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.

SZA teases possible feature on Cardi B's new album
R&B star SZA has sparked fresh speculation of a collaboration with Cardi B following a cryptic comment left on social media. The buzz began after Cardi B officially announced her long-awaited sophomore album, Am I the Drama?, set to drop on September 19, 2025. While fans were already excited by the album's striking artwork and Cardi's dramatic teaser video, it was SZA's unexpected comment that truly stole the spotlight. Under a post promoting Am I the Drama?, the 'Kill Bill' singer wrote, 'Lemme send this verse chile,' prompting fans to believe she may be featured on the upcoming record. The brief remark immediately ignited conversations across social media platforms, with users speculating whether SZA had already recorded a verse or was offering to do so. Some fans pointed to Cardi B's previous statements about waiting on artist features as further evidence of an impending collaboration. Although neither Cardi B nor SZA have officially confirmed a song together, the timing and tone of the comment suggest a musical connection could be in the works. Cardi's new album already includes the hit single 'Outside' and arrives during a period of significant public attention, especially following her recent relationship updates involving NFL star Stefon Diggs. If confirmed, a Cardi B and SZA track would mark a major moment in contemporary music, blending rap and R&B powerhouses for what could become one of the most talked-about collaborations of 2025. For now, fans remain alert and eager, hoping this tease will soon lead to an official announcement.
