Cardi B is back with a new song, "Like What (Freestyle)," and it seems she has a lot to get off her chest. The Bronx rapper also drops a video for the track.
On Friday (March 1), Cardi B officially returned with "Like What (Freestyle)," her first new song since she put out "Bongos" featuring Megan Thee Stallion back in 2023. The new track most notably samples Missy Elliott's 1999 hit "She’s a B***h." Cardi uses the freestyle to unleash what's been on her mind.
"Ayo, let me throw some gas on this muthaf**kin’ year, b***h. I ain’t really talked my s**t in a minute. Who the f**k these b****es really think they talking to? B***h, is you f**king dumb?" Card says in the intro.
On the song, Bardi aims her acidic lyrics at detractors who hate on her and wish for her downfall.
"Uh, keep a hater obsessed/In my comment havin' a d**k suckin' contest (Contest)/I'm pressure, y'all pressed (Y'all pressed)/Y'all don't get addressed, y'all's gettin' outdressed, look (Ooh)," she spits on the track.
In the music video below, which was directed by Offset, Cardi walks around in several bikini-style outfits—which show off her bodacious figure—in a glass-covered mansion and other various set pieces.
The new song arrives after Cardi B fans began sharing missing person posters on social media of Bardi leading to speculation that she could be starting the rollout for her ever-elusive sophomore album. According to the poster, Cardi was reportedly last seen on Jan. 1, 2024, in Miami. The fan page also included the hashtag #WhereIsCardi, which fans could tag on their social media posts.
Since then, she has been teasing her new release. This may mean the follow-up to her Grammy award-winning debut album Invasion of Privacy will arrive sometime in 2024.
