As Cardi B inches closer to releasing a follow-up to her 2018 debut Invasion of Privacy, the Grammy Award-winning rapper is opening up about what to expect from her sophomore effort.
While speaking to Elle magazine, the 27-year-old firecracker confessed she will dive into more intimate details about her marriage to Migos member Offset, a far cry from the content found on “WAP” with Megan The Stallion. Much like Beyoncé’s 2016 masterpiece Lemonade,which tackled JAY-Z’s alleged affair and the feelings she had surrounding it, the album will go deep into Cardi’s personal life.
“My music is always going to make a woman feel like a bad bitch. When you make a woman feel like she’s the baddest bitch in the room, to me, that’s female empowerment,” she said. “But this album is going to be really different. Of course, it’s going to have my Lemonade moments, my personal relationship moments.”
As with Beyoncé and Jay, speculation around Offset’s extra marital affairs has been internet fodder for years. The Atlanta rapper has been accused numerous times of stepping out on Cardi, but he somehow wiggled his way back into her good graces every time. He addressed the allegations on his solo project Father of 4 on the track “Don’t Lose Me,” in which he apologizes for “breaking your heart, breaking our promise.”

Cardi B Says She Split With Offset — & Twitter Is Conflicted
In December 2018, Cardi announced they’d split up and Offset went to incredible lengths to win her back. Only a couple of weeks after the breakup, he surprised Cardi by crashing her Rolling Loud performance and apologizing. The couple ultimately reconciled and have continued to raise their daughter Kulture together.
“I do know that my relationship has a lot of drama and everything,” she explained in the interview. “But there’s a lot of love, there’s a lot of passion, there’s a lot of trust, there’s a big friendship. It’s always us against the world. If you all are so curious to know about my relationship and blah, blah, blah, I’m going to put it in the fuckin’ music, and you can buy it, too. I’m not going to give it to you all for free.”
