Cardi B: I'm always in some drama

Perth Now28-06-2025
Cardi B is "always in some drama".
The 32-year-old rap star is set to release her long-awaited new album, Am I the Drama?, later this year, and Cardi has revealed the inspiration behind her album title.
Asked if the album name was a reference to Scarlet Envy's quote from RuPaul's Drag Race, Cardi told People: "It's just actually a mood that I feel because I feel like I'm always in some drama, and I don't understand why I'm always in some drama.
"It's like, 'Damn, am I the drama? Is it me? Like, what? Why am I always in some s***? But I do know she said it on Drag Race and it's like, 'Well s***, great minds think alike.'
"She said it before me, and I'm gonna give her, always, the props. I always give people props, and I love her, and I'm gonna be working with her more often. And, like, look who ended up winning Drag Race at the end?"
Cardi released her debut album, Invasion of Privacy, in April 2018, and the chart-topping star thinks she's "evolved" a lot since then.
Cardi - who split from her husband Offset in 2023 - said: "I dealt with a lot for seven years. It has been a journey, and I have evolved as a person and as an artist, and I cannot wait for you guys to hear that."
Cardi is one of the best-selling artists in the world, but she previously claimed to have been happier before she found fame.
The Bodak Yellow hitmaker doesn't have any money worries these days, but she's less happy than she used to be.
Cardi - who has Kulture, six, Wave, three, and a daughter, whose name has not been revealed, born in September - told CR Fashion Book magazine: "One positive thing is that, my family, whatever they want, they get. Everything that I want to buy, I can get. I don't have to worry so much about my future.
"One negative thing is that, even though I'm happy, I feel like I was a little bit happier two or three years ago when I had less money."

Record labels became hesitant after I turned 30, says Nicole Scherzinger

Nicole Scherzinger thinks record labels became hesitant to support her music after she turned 30. The 47-year-old singer enjoyed huge success as part of the Pussycat Dolls between 2003 and 2010, but Nicole claims that attitudes towards her changed after she turned 30. During an appearance on CBS Sunday Morning, Nicole explained: "I'll never forget when I turned 30 after the [Pussycat] Dolls, and the record labels were still, like, hesitant to play my music." CBS correspondent Tracy Smith, who conducted the sit-down interview, then asked: "Because you turned 30?" And Nicole replied: "Yes. I think when I was in my early 30s, they were already ageing me up in roles." The chart-topping star also noted that she was pigeonholed as "the mother" whenever she auditioned for an acting job. She said: "I was, like, 'But, I don't have children'. "It's definitely still relevant, but I think the women are changing, so things are changing. We are not allowing people to hold us back and view us in that way because we don't view ourselves, and we don't put ourselves in a box like that. "We're the ones that are changing, and because of that, the industry is changing." Meanwhile, Nicole is engaged to Thom Evans and she recently hailed her fiance as her "rock". The former sports star was by Nicole's side throughout her run in Sunset Blvd, the hit musical, in London and New York, and Nicole revealed that she really appreciates having his support. Nicole - who plays Norma Desmond in the musical - told People: "It's really important to have a partner who supports you and believes in you, like I said in my [Tony Awards acceptance] speech, when you sometimes forget to believe in yourself. "And he's been such a constant and a rock for me during this time, and he just really, he really gets me, my fiance. He's gotten me from day one." Nicole feels that Thom really "understands" how she approaches her work. The actress - who has been engaged to Thom since 2023 - shared: "I'm a bit of a perfectionist. I'm an extremely hard worker. Nothing's ever enough. And he understands that about me, and he supports me in every way that I need to be supported. And he just gets me."

Jurnee Smollett hails 'lovely' co-star Taron Egerton

Taron Egerton is a "lovely human being", according to Jurnee Smollett. The 38-year-old actress stars alongside Taron, 35, in Smoke, the new Apple TV series, and Jurnee has revealed that she loved the experience of working with him on the show. The actress - who has Hunter, eight, with Josiah Bell, her ex-husband - told People: "Taron couldn't be more different than his character and is just a lovely human being and kind and a generous team partner and buddies with Hunter, my son. "He got Hunter the cutest wrap gift. He got Hunter a hockey jersey, because Hunter loves anything sports, and we were shooting in Vancouver. He fell in love with the Vancouver Canucks." Hunter actually impressed Jurnee's co-stars with his good behaviour on set. The actress shared: "He loves it. I was just recording something yesterday, and he was with me. And he was just hanging out and everyone was so impressed that he was able to be quiet, and he said to them, 'I grew up on sets.' And it's true." Hunter is also taking a keen interest in his mom's work. She said: "He's now at an age where he's able to watch the monitor — if the scene is appropriate, obviously. And he'll be asking the writers, 'Well, what happens in episode three? Well, okay, but then what happens?' And sometimes he comes home with things that are happening or places they plan to take the character that I don't even know about." Despite this, Jurnee doesn't have any plans to push her son into an acting career. The Hollywood star explained: "I don't know that I would let him audition when he was young or do the whole hustle. I think I'd encourage him to study it, take classes and workshops and stuff like that. But my goal is to expose him to as many different fields and see what sticks. "He plays basketball and baseball, loves sports. He's excelling at math. I mean, he can do math way higher than his grade level and loves science. So, he's always making science experiments around the house with some baking soda and vinegar and different ingredients. And so, I'm really trying to just expose him to different professions and see what sticks."

Jamie Lee Curtis hails Freakier Friday co-star Lindsay Lohan

Jamie Lee Curtis learned "perseverance" from Lindsay Lohan. The 66-year-old actress has reunited with Lindsay for Freakier Friday, the sequel to their 2003 comedy movie Freaky Friday, and Jamie has taken to social media to heap praise on her co-star. Jamie's Instagram post featured a quote from Lindsay in which she praises her co-star. The quote reads: "Jamie was with me at a time in my life when I was going through a lot publicly […] I have to feel safe around people. And Jamie is one of those people for me." In response to the quote, Jamie wrote in the caption: "And SHE taught me about perseverance, solitude, style, family and Bitmoji! (sic)" Lindsay and Jamie have repeatedly praised each other throughout the Freakier Friday press tour. Jamie recently admitted that she felt "tremendous maternal care" for Lindsay after they starred together in Freaky Friday. The Hollywood star told the Guardian newspaper: "I felt tremendous maternal care for Lindsay after the first movie, and continued to feel that. "When she'd come to Los Angeles, I would see her. She and I have remained friends, and now we're sort of colleagues. I feel less maternal towards her because she's a mommy now herself and doesn't need my maternal care, and has, obviously, a mom – Dina's a terrific grandma." Jamie also insisted that Lindsay doesn't need any life advice from her. The movie star said: "I'm bossy, very bossy, but I try to mind my own business. She doesn't need my advice. She's a fully functioning, smart woman, creative person. Privately, she's asked me questions, but nothing that's more than an older friend you might ask." Lindsay has been through lots of high-profile ups and downs in her life, but she recently claimed that she's now "wiser" and more "settled" than ever before. The 39-year-old actress told People: "I'm at ease in my life because I've lived, I feel like, such a long life at such a young age. I feel wiser now and very settled. I've become such a positive person."
