Coming soon: Cardi told her fans that Press would be dropping at Midnight
Cardi, real name Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar, earlier went on Instagram Live to deliver an expletive-ridden rant justifying her cosmetic work.
'I do whatever the f*** I want to do with my body, I don't have the time of day like you do.
'My job as an entertainer is a 24-hour job, bro. So no, I don't have time to work out. I wanted specific things that I know that no matter how much I work out won't get fixed.'

Cardi went on to explain that the recent surgery on her breasts is her doctor's main concern, and revealed that some of her stitches are yet to heal.
Her doctor warned her she needs to take time off like he told her to. 'My breasts gotta f**kin heal,' she added.
Cardi continued her video leaving her fans in no doubt that cash is her main motivation.
'My job as an entertainer is a 24-hour job, bro. So no, I don't have time to work out. I wanted specific things that I know that no matter how much I work out won't get fixed.' she said on Instagram Live
'I hate cancelling shows because I love money. I'm a money addict. I get paid a lot of money, a lot of money for these shows. A lot of money. I'm cancelling millions of dollars in shows, but health is wealth so I have to do what I have to do,' she said.
Before signing off the Bodak Yellow hitmaker finally apologized to fans for the canceled shows and saying that she will have an announcement later on Thursday.
When the announcement was made earlier this month Cardi's rep said in a statement to People: 'Cardi was overzealous in getting back to work, she didn't take the time necessary to fully recover from her surgery.
'Her strenuous schedule has taken a toll on her body and she has been given strict doctor's orders to pull out of the rest of her performances in May'.
