Cardi B and 'King of R&B' Bruno Mars get very flirty in new song Please Me

Cardi B and Bruno Mars have dropped flirty new song Please Me and fans can't get enough of it.

US rapper Cardi B, real name Belcalis Almánzar, unveiled the track on Instagram, and couldn't resist referring to her brief absence after criticism over her Grammy Awards win.

“Ok so I’m back from retirement to announce I have a brand new song coming out Friday at midnight with @brunomars. #twogrammywinningartist,” she posted.

The steamy track sees the pair sing: “Please me, baby. Turn around and just tease me, baby. You know what I want and what I need, baby.”

The song proved a hit with fans, with many praising the duo for “bringing back" old school R&B.

One user wrote: “Am I the only one who is already in love with the new Cardi and Bruno song?”

Another commented: “Cardi and Bruno really out here being the most powerful duo.”

A third added: “I like that Bruno Mars is single-handedly bringing back 90s RnB.”

The pair previously collaborated on a remix of Mars’ song Finesse, which they went on to perform at the Grammy Awards in 2018.

The collaboration dropped days after Cardi B’s historical win at this year's ceremony which saw her make history as the first female to take home the Best Rap Album gong, for debut album Invasion of Privacy.

She deleted her Instagram page in the wake of the bash after clapping back at trolls who slammed her win.

Launching into a tirade on her Instagram stories, she said: “It’s not my style for people to put other people down, however I’ve been taking a lot of s***.

“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 went on to add that she “worked her a** off” whilst she was pregnant with Kulture.

Lady Gaga defended the star in a sweet Twitter tribute in which she hit out at the “disrespectful challenges” of the industry.
