Cardi B explains seven-year wait for second album

September 5, 2025 – Radio 854 Music News:

Cardi B is finally opening up about why it has taken seven years for her to release a follow-up to her smash debut Invasion of Privacy. The rapper, who skyrocketed to fame with hits like “Bodak Yellow” and “I Like It,” admitted the long gap wasn’t planned but necessary.

In a recent interview, Cardi explained that pressure, personal struggles, and wanting to deliver her best work all played a role in the delay. “I didn’t want to just drop something to say I did it. I wanted my next project to mean something,” she shared.

Since 2018, Cardi has remained a dominant force in music through collaborations, singles, and her larger-than-life personality. Still, fans have been eager for a full album, and the anticipation is higher than ever.

With the Bronx star finally ready to share her new era, her sophomore album is expected to showcase growth, raw honesty, and the fierce energy that made her a household name.
