Cardi B has returned to Instagram after a brief “retirement” to announce her latest track with Bruno Mars.

But, on Wednesday, Cardi B proved she was already over it as she reactivated her Instagram account and had a surprise announcement for fans.

Showing off a new single cover, Cardi B wrote: “Ok so I’m back from retirement to announce I have a brand new song coming out Friday at midnight with @brunomars. #twogrammywinningartist .”

Fans were quick to welcome the “queen” back online and hail the incoming collaboration as “everything”.

One wrote: “I [love] how you include #grammywinnerCARDIB in every comment!!! Let em know! @iamcardib glad you back mama! This pic is giving me life!”

Another said: “Bout time girl you got no time for haters damn you got a Grammy!”

“Yaaaay! So good to have you back! F haters, you deserve all the success,” posted somebody else.

Cardi B deleted her Instagram page after an impassioned rant on her stories earlier this week, reacting to trolls slamming her win for Invasion of Privacy.

Cardi B, who made history as the first female winner in the category , used her expletive-laden videos to remind fans that she was pregnant with Kulture while making the twice platinum album.

“It’s not my style for people to put other people down, however I’ve been taking a lot of s***,” she said.

“I’m sick of this s***. I work hard for my motherf****** album. I remember last year when everyone was saying Cardi got snubbed but now this year it’s a problem?”

She then raged that her album went “two-times platinum in every chart that there was” and that she “worked her a** off for three months”.
