“I had to change some bars because I was angry, honey,” Cardi admitted on Instagram
Cardi B wants to shake it all summer! On Friday, the rap star released “Outside,” her first solo single of the year, which she says channels a feistier version of herself, who was a tad angrier than she is today.
“If y’all wouldn’t have asked for it, I wouldn’t have put it out. I made this song a few months ago when I was very, very angry,” Cardi said in an Instagram Story. “I had to change some bars because I was angry, honey.”
On the song, Cardi sings about hooking up with some hotties including a basketball player: “I’m so small and tiny, he so big and tall/Might let him dunk this pussy like he dunk the ball,” she raps in one part.
Cardi debuted the song earlier this week at Spotify’s Cannes Beach event. On her IG, the rapper thanked her fans for their support, adding that she was “very surprised and shocked” by how much love “Outside” was getting after she debuted it live. “We outside all summer. It doesn’t matter if you’re fucking pregnant,” Cardi joked.

Earlier this year, Cardi joined Pardison Fontaine on “Toot It Up” in February, and she joined DJ Khaled, Desi Trill, Natania, and Subhi on “Higher Love” from the Smurfs soundtrack.
Cardi opened up in an Instagram Live in May that she was delaying her album as she secures her features. “I really need these fucking features,” Cardi said at the time. “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.”
