Up & It's Stuck: Cardi B Set To Receive The ASCAP Voice Of The Culture Award
Her resume just keeps getting longer! Yesterday (May 21st), the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP) announced that multiplatinum, Grammy-winning superstar Cardi B will be honored with the distinguished ASCAP Voice of the Culture Award.
The Bronx native made history in 2020 as the first woman to receive the esteemed ASCAP Rhythm & Soul Songwriter of the Year Award two years in a row. This added to her multiple ASCAP accolades, including eight ASCAP Pop Music Awards and a whopping 23 ASCAP Rhythm & Soul Music Awards. Five years later, the world-renowned rapper returns to accept the ASCAP Voice of the Culture Award, which is presented to ASCAP members who have had a major influence on music and culture, to recognize their success as creators and change makers. Last year, 8x Grammy Award winner Usher was the recipient of the distinguished award.
Cardi B is among the most significant musical artists of all time, regardless of genre, gender or generation. Among her seemingly endless list of accomplishments, she stands as the highest-certified female rapper of all time on the RIAA's 'Top Artists (Digital Singles)' ranking, the female rap artist with the most RIAA diamond certifications, and the only female rapper with multiple billion-streamers on Spotify. On the platform, her chart-topping, Grammy-winning, four-times RIAA platinum-certified debut album, Invasion of Privacy , remains the most-streamed album by a female rap artist to date. All 13 tracks on Invasion of Privacy are now certified at least platinum, and the smash 2018 album also includes the history-making diamond-certified 'Bodak Yellow.'
With an extensive list of awards, nominations and high-profile honors, Cardi B's additional nods include nine total Grammy Award nominations, eight Billboard Music Awards, six Guinness World Records, five Spotify One Billion Streams Awards, six American Music Awards, four MTV Video Music Awards, three iHeartRadio Titanium Awards, six BET Awards, 14 BET Hip Hop Awards, inclusion on TIME 's 'TIME100: The 100 Most Influential People of 2018,' being named Entertainment Weekly 's 2018 'Entertainer of the Year' and Billboard 's 2020 'Woman of the Year,' along with countless other triumphs. In 2021, she was named Playboy 's first-ever Creative Director in Residence and founding member of Playboy 's creator-led platform. Since then, Cardi B has been featured on chart-topping singles including platinum-certified 'Tomorrow 2' with GloRilla and gold-certified 'Put It on the Floor' with Latto. In 2024, Cardi B came out swinging with dual releases 'Like What (Freestyle)' and 'Enough (Miami),' before collaborating on Rob 49's 'On Dat Money' and Megan Thee Stallion and GloRilla's 'Wanna Be (Remix).'
'Cardi B has left an indelible mark on the culture of hip-hop by redefining and challenging the norms for women,' said ASCAP Chairman of the Board and President Paul Williams. 'Having broken through countless barriers with her unapologetic authenticity and talent, she continues to use her voice to advocate for and inspire others, a true testament to her undeniable impact. We are proud to present Cardi B with this year's ASCAP Voice of the Culture Award.'
Cardi will be presented with the award at a private, invitation-only event celebrating ASCAP's top hip-hop, R&B and gospel songwriters on Sunday, June 8th in Los Angeles. HUGE CONGRATS TO CARDI B!

Why Patrick Mahomes thinks Taylor Swift's new album will be 'amazing'
Everyone is excited for Taylor Swift's New Heights debut on Wednesday night, including quarterback Patrick Mahomes. The Kansas City star -- and best friend and teammate of New Heights co-host Travis Kelce -- talked about the internet-breaking appearance during Chiefs training camp. Although Mahomes doesn't know anything more about the podcast than we do, even though he made sure to point out he knew before the general public. "They called me after the podcast was done," Mahomes told reporters before amending his statement slightly. "They didn't call me, they called Brittany [his wife]. I was like in the back of the FaceTime." Mahomes went on to heap praise on the 14-time Grammy winner, saying that her new album The Life Of A Showgirl is certain to be great just based on her work ethic. "Just knowing Taylor and seeing the process from just a little bit closer of how she makes the albums. It's going to be amazing because of how much work she puts into it." "What better place to announce it than New Heights podcast where I feel like she can be herself and showcase who she is," he said. "I haven't seen it yet, I've seen a little bit of the clips just like everybody else, but I'll be tuned in tonight." What time is the New Heights podcast with Taylor Swift? Jason and Travis Kelce's New Heights podcast with Taylor Swift airs Wednesday night at 7 PM ET on YouTube.

Kid Cudi says he 'hated every minute' of testifying in Diddy trial
Rapper Kid Cudi opened up for the first time about his experience testifying at the Sean 'Diddy' Combs' sex trafficking trial, telling podcast host Alex Cooper that he "hated every minute of it." Cudi, whose real name is Scott Mescudi, said he turned down testifying twice but had to take the stand after being subpoenaed. Cudi briefly dated singer Cassie Ventura in 2011 and testified about the abusive nature of her relationship with Combs. "I was just there because I had to be," he said on Wednesday's episode of the "Call Her Daddy" podcast. "I hated every minute of it." In the end, Cudi said he thought it was important that he support Ventura. "I've always just wanted to see her thrive and do well and be happy because I know she was living a nightmare," he said. "And I was just there to support her. That's what kind of gave me peace with it when I sat down in that chair." Cudi testified in May that Combs allegedly broke into his Hollywood Hills home after finding out about his relationship with Ventura. The pair started dating during a break in her relationship with Combs. He also told the court that his car had been set on fire with a Molotov cocktail in 2012, after Cudi and Ventura ended their romance. Ventura had testified that Combs had threatened her and Cudi, saying that he wanted to set Cudi's car on fire. The Grammy-winning rapper said at the trial that he was aware of Combs' alleged abusive behavior toward Ventura because the singer told him that Combs would hit and sometimes kick her. Cudi said his relationship with the singer ultimately ended because "the drama was too out of hand." Cudi told Cooper that his time dating Ventura was "crazy." "I had a hard time understanding if it was reality. I was like, am I in a movie? … It was just chaotic and intense," he said. "And, you know, I wasn't like, I was already out of my mind dealing with my own personal s--- so I was really just like, f--- it. I was just willing to walk into the fire."

Chappell Roan Wants to 'Chill for a Sec' Before Diving Into Her Next Album
Chappell Roan may have dropped 'The Subway' after soft-launching it during live shows, but her sophomore album is far from being done. Like, far enough that she told Vogue it 'doesn't exist yet.' The Grammy winner recently sat down with Zane Lowe for Apple Music, where she explained why she hasn't started writing her highly anticipated follow-up to The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess. She's been killing it on tour, headlining music fests like Primavera Sound and Reading & Leeds Festivals. But, aside from being on the road, the 'Pink Pony Club' hitmaker shared that she was displaced to Altadena during the L.A. wildfires earlier this year and has had trouble settling into a new space after living in Airbnbs for seven months. 'I want to write music whenever I feel settled. I haven't felt settled,' she admitted. 'It's been a very unsettling year and a half, and I think once I really feel calm in a new house and have a I can think about writing a song once I have a routine.' As for what that routine entails? The Midwest Princess said that it's as 'basic' as waking up in the same place, making the same meals, and wearing the same slippers. 'That's just not a thing right now, and it hasn't been for a very long time,' she said, in part. 'And then I came on this big tour. So it's been a journey do I release music within the state of everything?' While she's 'far done from touring,' Chappell shared that 'it'll definitely feel like a big breath of weight off [her] shoulders' when she wraps up her 'victory lap' of shows next April. She hopes she'll be able to 'chill for a sec and actually think about writing.' As we patiently wait for her return to the recording studio, she shared that her latest single is a 'safe segue' into her upcoming era. 'I think it's a good rung on the ladder,' she shared on the platform's New Music Daily radio show. 'Midwest Princess is her, but even though this next era, I don't really know what it is, but 'Subway' is a very safe segue to it. But I just think that 'The Giver,' 'Good Luck, Babe,' 'The Subway,' they're all kind of so different, so that's why I'm just like, 'I have no idea what the next era is.'' She also spoke to the pressures of following up her breakout debut album and why she fears fans won't be as interested in new material. 'That's the scary part of putting out new music and then people not liking it because it's not like the music you made before, and so it makes you scared to release stuff. Because you're like, 'Well, people aren't ever going to like it as much as the first one' and that's the risk you take every single time,' she explained. Chappell revealed that she hasn't even started writing CR2 during a conversation with Vogue earlier this month. 'There is no album. There is no collection of songs,' she told the publication. 'It took me five years to write the first one, and it's probably going to take at least five to write the next.' She added, 'I'm not that type of writer that can pump it out. I don't think I make good music whenever I force myself to do anything.' Check out Chappell's full conversation with Zane Lowe for Apple Music below.
