Furman described ‘Goodbye Small Head’ as being “vivid with overwhelm”, adding: “They’re not about someone going off the rails, they are inside that person’s heart. The songwriting here is a revision to William Wordsworth’s famous proclamation that ‘Poetry is the spontaneous overow of powerful feelings: it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquillity’. I can agree with that, except for the tranquillity part.”

Furman continued: “This poetry, my poetry, arrived in the midst of the storm. It was written as I teetered toward the edge. (I did the edits once I was safe again).”

Cardi B is feeling confident about the New York Knicks' chances in the 2026 NBA Finals. While attending Game 3 against the San Antonio Spurs on Monday night, the rapper gave a funny answer when Entertainment Tonight asked what a Knicks championship would mean for New York City.

“It’s gonna mean the rats will disappear, trees will start growing, potholes will be filled,” she joked while speaking with the outlet. “Rains of glitter coming down, the Statue of Liberty is going to finally walk.”

“It’s going to mean everything,” she continued. “Crimes will be solved!”

Naturally, the Bronx star wrapped up her comments by saying, “Go Knicks!”

The New York squad ultimately fell 115 to 111 on Monday evening, though they still hold a 2 to 1 advantage in the series. Two more victories would secure the franchise’s first NBA title since 1973. The Knicks also have not reached the Finals since 1999. Game 4 is scheduled for Wednesday night at Madison Square Garden.

Cardi has long been a devoted Knicks supporter and has been spotted courtside at several games over the years. During Game 3, she entertained fans with a halftime performance before taking in the action from courtside alongside her 4 year old son, Wave.

She has never been shy about celebrating her love for New York City. Earlier this year, Cardi joined Mayor Zohran Mamdani to help introduce a music competition tied to his 2 K program, which provides free childcare for New Yorkers. “Can you believe that?! We have a 34 year old mayor! I feel like I’m a kid, and you’re, like, running New York!” she said to the mayor in a video promoting the contest.
