Cardi B Breakdown: Label Considering Dropping Her Amidst Struggles
Cardi B is facing some serious challenges in her career right now. Rumors are circulating that her record label is considering dropping her due to poor financial returns. It’s been about seven years since Cardi dropped her highly successful debut album, Invasion of Privacy, and the pressure from her label is mounting. They’ve reportedly grown frustrated with the lack of album sales and are tired of investing in her without seeing much return.
But is Cardi really on the verge of a career collapse, or is this just a rough patch? Fans have been dragging her online, calling her a “flop” and accusing her of being a “one-hit wonder.” Cardi, known for her fiery personality, has had enough of the criticism and has been lashing out at fans, especially those who’ve been questioning her long-delayed second album. Fans are frustrated with the years of promises, with Cardi continuously teasing the album but never delivering. She recently announced that the album would be pushed back yet again, claiming that summer album releases typically struggle to perform well. Her fans weren’t having it, accusing her of making excuses, and Cardi’s response wasn’t pretty.
Cardi’s not just facing backlash from fans but also from influential figures like Rob Big Rob, who criticized her for not releasing an album. Cardi fired back, saying that if he wanted to hear her music so badly, he could come to her studio sessions instead of running his mouth. It’s clear that Cardi is under a lot of pressure, and the stress is making her lash out.
The situation escalated when influencer Paradise Paris criticized Cardi’s inability to handle constructive criticism. Paris pointed out that while other artists are progressing in their careers, Cardi has only dropped one album and is failing to stay relevant. Cardi’s response was harsh—she called out Paris’ body and personal life, bringing up insecurities and making brutal remarks about her appearance. The exchange became a messy back-and-forth, with Paris accusing Cardi of being insecure and failing to live up to her potential.
Adding fuel to the fire, a blind item surfaced revealing that Cardi’s label is seriously considering dropping her. The item suggested that there was a secret meeting to discuss her future with the label, with executives reportedly embarrassed by her lack of sustained success. Cardi’s label has seen some major shifts in leadership since she first signed, including the Trump presidency, a new election cycle, and the pandemic. According to the blind item, the label no longer believes her fanbase is strong enough to sustain her career long-term.
The lack of album sales, no major hits, and no tours have left Cardi in a vulnerable position. Despite her initial success, the label seems to have lost faith in her ability to deliver another album. Touring is one of the major ways labels recoup their investment in artists, and Cardi has never been able to fully commit to touring. After giving birth to her daughter, Culture, soon after the release of Invasion of Privacy, Cardi’s career took a different turn. While she’s released singles here and there, they haven’t made the same impact as her debut album, and the label’s patience appears to be running out.
With all these failed attempts at making waves in the music world, fans are starting to lose faith. Comments from critics suggest that Cardi’s name isn’t carrying the weight it once did, and the label might be ready to move on. One fan even pointed out that Cardi’s “collab flopped horribly,” signaling that her star power might be fading.
