Cardi B debuts new single at Spotify's Cannes event
While a snippet of Cardi B's upcoming single Outside leaked in May 2025, the rapper performed the song at Spotify's Cannes event on June 18, 2025. The track, which releases on June 20, 2025, is produced by HeyMicki and Charlie Heat.
Halfway through her performance, Cardi told the audience that she was having a bad day and that she didn't know if it was because she was "sleepy or hungry, but there’s always tomorrow.”
As per Variety's report dated June 18, 2025, debuting her upcoming single at Spotify's recent event, Cardi rapped,
“When I tell you these ni**as ain’t shit, please believe me/ They gon’ f*ck on anything, these ni**as way too easy/Good for nothing, low-down, dirty dogs, I’m convinced/Next time you see your momma, tell her how she raised a b*tch.”
Additionally, the snippet leak of Outside didn't result in Cardi panicking but rather addressing the situation calmly during a recent livestream. As per Live Bitez's post dated June 15, 2025, the female rapper talked about the snippet leak, stating,
"I don't even care much for the song, but like everybody loves it. And that's actually one of the things that my label wants, they want me to drop the song because they love the reaction [to] it. I might drop it, I might not. I don't know."
While fans anticipate the arrival of Outside, Cardi B fans also await the release of her sophomore album, which she first announced in 2021. Cardi has addressed the sophomore project multiple times this year and has also said it will release in 2025.
During an Instagram Live session in May 2025, Cardi said that the release of her sophomore album was delayed due to the collaborators on the project.
“I really need these f*cking features. And it’s like I’m not really trying to press or go crazy on these artists because I love them down. But it’s like come on now! I need that! I need that right now! Helloooo!” an impatient Cardi B said.
In other news, Cardi B posted a carousel of images of her third child and announced her name, Miss Blossom Belles, on Instagram on June 17, 2025. Cardi delivered her third child amid her divorce from Offset in September 2024.
