Fans have been wanting Cardi B to release the song as a single for her long-awaited sophomore studio album.

Cardi B says she’s not going to release the single, “Outside,” which fans have theorized is a shot at her estranged husband, Offset. She discussed the viral reaction to the track as well as her plan for her upcoming sophomore album on Instagram Live.

“I don’t know if I really wanna put that song out, to be honest with you. And it’s not because I’m doubting myself and this, this, and that. I’m really, really grateful for all the love. It was never the plan. I don’t think I wanna put out a single to be honest with you. I just wanna put out my album all at the same time.” She added that she’s filming a music video “in a couple of weeks,” but that it won’t be for “Outside.”

When Live Bitez shared the clip on Instagram, fans were not happy in the comments section. “Ngl I love her so bad but I’m starting to feel the fans when they say she BS with this album 6 years tho girl,” one user wrote. Another added: “I love Cardi but you need to listen to YOUR FANS cause without them you wouldn’t have a job……. If they liked it why not give them what they want ? Especially being that you’re delaying the album… Doesn’t make sense to me but I guess.”

Cardi has struggled to release her long-awaited sophomore album, most recently complaining about unfinished features. “I really need these f*cking features,” Cardi said on Instagram Live, last month, as caught by Rolling Stone. “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. Y’all don’t want to miss this opportunity.” It’ll be her first album since 2018’s Invasion of Privacy.

Cardi B New Song“Outside” isn’t the only drama involving Cardi B and Offset. After Cardi went public with her relationship with Stefon Diggs, last month, Offset took several shots at the couple on social media. “Good roll out n PR. Today I pass,” he wrote on X (formerly Twitter) in response to their announcement.

Diggs eventually got matching braids with Offset’s son, Wave, which infuriated the rapper even more. “Now when somebody die for playing with my son then call me the crash out,” Offset wrote on X. In a follow-up post, he added: “Idc how I look trolling wit my kid ends bad.”

Cardi B Surprises Stefon Diggs’ Youth Football Camp In Maryland With A Visit

Cardi B and Stefon Diggs have been slowly building their relationship for months now, but they only recent went public.

Cardi B has all the reason in the world to want to hole up and not deal with the outside world. A nasty divorce from the father of her kids, Offset, adds onto big career pressures and the trappings of fame. But love makes it all worth it, and she’s been having a great time with NFL star Stefon Diggs.

The couple recently went public, and according to AllHipHop, they are supporting each other’s endeavors whenever they can. The New York femcee recently popped out at the Diggs Day Football Camp in College Park, Maryland on Saturday (June 7).

The youth-focused community event takes place annually at the University of Maryland, the state native’s alma mater. Diggs gives local children, coaches, and community leaders opportunities to connect, hone their skills, and come together in the name of good sportsmanship, skill, growth, and camaraderie.

Michael Locksley, the University of Maryland’s football head coach for the Terrapins, posted a picture with Cardi on social media. “Welcome to #Terpsville @iamcardib @TerpsFootball #DiggsDay #Stef #Elevate,” he captioned the post. It was a surprise for most everyone involved, although she didn’t speak or take over the event or anything like that. Instead, Cardi was just there to support, which is always wholesome to see.

Cardi B “Outside” Song

Stefon Diggs is playing big for the New England Patriots these days, so the NFL wide receiver also uses his youth football camp to stay in community with his roots. Diggs Day’s focus on mentoring the next generation of athletes and community leaders through training drills and motivational exchanges will likely be one of his longest-lasting legacies.

Elsewhere, though, Cardi B took a break from the drama. This football camp outing paused her ongoing conflicts with Offset over their nasty public break-up and divorce proceedings.

In fact, it seems like this might even spill over onto wax. Cardi recently teased a track on social media that most fans are referring to as “Outside.” In it, she references men who “f**k on anything” and talks about being cuffed for too long, which seems to allude to the former Migo. We’ll see how that plays out moving forward…
