Cardi B brushed off a fan-made petition demanding her long-awaited second album went viral Wednesday (May 28), prompting the rapper to jokingly announce she’s tightening her security.
A social media user shared the petition, titled “Urge Cardi B to Release Her Sophomore Album,” which appears on Change.org .
The message begged the Bronx-born star to end the seven-year drought since her debut, Invasion of Privacy , calling the wait both “exciting and agonizing.”
The petition reads in part: “Cardi B’s music speaks to so many of us, resonating with our personal experiences, joys, and struggles… We’ve danced, cried, and celebrated to her tracks, and it’s time for a new chapter in her musical journey.”
But Cardi B wasn’t moved by the heartfelt plea. Instead, she playfully fired back on X (Twitter), joking that she needs increased protection from fans.
“I’m seriously scared of yall,” she wrote, adding, “and I’m upping my security.”
The Grammy winner has been open about the delays surrounding her sophomore effort, often pointing to holdups from collaborators.
“I really need these f###### features,” she said earlier this month. “And it’s like 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. I’ll sing this s### myself! But I really need y’all.”
Still, she’s teased that the wait might be worth it. During a recent X Spaces chat, Cardi B said, “The features on my album are really impressive… I don’t have many features, but I’m collaborating with a mix of artists, some familiar and some new. The newcomers are really going to surprise you.”
