"6 years later I'm preparing to drop the next one this year.. it's so different from what everyone is expecting and I'm sooo excited. Love you guys and thank you for the support!

Following Bardi's statement, an X user questioned if the rapper should be experimenting on her second album. Missy Elliott entered the chat with some words of encouragement.

"Absolutely yes it’s the time to experiment," the 2023 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee posted. "Take it from someone who experimented and many others which allowed them to NOT be BOXED in to one sound and style… I can name tons who each of there albums sounded nothing like the one before."

In response, Cardi noted that she was still feeling apprehensive. But she has decided to get over her emotions.
