The post Cardi B Asks Am I The Drama? On New Album appeared com. Cardi B Getty Images for Revolve & FWRD After the release of her Grammy-winning debut album Invasion of Privacy, Cardi B fans waited with bated breath for the rappers next move. The Bronx-bred MC released several singles over the subsequent years, and now, seven years after her first LP, Cardis long-awaited sophomore album Am I the Drama? is finally here. Am I the Drama? s release arrives days after Cardi announced her pregnancy with NFL player Stefon Diggs. The past year has been filled with ups and downs in the rappers personal life, from her filing for divorce from rapper Offset last summer and the birth of her third child last September to her growing relationship with Diggs this year. Unsurprisingly, Cardi takes aim at her soon-to-be-ex-husband as well as other rappers on the new album. Cardi offers emotions ranging from anger to sadness in her lyrics addressing Offset on songs like Man of Your Word, Shower Tears, Whats Goin On, and Magnet. Magnet in particular is a blistering track where the hit-making rapper takes no prisoners, alluding to feuds with fellow women in hip-hop like JT and Ice Spice, speaking more directly to BIA on Pretty & Petty. Along the way, she collaborates with stars like Selena Gomez, Lizzo, Tyla, and Summer Walker; she even samples Janet Jacksons hit The Pleasure Principle on Principal, marking the music icons first-ever feature on a woman artists album. The album is a long-welcome return to the top of the hip-hop heap for Cardi, demonstrating that she wasnt a one-album wonder despite seven years passing since her debut LP. In fact, shes been laying in wait the whole time, perfecting the project and ensuring that her comeback is as impactful as possible. Case in point: the rapper, about halfway through her current.
