Rapper and singer Cardi B recently shared an important update about her highly anticipated sophomore album, reported People.

She subtly revealed that the album, which she has been delaying for years is coming close to its end of production as the cover has already been shot. Could Cardi B’s sophomore record be coming sooner than we think?

“After a fan shared a gif on X of a person standing on the edge of a helicopter holding a bag with the caption, “I’m on my way to France to see if I can find Cardi the Hermes bag that she wants.. @iamcardib I got you sis,” Cardi quote tweeted the post writing, “If you find me the bag I’ll release my album cover,” according to People.

The fan tweeted, “So the album cover is ready is what I’m hearing,” along with the picture of Zendaya

“Album covers are taken ….I just don’t know which to pick,” Cardi replied to the user.

Cardi spoke about remarks made on X regarding her next album on The Joe Budden Podcast in July.

When the subject of her follow-up album came up in the show, host Joe Budden, 43, said, “We’ll never get another Cardi album again. I am standing on it.”

In response to the criticism, she shared that she don’t care about what people talk about her., “…….It’s the fact you always talk s— about me, Joe Budden. Out of nowhere, you would think I did something to this… For the past two years, this……has only talked bad things about me, constantly.”

She also alleged that the host compares her to other female rappers “every five, six months” and only ever offers criticism for her singles.

In May, Cardi said that plans had altered, reversing her March assurances to fans that her album would be out in 2024.

“Anyway, NO album this year I don’t care I’m relaxing this year ..Dropping these features I already committed to and travelling and enjoying my summer,” she told a fan on X, reported People

Nicki Minaj Recruits Cardi B’s Enemy For Second Leg Of Gag City Tour

Nicki Minaj announced the openers for her Pink Friday 2 World Tour’s second leg on Friday (August 16). The diamond-selling rapper enlisted Tyga and Bia, who released a Cardi B diss track two months ago, for the Gag City Reloaded Tour.

“#GagCityReloaded will be a beautiful, magical dream come true,” Minaj wrote on Instagram. “Better than the 1st half & that wasn’t easy to do. New looks, set list changes, other secrets, ummmm new music? Lemme think about it. Thank you to the team doing this with me again.

They’re simply the best. To the guest artists who will come out in their cities, thank you in advance; and to these 3 TALENTS (who I have so much love & respect for) for taking the G6 to #GAGCITY just for the Barbz & me. @tyga @bia @skillibeng. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!”

She added, “Barbz, we’ve already made history prior to LEG 2. TOP 10 in HIPHOP TOURS OF ALL TIME already. To everyone who came out on the first leg to support: GOD BLESS YOU. I LOVE YOU. I DO. Come back.”

Nicki’s booking of Bia added a new wrinkle to the Harajuku Barbie’s longstanding issues with Cardi B. Bia enraged Cardi B by allegedly spreading infidelity rumors. Cardi B threatened to sue Bia.

“I’ma sue you and you got to come with receipts,” Cardi B declared. “And not social media receipts, court receipts. I will get every little f###### red penny that you ever f###### make b####. Every money that you make off your publishing. So, find something safe to do.”

Bia responded by releasing the diss track “SUE MEEE?” in June.

“Put it on your hubby since you love lying on your vows/I write all my verses, I can do this s### for hours/I be damned I let a n#### f### a b#### inside my house/Your money long and you split that, your n#### saying that’s ours,” Bia rapped.

Cardi B hasn’t filed a lawsuit against Bia as of yet.
