Cardi B returned today (March 1) with her new “Like What (Freestyle)” music video. Her latest song samples Missy Elliott’s “She’s a B####” single from 1999.
Missy Elliott co-signed “Like What (Freestyle)” on her Instagram Story. The Rock & Roll Hall of Famer and Songwriters Hall of Famer tagged Cardi B in her post along with three dancing women emojis.
Timbaland produced “She’s a B####” off the Da Real World album. The Verzuz co-founder also showed love to Cardi with an Instagram Story post. His caption simply read, “Da [crown emoji].”
In July 2023, Missy Elliott reflected on her iconic “She’s a B####” visuals. The rapper/singer stated, “When I say AHEAD of the GAME! Looking back at these songs & videos this is ART! This is what Risk & a SHIFT in music look like.”
Cardi B’s “Like What (Freestyle)” arrives as speculation surrounding her next project continues to grow. The New York-raised entertainer has not released a studio LP since 2018’s Invasion of Privacy.
Fans of the self-described Trap Selena believe “Like What (Freestyle)” could be a precursor to her sophomore album. The record’s Offset-directed music video ends with the words, “This is just the beginning… stay tuned.”
As of press time, “Like What (Freestyle)” has reached the Top 5 of the iTunes all-genre chart. Cardi B’s latest song made it to No. 1 on the app’s Hip-Hop/rap chart. Its music video is trending at No. 3 on YouTube.
