Cardi B still set to release second album this year despite recent tweets

Cardi B has said the rapper will drop her long-awaited second album this year, despite tweeting otherwise.Last week in a now-deleted tweet, Cardi B said she was delaying the release of her sophomore record.“Anyway, NO album this year,” she wrote. “I don’t care.

I’m relaxing this year. [I’m] dropping these features I already committed to and travelling and enjoying my summer.”This seems to be untrue as a representative for the rapper has since confirmed to Rolling Stone that an album was still in on the cards for this year.The long-awaited record will serve as the follow-up to her 2018 record-breaking debut album ‘Invasion Of Privacy’.

The LP won Best Rap Album at the 2019 Grammys, making her the first-ever solo female act to win the award.It was reported that – as of March this year – the LP is partially done.

However, it didn’t have a title, an intro, features, or a rollout plan, and needed at least three more songs.“I take my music so fucking seriously that that’s why I don’t put it out,” she said about the six-year delay. “If it’s not perfect to my ear, if every fucking word doesn’t sound like it’s pronounced right, if the beat is overpowering the words or the words is overpowering the beat, I don’t want to put it out.”The rapper added that she will go on tour after the release of the record.Cardi B has already shared a glimpse of what’s to come on her next album.
