Cardi B Wastes No Time In Returning To The Gym After Giving Birth

Cardi B may have given birth just nine days ago, but she didn't take long to keep up with her previous lifestyle routines and her career moves. Moreover, she recently shared some videos on her Instagram Story on Sunday (September 15) of her at the gym, eschewing weight training for some stair master cardio. "Since im off tonight im doing a late night gym session,” the Bronx femcee shared. “No heavy lifting, no weight just straight stair master until next week and I start with @fitking_plem. Remember ladies this is my third baby …with my other 2 babies I was still on bedrest on my first week postpartum."

For those unaware, Cardi B had previously expressed her goal to quickly "snap back" to her body and get back in shape after her third pregnancy, which combats haters given their response to the previous two. "Y’all was making fun of me thinking that I was getting extra surgeries," she remarked. "All along, I just gained 15lbs 'cause I’m a pregnant hoe. [...] The time as soon as I give birth, I’m going to work out. I remember how y’all made me feel in May, and y’all hurt my feelings. Snap back is gonna be on a thousand."

Furthermore, it's heartening to see Cardi B go through this process while still sharing some adorable moments of her new baby's birth. In a new clip, she and Offset admire the little one and sharing news of their arrival with the couple's six-year-old daughter Kulture. Their three-year-old Wave was also there, and it was overall a very wholesome moment. Even though the rap romance is no more, it's clear that they still have a lot of love for each other and committed mutually to always support their family.

Amid all this, Cardi B gave another important update on her upcoming album. "Now is crunch time [disc emoji] on my kids," she tweeted. As such, it seems like this is the final stretch for this next project, and while we don't have any details, it's been a long time coming. Maybe it lands much sooner than we think...

English Teacher‘s debut album ‘This Could Be Texas‘ has re-entered the UK Top 40 following their Mercury Prize win.

The Leeds four-piece recently snagged the prestigious music prize at the ceremony held earlier this month at Abbey Road Studios.

They warded off competition from the likes of Charli XCXCMATGhettsThe Last Dinner PartyCorinne Bailey RaeBeth GibbonsBarry Can’t Swim and more with their debut album, ‘This Could Be Texas’.

Now, UK record labels association the BPI has reported an increased demand for the record. The BPI (which also organises the Mercury Prize) claimed that ‘This Could Be Texas’ gained a 1,073 per cent increase in sales in the week after the ceremony – its best chart performance since it was released in April this year.

Other albums by Mercury Prize nominees BERWYN, Corinne Bailey Rae and corto.alto also saw sales increases of over 100 per cent.

NME spoke to the band shortly after their win, where they said they would “continue to be honest” about their struggles as a band.

“It was never a conscious [choice] to be like ‘We’re going to be one of those bands that does that’,” frontwoman Lily Fontaine explained. “It’s just that when we get asked questions about those things, we’re always going to be honest. If we continue to be put in situations where we’re asked about that, we will continue to be honest about it.”

NME also spoke to the band for The Cover, where they hinted at their debut album and what was to come: “I feel like the next set of songs will truly reflect where we are now,” guitarist Lewis Whiting shared. “We don’t want to sit within one sound; there’s some huge-sounding ballads coming up. We’ve got a point to prove.”

We also reviewed their debut, awarding it a full five stars: “What you have in ‘This Could Be Texas’ is everything you want from a debut; a truly original effort from start to finish, an adventure in sound and words, and a landmark statement. Poised for big things? Who knows if this industry even allows that anymore. Here are a band already dealing in brilliance, though – who dare to dream and have it pay off.

“Not everyone gets to go to space, but at least English Teacher make it a damn site more interesting being stuck down here.”
