Cardi B’s new song “Outside” hit number one on Apple Music just days after its release. The rapper used this moment to say sorry to her record label, Atlantic Records, for fighting against the song’s release. She shared her thoughts in a video on Instagram.
The track became her first number one on Apple Music since “Up” in 2021. Fans quickly supported the song, making it a summer hit. Cardi admitted she did not want to release it at first but now thanks her label for pushing her.
“I want to publicly apologize to Atlantic because I was being very bratty. I didnโt want to drop this song. But they were like, โno, bitch, you gonโ drop this f*king song.โ I was giving so much pushback, but we dropped it, I compromised, and itโs going amazing.”

The song leaked earlier, leading to fan demand for an official release. Many believe the lyrics target her ex-husband, Offset, as their divorce continues. Cardi also hinted at a new album coming soon.
Behind the Fight With Atlantic Records
Cardi B had been against releasing “Outside” for months. She called the process frustrating and even complained online about her label. However, Atlantic Records insisted the song had potential.
After its success, Cardi changed her mind. She thanked fans for streaming the song and admitted her label was right. The track also entered the top spot on iTunes in the U.S., proving its popularity.
“I don’t know what’s gonna happen to this country tomorrow, but I know we went number 1 today!” she said in another Instagram post.
Fans Think “Outside” Is About Offset
Many listeners believe the song includes lines about her split from Offset. The couple divorced in 2024 after having three children together. Lyrics like “Your favorite player on your favorite team, he all in my DMs” sparked rumors.
Offset recently reacted when Cardiโs new boyfriend, Stefon Diggs, posted pictures with her son. The rapper made angry comments online, adding more tension. Cardi has not directly confirmed if the song is about him.
A New Album Coming Soon?
Cardi B has not released a full album since “Invasion of Privacy” in 2018. Fans have waited years for new music, and she recently teased a big announcement.
In a cryptic video, she hinted at a major project: “Seven years and the time has comeโฆ I’m not back, I’m beyond.” Many think this means her second album is finally arriving. Reports say it could have over 20 songs.
How Fans Reacted
Some fans loved the song, while others compared it to her past hits. Comments online were mixed:
“QUEEN OF RAP.”
“A cute bop for summer but I donโt know what this will do for the album sales later.”
“Can someone explain how it’s number 1 on Apple Music but out of the top 200 on Spotify?”
Despite debates, the songโs success shows Cardi B still dominates music charts. Her apology to Atlantic Records also shows her growth in the industry.
