“Jack your set,” the rapper wrote in her caption.
Cardi B is leaving fans guessing after posting a sultry new photo that some speculate is a hint at her next era.
Posted on her socials Thursday (April 4), the snapshot finds the rapper posing in platform heels, a barely-there bikini bottom and an angelic veil held up in the back by two helper doves. Another pair of white birds covers her chest, but nothing else — well, besides a metal cross and chain — obscures the rest of her body, leaving the tattoos on her arms, thighs and midriff exposed.
“Jack your set 👌🏽,” she wrote in her caption, the OK sign emoji mirroring her pose in the photo.
The Bardi Gang isn’t sure what the artist’s post is for, but many fans are convinced it means she’s gearing up to release her long-awaited new album. “CARDI WHAT IS THIS FOR????” one person commented on the photo on X.
“OMG IS THIS THE ALBUM COVER,” wrote another admirer.
Billboard has reached out to Cardi’s rep for comment.
Fans have long been waiting for a follow-up to 2018’s Invasion of Privacy, but the Grammy winner has only released a string of singles in the six years since it dropped. These include 2021’s “Hot S–t” with Ye and Lil Durk and 2023’s “Bongos” with Megan Thee Stallion, which peaked at Nos. 13 and 14 on the Billboard Hot 100, respectively.
So far this year, Cardi has shared two solo singles — “Like What (Freestyle)” and “Enough (Miami),” which hit No. 38 and No. 9, respectively, on the Hot 100. Most recently, she joined Shakira on “Puntería,” the first track on the pop star’s new album Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran, which hit No. 72 on the chart.
“I always wanted to do a record with Shakira and it’s like, wow, it landed on my lap,” Cardi said of the collaboration in a recent interview with Million Dollaz Worth of Game. “It really landed on my lap … It’s like, ‘B—h, I’ll do whatever the f–k you want me to do, b—h. I’ll fly to Colombia.’ Like I’ll go over there right now.”
