I’ll still incorporate new songs like #Mamita & [The “anxiety” song] for the remainder of the tour tho…and I’ll announce the new date within the next couple weeks.”She also confirmed that she’s recorded more songs recently: “The new music is just too good to be thrown away on a deluxe album.

Last night, the songs I recorded were just way too iconic. I love you guys so much. You know that. I know you do. I’ll still give you something leading up to the announcement, so no worries.”“‘PF3’ is about to do PRECISELY wtf BEEN needed to be done.

TRUST ME BARBZ. IM SO EXCITED. BLESSED. LOVED (by the Barbz) & fortunately (for the Barbz & me), I’ve learned A LOT since 12/08/23.”Earlier this summer, the rapper spoke about a new track she “just can’t stay quiet about”.
