The track marks Cardi’s first new music since “Press” arrived in May 2019 and is the inaugural pre-release single from her upcoming sophomore effort, which is expected to be released later this year.

Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion are teaming up for a new single called “WAP,” which is scheduled to arrive later this week.
On Monday (August 3), the Invasion of Privacyrapper shared the single’s cover art featuring Meg and Cardi looking like carbon copies of each other. At first glance, it’s easy to think they’re the same person but upon closer inspection, both of their names appear on the neon pink background.
Cardi wrote in the caption, “WAP THIS FRIDAY!”

Ahead of its release, Cardi announced signed vinyl, cassette and CD copies of the song were available on her website, but that led to some technical difficulties.

As Cardi scrambled to get the website going again, she fielded a few questions from her fans and assured them she was on it. When one Twitter user asked, “How am I number 12626 in line to get into Cardi’s website, this is so rude,” Cardi replied, “Don’t worry I’m cursing the tech people as I type.”
