It's been five years since Cardi B released her debut album, "Invasion of Privacy," but new music is definitely in the works. The rapper has dropped several hints, including a tour of her at-home recording studio. Late last year, she again sparked suspicion among fans when she started following a since-deleted Instagram account called @albumcb2.
Though some fans have become skeptical that a new album is still on the way, Cardi gave fans a glimmer of hope in May. "This album is coming," she assured viewers during an Instagram livestream. A few months later, Cardi also appeared on her husband Offset's track "Jealousy," one of many collaborations she's done this year. Additional collaborations include "Put It on da Floor Again" with Latto and "Point Me 2" with FendiDa Rappa.
Speaking with Vogue México y Latinoamérica for the publication's September 2023 cover story, Cardi gave fans the most promising update yet. "I'm not going to release any more collaborations," she said. "I'm going to put out my next solo single. Right now, I'm working on the cover art and ideas for the next record because it's definitely coming up. Everyone always tells me I should put the record out now. They did when I released 'WAP' [with Megan Thee Stallion] and when I released 'Up,' but I always let them know I'm not going to wait long after all these singles. So stay tuned because it's coming out very soon."
