Cardi B is once again making noise, this time with her words, not just her bars.

Full story below…

Over the weekend, the rap superstar accepted the Voice of the Culture Award at the  2025 ASCAP Rhythm & Soul Music Awards in Los Angeles and used her moment to silence the noise around her pen game. During her speech, she declared:

“I write, I co-write, I rewrite. I speak to what’s true to me. My pen, my mind, my feelings are in every verse and in every hook and I respect every writer and who brings their magic to the table. This award is not just for me. It’s for the culture, for every writer who help shape it and make us do something. Let’s keep pushing our pens and the power that comes with it.”

Cardi addressed the ongoing chatter questioning her songwriting credits, reminding haters that music has always been a team sport, she said:

“Music is a collaboration it has always been. The biggest hits, the greatest records come from teamwork. They come from sharing experiences. energy, pain and joy. It’s not about ego, it’s about impact, and I love my team.”

Despite the passionate speech, some are skeptical. Comments under ASCAP’s saw select fans demanding receipts from Cardi. One user asked:

“Can you tell us one verse or song you wrote without any writers???”

Meanwhile, Cardi confirmed she is not releasing the much-hyped ‘Outside’ track, a snippet of which has gone viral. Instead, she’s saving the heat for her long-awaited sophomore album.

She told fans on X Spaces:

“I just wanna drop the whole project at once.”

Let the countdown begin.
