftly rejected Mamdani’s remarks, dismissing the ICC as a “kangaroo court” and reiterating Israel’s long-standing position that the tribunal lacks jurisdiction over Israeli officials. The issue has reignited debate over the role of international justice, the authority of the ICC and the legal obligations of countries when individuals facing international arrest warrants travel abroad. While the United States is not a member of the ICC and does not formally recognise its jurisdiction, the controversy has drawn renewed international attention as legal, diplomatic and political questions continue to surround Netanyahu’s potential foreign visits. The latest exchange underscores the deep divisions over the Gaza conflict and the growing debate about accountability, international law and the limits of local and federal authority in the United States.

    Galle Gallants storm into LPL 2026 final on Sam Harper’s fireworks

    Galle Gallants have booked their place in the Lanka Premier League 2026 final after a commanding win. They beat Colombo Kaps by six wickets in the second qualifier at the R Premadasa Stadium on Friday. Chasing a target of 177, the Gallants completed the win on the fourth ball of the 18th over. They lost just four wickets throughout the entire chase. The innings got off to a shaky start after Thomas Rogers fell for 13 in just the third over. From there, though, Sam Harper and Charith Asalanka took full control of the run chase. The pair added 126 runs together off just 85 deliveries, taking the total to 147 inside 16.3 overs. Asalanka eventually departed after scoring 59 off 42 balls, hitting four sixes and three fours along the way. Harper continued his excellent tournament form, following his wicket with a stylish half-century of his own. The Australian batter finished unbeaten on 77 off 51 balls, striking four sixes and four boundaries in the process. Despite a flurry of late wickets, skipper Dasun Shanaka and Sahan Arachchige steadied the innings from there. The pair remained unbeaten on 8 and 5 respectively, guiding their side comfortably over the line. Ravindu Fernando was the pick of the bowlers for Colombo Kaps, picking up two wickets in the match. Earlier in the day, Kaps had posted 176 in 18.5 overs after being put in to bat first. Rubin Hermann and Ravindu Fernando played key roles with the bat, rescuing their side from an early collapse. Galle Gallants will now face Jaffna Kings in the LPL 2026 final on Saturday, at the same venue.
