A fan caught on to what the “WAP” artist actually revealed about her upcoming album, tweeting, “So the album cover is up, that’s what I’m hearing,” along with a picture of Zendaya holding her hand over her ear on Euphoria premiere on the red carpet.

The hip-hop star has taken some heat in recent months over his long-delayed sophomore album, which he addressed.
In July, Cardi discussed comments about her upcoming album The Joe Budden Podcast via X (formerly Twitter) Spaces.
When the topic of her sophomore album came up during the episode, host Joe Budden, 43, said: “We’re never getting another Cardi album. I stand by that.”
In response to the criticism, the “I Like It” hitmaker said in a clip shared on X where she said: “I don’t care when people talk s— about me. The fact is that you always talk to— about me, Joe Budden. Out of nowhere, you’d think I’d done something to this p—-… For the past two years, that p—- has kept saying nothing but bad things about me.”
She also stated that the host compares her to other female rappers “every five, six months” and always offers reviews only for her singles.
