Cardi B Reflects on Opening Doors for Female Rappers and Teases Sophomore Album

Cardi B, the Bronx superstar who took the music world by storm with her hit song “Bodak Yellow” in 2017, recently opened up about her influence on the rap scene in a cover story for Rolling Stone. The Grammy-winning artist claimed that she paved the way for other female rappers to dominate the industry the way they are now.

In the interview, Cardi revealed that record labels were initially hesitant to sign new female rap artists until she proved her worth with her chart-topping success. She confidently stated, “I know for a fact I’m a staple. I know for a fact that I opened a fucking door. I know for a fact that I can rap. I know for a fact I make fucking hits.”

Despite her undeniable impact, Cardi has yet to release a follow-up to her debut album, “Invasion of Privacy,” which earned her a Grammy for Best Rap Album in 2019. Fans have been eagerly awaiting her sophomore project, with Cardi teasing that it will arrive in 2024.

While the release date for the album remains uncertain, Cardi has already given fans a taste of what to expect with singles like “Enough (Miami)” and “Like What (Freestyle).” Although she recently expressed frustration over fans pressuring her for new music, her representatives have confirmed that an album is still in the works.

As Cardi continues to solidify her status as a rap icon, anticipation is high for her upcoming project, which promises to showcase her undeniable talent and chart-topping potential once again.
