Cardi B has big plans for the rest of this year, including some chill time, maybe a trip to the beach, but, sorry to report, not releasing her long-awaited sophomore album.

The revelation came on Monday (May 14) in a since-deleted response to a comment from an X user who said it was “time for her to pull back from social media platforms,” dubbing the “Bongos” rapper’s engagement with her fans as “unappreciated.”

In a since-deleted reply (screen-grabbed by HipHopDX), Cardi didn’t disagree, writing, “Exactly and I tell myself this all the time .. and I hate that I fall back and start interacting again and it bites me in the a–.”

Then Cardi dropped a very disappointing truth bomb on the Bardigang. “Anyway NO album this year I don’t care I’m relaxing this year .. Dropping these features I already committed to and traveling and enjoying my summer.”

The revelation was especially harsh considering Cardi celebrated the sixth anniversary of her debut album, Invasion of Privacy, in April by teasing what fans can expect from her forever delayed second full-length. “6 years ago I released my first album and it broke so many records GAH LEE!!” she wrote at the time of the album that debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and earned a Grammy award for best rap album at the 2019 Grammys. “6 years later I’m preparing to drop the next one this year.. it’s so different from what everyone is expecting and I’m sooo excited.”

For now, it seems, fans will have to sate their appetite for more Cardi with her most recent loosies, “Enough (Miami)” and the Shakira collab “Puntería,” the latest single from Shak’s Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran album.

Jay Z ‘felt the pain’ of cheating on Beyoncé

Jay-Z opens up about his infidelity in a candid interview, admitting to cheating on Beyoncé and the pain it caused.

Jay-Z, the hip-hop mogul known for his bravado, admitted to infidelity in his marriage to Beyoncé, causing a buzz in tinsel town. In an exclusive interview with Dean Baquet for The New York Times, Jay-Z admitted to cheating on his wife Beyoncé while they were still married, blaming it on childhood issues. The rapper had a passionate 35-minute interview about his song, The Story of OJ from his album 4:44, followed by his marriage and other topics.

Jay Z opens up about cheating on Beyoncé

In a heartbroken and remorseful tone, he stated, “The hardest thing is seeing pain on someone’s face that you have caused and then having to deal with yourself.” He goes on to explain his coping strategy and how hard he struggled to save his relationship with Beyoncé, empathising with her pain.

“You have to survive so you go into survival mode, and when you go into survival mode, what happens? You shut down all emotions,” said a regretful Jay Z.

As the conversation progresses, he elaborates on the main reason he cheated. “So, even with women, you gonna shut down emotionally, so you can’t connect. In my case, like, it’s deep. And then all the things happen from there: infidelity.”

How Beyoncé overcame Jay Z’s cheating scandal?

The Renegade singer even intimated that he and his wife might have split up forever because of the remorse and pain he felt after cheating on her. However, after numerous rounds of therapy and a persistent attempt to improve his marriage, the two overcome the battle and remain one of the most incredible power couples in the entertainment industry.

Jay-Z and Beyonce addressed the issue through their music?

“You know, most people walk away, and, like, divorce rate is like 50% or something ’cause most people can’t see themselves.” Jay-Z’s most recent album, 4:44, alludes to his unfaithfulness. He said: “Look, I apologize/Often womanize/Took for my child to be born to see through a woman’s eyes.”

Beyonce too sang about “Becky with good hair” on her album Lemonade a year before the release of 4:44.”He only want me when I’m not there/He better call Becky with the good hair.”

The rapper and Beyonce had intended to collaborate on an album, but instead chose to release individual records. “We were using our art almost like a therapy session. And we started making music together. And then the music she was making at that time was further along. “So, her album came out as opposed to the joint album that we were working on.”
