Am I the Drama? arrives seven years after Cardi B’s debut Invasion of Privacy, and it’s both a defiant return and an emotional reckoning. Throughout its 23 tracks, Cardi doesn’t shy away from confrontation—taking aim at public enemies, past relationships, and the pressure that fame brings—while also showing vulnerability, especially about her divorce with Offset.
Musically, the album is sprawling: trap bangers, R&B & pop-leaning songs, guest features, samples, and even previously released hits like WAP and Up. Despite its length, the record holds together around the theme of “drama,” exploring whether it’s something she causes or something that chases her, and offering catharsis through bold lyricism, theatrical flair, and unapologetic energy. It’s not flawless—some tracks feel like filler—but overall it reminds everyone why she’s one of the most forceful voices in hip-hop.
