Cardi B is hot off the release of her new single alongside Megan Thee Stallion, "Bongos." The duo graced the stage of the VMAs earlier this week to perform the energetic track, and fans were living for it. It's not the first time they teamed up to drop some heat, however. Famously, they joined forces back in 2020 for their award-winning song "WAP."
Fans are loving the new song, and glad to see the two of them working together again. Meg has been on a bit of a hot girl break as of late, and supporters were thrilled to see her onstage at the VMAs. Recently, Cardi took to social media to celebrate the Texas-born performer, and share some adorable new photos. "Thank you @theestallion for everything," she captioned the sweet post. "You my heart."
In one of the photos, Cardi B smiles while holding massive bouquet of red roses, presumably gifted to her by Megan Thee Stallion. In the other photo, Meg enjoys a sweet treat with Cardi's 2-year-old son, Wave. The young boy looks overjoyed to be spending time with Meg, and to have gotten his hands on a lollipop.
Though most fans are living for their new single, not everyone has been on board. Cardi is no stranger to clapping back, and it appears as though it's for good reason. During a recent appearance on The Sprout Podcast, she revealed that being vocal about the criticism actually helps her to work through it. "I feel like every artist should do what works for them and what’s good for they mental health," she explained. "Bottling things inside and let people, like, front certain narratives of me, it will bother me inside. So, I’d rather just let it out." What do you think of Cardi B's sweet new Twitter post?

Jade Thirlwall has been learning to lean into a softer approach with her voice as she steps into life as a solo performer.
The former Little Mix member shared that she’s been carving out her own sound since the British girl group decided to go on an indefinite break in 2022.
Speaking with ELLE, Jade opened up about discovering that not every track on her debut solo album, That's Showbiz Baby, needed a full vocal showcase.
“That’s what I’ve discovered with this project, especially after Little Mix, is that I don’t always need to give a big vocal moment,” she said. “It’s actually been really nice to understand that part of my voice.”
She pointed to the group’s 2016 single Power, which has at times faced online comments about being a little too intense vocally.
“I’ll scroll through TikTok and see people talk about Power like, ‘These girlies are out here like, AHHH,’” she told the outlet. “Everyone trying to top each other with the loudest note for three minutes straight.”
Although Jade still loves that kind of performance, she said she’s learned the value of holding back.
“I still adore that energy, but it’s been kind of freeing to realise, babe, it doesn’t always need to end with this massive ad-lib run,” she shared.
She also mentioned that her song Angel of My Dreams was first recorded with a much bigger vocal take before she decided to go back and do it in a more relaxed, softer tone.
Jade officially dropped That's Showbiz Baby on 12 September. The record includes 14 tracks, among them IT Girl, Plastic Box, and the lead single Angel of My Dreams.
