Cardi B’s Sophomore Album May Already Have A Title, According To Trademark Applications
Fans may have a concrete update on Cardi B’s anticipated sophomore album, as a few potential titles have been trademarked under her Washpoppin company.
According to TMZ, the phrases Defamation of Character and Intrusive Thoughts were filed in June, which would both be great follow-up themes to her Grammy-winning debut, Invasion of Privacy. Per the filings, the pending titles are intended for a “pre-recorded record album featuring music” and related products.
As Cardi has been back-and-forth about the release of her next music project, she did tell Rolling Stone in May that she’s been in the studio adding the finishing touches to her album. Reportedly, the “Bodak Yellow” star has been spending a lot of time perfecting the project’s intro and title, while also adding more songs, gathering features, and thinking of a master rollout plan.
“Until I have the album ready, I’m not going home,” the mother-of-two told the outlet. Speaking to why it’s taken so long to formulate a focus for the album, she added, “I’m a different person every single day. When I’m in a good mood and I’m with my friends, [I’m] like, ‘Damn, I want my sh*t to be played in this club.’ But then I might be mad with my man, so it’s like now I want to do this song. But then I want to do a pop record. I want to do my sing-y sh*t.”
Speaking of her man, Cardi recently announced that she’s divorcing Offset again, after he was accused of cheating on her last month. This time around, Cardi is asking for primary custody of their two children, daughter Kulture, 6, and son Wave, 2. Additionally, she has a third on the way.
“With every ending comes a new beginning!” Cardi said upon making her announcement. “I am so grateful to have shared this season with you, you have brought me more love, more life and most of all renewed my power! Reminded me that I can have it all! You’ve reminded me that I never have to choose between life, love, and my passion!”
She added, “I love you so much and can not wait for you to witness what you helped me accomplish, what you pushed me to do! It’s so much easier taking life’s twists, turns and test laying down, but you, your brother and your sister have shown me why it’s worth it to push through!”
