Before reaching out to the celebrity, Cardi B wants to show her her “perfect record.” She wants to collaborate with Rihanna.

It was acknowledged by the WAP hitmaker that she’sounds foolish’ when she tries to create music that resembles the hitmaker’s earlier works for We Found Love.

She won’t, however, allow it to deter her from writing a song that the two could sing together.

She declared, “I love Rihanna’s music,” in an interview with the Million Dollaz Worth Of Game podcast.

However, I don’t create music in that manner. I feel like a complete idiot trying to sing like that. I sound foolish attempting to create music in that manner.

“So, if I ever get that perfect record,” she continued. I am eager for the moment to come when I think, “This song—I know she’s going to like it.”

The 31-year-old singer did, however, acknowledge that she is worried about Riri’s opinion and response regarding the potential collaboration. 

“What is this? I don’t want to send her a message like that.” Please remove this object off my face.”

The native of New York has already collaborated on hit duets with Flo Milli, Latto, GloRilla, Megan Thee Stallion, and many other celebrities.

Still, the Bodak Yellow hitmaker has already said that she is ‘too bashful’ to approach male musicians about working together.

The hip-hop artist, who has collaborated with artists like Bruno Mars and Maroon 5, has admitted that she lacks the confidence to approach some of her favorite male artists to sing with her on a song because she gets “starstruck” quickly and worries about coming across as “corny.”

She stated, “When female artists are rising, you don’t have to put one down because the others are rising,” in an interview with Billboard in 2020. Whenever a female rapper makes an appearance, people want to start fictitious feuds. 

“Perhaps because people don’t get to see me [with other women] as much as they would like to.” To be honest with you, the problem is that I’m shy. I’m incredibly shy to reach out to male artists. I’m afraid to seek out, which is why I haven’t received many of the collaborations I want. Every time, I get a little starry-eyed. Even if I’m amusing, I think I’m cheesy.

The mother of two also acknowledged that when she performs songs that highlight her romantic relationships and feelings, she feels humiliated.

She responded, “Kinda sorta, but then again, when it comes to me writing or putting ideas of my personal life [into the music], I get really shy,” when asked if she was able to get more personal on her upcoming second studio album. 

“I usually close my eyes when I perform songs like Be Careful or Ring because I get really shy about displaying my romantic side.” I begin to laugh even at my engineer. “Oh, my God, I can’t,” I exclaim. This is really awkward.”

Her follow-up album to 2018’s Invasion of Privacy is expected to be highly anticipated. The new project will be her first in six years, even though it is her second album with Atlantic Records.

Cardi disclosed in an interview with Andy Cohen in September of last year that she was almost finished with her new album.

Her second album, which has been teased since 2019, is expected to be released in 2024.
