AceShowbiz - It looks like Cardi B was not too happy working under Atlantic Records. When revealing that she was back in the studio, the "WAP" hitmaker likened the record label to a correctional facility.
Making use of Instagram Story on Tuesday night, August 27, the 31-year-old shared a video of herself walking around a music studio. On top of the clip, she wrote, "Back at Atlantic records correctional facilities."
Many people on X, formerly Twitter, have since reacted to the clip. "She just like me when it's time to go to work," one user quipped, while another demanded Cardi to drop her new project, "She should've dropped when she was supposed to originally .. could've been playing the songs on the radi though the summer instead of the winter … now they have to push the music into award season instead of when it's hot."
In May, Cardi announced that she decided to pause the release of her sophomore album. It happened after fans pushed her way too much to drop the set, ruining her celebratory mood after she was honored by Spotify for having four songs with over a billion streams.
"Wooow FOUR songs that hit the billion mark on Spotify!! Women lie, men lie...numbers don't," Cardi exclaimed at the time. "I'm so excited to put out new music and reach even more milestones. Thank you everyone for listening, it really means a lot...can't wait for you to see and hear what's next."
Fans, however, expressed frustration over the album delay instead, with one writing, "No but just announce the album...let's not talk about rollouts either." Social media personality KenBarbie defended Cardi B, explaining that she has been communicative with her fans regarding her postponement.
Cardi later reacted, "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 ss…anyway NO album this year I don't care I'm relaxing this year." She went on to note, "Dropping these features I already committed to and traveling and enjoying my summer."
Doubling down in another response to a critic, Cardi wrote, "YEUP ITS NOT DONE CAUSE THERE IS NO ALBUM." She added, "Congrats you won a prize for your answer …here's your prize [middle finger emoji]."
