  "account": "Rapper Cardi B has shared with her fans that she intends to be more active in the near future, after feeling confined indoors for the past few months. She attributes this change to the ongoing influence of retrograde celestial movements, Mercury and Venus specifically, which she believes have been \"whooping our ass.\" Despite the challenges she has experienced recently, both personally and professionally, Cardi is optimistic that her situation will improve soon. She added that during this period, she is regaining her strength and is confident in her ability to overcome any obstacles. The Bronx-based artist will soon be participating in the Grand Theft Auto VI : The Festival alongside Travis Scott & Cactus Jack in Miami on November 21. Additionally, she will be honored with Billboard Canada's first-ever Global Woman of the Year award on November 24 during the Billboard Canada Women in Music event in Toronto. Cardi also recently shared the first photos of her youngest child, Grey Marsean, whom she shares with Washington Commanders wide receiver Stefon Diggs, as he celebrated his first birthday.",
