Don’t Blame Cardi B For Delay Of 2nd Album, Blame Her No-Show Features: ‘I Need Y’all To Hurry Up!’
Here’s the thing. It’s not Cardi B‘s fault that her long-in-the-works sophomore studio album hasn’t been released yet. At least that’s what Cardi said during an Instagram Live session with fans this week, in which the rapper claimed that the real hold-up is the feature verses she’s waiting on from her guests.
“I really need these f–king features,” she said in a repost of the session. “And it’s like I’m not really trying to press or go crazy on these artists because I love them down. But it’s like come on now! I need that! I need that right now! Helloooo! Y’all don’t want to miss this opportunity. I’ll sing this s–t myself! But I really need y’all and I need y’all to hurry up and I love y’all. I feel like nobody want to miss being on this album.”
In an X Spaces chat on March 31 Cardi said, “the features on my album are really good… I don’t have a lot of features but I’m working with artists, some that I have worked before and some that I haven’t worked before. And the ones that I have not worked before, I feel like it’s gonna really, really surprise y’all.”
In the Insta chat this week, she admitted to fans that she often doesn’t “feel too confident” about a lot of things, but that she’s “very confident” about the unnamed follow-up to her smash 2018 debut, Invasion of Privacy. “These motherf–kers almost cried listening to my s–t,” she said of her team, noting that they told her there were “no skips” on the album.
“It’s iconic! This album is so good!” Cardi raved. “I put my whole p–sy on it! I rapped with the bottom of my p–sy! So hurry up!” While Cardi did not specify who she is waiting on, she again encouraged them to get in the booth because, flipping her hair back and forth across her face she promised, “this album is for the books!… Like, the production, the production, the feelings, the words, the rap… it’s just, it’s really there. Y’all not even understanding.”
At press time no release date or track list for the untitled album had been announced.
