Cardi B confirms long-awaited second studio album
Cardi B has confirmed she will drop her second studio album later this year. The Bodak Yellow rapper unveiled her debut album, Invasion of Privacy, back in April 2018. After fielding questions from fans about when they can expect new music for the past seven years, Cardi announced on Monday that her sophomore project, Am I the Drama?, will be released on 19 September. "Marking a bold evolution in her sound and storytelling, the project arrives after her record-breaking debut album Invasion of Privacy - not just aiming to top it but showing how far she's come and how much more she has to say," a press release reads. Limited-edition merchandise, including a vinyl and CD version, is now available to pre-order from her website. Taking to Instagram, Cardi - real name Belcalis Almánzar - also shared the cover art for the album. In the image, she is depicted wearing a red dress with a sculptural neckline while two crows fly near her. "Counting the days!!!" exclaimed Shakira, while Taraji P. Henson declared, "LET'S F**KIN GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLOOOOOOOO (sic)." Am I the Drama? includes 2020 hit WAP featuring Megan Thee Stallion, 2021 track Up, and new single Outside. Over the weekend, Cardi teased a big announcement by sharing a video in which she poses in a black dress adorned with fake crows. "Seven years and the time has come. Seven years of love, life, and loss. Seven years I gave them grace, but now, I give them hell," the 32-year-old narrates over the footage. "I learned power is not given, it's taken. I'm shedding feathers and no more tears. I'm not back, I'm beyond. I'm not your villain, I'm your karma. The time is here. The time is now."

Okurrr! Cardi B's sophomore album 'Am I the Drama?' finally set to release this fall
Cardi B, entering the newest phase of her rap career, has just one question in mind: "Am I the Drama?" That's the title for the Grammy winner's long-anticipated sophomore album, which she unveiled Monday on social media. The "Bodak Yellow" artist, 32, announced "Am I the Drama?" will drop Sept. 19, seven years after she made her splashy debut with 2018's "Invasion of Privacy." The aptly dramatic "Am I the Drama?" cover art features Cardi B in an abstract red body suit and matching fishnet tights grabbing the heel of one of her sky-high platform pumps. The image also features a raven resting on her shoe and even more of them swarming around her.

"I learned power's not given. It's taken," the Bronx native says. "I'm shedding feathers and no more tears. I'm not back. I'm beyond." Cardi B broke out with "Bodak Yellow" almost a year before she released "Invasion of Privacy" in April 2018. Times critic Mikael Wood in his review commended the rapper for her relatability — "through her words and delivery ... the songs make you feel like she's speaking directly to you." At the 2019 Grammy Awards, Cardi B won a top honor and made history while doing so: She became the first woman to win the rap album category as a solo artist.

"Am I the Drama?" will arrive as Cardi B also marks new milestones in her personal life. Earlier this year, the "Hustlers" actor made her romance with NFL star Stefon Diggs official after parting ways with Migos rapper Offset. She also became a mother for a third time in September when she welcomed her daughter Blossom Belles, with Offset. They also share 6-year-old daughter Kulture and 3-year-old son Wave.
