Cardi B Confirms New Album Release Despite Divorce and Pregnancy
Cardi B won’t let her marriage woes — or the bun in her oven — get in the way of her music — ’cause her album plans are still on track for this year … TMZ has learned.
Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ … Cardi’s big news Thursday — namely, the fact she’s pregnant (again) and the fact she’s headed for divorce (again) will in no way delay the release of her new album — which we’re told is still set to arrive later in 2024.
Thing is … we’re told Cardi is more than three-quarters of the way done with the project — which is interesting, because that means there’s still work to be done.
Of course, there’s still five months left to get it together — but considering Cardi’s very pregnant now and might pop soon … it begs the question on when exactly she’ll find time to complete the remaining 25%.
Nonetheless … our sources have assured us, she’s dead-set on dropping this year — which tracks with how she’s handled pregnancies in the past. As we know … Cardi has hit the stage with a baby in her belly before … so getting in the studio under the same circumstances is a walk in the park.
There’s more info we’ve learned too — including who else might appear on this record.
Our sources tell us she has recorded a crap ton of music over the course of the 6 years since her first album “Invasion of Privacy” … and it probably goes without saying, she’s collab’d with a ton of artists for features.
We’re told there will be a number of featured artists on this project — but our source wouldn’t say whether Offset was one of them. Considering she’s in the process of divorcing the guy … we wouldn’t be surprised if he gets cut.
As for whether Cardi plans to record even newer music to touch on what exactly she’s going through right now — it’s just unclear at this point … but again, she’s got time.
Her new album is highly anticipated … like we said, she hasn’t dropped a full project like this in quite a while — and aside from some singles here and there, the public is craving a proper CB album.
From the sounds of it … she’ll deliver for her fans, come hell or high water — or water-breaking, even. 😅
