Cardi B fans have been waiting many years for her sophomore effort, but it looks like it’s finally almost here – if she can finalize the features!
Talking to fans on Instagram Live this week, Bardi revealed there’s a bit of a delay with the artists who are supposed to send in their verses and/or hooks for the LP. And she ever so gently gave them a nudge to get it done.
“I really need these fucking features. And it’s like I’m not really trying to press or go crazy on these artists because I love them down,” she said. “But it’s like come on now! I need that! I need that right now! Y’all don’t want to miss this opportunity. I’ll sing this shit myself! But I really need y’all and I need y’all to hurry up and I love y’all.”
Later, she said of the album: “It’s iconic! This album is so good! I put my whole pussy on it! I rapped with the bottom of my pussy! So hurry up!”
Earlier this month while talking about the album, Cardi B asserted it’s going to blow her top-selling debut, Invasion Of Privacy, out of the water.
“I know IOP is of course one of the best albums ever, but I really think my second album is beating it,” she said. “I don’t know why. I just really believe so. Nah, let me not talk. I’m not tryna get jumped by you muthafuckas!”
She previously hinted that fans can expect some big-name guests on the as-of-yet unnamed effort.
“The features on my album are really good,” she said on X Spaces. “I don’t have a lot of features but I’m working with artists, some that I have worked with before and some that I haven’t worked with before. And the ones that I have not worked with before, I feel like it’s gonna really, really surprise y’all.”
She continued: “It’s such a vibe. I’m 100 percent confident with this album. I just don’t think what I got is out there. I gave y’all some clues on my features, that’s it.”
Cardi’s initial promise that the album would arrive in 2024 came before she found out she was pregnant with her third child.
However, she’s been consistently posting from the studio since the baby arrived in September, indicating that she’s full steam ahead and will hopefully deliver on what became a newer promise of 2025.
MGK has unveiled his high energy new single “Fix Ur Face” featuring Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst.
The intense collaboration sees the rapper turned rocker dive deeper into the hard hitting sound he has been refining over the past few years.
Fusing the raw edge of 90s nu metal with Machine Gun Kelly’s modern alternative style, the track stands out as one of his most aggressive releases so far.
The song dropped alongside a bold black and white video, which premiered across MTV Live, MTVU, and the Paramount Times Square billboards.
Directed by frequent collaborator Sam Cahill, the visual was shot in several cities during mgk’s lost americana tour, including Berlin, Dublin, Düsseldorf, London, Prague, Cologne, Nashville and Los Angeles. It highlights the intensity and intimacy of touring, from packed venues and sweat drenched crowds to the blurred line between performer and fans.
The track was created with his close knit creative team, including SlimXX, BazeXX, RookXX, Nick Long, and No Love For The Middle Child, giving it a gritty and multi generational energy that sets it apart from today’s mainstream rock and rap.
Durst brings a high powered performance, channeling the same raw intensity that shaped Limp Bizkit’s early era.
The video’s look was further developed by street artists Lugosis and Strato, who painted a large mural in Berlin, while Slawn Olaolu designed the character face and jackets featured throughout the clip, adding a distinct DIY feel.
MGK first previewed “Fix Ur Face” during the European run of the lost americana tour, then later shared a snippet during shows in Australia, building strong anticipation among fans.
His relationship with Durst stretches back over a decade, with the two having performed together on multiple occasions, including mgk’s 2014 tour alongside Limp Bizkit.
The lost americana tour is now set to return to the United States, resuming on May 15 with Wiz Khalifa joining as support.
