She's unleashed top-charting singles, scored two GRAMMY nominations and lit up the GRAMMY stage with Bruno Mars. Plus, she's done it all in headline-grabbing style. Cardi B is now ready to invade you with her debut album. And you have a week and change to prepare.
Via Instagram, the rapper announced that her Atlantic Records debut, Invasion Of Privacy, will be released April 6. Her post also provided a preview of the colorful album artwork, featuring Cardi B rocking a bright-yellow 'do, white sunglasses and checkerboard-based outfit.
Named by Rolling Stone as the breakout music star of 2017, Cardi B's debut LP follows the momentum established by hit singles such as "Bodak Yellow" — nominated for Best Rap Song and Best Rap Performance at the 60th GRAMMY Awards — and "Bartier Cardi" and "MotorSport," in addition to features on tracks like Bruno Mars' "Finesse (Remix)" and G-Eazy's "No Limit."

A day after the release of Invasion Of Privacy, Cardi B is scheduled to perform on "Saturday Night Live." Her recent performance at the iHeartRadio Music Awards earlier this month drew high praise, with Vanity Fair labeling her the "queen" of the festivities.
Thus, if there is one topic liable to dominate the Monday, April 9 water-cooler talk, bet on Cardi B.
