The baddest women in rap are linking up! On Friday, GloRilla officially released a remix of her catchy track “Wanna Be” — this time featuring both Megan Thee Stallion and Cardi B.

“Y’all been asking for this so here it is!!” Glo wrote on X Wednesday, sharing the silly cover art of cartoon versions of the three women posing in front of a chain-linked fence. “Wanna be remix featuring @theestallion and @iamcardib coming THIS FRIDAY!!”

The release comes just a few days after Cardi B joined GloRilla and Megan Thee Stallion during the New York City stop of Meg’s Hot Girl Summer tour (Glo is an opener), where the trio debuted the remix. “We had a time last night honey!!!” Cardi wrote about the moment on X.

The original “Wanna Be” featuring Megan Thee Stallion was a standout on Glo’s April album Ehhthang Ehhthang, alongside “All Dere” with Moneybagg Yo, and “Yeah Glo,” which she wrote after feeling “not the most confident.”

“It was most definitely a confidence booster for myself and me just talking to myself and boosting myself up,” GloRilla told Rolling Stone in April. “When you have such a good beat, the song just gonna come along. I feel like if you got a good beat, you could damn near say anything on the song gonna be good. But if you got a good beat and lyrics good too? That’s what makes the hit what it is.”

In Cardi B’s discography, “Wanna Be (Remix)” follows her feature on “Puntería” from Shakira’s album Las Mujeres No Lloran and her solo singles “Enough (Miami)” and “Like What (Freestyle).” Meanwhile, Megan Thee Stallion released her single “Boa” earlier this month.

Megan Thee Stallion and Glo will continue their Hot Girl Summer tour with shows in Atlanta, Miami, Dallas, Los Angeles, and Vegas.

Pierre Lapointe, Grand duke of broken souls

Many years ago, while studying theatrical performance at Cégep de Saint-Hyacinthe, Pierre Lapointe was given a peculiar exercise by his teacher. The students were asked to walk from one end of the classroom to the other while observing their peers. Based solely on their gait, posture, and gaze, they had to assign each other certain qualities, a character, or even a profession.

Lapointe remembers being told that there was something princely about him. That was not exactly the term that this young, queer student, freshly emancipated from the Outaouais region and marked by a childhood tinged with near-chronic sadness, would have instinctively chosen for himself. Though he had been unaware of his own regal qualities, he has spent more than 20 years trying to shed this image, one he admits he may have subtly cultivated in his early days.

Fact Checkers Try to Shield Trump From Project 2025’s Abortion Madness

Fact Checkers Try to Shield Trump From Project 2025’s Abortion Madness

One of the odder features of American journalism is that the columnists who hold themselves out as “fact checkers” and review claims made by politicians — calling balls, strikes, and “pinocchios” — are unusually terrible at it.

Fact checkers offered up several botched reviews of content from the Democratic National Convention, but nothing has broken their brains like Democrats’ sustained attacks on Donald Trump over Republicans’ anti-abortion agenda, which is laid out in gory detail in conservatives’ Project 2025 policy roadmap.

Cops Who Falsified Warrant Used in Breonna Taylor Raid Didn’t Cause Her Death, Judge Rules

Cops Who Falsified Warrant Used in Breonna Taylor Raid Didn’t Cause Her Death, Judge Rules

A federal judge in Kentucky ruled that two police officers accused of falsifying a warrant ahead of the deadly raid that killed Breonna Taylor were not responsible for her death, The Associated Press reports. And rather than the phony warrant, U.S. District Judge Charles Simpson said Taylor’s boyfriend, Kenneth Walker, was responsible for her death because he fired upon the police officers first — even though he had no idea they were police officers.

The ruling was handed down earlier this week in the civil rights violation case against former Louisville Police Detective Joshua Jaynes and former Sgt. Kyle Meany. The two were not present at the March 2020 raid when Taylor was killed. Instead, in 2022, Attorney General Merrick Garland accused the pair (along with another detective, Kelly Goodlett) of submitting a false affidavit to search Taylor’s home before the raid and then conspiring to create a “false cover story… to escape responsibility” for preparing the phony warrant.

Sabrina Carpenter Is Viscously Clever and Done With Love Triangles on ‘Short N’ Sweet’: 5 Takeaways

Sabrina Carpenter Is Viscously Clever and Done With Love Triangles on ‘Short N’ Sweet’: 5 Takeaways

After Sabrina Carpenter’s summer takeover with “Espresso” and “Please Please Please,” the anticipation for Short n’ Sweet was at an all-time high. On her sixth album, the pop singer keeps the surprises coming as she delivers a masterclass in clever songwriting and hops between R&B and folk-pop with ease. Carpenter writes about the frustration of modern-day romance, all the while cementing herself as a pop classic. Here’s everything we gathered from the new project.

Please Please Please Don’t Underestimate Her Humor

Carpenter gave us a glimpse of her humor on singles “Espresso” and “Please Please Please” — she’s working late because she’s a singer; ceiling fans are a pretty great invention! But no one could have guessed how downright hilarious she is on Short n’ Sweet, delivering sugary quips like “The Lord forgot my gay awakenin’” (“Slim Pickins”) and “How’s the weather in your mother’s basement?” (“Needless to Say”). She’s also adorably nerdy, fretting about grammar (“This boy doesn’t even know/The difference between ‘there,’ ‘their’ and ‘they are!’”) and getting Shakespearian (“Where art thou? Why not uponeth me?”). On “Juno,” she even takes a subject as serious as pregnancy and twists it into a charming pop culture reference for the ages: “If you love me right, then who knows?/I might let you make me Juno.” It’s official: Do not underestimate Ms. Carpenter’s pen. — A.M.
