Cardi B won't be dropping a deluxe or remix version of her sophomore album, but she intends to release her third album by next year.
The Grammy winner, who released her second LP, Am I the Drama?, last month, updated her Bardi Gang during an X Spaces on Monday (October 27). During the chat, Cardi said that her fans were being "annoying" about wanting more music and explained her upcoming plans.
"I see you guys asking for a deluxe or asking to do a remix album like Charli X[CX] or something," Cardi told listeners. "Unfortunately, I am not doing none of that."
After denying that she'll be dropping a deluxe or remix album, Cardi added, "What I gave y'all is what y'all getting."
Cardi did give her fans plenty with Am I The Drama?—the album is 23 songs long and runs for an hour and 11 minutes. For comparison, her debut album, 2018's Invasion of Privacy, was only 13 songs and 48 minutes total.
Cardi did reveal her other plans.
"However, I want to put out a project another album in less than a year, so I'm really planning on that," she continued. "I want a new era, I kinda know what I want it to look like. It's gonna be different from Am I the Drama?"
Cardi, who's currently expecting her fourth child, also explained her hopes not to have the same lyrical content that fans are accustomed to and to be "in a better space with men."
While prepping her third album, Cardi already has a busy 2026 ahead. The "Hello" rapper is scheduled to headline her first tour beginning in February, likely after the birth of her child, her first with boyfriend Stefon Diggs. The rapper shares three children with her estranged husband, Offset.
Regardless of the theme of her next album, Cardi is sure to be in "bad bitch" mode, which she told her followers on a previous X Spaces.
“I can't fucking wait to give birth because I have made a very strict schedule,” she said. "You see how I was in a strict schedule while I was doing the rollout? Well, that is the same way that I'm going to be when I give birth. I want to be a bad bitch. I feel really beautiful being pregnant, but I want to go back to bad bitching. So I need to tighten up my body."
