Cardi B has big plans for 2025, from a new album to a romantic conquest.
In a clip from a recent Instagram livestream hosted by the rapper, Cardi tells fans that she’s been “wilding out lately” but wants to “get [her] f–king life together.” “I have so much things coming next year,” she continued. “I know next year is gonna be my f–king year.”
The Bronx native went on to share her to-do list for the new year: “My album will be out. My secret businesses will be out. Hopefully next year I get a little boyfriend.”
Billboard has reached out to Cardi’s rep for comment.
Fans have been waiting on a new LP from Cardi for well over half a decade at this point, with 2018’s Billboard 200-topping debut album Invasion of Privacy remaining the entirety of her discography six and a half years later. She previously teased in October that her sophomore effort was “coming really, really soon” and confirmed that she was actively working on it in the studio.
But, as Cardi pointed out in her livestream, she’s been quite busy these past few years — 2024 in particular. On the personal front, she welcomed her third baby in September, just a couple weeks after filing for divorce for a second time from Offset. The exes — who have put each other on blast on social media multiple times since their spit — are also parents to daughter Kulture and son Wave.
On the professional front, the “WAP” artist has been spearheading her Whipshots business in between releasing a number of singles this year, including “Like What (Freestyle),” “Enough (Miami),” “Puntería” with Shakira and “Wanna Be” with Megan Thee Stallion and GloRilla.
“This has been the most rudest year I’ve ever experienced,” Cardi summarized on her Live. “I don’t know what the f–k happened this year. I can’t even tell you. A b—h got knocked up, a b—h f–king fell in love, then fell out of love, then got a divorce … I’m going through a very different transition in my f–king life.”
Cardi has also been active in politics this year, championing Democratic candidate Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election and speaking at one of the VP’s final campaign rallies Nov. 1. When Harris ended up losing to Donald Trump, the rapper shared a lengthy message on Instagram, writing, “To Vice President Kamala, no matter what they’ve said to bring you down or belittle your run for presidency they can never say you didn’t run your race with honesty and with integrity!”
“This may not mean much but I am so proud of you!” she added at the time. “No one has ever made me change my mind, and you did! I never thought I would see the day that a woman of color would be running for the President of the United States, but you have shown me, shown my daughters and women across the country that anything is possible.”
