Cardi B stunts her high-end lifestyle on the new single and video "Enough (Miami)."
After days of teasing the song on TikTok, Cardi B has dropped the latest track from her upcoming sophomore album, which will follow her 2018 Grammy-winning debut, Invasion of Privacy.
Watch "Enough (Miami") below.
When Cardi delivers the line "I see my opps linkin' up" at the :42 mark of the video, she hits a pose reminiscent of the cover of Ice Spice's Like..? EP.
She follows up with these lines, "I'm like, 'What in the fuck?'/If you scared, then just say that, ho, enough is enough/They was just in my DMs, ain't no trustin' these sluts." Ice Spice has collaborated with Nicki Minaj on multiple occasions, Cardi been fueding with Nicki for years now.
After the song's release, Cardi went on Instagram Live and talked about the inspiration behind it, saying it was originally called "Cardi K" because she felt like "bitches was ganging up on me."
"The song is originally called 'And Her Name Is Cardi K' and the reason I called this song 'Cardi K' is because I did this song...I was really angry, I felt like bitches was ganging up on me," said Cardi.
"I feel like I was very like underestimated," she continued. "Even my fan base, it's big but it's a very underestimated fanbase. So Cardi K, I don't know if you know how people be like EBK, Everybody Killer, so I just felt like everybody was on some Cardi K shit. Oh ya on some Cardi Killer shit, then fuck you hoes. Fuck you bitches!"
In the song's second verse Cardi raps:
Give me one shot and I'm raising the glass
Give me two shots and I'm shaking this ass
Give me three shots and I'm ready to fuck
Five, four shots, I be ready to splash
The lines may be a reference to the viral track "One Margarita (Margarita Song)" by That Chick Angel, CasaDi Music, & Steve Terrell. That song opens with the lyrics:
Give me one margarita, I'ma open my legs
Give me two margaritas, I'ma give you some head
Give me three margaritas, I'ma put it in my puss
Give me four margaritas, I'ma put it in my tush
According to a report from Billboard, Cardi previewed the track on Zoom on Wednesday night for a group of radio hosts, DJs, and media insiders. “I hope you guys like it because right now I feel like we’re in a state of music that I don’t know what people like anymore,” she said during the event. “I come from the stripping world, y’know, so I like to make club bangers, I like to make fun music.”
The 31-year-old shared that her fans, whom she affectionately calls BardiGang, can look forward to their next surprise being her long-awaited second LP. “I took a little break, I came back on social media. I dropped a little freestyle and everything, y’know, just to wet my feet. A week later, I’m dropping this single, and the next announcement is not going to be a single, it’s gonna be an album,” she said. “I’m back outside, I’m tired of shit holding me back. It’s been six years since I’ve dropped an album, so I’m gonna drop an album this year.”
"Enough (Miami)" dropped just weeks after Cardi's previous single "Like What," which samples the 1999 Missy Elliott cut "She's a Bitch." The freestyle sent social media into a frenzy, with listeners comparing the song to "Catch Me Outside" by Ski Mask the Slump God and "I'm That Bitch" by BIA, both of which also sample "She's a Bitch." Fans caught shade being thrown on X between BIA and Cardi in the aftermath.
Back in full effect, Cardi B is showing naysayers that she isn't falling off any time soon. Stream "Enough (Miami)" on Spotify and Apple Music.
