Cardi B Sparks New Album Rumors

Last month, Cardi B was on Instagram Live where she was very honest about why she has yet to release her sophomore album.

“I know y’all been saying that I gotta drop this album, that I’ve been lacking,” she said. “I’ma have to be real with y’all: I feel like I have gotten too comfortable because I’m just a mom! I’ve been having a lot of anxiety ’cause I know right after I drop my album, I have to go on tour and I have bad separation anxiety from my kids.”

“And then when it comes to music, I just feel like I don’t like anything,” she continued. “I feel like I got so many songs and I don’t like nothing, I feel like nothing is good enough. I got so much fucking money saved up that I just be like, ‘Whatever.’”

She added: “Now, making music to me has become a job that gives me anxiety because everybody just critiques everything that I do. Sometimes you just don’t want to do something that gives you that much anxiety, so I just be like freezing myself. But I have to let that go, I have to release more music. I have to just go out there.”

However this month, the Bronx native was spotted in the studio with Brooklyn Johnny. Brooklyn Johnny is A&R that played an instrumental role in bringing Cardi and Kodak Black to Atlantic Records.

“Y’ALL READY?! #CardiB,” he wrote in the caption.

Back in 2018, Cardi B dropped her debut album, Invasion of Privacy. The album featured contributions from  Migos, 21 Savage, SZA and more, debuting at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 after moving 225,000 units in the first-week. Since then, she’s dropped les — “WAP” with Megan Thee Stallion and “Hot Shit” featuring Kanye West and Lil Durk.
