Cardi B isn’t having it with anyone playing with her 2025 Met Gala photos to make her appear less appealing, and quickly fired back with undeniable receipts.

Taking to X with a no-makeup selfie video, Bardi shut down her haters.

“Am I really that bad of a bitch that y’all always gotta edit my pictures to fake try to humble me wit insults on this app?” she wrote. “Anyways no filter, no makeup, just me and this wig I had on for days. THANK YOU!!”

In addition to shutting down carpets at events like the prestigious Met Gala, Cardi B is also hard at work on her long-awaited sophomore effort – if she can finalize the features!

Talking to fans on Instagram Live last 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!”

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.”

ICEMAN is already shaping up to be one of Drake’s most debated releases yet. Still, a few records stand out no matter where people land on the project. “2 Hard 4 The Radio” is definitely one of them. On the track, Drake fires back at the criticism he has faced from Kendrick Lamar while leaning into a West Coast inspired sound, especially during the second half of the song, to drive the message home. The production sticks with you, and Drake sounds locked in from start to finish. Whether listeners agree with his perspective or not is another conversation entirely. In the end, it is one of those songs you have to hear for yourself and make your own judgment on.

Release Date: May 15, 2026

Genre: Hip-Hop

Album: ICEMAN

Quotable Lyrics from 2 Hard 4 The Radio

To talk bad about you pussies, I don't like you fools
Got an Oakland show tonight, baby
My young boys from The Yoc goin' crazy
I'm on a bridge with a tank of unleade
