Cardi B likened Atlantic Records to a “correctional facility” in a post on her Instagram Story on Tuesday night. “Back at Atlantic records correctional facilities,” she captioned a video of herself walking around a music studio. The post quickly began circulating online with fans joking about how long it’s taking for her to finish her long-awaited sophomore album.
“She just like me when it’s time to go to work” one user joked on X (formerly Twitter). Others argued that she should’ve just dropped the album already. One wrote: “She should’ve dropped when she was supposed to originally .. could’ve been playing the songs on the radi though the summer instead of the winter … now they have to push the music into award season instead of when it’s hot.”

Cardi has confirmed that her album will be dropping at some point in 2024 on multiple occasions. Speaking with Rolling Stone back in the spring, she claimed that she wouldn’t be returning home until it was done. “Until I have the album ready, I’m not going home,” she said at the time. “I’m a different person every single day. When I’m in a good mood and I’m with my friends, [I’m] like, ‘Damn, I want my sh*t to be played in this club.’ But then I might be mad with my man, so it’s like now I want to do this song. But then I want to do a pop record. I want to do my sing-y sh*t.”
