Cardi B's latest tune samples this Jay-Z classic
Boasting a sample of Jay-Z's 1997 classic Imaginary Player, the tune was produced by DJ SwanQo, Sean Island, and OctaneThisThatGas, and is a swagger-soaked anthem that doubles down on Cardi's signature bravado.
Telling fans about getting the music mogul's seal of approval, Cardi spilled on X Space this week: 'I was so happy because you guys understand, the song is kinda long… This song is like a staple for me and I had to get it approved by the one and only.
'It's a very hip-hop record and I hope you guys enjoy it.'
It arrives with a cinematic companion video co-directed by Cardi herself alongside longtime creative partner Patience Foster.
Through her joint venture, she's already sold out multiple limited-edition merch box sets, including a headline-grabbing WWE collaboration. The newly launched Imaginary Playerz box set and alternate album cover art are available now - but only in limited quantities at CardiB.com.
The WWE tie-in isn't just for show. Cardi made her hosting debut at SummerSlam on August 2, where she previewed new music and sent fans into a frenzy. That same week, she dropped Outside, the first single from Am I The Drama?, which debuted in the Top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 - her 13th Top 10 hit - and soared to #1 on Apple Music, marking her first chart-topper since the multi-platinum Up.
Cardi's new era kicked off with a bang at the Cannes Spotify Beach Party in June, where she performed Outside live for the first time.
Am I The Drama? is released on September 19.

WWE star Logan Paul marries Nina Agdal
Logan Paul has married Nina Agdal. The 30-year-old wrestler - who first found fame on YouTube - and the 33-year-old model tied the knot during a lavish ceremony near Lake Como in Italy on Friday (15.08.25). Jake Paul, Logan's younger brother, was among the guests at the wedding, and he shared several clips from the big day on social media. Jake, 28, captioned one video clip on Instagram: "I've seriously been crying." The wedding ceremony was actually officiated by podcast host Mike Majlak, who donned a black tuxedo for the big day. Logan wore a white suit jacket with a black bow tie for the ceremony, while Nina wore a spectacular lace wedding dress. The loved-up couple have been spotted together in the region in recent days, with Logan and Nina being photographed kayaking and swimming. The celebrity duo actually got engaged in Italy two years ago, with the couple announcing the news via a joint Instagram post. They wrote on Instagram at the time: "Engaged to my best friend [ring emoji] (sic)" In 2024, Nina gave birth to their first child, a daughter called Esme. And Logan previously admitted that fatherhood has transformed his life, explaining that he's become "less selfish". The WWE star told People: "I'm no longer my first priority. It's made me less selfish. Prior to Nina, I was No. 1 in my life. "Now with Esme, my daughter, I've dropped two rungs down the priority ladder. It's Esmé, Nina, those are interchangeable – then me. "So for the first time in my life, I'm not my first concern. I would die for these women. I haven't been able to say that about anyone." Nina also observed that fatherhood had changed Logan, revealing that he's more "motivated" than ever since becoming a dad. The model - who began dating Logan in 2022 - said: "He has actually gotten more motivated, I would almost say. He's working really hard, he wants to show her that she can do anything. "He's obviously a softy with her, he loves her so much. But he's become very dedicated to pursuing even bigger dreams."

Nikki Garcia plans to try 'slow dating'
Nikki Garcia is ready to try "slow dating". The 41-year-old star - who was married to Artem Chigvintsev between 2022 and 2024 - has revealed that she's ready to return to the dating pool, but Nikki doesn't want to rush into another relationship. On the latest episode of The Nikki and Brie Show, she shared: "We are coming into the era of slow dating, which means, according to apps, if I was to start talking to someone right now, I will still be in that talking stage by Christmas. "Slow dating's in, which I'm like, 'Wait, Wait, this might be a good era for me to be single in.'" Nikki explained that slow dating - which focuses on building a connection over time - is the perfect approach for where she's currently at in her life. She said: "This is what I like. You're not gonna push me to commit or have sex or whatever else that we could just start to chat and work our way into, is this worth it? Do we move forward?" Nikki believes slow dating is actually a sensible option for people seeking lasting love. She explained: "I love that this is now becoming a thing for people and that green flags are finally trending. "Like, people, instead of always talking about the red flags or this or, like, I still went into it, people are more like no. Let's talk about the green and how sexy that is." Meanwhile, Nikki recently revealed that she wants a man with "edge". The WWE star explained that she would love her new partner to have "swag". Nikki - who was previously engaged to wrestler-turned-actor John Cena - told People: "I need edge. I like a proper boy, but if he's too proper, I'm like, 'Hmm I can't do it.' So I want edge, I want swag, but I want someone who can run a boardroom, who can get in the gym." Nikki named Chris Hemsworth and Channing Tatum as her ideal celebrity men. Speaking about her ideal partner, Nikki confessed: "I'm like Chris Hemsworth, like Troy-type of girl, or Channing Tatum."
