Just two months since Cardi B sadly informed the Bardigang that the long-awaited follow-up to her smash debut 2018 album, "Invasion of Privacy", would probably not be coming out this year because she was focusing on “relaxing” and enjoying her summer.
The 31-year-old Grammy winner apparently has a change of heart on the eve of the release of her new collab with Rob49, “On Dat Money.”
In a post on Friday via X, Cardi explained that she’s rethought the chill zone and is planning to drop new music after all.
“I wanna say this to Bardi gang or anybody who’s just a fan of my music or even my craziness… I have my good days and my bad days but you know what, whether it’s good or bad I couldn’t be happier with the obvious anticipation for my album,” she wrote before dropping the good news.
The rapper added, “Sometimes I get a little aggressive because yall know I don’t like to be told what to do but I promise you it’s coming THIS YEAR. Thank you for the love and anticipation and always holding me down. I love yall,”.
Cardi B immediately made those dreams come true with her cameo in New Orleans MC Rob49’s video for “On Dat Money,”.
The pop-in on the song follows Cardi’s release of two loosey singles earlier this year, “Enough (Miami)” and “Like What” and a number of other features.
It also comes after she slammed rapper/podcaster Joe Budden on Thursday for his critical take on the roll-out of her eagerly anticipated sophomore album in the lead-up to the Rob49 single dropping.
On a recent pod, Budden confidently predicted that Cardi would not release another album in her career, saying, “We’ll never get another album again. I am standing on it.”
However, a rep for Cardi confirmed to the magazine that she will release an album this year.
