Cardi B pays homage to Missy Elliott and Lil’ Kim in her latest music video, directed by Offset

In her latest track, Cardi B seems to address former friends who have changed their allegiance. Some speculate that she could be subtly referencing her past collaborator JT, who has since befriended Cardi’s rival Nicki Minaj. There are also theories that Cardi may be taking a swipe at Minaj regarding her recent Billboard Hot 100 achievement.

“Got your first pair of Ricks, now you stylin’? / Everything you got, I had five years before,” Bardi raps.

The song is slated to be featured on Cardi B’s highly-anticipated sophomore album, scheduled for release this year. At the conclusion of her new music video, she hints at the imminent arrival of her album with a message that reads, “This is just the beginning… stay tuned,” accompanied by a preview of her next single.

“First, that b***h hate me, then this b***h hate me/And somehow, they link up and they become friends, like, how?” Cardi B raps. “B***h, pipe down/Moodboard, all y’all imitatin’ my style.”
