JUST IN: Cardi B Break Social Media Silence To Expose Shocked Secret Behind Why Her Upcoming Sophomore Album Delay
The Bronx star told fans that s*x and dating are behind the ongoing delay.
In a recorded livestream making its rounds on Friday (Jan. 3), Cardi B seemed to reaffirm her intentions to deliver a sophomore album. She was also candid about what’s been slowing her progress as of late.
“Every time I take d**k, I get distracted. I don’t want no distraction,” she stated. “This January is a very crucial month for me. … I can’t let nothing get in my way because January is very, very, very important. And I have a mission to complete. And if I don’t complete this mission, it’s gonna f**k up the schedule for this year.”
Cardi continued, “I already feel like I’ve been getting tested already. But you know what? So far, it hasn’t affected me yet. … I’m so proud of myself and I’m so focused because I’m a very emotional person. And when I get emotional, I don’t do things with love, and you can hear it in my music. My voice cracks a lot. You can see it on my face when I work. I just don’t have [the] thrive when I get emotional.”
It’s been almost seven full years since the Bronx talent unveiled her debut LP, Invasion of Privacy, which earned critical and commercial acclaim. The chart-topper was followed by an intermittent stream of loose hits, including “Please Me” with Bruno Mars, “WAP” with Megan Thee Stallion and “Up,” the last of which peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. Cardi also made a slew of featured appearances on a variety of songs across genres during that time.
In November 2024, she confirmed that the follow-up to Invasion of Privacy would finally make landfall in 2025. “Next year, my album will be out, my secret businesses will be out — I can’t tell y’all what I’m working on — [and] hopefully, next year I get [myself] a lil’ boyfriend,” she expressed to followers on social media.
