Cardi B has officially unveiled the title and cover art for her long-awaited sophomore album, Am I the Drama?—and as expected, it's already stirring up buzz.
The controversy kicked off with the album's tracklist reveal, which includes two of Cardi’s previous chart-topping singles, “WAP” and “Up.” While fans were excited to see the hits featured, some questioned why songs released years ago were included on a new project.
The inclusion has also sparked discussion around reported sales figures, with Chart Data announcing via Twitter that the album has already moved over 1.5 million album units in the U.S.—three months ahead of its release. It remains unclear whether Billboard and the RIAA will count these numbers toward first-week sales, due to industry rules on catalog tracks.
In a dramatic teaser, Cardi reflected on the time between her debut and this new era, saying, “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's 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 karma. The time is here. The time is now.”
