Cardi B Declares No Album Release in 2024: ‘I’m relaxing this year’

Cardi B enthusiasts may need to extend their anticipation for her highly-awaited sophomore album, as the rapper herself has confirmed it won’t be hitting shelves this year.

In a now-deleted post on Tuesday (May 14), Cardi concurred with a fan’s sentiment about the lack of appreciation for her transparency and suggested she might step back from social media for a while.

“Exactly, and I tell myself this all the time… and I hate that I fall back and start interacting again and it bites me in the аss,” Cardi responded. “Anyway, NO album this year. I don’t care, I’m relaxing this year… Dropping these features I already committed to and traveling and enjoying my summer.”

Yet, there might still be a glimmer of hope for a change of plans. Shortly after, Cardi shared a tweet celebrating the success of four of her songs reaching the billiоn-stream milestone on Spotify and hinted at future endeavors, stating, “Can’t wait for you to see and hear what’s next!”

Previously, Cardi B had assured fans of a new album arriving in 2024, marking six years since her groundbreaking debut album, Invasion of Privacy.

In March, the “Bodak Yellow” artist showcased a plethora of songs, some recorded as early as January 2023.

In an Instagram video captioned “January 2023… I really got like 100 songs,” Cardi shared a glimpse of her extensive work, including a track titled “Cunty” recorded in late January of the previous year during the wee hours of the morning.

“January 27 of 2023. I be working on this sҺit at 5 a.m. — you know I’m a night owl,” she quipped. “I promise y’all this year: I’m not letting my anxiety, I’m not letting what haters sаy, I’m not letting what fans sаy… If I do a song, Imma just fucƙιn’ drop it. Well, I got no choice, because I’m dropping my album this year, so stay tuned for the announcement.”

While celebrating the anniversary of Invasion Of Privacy last month, Cardi also teased tidbits about her forthcoming album.

“6 years ago I released my first album and it broke so many records GAH LEE!!” she reminisced. “6 years later I’m preparing to drop the next one this year… it’s so different from what everyone is expecting and I’m sooo excited. Love you guys and thank you for the support! I’ll talk to ya soon, I been so busy these last few days.”
