CARDI B Lyrics – Melinda Ademi

Melinda Ademi just unleashed “Cardi B” like a Molotov cocktail at a copycat convention, her latest Albanian trap grenade, and two days in, it’s already racked up half a mil views—proof the queen’s got that unfiltered Bronx-Kosovo swagger locked and loaded.

This banger, dropped January 5 with a video that’s equal parts glossy and gritty, is Ademi owning her lane: a bilingual roast session where she flips Cardi B’s larger-than-life blueprint into a mirror for the “wanna-bes” chasing clout. Picture booming bass that hits like a full-throttle drive through Pristina streets, Indrit Dode’s production layering trap snares with those hypnotic melody hooks she co-crafted, while lyrics—penned with Bim Bima—spit fire in Shqip and English. It’s all about that raw ascent: “Jeta shum e shpejt jepi gas gas,” she brags, turning life’s fast lane into a victory lap over haters (“Ti se ki, a po don? Po ti bi”).

Themes? Empowerment dialed to eleven—dissing the fakes (“Un jom njo, ti si plot wanna be yo”), celebrating the grind (“I’m a winner pi natyre baby plas plas”), and that cheeky closer about getting paid while they talk (“Deri sa ti veq flet I get my money”). No deep collabs, just Ademi’s voice slicing through like a sheriff rolling up (“Erdh sherifi n’qytet blindou”), a sonic therapy sesh for anyone tired of the posers. Fans are eating it up in the comments, dubbing her the “Albanian Cardi” redux and begging for a real-life summit.

Ademi’s no newbie to the spotlight—she’s the Yonkers-raised firebrand who stormed American Idol back in 2011 and ’13, hitting semifinals the second go-round and earning Nicki Minaj’s standing O. Fast-forward to now: the 30-year-old Kosovo native’s carved a throne in Albanian rap-pop, blending R&B silk with hip-hop grit on hits like “Çifteli” that snagged a 2019 New York Times nod as a must-watch European act. Post-Idol, she’s stacked a discography of club anthems and TikTok virals, touring festivals from Tirana to NYC, all while dodging the “next big thing” trap to build her own empire. “Cardi B” feels like peak evolution—sassier, sharper, leaning into that cultural mash-up she’s mastered, turning personal jabs into universal bops.
