After a lot of anticipation, Cardi B finally shared her first solo single of the year with the world – and it was worth waiting for! Her new song “Hot Sh-t” sees her joining forces with the fellow rappers Kanye West and Lil Durk.

This song has been in the making since 2019, but it took a while before it saw the light of day. Cardi B filmed the music video all the way back in March and wanted to release it ever since, but had to wait because CGI was taking too long.

The Grammy-winning rapper eventually decided that enough is enough, and simply shared the audio with the world. West’s involvement is one of the most exciting things about this song, and Cardi B said that she was “so happy” that he gave her his verse.

“Kanye gave me this verse a couple of months ago when he was just all over the media, because of all of the things that were going on. I like how his verse, it’s personal, but it’s not that personal,” she told Zane Lowe.

“Hot Sh-t” will be featured on Cardi B’s sophomore studio album, the follow-up to her 2018 record Invasion of Privacy. It was preceded by hit singles “WAP” featuring Megan Thee Stallion and “Up”, both of which topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
