Source: Courtesy of JWhiteDidIt Just before Cardi B and Nicki Minaj got into it again on social media, JWhiteDidIt visited the Global Grind offices to chat about his success with Bardi Gang’s formidable leader. As the producer behind “Lick,” “Bodak Yellow,” “Money Bag,” “I Like It” and her latest offering “Money,” JWhite has assisted Cardi in growing her credibility as an artist—in July, Billboard reported that Cardi is the first female rapper to earn two Billboard Hot 100 no. 1 records with “I Like It” and “Bodak Yellow.” Swish! In our interview the Kansas City producer talks all about watching Cardi progress . He also gets into why “Bodak Yellow” became the hit that it did, how her team decided to do a Spanish record, opening more doors for Latin music, and compares Cardi B’s success to that of a young 50 Cent. Get into it. On Cardi Honing Her Craft & Taking The Reigns “How I came in, I was a producer and Cardi was working on the mixtape and just trying to get records. I know as a producer we lead the show, so it was more like ‘Ok Cardi, we gonna do this, we gonna do that.’ But now, over the years she has developed an ear for what she likes and I think that’s dope for anybody to grow—and she’s been growing rapidly, as we all can see. I’m proud of her.” On “Bodak Yellow” & Why It Was Such A Big Hit “Timing, to be honest. None of us knew that it would be a hit record, we just knew that it was different and it was hard and it just felt good. You could hear the frustrations in Cardi’s voice, you could hear the hunger…and I think a lot of people at the time felt that.” When asked if the goal was to make a classic NY record, specifically, he added “No the goal was to, in my head, get a song that’s bigger than ‘Lick.’ ‘Lick’ was doing OK for the streets, but I know Cardi wanted that song on the radio. My job as a producer, and her team at the time, was to help give her that record. That was the goal, really.” “Honestly I thought ‘Bodak Yellow’…was [only] going to get us to another record. I didn’t think number one… ’cause it’s a weird record,” he said. “She’s from the Bronx and I’m from Kansas City and I think that mashup of sound…felt good for everybody and I think that’s why it worked. Cardi was something new, a breath of fresh air to this industry. Now look, she’s still commanding the airwaves.” Source:Courtesy of JWhiteDidIt On How “I Like It” Came About & The Decision To Incorporate More Spanish Into Her Sound “We were at the Atlantic offices and the CEO, Craig Kallman, he [told me] ‘I have this idea. I don’t know what record, I don’t know what song…but she needs a Latin record, but trapped out. It needs to have that ‘Bodak’ feel, or it needs to have an urban feel to it. We need to flip the song.’ So, that’s how that happened. I went to his house and he played me a lot of records—literally.” JWhite said Kallman played him so many records that he eventually started to doze off. “He’s playing me each Spanish record and…all I hear is ‘Yeaaaah baby!’ and I was like ‘That’s the one.’ The Pete Rodriguez joint, it woke me up because it was already a classic record. It’s hard to do but, we made another classic out of an already classic record, which is crazy. Everybody was a part of that record, because man it was work! On the production end…going through the sample, chopping it up the right way, just making it seem simple. But it paid off to get another number one. Later in our chat, he said the record “will open more doors for Latin music.” “It’s crazy hearing all these new records that have the Latin influence,” he adds. On Cardi B Saying She’s In The Game To Make Hits , Not Be Lyrical, & His Own Goals When They Create “Is she making money?! Is she making hits?! [Her statement] was real! I know how I feel about it is: it definitely feels good to makes hits, it feels good to make money, but it also feels good to bring people together—something that ‘Bodak Yellow’ did for the freaking culture! What song had a TV special? We had a TV special on Revolt…about a song!” He goes on to compare Cardi’s success to a young 50 Cent’s: “I feel like ‘Bodak Yellow’ is the female ‘In Da Club’ when that was out. I might be reaching, but I feel like it’s one of the biggest female hip hop records ever, if not the biggest. We had the most gangster of gangsters rapping it and my granddad, he’s a preacher, he knows the song.” On Working With Mary J Blige & More JWhite revealed he’s worked with a ton of artists, including Eric Bellinger, Fetty Wap, LeToya Luckett, and more—but working with living legend MJB seemed to be a highlight of his career. When asked if he saw her recent (drop dead gorgeous) photos, he talked about how beautiful she is inside and out: “When I seen Mary J. Blige in that studio I said ‘Halleluuuujah!’ I said ‘I dont know what done happened up in here!’ She’s beautiful. That outside is beautiful, but so is the inside. Me really hearing her talk and seeing who she is as a person, I got so much more respect for her, this legendary person that was so gracious enough to do two days with me in the studio and was open and excited about music…and to see somebody that’s been in the game that long…crazy!”
Mackenzie McKee is now 24 years old. Her mom, who is finally done with chemo as of only a few weeks ago, took to Facebook to wish her the happiest of birthdays. Angie does acknowledge that Mackenzie is kind of a disaster, but writes that she loves her “hot mess” of a daughter. If you’re familiar with Angie Douthit’s social media habits, we don’t have to tell you that she begins her post with a bible verse. “Ephesians 3:20,” she quotes. “‘Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us.'” “HAPPY BIRTHDAY MACKENZIE!” Angie gushes. “24 looks good on you!” “Yes,” Angie writes. “My baby is 24.” “Mackenzie and I both wish we could say it’s been an easy 24 years,” she says. “But,” Angie acknowledges. “She will tell you that she was proudly my biggest challenge in life.” “You take ADHD, type 1 diabetes, anxiety, ODD, horm onal issues, and put them all together in one tiny body and you’ve got one hot mess,” Angie says. “But,” she continues. “I’m so thankful for my hot mess.” “She changed me in a mighty way,” she affirms. Though everyone wants to be the best parent possible before having children, a lot of life lessons come while one is already a parent. “I learned to be patient,” Angie explains. “And to pick and choose my battles.” She adds: “I learned to truly love unconditionally.” “I learned to pray, pray, pray. I learned that not everything is the parents’ fault,” she says. “I also realized how incredibly talented and determined she was,” Angie writes. “Her stubbornness paid off and she is very successful today.” Angie praises: “Inside her was many abilities that have shown forth through the years.” “We are very close,” Angie affirms. She then reveals: “She calls me for advice every day and we have a lot of things in common.” “She taught me a lot about God,” Angie notes. She says that she has learned that “God always loves us, no matter how rude we are or if we just blamed him for everything.” “His love never wavers,” she continues. “God always forgives and moves on. He doesn’t dwell on the past.” “God looks at our gifts and talents inside all of us,” Angie affirms. “And,” she says. “No matter how undisciplined we seem on the outside, he sees a future butterfly about to sprout wings and fly.” “God always points us to the positive instead of the negative,” Angie says. “Yes,” she continues. “I’m a much better mother and teacher because of my stubborn, yet very fun, and talented Mickie.” “Today,” she reflects. “I’m very thankful for 24 years with my baby girl. I love you Mic!” “I asked her what she wanted for her bday,” Angie shares. “She said, ‘I just want a day with my mom and my sisters.'” “So we are all going to be together today,” she reveals. “What an incredible blessing.” Some people end up growing up to be closer with their parents — or one parent — than they ever were as children. Angie also imparts some wisdom upon her fans and followers. “Today, think about your biggest challenge,” she suggests. “Let God show you how he is working through it and how he is changing you for the better.” Even if you don’t share Angie’s personal religious views, thinking about your challenges and the paths to success — through the lens of your faith or otherwise — could be helpful. “Then,” Angie advises. “Go share your story and help someone else going through the same battle.” She then ties it back to her daughter: “Those challenges often turn into the greatest blessings!” “Love you Mackenzie,” Angie concludes. “You are a true blessing! ” View Slideshow: Mackenzie McKee Pays Heartbreaking Tribute to Dying Mother

(Photo credit should read ANGELA WEISS/AFP/Getty Images) Nicki Minaj And Diesel Get Dragged Well, someone in marketing is going to be looking for a job soon. The folks at Diesel have decided to put together an anti-bullying campaign using celebrities like Gucci Mane and…Nicki Minaj? Word? Either this is a big prank or one of the biggest mishaps in marketing history. Nicki Minaj has been accused of bullying during her entire career. She allegedly hopped in a woman’s DMs this summer, demeaning her. She’s been accused of sic’ing her army of maniacal fans on people who disagree with her and criticize her actions. She’s been called one of the biggest bullies in the game so this decision is…weird. Nicki is on an entire cyber bully campaign as if she not only got someone fired from their internship & but her fans have been harassing that woman even to this day with death threats, mean comments about her child, & trying to find out her address — diet stud (@dankbonn3t) September 19, 2018 Okay, it’s worse than weird. Take a look at Twitter’s reactions and they aren’t pretty.

Picture by: Andrew Schwartz / SplashNews.com Naomi Osaka Is Reportedly Looking At Adidas Deal Naomi Osaka shook up the tennis world last week after she captured her first Grand Slam win by defeating Serena Williams in the U.S. Open finals. Now, only a few days later, the 20-year-old Japanese-Haitian star could be destined for a big pay day from one of the biggest sportswear companies in the world. Adidas is prepared to pay the young Osaka $8.5 million a year, according to reports from The Times of London. If this endorsement does indeed work out as planned, it would make this the biggest deal Adidas has ever given to a woman. Osaka’s current contract, which is set to expire this year, is already with Adidas, and is reportedly somewhere in the six figures neighborhood. Naomi has been climbing the women’s tennis rankings steadily since 2017, and her defeat over Williams on Saturday made her the first Japanese-born player to take home a major title. Adidas has not yet commented on the possibility of a new contract for Osaka.
