Cardi B is already making plans for her third album, even before her highly anticipated years-in-the-making sophomore LP is out.
The Bronx bombshell took a poll seeking fan responses to the idea of her dropping a Spanish album on Sunday night (June 23), and a large majority seemed to be in favor of Cardi getting back to her roots. She took to her Instagram Story and posted the poll while in the car singing along to her Peso Pluma collaboration “Put Em in the Fridge.”
With almost 480,000 votes tallied, the results were positive, as 79 percent of the Bardi Gang want to see a full Spanish LP from the Grammy winner.
“OK AFTER MY ENGLISH ALBUM,” she wrote on Monday morning (June 24).
Billboard has reached out to Cardi’s reps for comment.
Cardi is no stranger to rapping in Spanish, as she’s dished out bilingual bars on tracks such as Ozuna’s “La Modelo” and Shakira’s “Punteria.”
It remains to be seen what this means for Cardi B’s long-awaited sophomore album. In May, she tweeted that there would be no project from her. “Anyway NO album this year I don’t care I’m relaxing this year .. Dropping these features I already committed to and traveling and enjoying my summer,” she wrote at the time. However, reps for the rapper disputed that in her Rolling Stone cover story days later.
On June 20, she teased fans by having them guess the album title of her sophomore LP, which gave the Bardi Gang hope for legitimate traction on the project.
Cardi B set the bar extremely high with her debut album, Invasion of Privacy, which she celebrated turning six years old in April.
“6 years ago I released my first album and it broke so many records GAH LEE!!” she tweeted at the time. “6 years later I’m preparing to drop the next one this year.. it’s so different from what everyone is expecting and I’m sooo excited.”
IOP debuted atop the Billboard 200 and every song on the project is at least certified platinum. She took home best rap album honors at the 2019 Grammy Awards.
