Cardi B has her sights set on a transformative year in 2025, planning not only to drop her long-awaited sophomore album but also to embark on new business ventures—and maybe even spark a new romance. The Bronx-born rapper shared her candid reflections and ambitions during a recent Instagram livestream, where she revealed her intentions to “get [her] f–king life together” after what she described as a tumultuous 2024.
“I have so much coming next year,” Cardi told her fans. “I know next year is gonna be my f–king year.” She detailed her to-do list for 2025, which includes releasing her highly anticipated album, launching undisclosed business projects, and possibly finding a new boyfriend.
A Long Wait for New Music
Fans have been eagerly waiting for Cardi B’s second album ever since her debut, Invasion of Privacy, topped the Billboard 200 in 2018. While Cardi has teased its arrival several times, including in October when she said it was “coming really, really soon,” the project has yet to materialize. During the livestream, she acknowledged the delay, emphasizing how busy her life has been in recent years.
A Year of Personal and Professional Highs and Lows
Cardi’s 2024 has been eventful, both personally and professionally. She welcomed her third child in September, just weeks after filing for divorce from her husband, Offset, for the second time. The two, who share daughter Kulture and son Wave, have had a rocky relationship, often making headlines for their public disputes on social media.
In addition to motherhood, Cardi has been juggling multiple professional projects. This year, she released a string of singles, including collaborations like “Puntería” with Shakira and “Wanna Be” featuring Megan Thee Stallion and GloRilla. She also focused on expanding her Whipshots business, a line of vodka-infused whipped cream, which has gained traction in the market.
Reflecting on the challenges of the past year, Cardi described 2024 as “the rudest year” she has ever experienced. “I don’t know what the f–k happened this year,” she said. “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.”
Political Advocacy Amid Personal Struggles
Cardi also remained politically active in 2024, campaigning for Democratic candidate Kamala Harris during her presidential bid. The rapper even spoke at one of Harris’ final rallies before her eventual loss to Donald Trump. After the election, Cardi posted a heartfelt message on Instagram, praising Harris for her integrity and for inspiring women of color across the nation.
“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 integrity,” she wrote. Cardi’s post highlighted her admiration for Harris and the impact her campaign had on young women, including her own daughters.
Looking Ahead to 2025
Despite the rollercoaster of 2024, Cardi is optimistic about the year ahead. She hopes to balance her personal life and professional ambitions, starting with the release of her new album. Whether she finds a boyfriend or not, one thing is certain: Cardi is determined to make 2025 her year.
As fans wait for more details about her upcoming music and secret ventures, Cardi B continues to prove she’s not just a rapper but a dynamic force navigating life’s highs and lows with unapologetic honesty.
