Cardi B has big plans for the rest of this year, including relaxing, maybe a trip to the beach, but, sorry to say, she won't be releasing her long-awaited sophomore album. The revelation came on Monday (May 14) in a since-deleted reply to a comment by a user X who said it was “time to retire from social media platforms”, dubbing the 'Bongos' rapper's engagement to her fans as “unappreciated.”
In a later deleted reply (screen grab HipHopDX), Cardi didn't disagree, writing, “I just tell myself that all the time .. and I hate to fall back and start interacting again and it bites me in the a—.”
Cardi then dropped a very disappointing truth bomb on Bardigang. “Anyway NO album this year I don't care I'm relaxing this year .. Leaving these features I've already committed to and traveling and enjoying my summer.”
The revelation was particularly harsh given that Cardi celebrated the sixth anniversary of her debut album, Breach of privacy, in April, teasing what fans can expect from her forever-delayed second major. “6 years ago I released my first album and it broke so many records GAH LEE!!” wrote around the time the album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and won a Grammy Award for Best Rap album at the 2019 Grammys. everyone is waiting and I'm very excited.”
For now, it looks like fans will have to satiate their appetite for more Cardi with her latest loosies, “Enough (Miami)” and the Shakira collaboration “Puntería,” the latest single from Shak's. Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran album.
