Baby, you know you can hear anything and it may or may not be true, right? 

Well, we heard that Cardi B and Offset are sparking reunion rumors after being spotted together at a music industry gala in Los Angeles recently. 

Just weeks after public spats and a lot of whispers, the couple shared laughs and even posed for photos, sending fans into a frenzy. Is this a reconciliation, a publicity stunt, or simply co-parenting harmony? 

Either way, social media cannot stop talking.

J.Lo revealed a lineup of shows across the US and Europe. Fans say she’s proving that age is nothing but a number and that she’s still Jenny from the block with global star power. That’s all I’ll say on that.

So Urban City fam, what’s your favorite J.Lo moment? The Super Bowl, her movies, or the music videos that made her a legend as she lip-synced to, anyway, I’ll leave that alone. Drop your vote at Urban City Podcast, okay? Let us know what you think, all right? Now, Kendred, let’s broaden our scope and look briefly at what’s happening around the world. The African Union announced the addition of two new member states, strengthening regional cooperation on trade, peacekeeping, and energy.

Leaders say this marks a turning point for Africa’s collective power on the world stage. And in Japan, recovery continues after last month’s devastating earthquake. Relief efforts are accelerating with international aid arriving, temporary housing built, and resilient communities beginning to rebuild.

Back here in America, there seems to be some good news for US consumers. The latest report from Washington shows inflation cooling for the third straight month with food and fuel costs stabilizing. Economists say this could ease pressure on families ahead of the holiday season.

The US Supreme Court handed down a landmark ruling reinforcing protections under the Voting Rights Act. Civil rights groups held the decision as a victory for equal access to the ballot box. Meanwhile, thousands of layoffs hit the tech sector even as companies pour resources into AI development.

Let’s pivot for a quick glimpse into state news with today’s focus on Mississippi. In Jackson, federal and state funds are pouring into long-awaited water infrastructure repairs. For years, residents endured unsafe drinking water and frequent boil notices.

Now, with new pipelines and upgraded treatment plants, hope is rising for reliable access to clean water. In the Mississippi Delta, catfish farmers are adopting automated feeding and water quality monitoring systems. These high-tech changes boost harvest while protecting ecosystems, keeping the state’s most famous aquaculture thriving.

Now, Kendra, it’s time to see what kind of fun you can get into this weekend. 

This weekend in Laurel, Mississippi, families can enjoy the Family Fun Day and Car Show at the fairgrounds with 26 food trucks, live music, children’s activities, and rows of classic cars. It’s a $1 admission event that delivers fun for all ages.

In Las Vegas, legendary rock band The Eagles returned to the sphere on September 5th and 6th for a residency that combines timeless hits with state-of-the-art visuals. 

It’s not just a concert, it’s an immersive nightlife experience. And in St. Louis, the Japanese Festival at the Missouri Botanical Garden runs over Labor Day weekend, held August 31st through September 2nd.
