Cardi B isn’t the only one behind the drama.

Before her sophomore album Am I the Drama? drops at the end of the week, the rapper asked on Instagram “WHO ELSE IS THE DRAMA?” before revealing on Monday (Sept. 15) the LP’s eight featured artists: Cash Cobain, Janet Jackson, Kehlani, Lizzo, Megan Thee Stallion, Selena Gomez, Summer Walker and Tyla.
Since Cardi already confirmed (and defended her decision to include) her and Meg’s Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 smash “WAP” would be on Am I the Drama?, it’s no surprise to see the Htown Hottie’s name on the list. Cardi had also previously tapped Kehlani on “Ring” from her 2018 debut album Invasion of Privacy. Lizzo featured Cardi on her 2021 single “Rumors,” which reached No. 4 on the Hot 100. And Walker included “Bitter – Narration by Cardi B” on her Billboard 200-topping sophomore album Still Over It, which also featured Cardi’s extended version of Walker and SZA’s “No Love” single. Cardi and Gomez have also previously collaborated on DJ Snake‘s 2018 smash “Taki Taki,” also featuring Ozuna.
In July 2024, the Bronx native teased a song meant for her second album that samples Jackson’s “Funny How Time Flies (When You’re Having Fun)” from her 1986 album Control.
Am I the Drama? drops Friday, Sept. 19 via Atlantic Records. Outside of her chart-topping hits “WAP” and “Up,” Cardi has released two more singles ahead of her long-awaited full-length project: the Hot 100 top 10 “Outside” and the Jay Z-sampling “Imaginary Playerz.”
