GRAMMY Award-winning, Diamond selling superstar Cardi B returns with “Like What (Freestyle).” The freestyle samples the legendary Missy Elliot track “She’s A Bitch.” “Like What (Freestyle)” is also accompanied by a high-fashion companion visual. The freestyle serves as the follow-up to last year’s iconic collaboration with Megan Thee Stallion on “Bongos.” The visual takes place in Cardi B’s own sun-drenched oasis, featuring an assortment of dazzling dancers surrounding the iconic duo throughout. Stay tuned for more music from the trailblazing femcee.

“Bongos” came on the heels of Cardi B’s breathtaking Vogue México and Latin America cover shoot for the famous September issue. The breathtaking cover shoot was accompanied by an in-depth, intimate interview. Both the single and cover shoot followed a massive string of collaborations with her fellow rap peers. Some of these include Glorilla’s Platinum-certified “Tomorrow 2,” Latto’s Gold-certified “Put It On The Floor,” Offset’s “Jealousy,” and FendiDa Rappa’s “Point Me 2.”

Prior to “Bongos,” the pair released the historic and viral sensation “WAP.”  “WAP (Feat. Megan Thee Stallion)” affirmed Cardi B as one of Apple Music’s most popular artists of all time, earning the platform’s highest-ever debut by a female artist as well as the fastest song in Apple Music history by a female artist to peak at #1. It also went on to go #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, and peaked at #1 on rhythmic radio and peaked at #2 on urban radio.

“WAP” also won Favorite Song – Rap / Hip-Hop at the American Music Awards and won Best Collaboration and Video of the Year at the BET Awards.
