I’ve been having anxiety because I know once the album drops, I have to go out on tour,” Cardi explained during her candid Instagram sessions. “Making music has become like a job,” she elaborated, expressing the overwhelming expectations and critique surrounding her work.
During her appearance on The Joe Budden Podcast earlier this summer, Cardi was even more candid. She expressed frustration over continuous comparisons to other female rappers, which only added to her creative blocks.
So, what can fans expect next from Cardi? The upcoming album remains untitled as of now, but Cardi previously hinted at its release coming soon.
