Cardi B is laughing at her haters.
The Bronx native teased an unreleased song, now officially titled "Ah Ha," to her millions of followers across her social media platforms earlier this week with the caption, "Hmmmmm… why not?"
In the video, Cardi B is strutting on a beach, wearing a Dominican Republic flag bikini and rapping along to the lyrics.
It comes just months after Cardi B dropped her sophomore studio album, "Am I The Drama?" last fall. Shortly after its highly anticipated release, the rap star and entrepreneur told fans that about a potential "new era" in the works.
"I want to put out a project, another album, in less than a year, so I'm really planning on that," she said during an X Spaces last October, according to Complex. "I kinda know
what I want it to look like. It's gonna be different from 'Am I the Drama?'"
Internet reacts to 'Ah Ha'
The "Ah Ha" snippet garnered massive traction, prompting fans to ask her to release the song.
"Inject it into my veins," one X user wrote. Another said, "This sounds so fresh!!!!! I need this ASAP!!" A third chimed in, "Cardi drop this right now...RIGHT NOW sis."
According to clips circulating online, Cardi B took to Instagram Live to discuss the song preview, saying she was initially unsure whether to release it at this time.
"Now me and my label are panicking...Now that I see ya'll guys like it, I'm like, damn, I'm going to have to shoot a music video this weekend," the Grammy-winning artist said. "I'm glad I'm just having fun with music and y'all just loving it and enjoying it."
Cardi B and her label, Atlantic Records, announced the song is set to be released on Friday, July 31.
