Before the big announcement on Sunday, Cardi B posted an Instagram teaser, saying:
“Seven years I gave them grace, but now, I give them hell… I’m not your villain, I’m your tyrant.”
Patriots star Stefon Diggs re-posted Cardi’s teaser on his Instagram Story.
Cardi B’s album announcement follows the release of the album’s lead single, “Outside.”
Cardi performed a snippet of the single at Spotify Beach in Cannes, France on June 18.
The song’s lyrics take a dig at her estranged husband, rapper Offset.
When I tell you these niggas ain’t sh-t, please believe me
They gon’ f-ck on anything, these ni–as way too easy
Good for nothing low down dirty dogs, I’m convinced
Next time you see your mama, tell her how she raised a b-tch[Chorus]
I’m goin’ outside, ’cause it’s hot out
You was playin’ games, You on time out
Where them fine ni–as, I’m tryna find ni–as
I been cuffed up too long, Let me remind ni–as
“Outside” marks Cardi B’s first solo effort since “Puntería”, featuring Shakira in 2024.
