Cardi B Reportedly Believes Cops Targeted Offset

Cardi B reportedly believes the Hip Hop cops targeted Offset, leading to his recent arrest and gun possession charges in Georgia.

A source close to Cardi told TMZ she believes her husband was targeted because he’s a rapper. The sentiment was also shared by the Migos rhymer’s lawyer, who says Offset was pulled over and subsequently arrested for being a rich and successful Hip Hop artist.

Cardi is also taking the ride-or-die route seriously, reportedly saying she’ll stick by Offset’s side even if he ends up going to prison on the charges.

I love you my sweetheart @offsetyrn ❤️❤️Thank you ?I feel very special . #justbecause

Offset was arrested late last week just outside of Atlanta after allegedly crossing a double yellow line with his vehicle. Police say they found three guns, marijuana, and $107,000 in the Porsche the rapper was driving.

He has since been released on bail, but was charged with possession of a firearm by a felon, possession of a weapon during a crime, possession of marijuana (one ounce or less), and an improper lane change.

Cardi reportedly said the guns weren’t Offset’s since he doesn’t own any.

Offset’s arrest came mere days after the birth of his daughter with Cardi, Kulture Kiari Cephus.

Del The Funky Homosapien Released From Denmark Hospital

Denmark – Del The Funky Homosapien was hospitalized in Denmark earlier this month. The Hieroglyphics luminary fell off of a stage while performing with the Gorillaz at the 2018 Roskilde Festival.

Nearly three weeks later, Del — who dropped Gate 13 with Bay Area producer Amp Live back in April — is still stuck in Denmark but was finally able to check out of the hospital.

“I’m doing ok,” he tells HipHopDX. “I’m still in a lot of pain. I’m on pain meds. I fractured seven ribs and punctured my lung. I had to have surgery. I had a tube in my lung pumping the blood and air out.

“I also had a epidural in my back to inject morphine directly to my bloodstream. After about five days, they let me out the hospital. I’m in Denmark until I’m cleared for flight. Will be here for maybe about another week.”

Shortly after the incident, Del provided a couple of updates via Instagram and assured everybody he’d be back to Roskilde. He also referred to the medical treatment he was receiving in Denmark as “outstanding.”

Revisit those posts below. 

Thank you all for the love! I’m doing alright but will be in the hospital for a bit, the care here is outstanding though. Much love to @gorillaz for having me out and I’ll be back soon yall??

Jay Electronica Lip-Syncs Drake’s "Feel No Ways" To An Unamused Erykah Badu

Jay Electronica, apparently blissfully unaware of the “In My Feelings” challenge, has taken to social media to lip-synch Drake’s 2016 song “Feel No Ways” to one Erykah Badu.

Miss Badu, needless to say, is not impressed.

The video marked the enigmatic rapper’s first post to IG since March.

Still, fans continue to wait for Electronica’s debut album, which he said in a 2017 interview with Billboard would drop “when it’s finished.”

Electronica’s last solo release was “Letters To Falon” in June 2017, although a song with Justin Bieber popped up on Poo Bear’s Bearthday Music project this past April.
