Cardi B Earns Her Biggest Hit In Years As She Preps Her New Album
For years, Cardi B has been teasing her sophomore album and promoting it with single after single. The hip-hop superstar has scored multiple huge chart wins with both her own tracks and a variety of collaborations, but for quite a while, there was no word about a full-length.
Now, the rapper has finally revealed that Am I the Drama? is set to arrive in mid-September, more than seven years after her debut full-length Invasion of Privacy took over the world. Cardi's latest single 'Outside' brings her back to the charts in the United Kingdom and earns the rapper the biggest hit she has managed in that nation in years.
'Outside' Debuts on Four U.K. Charts
'Outside' debuts on four rankings in the U.K. this week, earning its loftiest starting point on the Official Hip-Hop and R&B Singles chart. On that tally, Cardi launches her latest tune at No. 15, scoring the third-highest-ranking debut.
This frame, the Official Hip-Hop and R&B Singles list is dominated by 'Victory Lab,' a collaboration between Fred Again, Skepta, and Plaqueboymax, which opens in first place. Central Cee and Sexyy Red start 'Guilt Trippin'' at No. 8.
Cardi B Charts Higher Than She Has in Years
Despite being one of the most successful hip-hop musicians of the last decade or so, Cardi has not appeared as high as No. 15 on the Official Hip-Hop and R&B Singles chart for several years. The last time she lifted to a higher spot was in June 2021.
Four years ago, her smash 'Up' – which is set to be featured on Am I the Drama? – climbed as high as No. 7 and spent months living above the No. 15 position where 'Outside' begins its journey.
'Outside' Reaches Multiple Tallies
'Outside' also launches inside the top 20 on both the Official Singles Downloads and Official Singles Sales charts, where it enters at Nos. 17 and 20, respectively. It's only been a little more than a year since Cardi appeared in a more impressive position, as her most recent single 'Enough (Miami)' just narrowly beat where 'Outside' starts this week.
Cardi B's Huge Collection of Hit Songs
Cardi earns her twenty-sixth placement on the main ranking of the most consumed songs in the U.K. this week, where 'Outside' debuts at No. 72. 'Enough (Miami)' only spent one week at No. 85, while her previous track 'Bongos,' one of several collaborations with Megan Thee Stallion, rose all the way to No. 35 and still ranks as her most recent top 40 hit, even though it was released in September 2023.

A Work Friendship Evolves Into Love
When Lauren Nicole Noblitt began working as a hostess at Finka Table & Tap, a West Miami, Fla., restaurant owned by the chef Eileen Frances Andrade, she had never dated a woman. She identified as straight, although she admitted to being more attracted to women. She said she first saw her new boss sitting at the bar in October 2017 and was blown away. 'I couldn't believe Eileen was the owner because she looked super cool,' she said. Ms. Andrade, who came out in 2009, didn't look at Ms. Noblitt romantically because she was an employee. 'We really liked each other, but always socialized with other people and never acted on anything,' Ms. Andrade, 36, said. She is also the chef-owner of Amelia's 1931, a classic Latin restaurant with Asian influences in West Miami. Their solid friendship continued for about a year even after Ms. Noblitt, 27, switched to working as a hostess and server at Amelia's 1931. But things changed between them at Ms. Noblitt's 21st birthday party in September 2018. 'I ended up spending the night with Eileen,' Ms. Noblitt said. The next morning, the women were 'hung over' and craved a hearty meal. They felt bold enough to dine out publicly, feasting on tacos at Antojitos, a Mexican restaurant in Miami. 'Our hopes of keeping this attraction low-key until we were ready to share were thwarted when a co-worker walked in and busted us,' Ms. Andrade said. Ms. Noblitt had been attracted to Ms. Andrade for months, but wasn't quite ready to act on it. 'I was very Christian and wanted to marry a man, have a white picket fence, and a typical American marriage,' Ms. Noblitt said. 'But I accepted being gay after my slow romantic progression with Eileen.' Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

All the Baby Necessities This Editor Can't Live Without
"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links." Most baby gear is an eyesore. It's covered in garish prints and cartoonish graphics that only a five-year-old could love. Think primary-colored anime creatures dancing across a bouncer, or clunky UFO-shaped baby rockers bedecked in cheap, plastic characters. On the flip side, the internet's obsession with the so-called 'sad beige nursery'—a sea of eggshells, oat milks, and taupes—feels underwhelmingly drab and has sparked fears we're raising kids who won't know red from green. It's 2025. We can do better than frog-themed diaper bags. But here's the good news for design-conscious parents-to-be: A wave of brands is bringing thoughtful aesthetics to baby gear. Take the Nuna Mixx BMW stroller, a sleek ride that puts some sports cars to shame. Or Dagne Dover's neoprene diaper bag in a sophisticated dusty mauve—it looks just as good slung over your shoulder at brunch. And then there's Design Dua's bassinet, a gorgeous baby receptacle that belongs in a design magazine, not just the nursery. These pieces are beautifully made, practical, and actually complement my home. After five years of parenting, I've road-tested more baby products than a mom influencer, through middle-of-the-night blowouts, road trips, and everything in between. Now, with baby number two on the way, I'm diving back in and discovering even more gems. No matter your taste, these elevated essentials prove that great design and real-life parenting can absolutely go hand in hand. Here are the stylish, functional baby items I swear for a stroller can feel almost as momentous as buying a car. With top models approaching the $1,000 mark, it's a serious investment—not just financially, but emotionally, too. You'll log serious miles with this thing, and take it everywhere, so trust me: quality matters. As a New Yorker who lives life on the go (read: on foot, with coffee in hand), I get a little sentimental when I talk about my Nuna Mixx. It's been my ride-or-die through the chaos—near-missed doctor's appointments, marathon grocery runs, even an international trip to Brazil. It's sleek, sturdy, and has never let me down. From the generous underseat storage to the ultra-comfy, ergonomic seat and the UPF 50+ water-repellent canopy (a lifesaver in all kinds of weather), it nails both form and function. And, let's be honest—it looks good doing it. Which as why as I prep for baby number two, Nuna's new collaboration with BMW feels like the ultimate push present: a perfect fusion of style, performance, and luxury. Because if I'm going to be pushing a stroller for the next few years, I might as well be doing it in something that turns heads. $1000.00 at nunababyWelcoming a tiny human into your life often comes with a full-blown identity shift. Between sleepless nights and jam-packed weekends, it's easy to lose sight of the polished, career-driven woman who once had an hour to get ready and actually wore heels to events. For me, holding onto a sense of style—however small—became essential. And sometimes, that started with the right bag. Enter: Dagne Dover's Indi Neoprene Diaper Backpack. It checks every box a diaper bag should—lightweight, water-resistant, packed with pockets, and undeniably stylish. Inside, there's an air mesh pouch, a bottle holder, and a stretchy key leash—perfect for keeping essentials like diapers, wipes, and binkies exactly where you need them, especially in those chaotic, grab-and-go moments. One of its most thoughtful design elements? The expandable sides. A quick unsnap adds extra space without sacrificing the bag's sleek silhouette. And when it comes to cleaning, it couldn't be easier. A quick wipe keeps it tidy day-to-day, and for bigger messes, it's machine washable—an absolute must for any parent. And for those still gearing up for birth, the Landon Neoprene Carryall Bag makes for the perfect hospital bag. $175.00 at all in on Mushie's Scandinavian-inspired aesthetic—minimalist design meets soft, muted tones—and their Silicone Pacifier Holder Case is a perfect reflection of that look. I chose it in mauve, and when clipped to my dusty rose Dagne Dover bag, it gives my diaper setup a chic, coordinated look. The case fits up to three small pacifiers, which makes it easy to keep extras ready to go. While a few reviews mention that the silicone picks up lint or pet hair, I've had no trouble wiping it clean in a pinch. Stylish and practical? I'll take it. $13.99 at are some baby items you splurge on simply because they spark joy—and for me, that was this bassinet. I already had a bedside option, but I couldn't resist this handwoven elephant-grass Moses basket. I pictured carrying my child from room to room during nap time, and honestly, that vision delivered. Or you can pair it with the rocking stand for bedside use. It's both lightweight and sturdy, with rich leather handles and beautiful craftsmanship. The SnuggleMe lounger fits perfectly inside. And when we're done using it for sleep, I'll repurpose it for toy or blanket storage. Timeless. $2025.00 at was on the hunt for something chic yet practical to line my changing table basket—and this cream-colored vegan leather changing pad checked every box. The soft, padded design looks luxe and minimalist, but it's the functionality that won me over. The waterproof surface wipes clean in seconds (a true blessing during messy diaper changes), and while it's compact enough to toss in a diaper bag, it still feels sturdy and well-made. It's held up beautifully through daily use, and I love how it elevates the whole changing station. It's everything I knew I needed. $52.00 at the Moonkie site is dangerous for my wallet. It's a wonderland of beautiful, desaturated baby items that will make you rethink everything you own. My latest obsession? The Moonkie beach toy set, which arrived beautifully packaged in a gorgeous kid-sized cardboard trunk that feels like its own product. Inside, there's a display of muted-hued beach toys that offer a chic alternative to typical bright beach toys. I love that you can personalize the bucket as playground politics can get rough among toddlers (I've lost so many toys in public spaces). Easy to handle for little hands, this set promises hours of fun at the beach or sandbox—and I'm constantly getting the "Where did you get that?" question from fellow moms. $64.99 at bought a handful of photo books over the years, but the Artifact Uprising Smoke Gold Baby Book stands out as my absolute favorite. The binder-style cover is wrapped in textured fabric with elegant gold foil detailing—it feels like something meant to last. Inside, the guided prompts are deeply sentimental without being cheesy, while the minimalist photo layouts practically beg to be filled with Polaroids and first-day scribbles. There's even space for personal notes, letters to your child, and milestone reflections that feel cinematic in retrospect. I imagine my daughter, years from now, sitting cross-legged with this book in her lap, discovering who she was and how fiercely she was loved from the very beginning. It's that kind of gift—the kind that becomes part of the story. $67.15 at I had my first baby, my one regret was never investing in a bouncer—those precious, undisturbed showers were few and far between. So with my second, I didn't hesitate. The BabyBjörn Bouncer Bliss went straight into my cart. I chose the sand gray version in the woven petal quilt fabric (a bit different than the one here, though they're all there at this link), and it's just as beautiful as it is functional. The soft, neutral tone fits seamlessly into our home, and I love how it gently bounces with my baby's own movements—no batteries, no noise, no overstimulation. It folds completely flat, which means it tucks neatly under the couch when not in use, and the washable cover is a total lifesaver. It's sleek, simple, and makes my life easier. $259.99 at a New Yorker, investing in an item that doesn't fold, collapse, or blow up means it has to be worth the space it takes up. But I simply couldn't help myself with the Lalo Bath Tub. It's sleek, modern, and comes with an infant insert and contoured foam back that cradles baby's head and body. People online are saying they use it as a sensory bin once the baby outgrows it. I'm obsessed. $59.99 at no shortage of tiny baby towels online, but I like to think long-term—so I went with Crate & Barrel's toddler-size hooded towel instead. My two non-negotiables were softness and durability, and this one delivers on both. The organic cotton feels gentle on my kids' skin, and the reinforced edges give me confidence they'll hold up through countless washes (and only get softer with time). I ordered one for my son and one for my daughter, and they look absolutely adorable together, each with a tassel hood in their own signature color. $30.80 at I could take just one thing to a remote island during postpartum, it would be the Snuggle Me Organic Infant Lounger. In those early weeks, it sat snugly atop our bed or in the bassinet, giving me peace of mind that baby won't roll over when I look away. It was the very first thing I bought when I found out I was pregnant with our second. During the day, I'd move it into the bassinet, where baby would nestle right into its cozy, hugging design. I've used it for tummy time, supervised naps, and as a safe spot while I get ready in the morning. That said, it's not meant for unsupervised sleep, so I always make sure I'm nearby whenever baby's in it. This go-around, I also opted to get the brand's gorgeous crescent-shaped breastfeeding pillow. $129.99 at been a subscriber to the Lovevery Play Kits since my little one was an infant—all the way through age five. Each box arrives every few months with 5–7 thoughtfully designed toys, a book, and a parent play guide—all tailored to your child's developmental stage. Inspired by Montessori principles, the toys are built to nurture real-life skills like shoe tying, stacking, and early literacy. What I appreciate most is what they don't include: no flashing lights, no noise, no overstimulation. Instead, they're made from quality materials like wood and organic cotton, and designed to be open-ended, durable, and genuinely engaging. Many of ours have survived enthusiastic toddler testing—including impromptu bathtub dunkings. Yes, the kits are an investment ($80–$120 each), but in my experience, they've been worth every penny. $2025.00 at a boy mom for five years, finding out I was having a girl felt like permission to fully embrace the feminine. I went all in on ruffles, bows, and soft hues—so when I spotted this pink matte vegan leather changing mat with delicate scalloped edges, I knew it was the perfect finishing touch for our nursery. The size is just right: roomy enough at 16 x 30 inches for comfortable diaper changes, yet slim and foldable for tossing into a diaper bag. I loved it so much, I bought multiples—one for home, one for the car, and one for travel. $26.00 at already a fan of Hatch products, but the Rest 2nd Gen has been especially essential for sleep when baby comes. It's a customizable nightlight, white-noise machine, and slow-to-wake clock all in one—no more stumbling into furniture in a pitch-dark nursery. Best of all, I can control everything from the app, which makes middle-of-the-night tweaks effortless. Note: some of the more advanced features do require a subscription. $59.99 at admit it—I was initially drawn to this gorgeous little sound machine (yes, another Hatch) after seeing it clipped to baby carriers and diaper bags all over Instagram. But it turns out it's not just for show. The Rest Go is compact, rechargeable, and incredibly easy to use, with ten soothing sounds and zero fuss. It's quickly become my go-to for naps on the move and bedtime while traveling. $39.99 at seems to rave about the Snoo—a smart bassinet that rocks your baby to sleep with motion and white noise. But I preferred a more analog approach, especially after hearing from other moms that their babies became dependent on the default rocking. I leaned fully into aesthetics and chose the Babyletto x Gathre Capsule Bassinet instead. At $400, it felt like a great value. The vegan leather is easy to wipe clean, and the rounded wood legs add a modern, sculptural touch. While it's heavier than most bassinets, I don't plan to move it around—and I actually appreciate how solid it feels. Bonus: once baby outgrows it, it transforms into a chic floor toy bin. $399.00 at Mushie favorite we can't keep quiet about—their minimalist stacking cups come in the brand's signature muted tones. Featuring playful shaped cutouts on top of each cup, these BPA-free toys combine style and function, making them a must-have for any toddler's toy collection. $12.99 at didn't think I could have strong feelings about a baby rocker—until the Charlie Crane LEVO came into my life. It's one of those rare baby items that manages to be both incredibly functional and genuinely beautiful. The natural wood frame and minimalist design fit seamlessly into my transitional-style living room (no plastic eyesore here), and my baby will love the gentle, automatic bounce that responds to her movements. The seat is soft, supportive, and easy to clean. It's definitely on the pricier side, but for something I use daily and don't feel the need to hide when guests come over, it's worth every penny. $299.00 at You Might Also Like From the Archive: Tour Sarah Jessica Parker's Relaxed Hamptons Retreat 75 Small (But Mighty) Kitchens to Steal Inspiration from Right This Instant

A new era of fashion is coming to New York. After agreeing to a buyout with the Jazz following six seasons, veteran guard Jordan Clarkson will sign with the Knicks once he clears waivers.

Clarkson said some of his style inspirations came from retired NBA guard Brandon Jennings, former NBA MVP Russell Westbrook and rapper Pharrell, the current men's creative director for Louis Vuitton.
