Cardi B Releases New Song ‘Enough (Miami)’ miixtapechiick

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.‘”

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.

Flo Milli has dropped the much-anticipated remix of ‘Never Lose Me,’ featuring SZA and Cardi B.

This revamped version finds its place within Flo Milli’s latest album, “Fine Ho, Stay,” marking the end of a trilogy that began with “Ho, Why Is You Here?” and continued with “You Still Here, Ho?”. With 14 tracks in total, the album boasts additional contributions from Gunna, Monaleo and Anycia. Fans were treated to a surprise when Flo teased Cardi B’s inclusion through a video announcement after previously anticipating SZA on the remix of her chart-topping hit.


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.”
