Overview
- Cardi B confirmed the third studio album during a backstage conversation with The Breakfast Club in Las Vegas on Friday, September 18, and told hosts she expects the project to arrive in 2027.
- She said she will "ship" herself away to focus on recording after her November birthday, planning an intensive, uninterrupted studio period.
- Cardi described the work as still early, saying she has about two songs finished and that the album has a "long way to go," even as she called the effort serious.
- The rapper insisted fans will not face another multi‑year wait, saying "I'm not even playing around," and framed the project as driven by new confidence.
- No title, release date, tracklist, collaborators or label rollout have been announced, and outlets note her 2026 activity — including the single "AH HA" and recent features — as context for how the new album might be shaped and promoted.
