OFFSET GETS A CARDI B NECK TATTOO TO DISPLAY THE LOVE HE HAS FOR HIS FUTURE WIFE
The new ink features Cardi B’s name sprawled under Buttercup from “The Powerpuff Girls.” It’s an ode to one of Bardi’s favorite cartoon characters, which she also commemorated with an iced-out pendant, as seen in the “MotorSport” video.
Offset and Cardi are engaged, but the two have been fielding infidelity rumors for the past few months. Bardi seemed to confirm those talks with an onstage warning. “Do that shit again and you gon’ lose your wife,” she said last month.
Recently, however, she revealed that the two still plan on getting married. She even shared her potential song options for their first dance. “I don’t know what song he’d pick,” she said. “I know the one that I would pick. I’m not gonna say it because I’m not gonna sound sensitive. It’s between Al B. Sure! and Grace Jones.”
Success has also followed the pair. Currently, Bacardi is on seven Hot 100 singles, while Offset pops up on four. The power couple appears together on Migos’ “MotorSport,” which is sitting at No. 8.
Up next, Cardi is crafting her debut album and is set to perform “Finesse” with Bruno Mars at the Grammys. Meanwhile, Offset is finalizing work on Migos’ Culture II.
Los Angeles Production Designer and Art Department Professional Discusses the Creative Vision Behind Building Worlds for Film and Entertainment
Mexican-born Production Designer and Art Department professional Angelica Figueroa is stepping into the international media spotlight with a featured appearance on The Andrew Eborn Show on Octopus TV.
The interview, “The Invisible Architect of Hollywood: How Mexican Visionary Angelica Figueroa Builds Worlds in Films,” explores the creative work audiences rarely see happening behind the camera — and the extraordinary amount of research, imagination and craftsmanship required to create the visual environments in which stories come alive.
Figueroa, originally from Morelos, Mexico, earned a BFA in Filmmaking from the New York Film Academy and has established herself in Los Angeles working across Production Design, Art Direction, Set Dressing and Prop Master roles.
Her growing body of work demonstrates the versatility required of a modern Art Department professional, spanning narrative filmmaking, music and performance videos, promotional productions and independent projects.
Rather than simply decorating a set, Figueroa approaches production design as an extension of character and story. Research, sourcing, props, color, texture, architecture and period-specific details can all become part of the visual language of a production.
That philosophy has helped define her emerging career.
As a Production Designer, Figueroa worked on What a Valentine, starring acclaimed actor Jim Beaver, and Tamales, starring Virginia Novello.
Her credits also extend into major music and entertainment productions. Figueroa has worked as a Set Dresser on a Willow Smith performance video, a promotional production for Wild ’N Out, and the “Tell Me” project by OneRepublic and Karan Aujla.
Her work as Art Director on the period short film Sunrise Boulevard, set in 1955, required the creation of a visual environment capable of transporting audiences into another era. Figueroa contributed through art direction, set dressing, props and sourcing, helping establish the film’s period-specific world.
Sunrise Boulevard was subsequently selected for the Burbank International Film Festival and received a nomination in the Best Production Design / Art Direction category.
Additional Art Department credits include Canta Santiago, Oroboros, Ikigai and Rebel Flower(s). On Oroboros, Figueroa served as Prop Master, working with story-specific and actor props as well as sourced, practical and breakable set pieces.
Her appearance on The Andrew Eborn Show gives audiences an opportunity to discover the person behind that work and gain insight into a profession that plays an essential role in filmmaking while often remaining invisible to the audience.
Andrew Eborn brings an extensive international media background to the conversation. An international lawyer, strategic business adviser, broadcaster and media personality, Eborn is known for conversations spanning entertainment, television, film, business, technology and culture.
For Figueroa, the interview represents another opportunity to bring attention not simply to individual credits, but to the specialized creative discipline behind them.
Production designers and Art Department professionals help determine what audiences ultimately see on screen. Before an actor enters a room, someone has considered what that room communicates about the character. Before a period story can feel authentic, someone has researched the objects, furnishings, materials and visual details necessary to make that world believable.
That is the space in which Angelica Figueroa has been building her career.
Her work reflects an ability to move between creative vision and practical execution — transforming research and storytelling concepts into physical environments that can exist convincingly in front of the camera.
As Figueroa continues developing her career in American film and entertainment, her appearance on The Andrew Eborn Show introduces a wider audience to a filmmaker whose contribution happens largely behind the scenes but becomes visible in virtually every frame.
