“Oh my God, I feel so special. Yeah, we fu**in’ did that sh*t,” an excited Cardi told her team.

Despite the fact that it came out five years ago, Cardi is still receiving big checks to perform her old music. “Yeah, I’m still getting booked for millions of dollars with one motherfu**ing album. Yeah, wussup, ain’t nobody can tell me nothing,” she laughed.

Released on April 6, 2018, Invasion of Privacy featured appearances from Migos, Chance the Rapper, Kehlani, SZA, 21 Savage, Bad Bunny, and more. It was certified triple platinum and spawned hits including “Bodak Yellow” and “I Like It,” earning Cardi her first Grammy for Best Rap Album.

Fans have been patiently waiting for her sophomore album, which she promised would arrive this year.
“I have no choice. I have to put it out,” she told “The Breakfast Club” in December, while admitting that her own indecisiveness has held her up. “I think I’m too much in my head about it. I feel like I’m just missing something.”
New music could arrive by the summer. Cardi has been announced as a headliner for Hot 97’s Summer Jam on June 4. But first, she will head to Thailand for Rolling Loud on April 13.
