Back in 2018, Cardi B dropped Invasion of Privacy and completely dominated the scene, snagging the No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200 albums chart. She also nabbed the Grammy for Best Rap Album at the 2019 Grammy Awards.
With bangers like “Bodak Yellow” and “I Like It” hitting the top of the Hot 100, the New York rapper’s budding career was looking bright.
Last month, Cardi gave fans a taste of what they can likely expect from her sophomore release, with her latest hit, “Enough (Miami),” sharing that it was inspired by her rivals ganging up on her.
Returning to Instagram Live on Thursday (March 14) she discussed her latest track, which dropped the next day. According to Bardi the song was inspired by her critics coming after her, and interestingly, it originally had a different title.

“The song was originally called ‘And Her Name is Cardi K.’ And the reason why I called this song ‘Cardi K’ … I said it in an interview … I was really angry.,” she explained. “I felt like … bitches was ganging up on me. I felt like I was very, like, underestimated. Even like my fanbase. I have a fanbase that’s big, but it’s a very underestimated…
“So ‘Cardi K,’ I don’t know if you know how people be like, ‘EBK,’ like ‘Everybody Killa.’ I just felt like everyone was on some ‘Cardi K’ shit, like ‘Y’all on some Cardi Killa shit? Then fuck you hoes! Fuck you bitches!
She continued: “I got in the studio on some mad shit, but honest with you, I’m not on that space right now. I don’t give a fuck about nobody right now. But that’s her original name. Her original name is ‘Cardi K,’ but her stage name is ‘Enough/Miami.’”
The track arrived two weeks after , Cardi B has dropped the “Like What (Freestyle)” sampling Missy Elliot’s 1999 hit “She’s a Bitch.” She followed it up with a feature on Shakira’s “Puntería,” the opening track from her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran album, which hit shelves mid-March.
