Cardi B<\/a> has released a new one-off single titled \u201cPress.\u201d Her point being: she doesn\u2019t want it.<\/p>\n

\u201cCardi don\u2019t need more press,\u201d she spits above thudding, foreboding bass and an orchestral score fit for a first-person shooter game. \u201cKill \u2019em all\/Put them hoes to rest\/Walk in, bulletproof vest!\u201d<\/p>\n

She first previewed the song on social media Wednesday, with a photo of a handcuffed Aileen Wuornos, the former sex worker-turned-vigilante serial killer. Cardi chased it with a photo of herself<\/a> in the same cuffed pose, gritting her teeth from inside a courtroom. The final teaser revealed her stripped naked (with censor bars) and flanked by paparazzi outside the courtroom. Though she dropped Invasion of Privacy<\/em><\/a> in 2018, she continues to wrestle with overexposure on \u201cPress.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Grammy-winning rapper has gone through the ringer in the headlines, so to speak. As a relatively new mother, she\u2019s been scrutinized for lavishing her a 10-month old daughter with diamonds; then once more after she eschewed a gym routine for cosmetic surgery (which she flaunts in the artwork for \u201cPress\u201d). But due to a grueling recovery process, she was forced to cancel several tour dates. \u201cMy job as an entertainer is a 24-hour job, bro,\u201d she explained to her fans, to whom she issued an apology via Instagram<\/a>. \u201cSo no I don\u2019t have time to work out\u2026 I wanted specific things that I know that no matter how much I work out won\u2019t get fixed\u2026 I\u2019m cancelling millions of dollars in shows, but health is wealth so I have to do what I have to do.\u201d<\/p>\n

The new song follows her feature in DJ Khaled\u2019s \u201cWish Wish,\u201d<\/a> in which she and 21 Savage exchange bars amid pyrotechnics and motocross daredevils. Cardi B will resume her tour Sunday, June 2nd at the HOT 97 Summer Jam in East Rutherford, New Jersey.<\/p>\n
