Cardi B unveiled a fresh track on Thursday evening, hinting at what could be her upcoming single in a TikTok video from the recording studio. Embracing a relaxed look with bare feet, sweats, a simple white tank top, round eyeglasses, no makeup, and straightened hair, Cardi delivered her trademark sharp lyrics over a minimalist g-funk beat, reiterating her stance that detractors are not welcome.
In the teaser, she rhymes about her resilience and dismisses her competition with lines like, “Me vs. you and you know who they pickin’,” and “I can survive in the coldest conditions.” With her characteristic confidence, she asserts dominance, stating, “I apply pressure like boa constrictors,” and brushes off rivals with, “One b–ch, two b–ch, old b–ch, new b–ch, none of y’all not gonna do s–t.”
Dancing to her own rhythm, Cardi issues a direct challenge to her adversaries, declaring, “I see my opps linking up, I’m like, ‘What the f–k?/ If you scared, then just say that hoe/ Enough is enough.” The post garnered reactions from notable peers such as SZA and Camila Cabello, praising her appearance and delivery.
While Cardi hasn’t divulged further details about the track, her TikTok caption, “15” accompanied by a winking emoji, hints at a potential release date of March 15. If confirmed, this would follow her recent drop, “Like What (Freestyle),” and its accompanying provocative video directed by Offset, her estranged husband.
This latest release would mark Cardi’s first solo venture since her 2021 chart-topper, “Up,” which earned her a Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 hit and a Grammy nomination for best rap performance. In the interim, she collaborated on tracks like “Tomorrow 2” with GloRilla, “Jealously” with Offset, and the notable collab with Megan Thee Stallion, “Bongos.”
Amid ongoing anticipation for her sophomore album, Cardi has assured fans that she remains undeterred by criticism or anxiety. She reaffirmed her commitment to releasing new music this year, vowing not to let detractors or fans sway her. This upcoming album is highly anticipated as a follow-up to her groundbreaking debut, 2018’s “Invasion of Privacy.”
