It has been more than seven years since Cardi B dropped her debut album Invasion of Privacy, and fans have been begging for new music ever since. The wait is almost over. On Friday, September 19, Cardi will release her long-awaited follow-up, Am I The Drama?.
Singles Setting the Stage
Cardi has been warming up the charts ahead of the big release. Her summer smash “Outside” climbed all the way to No. 1 on Billboard’s Rhythmic and Rap Airplay charts and landed in the Hot 100’s top 10. More recently, she served up “Imaginary Players,” a slick and confident reminder of why she remains one of rap’s most magnetic voices. Together, the two tracks give just a glimpse of what this new era holds.
A Star-Studded Guest List
Now Cardi is letting fans in on the full picture. Am I The Drama? comes packed with powerhouse collaborations, and the lineup has people screaming. The guest list includes Janet Jackson, Kehlani, Lizzo, Tyla, Megan Thee Stallion, Summer Walker, Selena Gomez, and Cash Cobain.
Reactions flooded social media the moment Cardi shared the names. One fan wrote, “When I say you went tf AWF!!! I’m so proud of you cause this is everything!” Another added, “Cardi and Janet is exactly what I need.” A third summed it up best: “This line up is so epic!!!”
A Pop-Up Celebration
To kick off the countdown, Cardi hosted a surprise pop-up in New York City over the weekend. Crowds swarmed Washington Heights to celebrate the new era with her, turning the block into a hometown party. It was a reminder of how deeply fans connect with her story — and how ready they are to ride with her into this next chapter.
