Cardi B to allegedly announce second album today as cryptic teaser fuels buzz

Cardi B has stirred excitement with a brief teaser video announcing a “huge announcement” scheduled for 23 June.

The rapper, known for her chart‑topping debut album Invasion of Privacy, captioned her clip: TIMES UP. I got an announcement to make tomorrow. The timing has prompted speculation that the reveal could tie into her long‑awaited sophomore album.

In the clip, the rapper wears a dramatic black gown paired with dark crows and a sleek short hairstyle.

Over the visuals, Cardi declares, "Seven years and the time has come. Seven years of love, life and loss, seven years. I gave them grace, but now I give them hell. I learned power is not given, it's taken, I'm shedding feathers and no more tears. I'm not back, I'm beyond, I'm not your villain, I'm your Karma. The time is here, the time is now. I got an announcement to make.”

Interest surrounding the announcement is compounded by Cardi’s recent musical success: her latest single, “Outside”, has climbed to number one on Apple Music in the United States.

The buzz around her next move follows several years of anticipation since her debut record certified five times platinum. 

This visual teaser hints at a creative rebirth for Cardi B, who has been navigating significant changes in her personal life.

In recent months she filed for divorce from rapper Offset, ending their high-profile relationship after years together. Now, she appears to be exploring a budding romance with NFL star Stefon Diggs, marking a new beginning in both her personal and public journey.
