Cardi has been hard at work on her long-awaited sophomore album, which she expects to release at some point in 2024. During a recent interview with Gillie and Wallo on Million Dollaz Worth Of Game, she explained that she doesn’t plan on collaborating with Rihanna, who has also kept fans waiting for new music for years. “I love Rihanna’s music. But, I don’t [make] music like that,” she explained. “I sound kinda stupid trying to sing like that. I sound stupid trying to make music like that. So, if I ever get that perfect record, I can not wait until I feel like, ‘This song…I know she’s going to like it.’ I don’t want to send her nothing like, ‘Ho, what the f*ck is this sh*t? Take this thing out of my face.’”
