Cardi B: Struggling with Label Expectations Amidst Pregnancy Rumors.

The streets are buzzing with rumors that Cardi B’s record label is growing tired of her lack of productivity and may be considering dropping her.

The rapper, known for her energetic singles and collaborations, hasn’t released a new album or gone on tour in years, leaving her label financially strained.

Sources suggest that Cardi’s label is frustrated with her inability to deliver a new album or tour, key revenue streams for any artist.

Instead, Cardi has focused on releasing singles and participating in collaborations, which, while popular, don’t generate the same level of income as album sales and tours.

Rumors have intensified recently with speculation that Cardi might be pregnant with her third child with Offset. Observers noted her preference for baggy, dark-colored clothing, fueling gossip about her trying to hide a baby bump. During a family trip to Paris for her daughter Kulture’s birthday, Cardi was seen in several loose-fitting dresses, adding to the speculation.

Critics argue that Cardi is using her rumored pregnancy as a promotional tool for her upcoming album. They point out that if she is pregnant, she won’t be able to tour once the album drops, similar to her strategy in 2018 when she released “Invasion of Privacy” around the time she gave birth to Kulture.

Insiders at Atlantic Records reportedly believe Cardi is repeating her 2018 strategy, leveraging her pregnancy to sell an album without committing to a tour. This tactic, while previously successful, has left the label investing heavily without substantial returns.

Cardi has responded to the criticism, explaining the delay in her album release is due to the poor performance of summer releases.

She defended herself on Twitter, arguing that albums released in summer don’t perform as well as those released in autumn or winter due to the sheer volume of new music during the summer months.

Adding to the controversy, Joe Budden criticized Cardi on his podcast, calling her a “flop” and questioning if she would ever release another album.

Cardi fired back on social media, accusing Budden of comparing her to other female rappers unfairly and harboring a personal vendetta.

The public’s reaction has been mixed. While some fans understand the pressures Cardi faces, others believe she’s avoiding her responsibilities as an artist.

A Twitter influencer, Paradise Paris, criticized Cardi for not releasing new music, prompting a heated exchange between the two.

Two blind items have further fueled the controversy. One suggested that Cardi’s label is embarrassed by the lack of a new album, and a publicity stunt is planned for August.

The other hinted that Cardi uses her pregnancies to avoid touring, a tactic allegedly known and tolerated by her label.

Cardi B’s situation highlights the immense pressure artists face from their labels and the public. As rumors swirl and expectations mount, the question remains: will Cardi B be able to deliver a successful album and meet her label’s demands, or will the controversies continue to overshadow her career?
