‘Am I the Drama?’ set for September release with fiery visuals and bold words
After a seven-year hiatus since her Grammy-winning debut Invasion of Privacy, Cardi B has officially announced her long-anticipated second album, Am I the Drama?, set for release on September 19.
The Bronx rapper revealed the album’s striking cover art, which features her clad in a dramatic red gown, flanked by two crows—symbolizing transformation and perhaps, vengeance. In a passionate Instagram video accompanying the reveal, Cardi reflects on her journey, declaring, “Seven years of love, light and loss… I’m not your villain, I’m your karma.”
The rapper previously expressed frustration over pending guest features delaying the project, urging fellow artists on X Spaces to contribute, saying, “I’ll sing this s–t myself! But I really need y’all.”
The first single from the album, “Outside,” dropped last Friday and immediately sparked conversation for its fiery lyrics aimed at estranged husband Offset, whom she is currently divorcing. Cardi also makes a bold nod to new beau, NFL star Stefon Diggs, with unfiltered braggadocio.
Offset has yet to comment publicly on the diss-laden track, though he released his own new song, “Bodies,” featuring JID—conspicuously absent of any response.
