Cardi B Releases New Song ‘Enough (Miami)’
After releasing her ‘Like What (Freestyle),’ Cardi B returns with her brand new single, ‘Enough (Miami).’ The single follows her appearance on the remix of Flo Milli‘s ‘Never Lose Me’ alongside SZA.
“The song was originally called ‘And Her Name is Cardi K,’ the rapper revealed on Instagram Live. “And the reason why I called this song ‘Cardi K’ … I said it in an interview … I was really angry. I felt like … bitches were ganging up on me. I felt like I was very underestimated. Even my fanbase. I have a big fanbase, but it’s very underestimated…” She continued with, “So ‘Cardi K,’ I don’t know if you know how people say, ‘EBK,’ like ‘Everybody Killa.’ I just felt like everyone was on some ‘Cardi K’ shit, like ‘Y’all on some Cardi Killa shit? Then fuck you hoes! Fuck you bitches!”
“I got in the studio feeling angry, but honestly, I’m not in that space right now. I don’t give a fuck about nobody right now. But that’s her original name. Her original name is ‘Cardi K,’ but her stage name is ‘Enough/Miami.‘”

PARTYNEXTDOOR Returns With New Single ‘R e a l W o m a n’ ; Announces P4 Release Date
PARTYNEXTDOOR marked his return in 2023 with ‘H e r O l d F r i e n d s,‘ followed by ‘R e s e n t m e n t.’ As anticipation builds for his highly awaited album P4, the OVO Sound artist drops his latest offering, ‘R e a l W o m a n.’ This release follows his feature on the pages of Billboard Magazine.
In an interview with Zane Lowe on Apple Music, PARTYNEXTDOOR spoke on the essence of his latest track, expressing, “I consider myself an empath, deeply connected to emotions. Through my music, I strive to articulate these profound sentiments. As I mature, I’ve come to understand the ebb and flow of relationships, a journey both enriching and tumultuous—a duality I’ve grappled with and embraced.”
Excitement continued as he revealed the much-anticipated release date for his forthcoming album, P4, set to drop on April 26th.

Reflecting on the creation of her first Billboard hit, Flo Milli shared with Billboard, “I was in the studio all night, and I wasn’t really focused. I was working on other stuff for my project, and then right when I was about to leave, I asked the engineer to pull up this beat — that’s when I started rapping. For the ‘Never Lose Me’ part, I’m such a perfectionist: Until I get a line right and it sounds like how it sounds in my head, I’ll do it so many times. I just kept saying, ‘You never wanna olse me.’ I wasn’t expecting it to blow. I was just doing it for me.”
