Cardi B’s new album ”Am I the Drama?” Drops in September. Cardi B broke her seven-year silence today by announcing her long-awaited sophomore album, Am I the Drama?, set to drop on September 19, 2025, via Atlantic Records.

Since her debut in 2018 with Invasion of Privacy, she kept fans waiting through a swirl of singles, collaborations, motherhood, and even political activism. But now the full-length follow-up is finally on the horizon.

Dramatic Tease Sets Tone

She introduced the album with a cinematic teaser on June 22, featuring shadowy ravens and a powerful monologue:

“Seven years of love, life, and loss … I’m not back; I’m beyond. I’m not your villain; I’m your karma … The time is here. The time is now.”

The visuals featured Cardi surrounded by crows in an estate, elegantly foreshadowing the dark, empowered vibe she’s embracing .

Tracklist Includes Fan Favorites

Am I the Drama? will feature 23 tracks, including previously released hits Outside, Up, and the 2020 sensation WAP all now confirmed to be part of the full roster.

“Outside” Ignites the Rollout

She dropped “Outside” on June 20, her first solo track in over a year. Produced by Charlie Heat, HeyMicki, and DJ SwanQo, the single combines fiery lyrics with punchy beats. Cardi delivered its live debut at Spotify’s Cannes Beach event on June 18, intensifying buzz around the release.

Personal Turmoil in the Music

Critics and fans alike hint that the album will reflect her personal journey, especially her highly publicized split from Offset. That breakup appears central to the album’s emotional weight, with the teaser suggesting a dramatic breakup narrative course.

Behind the Scenes Evolution

After Invasion of Privacy, Cardi diversified her presence joining TV, activism, and fashion. She worked on dozens of recordings during the album’s six-year gestation, perfecting her sound until it truly reflected her growth.
