Cardi Drops “Like What (Freestyle); Hits the Mall for a New Bag During Coach Lyric Controversy
Cardi B Returns With "Like What (Freestyle)"
On March 1, Cardi B popped out with her new “Like What (Freestyle).” It’s her first drop of 2024 and samples Missy Elliott’s “She’s A B*tch.”
There was on line that caught fans’ attention, though: Like a Coach bag, baby, this ain't what you want (Nah),” Cardi raps. Some people might have taken it as a diss, but apparently it was a reference to Cam’ron’s 2011 “Hey Mumma.”
In her explanation, Cardi stated how Cam’ron’s lyrics influenced her view on Coach at the time. “When I was doing this song, that’s what I was thinking about. It’s like, ‘B*tch, do you want that or do you want this? You want a Chanel, or you want this bag?’ Now everybody’s jumping me,” she explained and professed she did not want to offend anyone.
“Come with me to buy a Coach bag,” Cardi B captioned a recent TikTok video showing her go to the mall to buy a new bag.

“Like What (Freestyle)” is Cardi’s first solo song in years. It follows up the Megan Thee Stallion collaboration, “Bongos.”
Chorus
“Classy and a c*nt (And a c*nt)
Blocks and money gettin' spunt (Gettin' spunt)
Like (Like), like what? (Like what?)
Like a Coach bag, baby, this ain't what you want (Nah)
If I ask for it, all I wanna hear is, "Yes" (Yes)
B!tch said she wanna be my opp, God bless (God bless)
Look, I ain't even got dressed
Any L that I took, come after YS
Oh, man (Oh, man)”
