Cardi B‘s sophomore album isn’t ready, and it’s not entirely her fault.
When speaking with fans on Instagram Live this week, the rapper confessed that her featured guests are the real culprits behind the delay.
“I really need these f**king features,” she explained without namedropping anyone specific. “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 would want to miss being on this album.”
The Bronx native admitted that with some past releases, she wasn’t particularly confident. However, that’s not the case with her highly-anticipated second album.
“These motherf**kers almost cried listening to my s**t. They were like ‘I feel like there’s no skips‘ […] It’s iconic. This album is so good. I put my whole p***y on it. I rapped with the bottom of my p***y, so hurry up!,” Bardi quipped while urging her collaborators to “not miss out on this moment.”
While she understands being busy, she really hopes her guest stars don’t forgo this opportunity.
The untitled follow-up to her Grammy-winning debut album, Invasion Of Privacy, is described as being “for the books.” Cardi teased, “Like the production, the production, the feelings, the words, the rap— it’s just, it’s really there. Y’all not even understanding.”
As far as who’s on the project, the mother of three said on Spaces back in March, “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.”
She is remaining tight-lipped about who she’s worked with, but promised to give fans some hints about who’s who. Cardi also hinted that the LP will be “messy” while speaking to a range of emotions. No title or release date has been announced.
