GRAMMY Award-winning, Diamond selling superstar Cardi B returns with ‘Like What (Freestyle). The freestyle samples the legendary Missy Elliot track ‘She’s A B**ch’. ‘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’ (49M views). The visual takes place in Cardi B’s own sun-drenched oasis featuring an assortment of dazzling dancers surrounding the iconic duo throughout.
‘Bongos’ came on the heels of Cardi B’s breathtaking Vogue México and Latin America cover shoot for the famous September issue. The cover shoot was accompanied by an in-depth, intimate interview that is available to read HERE. 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’.
