Cardi B has unveiled a high-stakes fashion and beauty partnership with Revolve Group, taking her growing business empire to the next level.

The Grammy Award-winning rapper is stepping into the business spotlight with a joint venture that will roll out clothing and beauty lines, significantly expanding her influence beyond music. The first drop is slated for later in 2025.

“My beauty line, people have been expecting that, like an album,” Cardi B told Women’s Wear Daily in an exclusive interview.

Cardi B wants to build long-term brand value rather than just endorse products. Revolve, known for tapping into influencer culture, is banking on Cardi’s cultural pull to connect with Millennial and Gen Z shoppers.

Cardi explained, “When something is so expected, people want it to be the best, or, they want it to be the worst so they can be like, ‘Haha you don’t know about s–t b—h!’ People expect the best from both fields. We have to come in strong.”

Cardi B Says She Doesn’t Get Credit For Being A Trendsetter

Cardi B wore a sharply tailored white blazer dress from her upcoming line during the interview, offering a first look at what’s to come. The outfit was sleek, form-fitting and unmistakably her.

“I personally believe that I put a lot of people on a lot of trends,” she added. “It’s not even about getting paid, but it’s not appreciated. I gotta do this for me because I don’t get thank yous. If I don’t have a good year, I don’t get, ‘How have you been?’ Nobody does that. It’s time for me to do s–t for my own self, not for everybody else.”

Hints of the venture first surfaced in December 2024 when Cardi teased a huge project without naming names.

“I got something very important to me that is coming out next year. I don’t want to say too much,” she said at the time. “This is something that I been wanting to do for a very long time. I just left a billion-dollar play.”

Cardi B has dropped some clues about her upcoming album, including one major detail that has her fanbase reeling.

During a recent Twitter Spaces broadcast, Cardi B provided her fans with a multitude of life updates, namely speaking on her ongoing divorce with Offset and her upcoming album, CB2.

In the midst of dishing details about the new music she has been crafting, Cardi B told fans that the project doesn’t have any features from female rappers “yet.”

While she didn’t go into depth about why she has yet to add any collaborations with her female rap counterparts to the project, she was very excited about the body of work and the features that are currently included.

“The features on my album are really good,” Cardi B said in part. “I don’t have a lot of features.
Well, it depends what y’all consider was a lot of features. I don’t have a lot of features.”

Cardi B also revealed that some of the collaborations that currently live on the album are familiar names.

“I’m working with artists, some that I have worked before and some that I haven’t worked before,” she said. “And like the ones that like I have not worked with before, I feel like it’s gonna like really, really surprise y’all. And it’s such a vibe.”

Cardi went on to express her excitement for the release, explaining her belief that she has something truly unique to offer the world this go-around.

“I could tell y’all this, I’m 100 percent confident with this album,” she said. “Like it’s so, I just don’t think that what I got is out there, is out there. So that’s all I’m gonna say. I gave y’all some clues on my features and that’s it. Bye-bye, talk to you later.”

Cardi B’s debut album Invaision Of Privacy, home to hits such as “Bodak Yellow,” topped the Billboard 200 upon its April 2018 release. The New York-bred rapper’s follow-up effort has big shoes to fill should it attempt to scratch the surface of what her debut effort did—considering it nabbed her a Grammy Award fro Best Rap Album and broke the record for the biggest first-week sales numbers generated for a female rap album since Nicki Minaj’s Pink Friday in 2010.
