Everything to Know About Cardi B’s Long-Awaited Follow-Up to ‘Invasion of Privacy
It’s been nearly six years since Cardi B took over the rap world with Invasion of Privacy, and her fans are ready for the follow-up.
One such supporter is Cardi’s estranged husband, Offset, who took to Instagram on February 19 to encourage her to take the plunge. “Stop being [scared] and drop the album,” Offset captioned an Instagram Story video that showed him bobbing his head to muted music. Apparently, the music in question was Cardi’s unreleased album, and he was giving his seal of approval. “S–t goes crazy,” he wrote, adding four fire emojis.
Offset is hardly the only fan waiting for Cardi’s second album. She’s been teasing new music for years, dropping tons of singles and collabs but never confirming when a full album is dropping.
Cardi released Invasion of Privacy on April 6, 2018, nearly one year after its lead single, “Bodak Yellow,” established her as one of hip-hop’s newest stars. The album debuted atop the Billboard 200, and as of 2024, the RIAA has certified it quadruple platinum. The singles “Bodak Yellow” and “I Like It” hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.
