The 28-year-old hip-hop star teased a big announcement was on the way and she’s now announced the new track will arrive on Friday (05.01.21).

Alongside the striking artwork, in which the ‘Press’ rapper is sat in a bubble chair hanging over a city skyline in a bedazzled sheer ensemble, she wrote on Instagram: “My new single “UP” drops this Friday! LETS GOOOOOO! #Up (sic)”

The upcoming song will mark the first new music from the 28-year-old star since August’s controversial hit, ‘WAP’, with Megan Thee Stallion.

Cardi has also thanked her fans for “genuinely” supporting her as she admitted she wasn’t feeling herself at the moment, despite the exciting announcement.

She wrote on Twitter: “I want to thank all my fans and everyone that genuinely support me .I been preparing for this week for over a month.Unfortunately I’m not feeling how I wanted to feel today .I’m very happy that you guys are happy and just know I do this cause ya go so hard for me . (sic)”

The Grammy-winner went on to thank her loyal fanbase for “lifting” her up when things get “too much”.

Will the new single live up to the hype of Cardi’s 2020 release WAP?
