The announcement arrives amid growing anticipation for Cardi's second studio album.

Cardi, whose real name is Belcalis Almanzar, dropped her debut album Invasion Of Privacy in 2018. It went on to win a Grammy Award for Best Rap Album, with Cardi becoming the first female rapper to win the category as a solo artist.

The record boasted hit singles including 'I Like It', 'Be Careful', 'Bartier Cardi' and 'Drip', and features from Migos, 21 Savage, Bad Bunny, Kehlani and more.

At present, no official tracklist for Cardi B's new album has been confirmed, but her colossal 2020 single 'WAP' featuring Megan Thee Stallion could well be on the new record.
