American rapper Cardi B has shrugged off the impact of the TikTok ban in the United States,l.

The ban, which came into effect on January 19, followed the failure of TikTok’s Chinese owners to comply with a U.S. law enacted by President Joe Biden in April 2024, mandating the platform’s sale.

A social media user with the X handle @1lex took a jab at Cardi B and other artists, suggesting that they would struggle without TikTok. The post read, “Now, all the female TikTok rappers gotta find real jobs. You first, @imcardib.”

Cardi B fired back with confidence , “Babe, I’m getting a $7 million offer to do my own vitamins. I can retire you from your flipping burger job by tomorrow. Thank me though; I’ve been helping you get your $8.99 Twitter check.”

Nigerian singer-songwriter Temilade Openiyi, known professionally as Tems, is on the cusp of making history at the 67th Annual Grammy Awards, scheduled for February 2, 2025, at Los Angeles’ Crypto.com Arena. With three nominations, she stands to become the first African artist to win multiple Grammys in a single night.

Tems’ nominations include Best African Music Performance for “Love Me, Jeje,” Best Global Music Album for her debut studio album “Born in the Wild,” and Best R&B Song for “Burning.” “Love Me Jeje” is a contemporary rendition of Seyi Sodimu’s 1997 classic, showcasing Tems’ ability to blend traditional African sounds with modern R&B.

Billboard predicts that Tems will secure victories in both the Best African Music Performance and Best Global Music Album categories. In the former, she faces competition from fellow Nigerian artists Yemi Alade (“Tomorrow”), Asake & Wizkid (“MMS”), Chris Brown featuring Davido & Lojay (“Sensational”), and Burna Boy (“Higher”).

Notably, “Sensational” by Chris Brown, featuring Davido and Lojay, has been highlighted as a “Look Out For” track by Billboard, while Burna Boy’s “Higher” is also considered a strong contender.

In the Best Global Music Album category, Tems’ “Born in the Wild” is up against “Alkebulan II” by Matt B featuring the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, “Paisajes” by Ciro Hurtado, “Heis” by Rema, and “Historias De Un Flamenco” by Antonio Rey.

Selena Gomez has responded to calls for her deportation after she got emotional over recent U.S. immigration raids under Trump’s administration.

The nationwide raids, carried out by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) alongside other agencies, led to the arrest of over 1,100 undocumented immigrants.

Gomez, who has Mexican roots, shared her thoughts in a now-deleted Instagram video, visibly shaken by the situation. Fighting back tears, the 32-year-old singer and actress expressed deep sorrow for those affected, especially the children.

“I’m so sorry. All my people are getting attacked. The children, I don’t understand. I wish I could do something. I will try everything, I promise,” she said.

Her emotional response didn’t sit well with former U.S. Senate candidate Sam Parker, who took to social media to suggest she should be deported.

Parker accused Gomez of prioritizing undocumented immigrants over America, claiming she is the descendant of Mexicans who gained citizenship through the 1987 amnesty program.

“She has an entitlement attitude toward America, like her illegal parents. Maybe Selena should be deported, too?” he wrote.

Gomez responded to Parker’s remarks in a way that showed she wasn’t fazed. Sharing a post on her Instagram story, she simply wrote, “Oh Mr. Parker, Mr. Parker. Thanks for the laugh and the threat.”
