Cardi B just dropped the video for Safe featuring Kehlani and it hits like a late night message you don’t want to ignore. The song is part of her second album Am I the Drama? which arrived September 19, 2025. Fans have been buzzing ever since she teased the video would drop at midnight ET with the album.

The video stars Cardi in a delicate chapter. She’s pregnant, hopeful, trying to trust a partner who seems loving at first but betrays safety over time. The male lead is Don Benjamin. From early cuddles to unsettling secrets, the narrative spirals. Cardi starts feeling isolated. Things crack when the facade drops. Later, she faces tragedy when that sense of safety she longed for is violently broken. It is heartbreaking, it is cinematic, it leaves you unsettled.

Musically Safe draws you in with Kehlani’s vocals that soothe and Cardi’s verses that demand more than just promises. Lyrically there is relief in being seen, in resting your head knowing someone has your back until the nightmares show their teeth. Kehlani sings about being soothed “when I be going out my mind.” That contrast between trust and betrayal makes the track hit harder.

What elevates Safe is the context. Cardi has been through legal fights, personal changes and now growing life inside her. She confirms her pregnancy with NFL star Stefon Diggs. Feeling “safe” isn’t just a lyric for her right now. It’s something real, fragile, precious. Fans are calling this video a high point in the album. They say Cardi is leveling up not by shouting the loudest but by showing the raw edges.

If you’re watching Safe, bring tissues. It is a visual of hope, heartbreak and the truth about needing more than words. Cardi and Kehlani aren’t just making songs. They are holding mirrors. And we are seeing ourselves.
