Cardi B’s next album is one of the most anticipated and long-awaited releases in mainstream hip-hop… and we’re well aware that the title sounds familiar. Nonetheless, she recently gave fans an update on the album’s progress, saying that she had taken photos of the album cover but couldn’t decide which one to use. This is one of the most concrete realizations we’ve received recently about this sophomore record, and one of the only ones that has nothing to do with its release date. While fans are still foaming at the mouth over the final decision, it should still get die-hard supporters excited.
Unfortunately, these days are surprisingly tough for Cardi B, as she recently opened up about a “freak accident” that nearly jeopardized her pregnancy. “I’m doing great, really great,” she told social media followers of her pelvic injury. “Working out, putting my fucking clothes together, I have so much energy. Now I’m miserable as a motherfucker. I can’t fucking wear heels, I can’t fucking stand up, I can’t do it. Everything.” It was going great and now he’s injured and the thing is, I’m not even a klutz and I’m not a klutz and I screwed my brother over.

Elsewhere, Cardi B also said it had been her “easiest pregnancy yet”, despite the sleepless nights and her baby’s kicks. “If anyone knows where I can buy maternity waist trainers, maternity clothing, please let me know,” she asked her Instagram Live audience. “Oh my God, it’s not really because of my belly that my butt isn’t falling off. Of course, I just don’t want my butt to fall off.”
Meanwhile, Cardi B teased another update about her new album involving a possible title. It’s clear she’s teasing a lot out bit by bit, giving fans at least the illusion of being involved in the process. We’ll see how this plays out, as the Buddy Gang hopes it arrives sooner than later.
