Cardi B returns with 'Am I the Drama?' and highlights collaborations with Tyla, Lizzo and Selena Gomez
Cardi B releases her next album 'Am I the Drama?' on Friday, September 19, and will explore different genres such as R&B and pop
On Friday, September 19, Cardi B returns to the music scene with her new material 'Am I the Drama?'. This work promises to be as explosive, authentic and full of personality as the artist herself. Six years after her acclaimed debut, 2018’s Invasion of Privacy, the New York rapper returns with a project that not only closes a chapter, but does so with some top-notch collaborations.
The reveal of these collaborations was as creative as it was strategic: Spotify billboards in Los Angeles and Miami, followed by a social media campaign that fueled fan expectations days before the release.
The album’s promotion has been intense and multifaceted. Cardi has already released singles like “Outside” and “Imaginary Playerz,” the latter featuring an iconic sample of Jay-Z’s 1997 “Imaginary Players,” showcasing her knack for blending nostalgia with innovation.
She also surprised fans with a whirlwind performance in New York City that drew hundreds of fans, and has in-store meet-and-greets planned in Cypress, Texas; Easton, Pennsylvania; Riverdale, Georgia; and Long Beach, California; next week.
Cardi B Speaks Out on “The Jennifer Hudson Show”
In an emotional interview on “The Jennifer Hudson Show,” Cardi explained why she decided to finally release the follow-up to her debut: “I feel like because it’s over, it’s completely over. I was like, ‘This is what’s been missing.’”
“I feel like I played everything I wanted to play, and I was like, ‘This is it. There’s no more room for it,’” she added. With these words, she reaffirmed that she wants to close out the phase of her debut and focus on what's next for her career.
Although she hasn't given specific dates, Cardi confirmed that she's already preparing a tour: "I'm already getting ready. I'm in the gym and taking dance classes." With her characteristic energy, it's clear that she doesn't plan on sitting still after the release.
The album title—'Am I the Drama?'—takes on an even deeper meaning in the wake of recent legal headlines involving the artist.
Recently acquitted of a $24 million lawsuit filed by a security guard who accused her of assault, Cardi responded with wry style, posting viral versions of her testimony under the album's tagline. Far from hiding, she transformed the moment into a statement of identity: yes, she generates headlines, but she also controls them.
