Cardi B Will Feature on Lizzo's New Track "Rumors"
Dropping this Friday, August 13.
Lizzo announced on Monday that Cardi B will feature on “Rumors,” her first new single since 2019’s Cuz I Love You, slated to release this Friday, August 13.
“Good morning, motherf***er! That’s who it’s featuring y’all, period,” said Lizzo on a FaceTime call with a barely-awake Cardi in a video posted to Instagram. “It’s Harry Styles!” Lizzo joked.
“Yo what the f***? What’s going on. Why you call me so early? It’s nine o’clock in the morning,” Cardi responded as she attempted to wake herself up.
Fueling excitement surrounding the collaboration, Lizzo captioned the video: “GRAND RISING MUTHAF***ASSSSS…. GUESS WHOS HOPPIN ON ‘RUMORS’ W/ ME?!?”
