Cardi B recently found herself accused of shading Megan Thee Stallion over comments regarding album sales during the summer months. Cardi B had teased an announcement about her upcoming album, which fans anticipated for 2024, but concerns arose that its release might be delayed until later in the year. One fan pointed out that releasing an album in autumn or winter could reduce its chances of achieving viral hits and earning high streams and sales.

In response, Cardi B defended herself, arguing that album sales have generally been low across the board during the summer. She challenged the notion that her comments were aimed at Megan Thee Stallion, who had recently released her self-titled LP. Despite Cardi B’s clarification, some fans perceived her remarks as a slight against Megan Thee Stallion and accused her of being shady.

Cardi B responded to the accusations, asserting that she was speaking the truth about the challenges of releasing albums in the summer when there is intense competition and a constant influx of new music. She emphasized that the music industry’s dynamics, not personal conflicts, were behind her comments.

The situation highlighted the complexities of navigating public perception in the music industry, where fans closely scrutinize artists’ interactions and statements on social media.
