Cardi B is a true hustler. The hard-working rapper just dropped a brand new song with Fat Joe and Anuel AA, and the track has fans screaming Yes!”
Talk about timing. Less than two hours after Nicki Minaj announced that she was “retiring” from the rap game, Cardi B, 26, said she was releasing a brand new song! Not one to go back on her word, the Hustlers star followed through on Sept. 6, releasing, “YES,” her collaboration with rap legend Fat Joe, 49, and the pride of Puerto Rico, Anuel AA, 26. The track had fans saying – appropriately enough – “yes!” Or, “yaaaaaaaasss, queen!”
Fat Joe takes over the first 1:20 of the song then Cardi rages in with the lines “Never been stressed by a ho, no/Never been pressed by a bitch/Murder and the money on my mind/Ive calling on my trigger finger itch bitch.” She finishes her bars and Anuel AA comes in with his in Spanish. One fan took to Twitter and loved Cardis bar “BEEN RUNNIN SH*T AND STILL AINT OUTTA BREATH, I CAN LAY A VERSE AND LAY THESE HOES TO REST!!” #Yes.” Another fan tweeted “#Yes is PERFECT!!!!” while one person pointed out “The beat is so fire!! I love that they sampled Aguanile, Ive never heard that song being sampled before! Im so proud!”
Whether or not this song appears on the Hustlers soundtrack remains to be seen. IMDB currently doesnt list it as among the songs associated with the upcoming movie. But, since Cardi is involved in the film – she stars in it alongside Jennifer Lopez, Constance Wu and Lizzo — it would make sense that one of her songs makes it to the official soundtrack, right? If anything, “Yes” will now be the soundtrack to the club, especially after Cardi gave it such a ringing endorsement. “Im excited for this record because I really love this song …The beat is Fireee,” she tweeted when announcing the new collab. She echoed that statement on Instagram, saying that her new song is “soo fireeeeeee.”
Cardis announcement came literally hours after her heated rival, Nicki Minaj, 26, peaced out on her career. “Ive decided to retire and have my family,” she tweeted at 2:20 PM ET (Cardis tweet came at 4:04 PM ET.) “I know you guys are happy now. To my fans, keep reppin me. Do it till da death of me. [X] in the box cuz aint nobody checkin me. Love you for LIFE.” Nickis retirement was met with disbelief from her dedicated fans (aka the Barbz.) Most doubted the sincerity of her statement, while others said that her retirement “aint funny. Im not prepared for this right now.”
With Hustlers set for a Sept. 13 release date, Cardis new song being released on the heels of Nickis retirement might just be a case of an odd coincidence. If anyone accuses her
