Cardi B celebrates 33rd birthday and declares it her “Jesus year”

Cardi B, despite celebrating big achievements and experiencing personal growth, didn’t have the easiest time as a 32-year-old. It was a year filled with tension, public disputes, and emotional pressure. During this period, she filed for divorce from Offset, her husband of nearly seven years.

Although she successfully won her assault lawsuit against former security guard Emani Ellis, the case took a heavy toll. The $24 million at stake created enormous stress, and the legal battle caused her to miss her children’s first days back at school.

But as of Saturday, October 11, Cardi has officially entered her 33rd year and seems ready to leave the chaos behind. She hinted at a fresh start in her birthday post on Instagram, as reported by Complex.

“Thank you to everyone for all the birthday wishes! Every one normally makes their new year resolution on Jan 1st but I made mine last night! Im feeling lucky but most of all blessed! Year 32 was a year I’ll never forget!” she wrote in her caption.

She added, “[winking face emoji] 33 is the Jesus year and I must say I never felt so covered and so protected by the man above himself. He never fails to remind me that I’m chosen and that I’m anointed and that’s the best gift I could ever ask for. Thank you all for supporting me and loving me! I love yall back!”

While Cardi is hoping this next year will be more peaceful, she’s already facing a new lawsuit, this time over copyright infringement.

Beyond the legal matters, feuds have been a constant part of her public life. She found herself clashing with figures like Joe Budden, Nicki Minaj, BIA, Ice Spice, and JT throughout the year. Some of these conflicts were reignited by her fiery album AM I THE DRAMA?, with BIA being one of the most recent names at the center of it all.

BIA, however, has expressed that she’s ready to move on. “This isn’t even about her, this is really about real artists. Like, the artists that get up and go to the studio and care about the creative and do their work and have limited resources. I’m speaking for them. This is not even about her anymore. This is like, I’m anti-machine. [...] I would be doing a disservice to myself with everything I’ve put into this album, making this about her. I could just go and I could drop something at any time. That came a year ago, I dropped that record a year ago. I would be doing a disservice to myself, I’ll say that,” she said on The Breakfast Club.

Guns N’ Roses have officially begun their 2026 tour and treated fans to the first ever live performances of Nothin’ and Atlas. You can find videos and the full setlist from the night below.

The concert took place at Parque Fundidora in Monterrey, Mexico on Saturday March 28 and marked the opening night of the band’s 2026 tour schedule. It follows a busy stretch of concerts last year, which concluded in October.

This tour also marks their first since drummer Frank Ferrer exited the group in 2025 after close to two decades. Just a day before the show, keyboard player Melissa Reese also shared that she would not be joining the upcoming dates due to personal matters.

Like many of their concerts, the band began the night with major fan favourites including Welcome To The Jungle and Mr Brownstone, later adding classics such as Paradise City, Don’t Cry, Civil War, November Rain, and their take on Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door as the show continued.

Along with their well known version of the Bob Dylan song, Axl Rose and the rest of the band also performed several other covers during the night. These included Black Sabbath’s Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, Wings’ Live And Let Die, Velvet Revolver’s Slither, The Damned’s New Rose, and UK Subs’ Down On The Farm.

The Monterrey performance also included the first live performances of their newer songs Nothin’ and Atlas, which were originally released in December. See the full setlist and clips from the show below.

After the Mexico show, Slash and the rest of the band will continue the tour in April with nine major concerts scheduled across Brazil. In May, they will head to Florida for two performances before moving on to a European run across June and July. That leg begins with two dates in Poland, followed by a performance in Dublin and an already confirmed appearance at the UK’s Download Festival.

Those dates begin in North Carolina on July 23 and conclude in Georgia on September 19. Buy US tickets here, European tickets here, and see the full list of dates below.
