Cardi B Addresses Gender Stereotypes in Success.
In a recent statement on her X handle, American rapper Cardi B has voiced her frustration regarding the negative stereotypes that successful women often encounter in society. Despite the hard work and remarkable achievements of women, Cardi emphasizes that their success is frequently undermined, with accolades attributed to their physical appearance or insinuations of impropriety.
Cardi’s remarks were particularly pointed as she expressed her disgust at the criticisms directed towards Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic Party’s candidate in the upcoming presidential election. She argued that Harris’s struggles are emblematic of the broader challenges faced by women in leadership roles. “Just like Kamala Harris, I have been the underdog and I have been underestimated!! My success always discredited,” Cardi stated.
She highlighted the disproportionate expectations placed on women, asserting that they must exert ten times the effort and deliver superior performance to achieve recognition. Yet, even then, their accomplishments are often dismissed with derogatory comments about their appearance or personal choices.
Cardi B’s comments resonate with many who have faced similar challenges, and her support for Harris at a recent rally in Milwaukee underscores her commitment to advocating for women in positions of power. “I can’t stand a bully!” she declared, expressing her determination to combat the unjust treatment of women in the public eye.
As the presidential election approaches, Cardi B’s words serve as a rallying cry for women everywhere to challenge stereotypes and assert their rightful place in society.
The Nigerian film industry is in mourning following the death of Kayode Peters, a renowned filmmaker and producer.

Peters, fondly known as KP, was celebrated for his contributions as a filmmaker, actor, and producer.

Subsequently, Efe claimed on X (formerly Twitter) that his Instagram account, boasting 1.8 million followers, was taken down by Wizkid FC. He later released an apology video stating that his TikTok account had also been blocked.
Efe has appealed to Wizkid and Wizkid FC for forgiveness and the restoration of his accounts.
