Cardi B to release “Outside” single on June 20
Cardi B announces upcoming “Outside” single
After months of speculation, Cardi B gave fans a double surprise: a first look at her youngest daughter and confirmation of a summer-ready single dropping June 20.
Cardi B Introduces Baby Blossom Belles to the World
On Monday, Cardi B had social media in a frenzy after sharing the very first photos of her 8-month-old daughter, Blossom Belles. The child, whom she shares with estranged husband Offset, had been kept out of the public eye since birth — making this reveal even more buzzworthy.
Dressed in a soft pink outfit and smiling for the camera, Blossom quickly captured fans’ hearts. Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok lit up with reactions as followers expressed how much Blossom resembled both her parents.
Many fans also praised Cardi for keeping her child’s early life private, a move that’s becoming more common among celebrity parents.
“Outside” — Cardi B’s First Single of 2025 Drops June 20
Just one day after unveiling Blossom, Cardi B pivoted into music mode. On Tuesday, she announced the arrival of her first single of 2025, titled “Outside”, set to be released on June 20.
Fans quickly flooded the comments with excitement and speculation. Will it be a summer banger? A club anthem? Or a personal record tapping into her life as a mother, artist, and cultural force?
Cardi didn’t reveal much besides the artwork — a colorful, neon-tinged visual of her in streetwear with a megaphone. But based on past releases, it’s safe to expect high energy, catchy flows, and Cardi’s trademark attitude.
From “Enough (Miami)” to “Outside”: Cardi’s 2024 Run
Before “Outside,” Cardi last released “Enough (Miami)” in early 2024. That single was nominated for Best Rap Performance at the 2024 Grammy Awards and made a strong impact on radio and streaming.
It continued a string of impactful records from Cardi — who has mastered the balance between dropping just enough music to stay relevant and making every release feel like an event.
Sophomore Album Finally Complete?
According to multiple reports, Cardi B has finally submitted her long-awaited second studio album to Atlantic Records. This would be her first full-length project since 2018’s Invasion of Privacy, which made history as the first female rap album to win Best Rap Album at the Grammys.
Fans have been clamoring for a follow-up for years. In the interim, Cardi has dropped high-impact singles like “WAP” with Megan Thee Stallion, “Up,” “Hot Sh*t,” and her collaboration-heavy run in 2023 and 2024.
In a recent Instagram Live, Cardi hinted that the album is “done,” fueling rumors that it may arrive before the end of summer 2025 — perhaps even as soon as July or August.
What “Outside” Could Mean for Cardi’s Album Rollout
Releasing “Outside” could be the strategic move that kicks off her full album campaign. It’s a formula Cardi has used before:
- “Bodak Yellow” (2017) → launched her into superstardom
- “WAP” (2020) → ignited viral buzz and political conversation
- “Up” (2021) → reaffirmed her dominance
With Outside, Cardi may be signaling a return to her Bronx roots — both literally and sonically. The title suggests something raw, energetic, and grounded in her come-up story.
Fans and critics alike are already pointing to summer festival season, award shows, and music video shoots as potential tie-ins to her upcoming rollout.
A Balancing Act: Cardi’s Life as a Mom, Mogul, and Rap Star
While Cardi B is always good for a viral quote or jaw-dropping performance, she’s also been vocal about how motherhood has changed her.
In multiple interviews, Cardi has said she wants her children to see her as more than just a celebrity — as someone who works hard, stands for herself, and makes power moves.
Between launching her own vodka-infused whipped cream brand (Whipshots), appearing in Fast & Furious films, and advocating for political causes, Cardi continues to expand her brand in every direction.
Fans React: Cardi’s Moment of Vulnerability and Power
Social media lit up with admiration after the baby reveal and single announcement. Many praised Cardi for her vulnerability, while others celebrated her ability to switch from “mom mode” to “music mode” seamlessly.
Memes, TikToks, and tweets speculating about the sound of “Outside” quickly started trending. Hashtags like #CardiIsBack, #BlossomBelles, and #OutsideSummerAnthem were among the top trends by Tuesday night.
Cardi B’s Summer Starts Outside
Cardi B knows how to own a moment — and she just delivered two in 48 hours. Between revealing baby Blossom Belles to the world and announcing her fiery return to music with Outside, she’s got fans locked in.
And if the rumors are true about her sophomore album being turned in, Cardi may be gearing up for one of the biggest comebacks in modern rap history.
