Cardi B teases new song featuring a Janet Jackson sample – NME

‘Y’all like this vibe for ‘CB2’?”
Cardi B has teased a new song that features a Janet Jackson sample.
On July 1, the ‘WAP’ rapper took to Instagram, where she posted a video snippet of a new song to her Instagram Stories. Sampling Janet Jackson’s ‘Funny How Time Flies (When You’re Having Fun)’, the snippet sees Cardi trade in her usual energetic rap verses for subdued singing: “I hope that you on your way / Crazy ’bout you / Waiting on you, can’t wait to sit on that face / Focused on you.”
She also wrote: ‘Y’all like this vibe for ‘CB2’?”
The snippet has since expired from Cardi B’s stories, but you can see a recording of it on X below.

‘CB2’ is the working title for Cardi B’s long-awaited sophomore album. While the album has yet to be announced officially, – and doesn’t have a release date in sight – Cardi has been teasing for some time now that she’s been hard at work on the project, and has teased that it will come out at some point this year.
In the years since releasing her debut album, Cardi has kept busy with a selection of singles, most notably ‘Please Me’ with Bruno Mars in 2019, ‘Up’ in 2021 and ‘WAP’ in 2020 with Megan Thee Stallion.
Cardi B’s 2018 debut album ‘Invasion Of Privacy’ scored a four-star review from NME, with Nick Levine writing: “This is a remarkably confident and compelling debut from a superstar who’s put in the graft. “My little 15 minutes lasting long as hell, huh?” she boasts nonchalantly on final track ‘I Do’. On this evidence, it’s going to last a lot longer yet.”
