As anticipation for Cardi B‘s yet-titled sophomore album mounts, the Rap diva’s fans – affectionately called #BardiGang – are still spinning her jams from yesterday to tide them over in the meantime.

Just four months ago those ongoing streams and sales hoisted the Hip-Hop hitmaker (born Belcalis Almánzar) into the history books of the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) when her singles ‘I Like It’ and ‘Bodak Yellow’ hit 11x Platinum apiece and tied for highest-certified female Rap singles of all time.

More recently, the tunes’ 2018-released parent album, ‘Invasion of Privacy,‘ invaded the RIAA’s history books for another honor.

“Oh, girl, oh, damn / You’re back in this **** again / Chillin’ with some guy who ain’t gon’ hear / Talkin’ shhh ’bout your same old friends,” he raps on the sizzling track. “OK, ask yourself, doesn’t that ever get old? / Like, doesn’t all that tea get old? / You’re way too fine for that / Who’s finna take you home? / ’Cause you’re not gonna leave with him.”

Tagging Tinashe in for the chorus, hop inside to hear the chemistry between the two performers on the infectious tune.
