This week, Cardi B released a new single titled 'Enough (Miami)' along with its accompanying music video. This marks her first solo release in over five years since her debut album, Invasion of Privacy. While Cardi has made guest appearances on various tracks and collaborated with artists like Megan Thee Stallion on 'Bongos' last year, she admitted to taking a step back from releasing music in 2023.
During a recent interview on 360 With Speedy, Cardi opened up about her hiatus, citing feelings of losing herself amidst the pressures of the music industry. She revealed that comments from critics and the public about her reluctance to drop new music had contributed to her apprehension. Cardi expressed that she had developed fears around engaging with her fans, whether through live streams, social media posts, or public appearances.
Despite recording a remix of Ice Spice's 'Munch' in the previous year, Cardi decided against releasing it due to her dissatisfaction with how she sounded on the track. She explained that adapting to the drill beat style presented challenges, and she was concerned about potential backlash from listeners.
While Cardi maintained a presence on social media throughout her musical break, she admitted to being more cautious about the topics she discusses. She mentioned her interest in political conversations but expressed weariness over the possibility of facing constant criticism and scrutiny online.
Cardi's candid revelations shed light on the personal struggles she faced during her hiatus and the impact of public perception on her decision-making process. Despite her concerns, fans can now enjoy her latest single and video, signaling a return to the spotlight for the acclaimed artist.
