Cardi B hasn't deleted any of her accounts or purged her posts, but she has made a subtle but bold change: blacking out her profile pics.

Fans of the artist were quick to notice the change across her social media accounts Sunday night. Soon after, #BardiBlackout and #whereiscardi were trending on X.

Besides her Super Bowl ad, Cardi B hasn't posted on social media since the New Year. She didn't even comment on Nicki Minaj and Megan Thee Stallion's beef.

With her profile pics gone, fans are itching for an explanation, and hoping Cardi's going to announce new music. In many #bardiblackout posts on X, fans wrote, "She's coming!"

They might be right.
