Cardi insisted she caved to "haters" at the time by not putting her X-rated single WAP forward for a Grammy Award, but now she's thinking of her fans.
She continued: "I let haters make me not submit WAP for the Grammy's and at this point I'm giving my fans what they want!
"These two songs don't even count for first week sales so what are yall even crying about???
"Do ya say anything when all these artist pull out all their little tricks and ponies to sell out??? Exactly…
"Now let them eat cake. Go cry about it!!! (sic)"
After warning she will "give them hell" on the new album, Cardi unveiled the title and release date for her next studio effort earlier this week.
The Bodak Yellow rapper cautioned those who have done her wrong that she is their "tyrant", ahead of what looks set to be an explosive record.
Cardi said in a voiceover shared on Instagram: 'Seven years and the time has come. Seven years of love, life and loss. Seven years I gave them grace, but now, I give them hell.
"I learned power is not given, it's taken. I'm shedding feathers and no more tears. I'm not back, I'm beyond. I'm not your villain, I'm your tyrant. The time is here. The time is now."

Eve Names The 4 Women Rappers She Thinks Will Have Longevity: 'I Don't Think It's Going To Be A Lot'
Philly rapper Eve has been a respected figure in Hip-Hop since debuting as The Ruff Ryders' First Lady back in 1999. Recently, the 'Tamborine' artist gave her take on the influx of popular women rappers in 2025, naming four that she believes will be around for years to come. Sharing her take on Fat Joe and Jadakiss' Joe and Jada podcast, Eve responded to Joe's question regarding young women rappers and whether or not they have 'sustainability,' with the 'Gotta Man' rapper saying, 'I think there are some, I don't think it's going to be a lot.' The stylish MC went on to name four of today's most popular artists that she believes will stay on the public's radar. 'I think Doechii will be there, I think Cardi has made her way…I love GloRilla, I think Glo will be there. Latto's dope.' She added that there's also a lot of 'crap' out there, but that she focuses on the artists she likes. While she doesn't mention Queens rapper Nicki Minaj — likely due to the fact that Minaj's longevity has already been proven — she did bring up the 'Barbie Dreams' rapper in a recent interview with Complex's Jordan Rose, where she thanked her 'My Chick Bad (Remix)' collaborator for recognizing her as a 'trendsetter' who has 'unapologetic talent and charisma' after discussing their time on the set of Barbershop: The Next Cut in her memoir, Who's That Girl. 'Once she responded, I was like, I was supposed to do that,' Eve said of including the tidbit in her book. 'And I'm so happy that that happened because it's one of those things in life, no matter what line of work you're in, no matter what you do, we're always in our heads so much thinking that someone else is thinking about you in some way. And everybody's in their own bubble. 'And if you sometimes just come together and have a conversation, you'll see that, 'Oh, man, we was feeling the same way,'' she continued. 'We could have had dope conversations on set instead of just tiptoeing around each other or whatever.' Check out Eve on Joe and Jada below.
