Cardi B Defends Offset's Use Of Controversial Lyric

(Radio.com) Cardi B took to social media to defend her fiance, Migos rapper Offset, against accusations that he's homophobic. The controversy was triggered after Offset rapped, 'I cannot vibe with queers," in his guest spot on the YFN Lucci song 'Boss Life." When angry tweets started to roll in, the rapper apologized, insisting he wasn't using the word "queer" as a homophobic slur and actually intended it to mean "strange" or "unusual."

Lots of fans didn't buy it and the social media barrage continued. That's when Cardi B stepped in on Periscope Saturday night (Jan. 20) to stand by her man.

"I'm not going to let somebody call him 'homophobic' when I know that he's not," she said. 'And I'm saying this because I seen him around these� around gays, and he treats them with the same respect he treats everybody. He never acts uncomfortable and he just don't care." Read more here.

"I hope that the message stirs something in people and maybe gets them to act on that one thing they've been waiting to do for the longest time, but have been putting off until 'Someday.'"

The heart-wrenching clip follows a group of friends dealing with the devastating loss of one of their own, and the ways they made the most of their dwindling time together.

"We follow the brave main character and her friends as they navigate that reality and how strong they are in light of the situation." Watch it here.

Destiny's Child Hit Reimagined For New 'Tomb Raider' Movie Trailer

(Radio.com) When Tomb Raider returns to the big screen a new actress will be taking over the role of Lara Croft from Angelina Jolie: Alicia Vikander (Ex Machina, The Danish Girl).

The big-screen blockbuster has revealed a new trailer last week, packed with heart-pounding action and thrilling special effects. As the trailer progresses, a slow, dramatic song swells in the background. As the action in the video reaches a particularly harrowing moment--Laura Croft dangling precariously over a steep waterfall from the wing of a crashed airplane--the song reveals itself as Destiny's Child's "Survivor."

This, however, isn't the peppy 2001 version of "Survivor" featuring Da Brat that the world remembers from it being played heavily on pop radio (and everywhere else) back in the day.

For the Tomb Raider trailer, "Survivor" has been slowed down into a sparse, minimal power ballad style, with massive jungle drums and big orchestra bursts to amp up the bombastic action happening onscreen. The new version of the track was crafted by 2WEI, whose work has been featured in numerous film trailers.

This isn't the first time a Beyonce-related song has been given the slowed-down movie trailer treatment. The singer and producer Boots crafted a downbeat 2014 remix of her hit, "Crazy in Love," for the original Fifty Shades of Grey movie.

Tomb Raider hits theaters on March 16. Check out the new trailer here.

"I got the idea by her interests, she loves corky jokes and creative videos and I put the two together. I would be so overwhelmed with excitement and hopefully, it would continue with her saying yes.
