INVASION OF PRIVACY

Cardi B Celebrates “Invasion Of Privacy” Turning 6 Years Old, Teases New Album This Year

by

Six years ago, on April 6, Cardi B dropped her debut studio album Invasion Of Privacy, and it was an instant massive hit. Bolstered by fiery and beloved singles like “Bodak Yellow,” the album cinched a No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200 chart, nabbed Best Rap Album at the 2019 Grammys, and had plenty of great songs to hold fans over. We mention that because it’s been radio silent from her on the full-length front since that release, although she’s promised that this will change very soon. Moreover, the Bronx rapper took to her Instagram Story on Saturday (April 6) to celebrate the occasion and double down on the promise of a new project in 2024.

“6 years ago I released my first album and it broke so many records GAH LEE!!” Cardi B expressed on the social media platform about Invasion Of Privacy‘s six-year anniversary. “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. Love you guys and thank you for the support! I’ll talk to ya soon I been so busy these last few days [red heart emojis].”

Cardi B Reflects On 6-Year Anniversary Of Invasion Of Privacy: Read

Furthermore, Cardi B has been relatively quiet online when it comes to her fan interactions, although there was some recent drama brewing in her mentions. A conversation around racial ambiguity roped content creator Raymonté in this time around, and this recent instance reflects a larger debate around Black and Latine communities. Specifically, she took issue with so many people not only misrepresenting her Latin American roots, but invalidating them in the face of other heritages. It’s a complex conversation with a lot of gray area, and one that is much larger than any one artist.

However, the good news is that this also resulted in a surprising confirmation for some fans: Bardi and Nicki Minaj loyalist Ice Spice are actually on good terms. They bonded over their Dominican heritage in this case and shut down any and all beef rumors between them. Hopefully these conflict lines can become clearer (and less frequently drawn) within the rap world in the near future. For more news and the latest updates on Cardi B and her next moves, stay posted on HNHH.

Cardi B Breaks Silence With New Song Snippet After Fans Think She’s Gone “Missing”

by

Cardi B might be gearing up for her highly-anticipated second album, at least that’s what fans think. Over the weekend, the rapper left BardiGang startled after she was MIA for a few days, leading to the launch of the #WhereIsCardiB campaign. Thankfully, it seems as though all is well with the Bronx MC and new music could actually be on the way shortly. Although she hasn’t necessarily been active on socials as of late, she reposted a Reel from @cardiallaccess, a fan page on Instagram, who shared the snippet with the caption reading, “After the anonymous tip we believe we may have located Cardi B. Check in tomorrow for a special update,” along with the hashtag #CardiCountdown.

So far, there isn’t much information to go off of outside of the snippet. The brief teaser sounded rather promising, as she raps, “Only L I take comes after YS, oh man.” Sure, it’s not much to base it on but after songs like 2023’s “Bongos” and her appearance on Latto’s “Put It On The Floor,” it feels like 2024 deserves to have new music from Cardi B. After all, we’re slowly approaching the sixth anniversary of her debut album, Invasion Of Privacy.

Cardi B Is Found!

Part of the reason her fans launched the #WhereIsCardi campaign. Over the weekend, images surfaced of missing posters of Cardi B after she blacked out all of her social media profile pictures. Naturally, some fans were concerned but many also took it as a sign that an album rollout might be on the way. While Cardi’s continued to keep fans updated on the status of the project over the past few years, she hasn’t shared any concrete details surrounding what we could expect from her. However, Offset recently urged her to drop her forthcoming album.

Speaking of Offset, we could imagine a new album provides an excellent opportunity for Cardi B to set the record straight, especially as it pertains to her family life. She and Offset have called it quits, though they’ve been spotted together since with the “WAP” MC even admitting that they slept together after breaking up. We’ll keep you posted on any more updates. For now, press play on the snippet above. Do you think Cardi B has a hit on her hands? Let us know in the comment section below.

Could the wait be over? The wait for Cardi B’s long-awaited sophomore album that is. Today (February 26), the “Wap” rapper’s time of anxiously dragging her feet might have come to an end, and her fans couldn’t be more excited.

Cardi pulled out the good ‘ol social media wipe to lure followers in. A screenshot captured by news aggregator Pop Base revealed that Cardi replaced her profile images from Instagram and X’s (formerly Twitter) page. She even took it a step further by blacking out her banner image on X as well.

Immediately after the blackout, Cardi’s devoted superfans, Bardi Gang, began to flood X, which led the phrase, Bardi Blackout, to trend across the platform. Back in December, supporters pushed We Want Cardi into the app’s algorithm after buzz for Cardi’s collaboration with Megan Thee Stallion (“Bongos“) started to die out.

Despite her promise to release a follow-up in 2023, it’s been radio silent. But she could be on the verge of making it up to fans very soon. According to her husband and fellow rapper Offset, Cardi’s forthcoming music will put her back on top.

Cardi B’s journey to fame and fortune began in the Bronx, New York, where she was born and raised. The rapper’s upbringing was not an easy one, as she faced many challenges and hardships, including poverty and domestic violence. To make ends meet, she turned to stripping, a job that she says saved her from a life of abuse and potential ruin. While working as a stripper, Cardi also began to gain a following on social media, which would ultimately propel her to the top of the music industry.

Pardison Fontaine & Cardi B Still Collaborate, He Recalls Giving Her “Be Careful”

by

During a recent appearance on The Breakfast Club, Pardison Fontaine recalled providing Cardi B with her Invasion Of Privacy track, “Be Careful.” According to him, she knew it was meant to be upon first listen, later making it her own for her debut album. He opened up about his writing process, revealing that the two of them still work together to this day.

“I do it well,” he began. “So I feel like now is the time I really gotta just show that and talk about it.” Pardi continued, explaining how he wrote the song from a woman’s perspective, noting that his verse was initially going to be his response. “She heard the song and was like, ‘I need this,’” he described. “‘I’m taking this.’ She did her thing, flipped it around, all of that.”

Cardi B Knew She Wanted The Song Right Away

Cardi isn’t the only female MC Pardi’s worked with in the past, however. He’s also previously collaborated with the likes of Sexyy Red, and of course, his ex Megan Thee Stallion. The duo worked on her “Savage Remix” as well as her track with Cardi B, “WAP.” Ultimately, things between them didn’t work out, which he says was due to “a laundry list of reasons.” Elsewhere in the interview, he opened up about their split, sharing his take on the controversial public breakup.

“Listen, I’m a person that believes love doesn’t go away,” he explained. “It changes. And that’s another thing I’ve stated. I’ll always want well for her. I’m not a person that wants bad for her. I’m not out here calling her all types of such and such.” What do you think of Pardison Fontaine’s account of working alongside Cardi B?

Cardi B’s “Invasion Of Privacy” Charts Following Nicki Minaj’s “Pink Friday 2” Release

by

Today, Nicki Minaj unveiled her eagerly-anticipated new album, Pink Friday 2. The LP boasts various high-profile features from the likes of J. Cole, Lil Uzi Vert, Future, Lil Wayne, and more. So far, the Barbz are satisfied with what Nicki’s come through with after months of teasing, however, it also seems to have invoked the fanbase of one of her longtime rivals, Cardi B.

Shortly after Nicki released her new album, Cardi B’s album Invasion of Privacy began to climb the charts once again. Her 2018 debut is surely a fan favorite, however, this appears to be less than coincidental. Their fanbases are known to go head-to-head regularly, and Cardi’s supporters may be trying to bolster her amid the success of Nicki’s latest project.

Invasion Of Privacy Going Head To Head With Pink Friday 2

This wouldn’t come as too much of a surprise, as the Barbz have already been speculating that Cardi was trying to sabotage her release with faux relationship drama. Earlier this week, both Cardi B and her husband Offset posted vague references to trust in relationships, leading to speculation that they’ve gone their separate ways. They’ve yet to confirm this. “You know sometimes you just outgrow relationships,” Cardi wrote. “I’m tired of protecting people’s feelings… I GOTTA PUT MYSELF FIRST.” 

Offset went on to post a clip from Scarface, which shows Al Pacino’s character saying, “Hey, f*ck you, man! Who put this thing together? Me. That’s who. Who do I trust? Me.” Almost immediately, fans started speculating that the whole thing was a hoax to distract from “Nicki week.” What do you think of Cardi B’s 2018 debut album Invasion of Privacy reentering the charts following the release of Nicki Minaj’s Pink Friday 2? How are you liking Nicki’s new album so far? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Why Is ‘We Want Cardi’ Trending On X (Twitter)?

Today (December 8) is Nicki Minaj’s day. It’s her birthday. It’s Pink Friday 2 release day. The Barbz are thriving in Gag City, and Cardi B’s fans are happily raining on their parade. Clearly, they didn’t get the memo from Beyoncé and Taylor Swift that powerful women don’t have to be pitted against each other.

On X (formerly known as Twitter), #WeWantCardi is trending. There are several potential reasons as to why that is trending. First, stanning is a full-time job. But also, Cardi B still hasn’t dropped her follow-up to 2018’s Invasion Of Privacy, and patience is running thin.

Why Is ‘We Want Cardi’ Trending On Twitter?

An initial cursory scroll through the #WeWantCardi trending topic would suggest that the Bardigang are relishing in the perception that Pink Friday 2 is “flopping” (their word, not mine). Some are claiming that Invasion Of Privacy is superior to Pink Friday 2 — and Cardi, the superior rapper — going out of their way to stream Invasion Of Privacy and (seemingly) prevent Pink Friday 2 from ascending the charts, or at least revive Invasion Of Privacy so Cardi is right next to Minaj on the charts.

According to the X fan account @CardiBCaviar, the goal was to “bring Invasion Of Privacy to No. 1 on iTunes,” and as of this writing, it had reentered the top 10 in the US (per Chart Data). See some of the posts below.

In the past, talking about her highly-anticipated sophomore album in public would invocate extreme anxiety for Cardi B. However, with the release of her latest single, “Bongos” with Megan Thee Stallion, she’s increasingly becoming more confident.

Today (September 11), during her appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, Cardi B even shared another nugget of information regarding the forthcoming project. When asked about future touring plans by the host and when her album would be made available to the public, Cardi gave a direct answer.

“[I will tour] as soon as I finish my album,” shared Cardi. She later added, “The album will be done this year. And it will be put out next year.”

This may not be the detailed response most fans are looking for, but it sure beats nothing. When the show opened the line for viewers to call in, another caller inquired about Cardi’s long-teased collaboration with rap legend Lil Kim.

“I really do want [a collaboration with Lil Kim]. I’m going through the songs on my album right now… I want us to have such a great, undeniable song because I know people are going to judge it and be so harsh of it. So, I want to make sure it is the greatest song. But I would love, love, love to do a song with Lil Kim. I love her. And not because she’s Lil Kim but because she’s such a nice person,” said Cardi.

Cardi B is set to perform at the 2023 VMAs tomorrow (September 12). Who knows, maybe she will share another album announcement onstage.

Cardi B Is Motivated To Release New Music Following Summer Jam

by

Despite the speculation and mild drama that occurred after Summer Jam, Cardi B’s found a new sense of inspiration to release new music. It’s been over five years since her Grammy-winning debut album, Invasion Of Privacy hit DSPs and fans have been longing for her sophomore album. She’s unveiled a handful of singles in the past few years including “WAP” ft. Megan Thee Stallion and “Up” but she hasn’t really unveiled a ton of new music recently. Instead, she’s delivered a handful of guest features.

Most recently, she linked up with Latto for “Put It On The Floor Again,” which she performed during her headlining slot at Summer Jam 2023. However, it seems like the return to the Tri-State Area inspired her to release new music. Cardi delivered an impressive set that included appearances from 21 Savage, Dougie B and her Memphis cousin, GloRilla. Unfortunately, she didn’t debut any new music but it seems as though she’s ready to return to the booth.

Don’t pay attention to the negativity, when the hate don’t work they start telling lies. I’m on a high right now,” she said.
