Cardi B has officially launched the next chapter of her career with the announcement of her anticipated sophomore album, “Am I The Drama?”, available September 19.
Marking a bold evolution in her sound and storytelling, the project arrives after her record-breaking debut album, “Invasion Of Privacy” — not just aiming to top it, but showing how far she’s come and how much more she has to say.
To kick off this new era, she dropped her first single “Outside,” which peaked at #1 on Apple Music, marking her first #1 since the multi-platinum “Up.” The release immediately sparked a wave of excitement online with more than 163M Instagram followers driving momentum that continues to build.
The bass-heavy track appears to include digs at her ex-husband Offset and seemingly sees her confirm her relationship with New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs.
The 23-track album will also include her two previously released hits “Up” and “WAP” with Megan Thee Stallion.
In an Instagram post, Cardi B said in a voiceover as glamorous images of herself surrounded by (fake) crows rolled by: “Seven years and the time has come. Seven years of love, life and loss. Seven years I gave them grace, but now, I give them hell. I learned power is not given, it’s taken. I’m shedding feathers and no more tears. I’m not back, I’m beyond. I’m not your villain, I’m your tyrant. The time is here. The time is now.”
