Cardi B fans are feverishly anticipating the femcee’s sophomore album and have been for a while.

And it’s easy to digest why.

The rapper blazed a trail with chart-topper ‘Bodak Yellow’ and its multi-Platinum parent album ‘Invasion Of Privacy’ – which was released back in 2018.

She’s also racked up GRAMMYs and a growing list of Billboard hits.

Suffice to say, she’s more than whet appetites for her second studio effort. Which begs the question: where is it?

Well, a new report appears to shine light on the behind the scenes happenings that may explain the elongated wait.

Tekashi 6ix9ine amassed his fair share of enemies while behind bars (a feat that’s earned him quite the reputation for “snitching”), but since his unexpected release it doesn’t look like he’s on the road to gaining many friends on this side of lockdown.

First beefing with Meek Mill and later Drake (as we reported here), now the 24-year-old has his sights set on Justin Bieber and Ariana Grande as the Scooter Braun-managed duo could potentially best him for next week’s #1 spot on the Hot 100.
