During an episode of "The Breakfast Club," Cardi B felt sentimental as she thanked the hosts, Angela Yee, Charlamagne The God, and Dj Envy for the support she has received since the start of her career.

She took a trip down memory lane as she revealed that she went to the Dominican Republic to get some surgical touch-ups for her body before the drop of her highly anticipated sophomore album next year.

With the topic of her album coming up, the group discussed Cardi's upcoming album, which comes almost six years after the drop of her debut album, "Invasion of Privacy."

"I don't know what's going on with me. I need to just make up my mind and just put it out," she lamented. "I think I'm too much in my head about it because there's some songs and people are like 'You just need to release it.'"

"I just feel like I'm missing something. It's missing something. I don't know," she continued but reassured the hosts and fans that the album will be coming soon. "I gotta put it out next year."

This is not the first time people have asked about Cardi's next album, some even accused her of being worried whether it might not perform as well as her debut album did.

Cardi did not take the accusations lightly and immediately responded, "I'm never afraid of numbers honey," she wrote. "And I don't gotta put an another album if I want to I eats good fo my diamond records alone.

"Don't drag other b***hes to make your point drag the man that's running their mouth...Grown man!"

The tweets have since been deleted, but she proved that she was not afraid of the sales and shared a tweet that noted her "2019 Arena Tour" amassed an average of over $1 million per show, which made her the first female rapper in history to accomplish the feat.
