Cardi B Defends Album Tracklist, Teases SZA Feature

Cardi B has publicly defended the inclusion of her past hits 'WAP' and 'Up' on her upcoming sophomore album, 'Am I The Drama?', set for release on September 19, 2025, stating they are fan favorites and will not count toward first-week sales. She addressed criticism that their inclusion is a sales strategy, emphasizing that fans have long requested these tracks on an album. Anticipation for the album is heightened by SZA's viral comment hinting at a possible collaboration, though nothing has been officially confirmed. The album marks Cardi B's return seven years after her Grammy-winning debut, 'Invasion of Privacy.' Her recent single 'Outside' is believed to reference her relationship with NFL player Stefon Diggs. Public interest in Cardi B's personal life, including her custody of her children following her divorce from Offset, has also contributed to attention around the release.
