GRAMMY® Award-winning, multi-diamond selling superstar Cardi B has officially launched the next chapter of her career with the announcement of her highly anticipated sophomore album, AM I THE DRAMA? available everywhere September 19. 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. To celebrate the announcement of her album, fans now have access to AM I THE DRAMA? limited edition merch which features vinyl, CD and box set available at CardiB.com.
To kick off this new era, she dropped her first single “Outside,” available everywhere now. “Outside” peaked at #1 on Apple Music this weekend and remains at the top of the chart, marking her first #1 since the multi-platinum “Up.” The release immediately sparked a wave of excitement online with more than 163M Instagram followers driving momentum that continues to build. In addition, “Outside” will be impacted at urban and rhythm radio today.
The fiery new anthem release follows her appearance at the Cannes Spotify Beach Party on Wednesday, June 18th, where she debuted “Outside” live for the very first time. She will also perform this weekend at LadyLand Festival in Brooklyn, NY, on June 27th.
“Enough (Miami),” released in March 2024, was a blazing track and the perfect record to kick off the spring break season. “Enough (Miami)” was accompanied by a high-octane companion visual (directed by: Patience Harding) following Cardi’s previous release, “Like What (Freestyle).” Both records served as the follow-up to a groundbreaking collaboration with Megan Thee Stallion, “Bongos.” Prior to “Bongos,” the pair released the historic and viral sensation, “WAP.” In 2020, this hit song (Feat. Megan Thee Stallion)” affirmed Cardi B as one of Apple Music’s most popular artists of all time, earning the platform’s highest-ever debut by a female artist as well as the fastest song in Apple Music history by a female artist to peak at #1. It also went #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, peaked at #1 on rhythmic radio, and rose to #2 on urban radio. “WAP” also won Favorite Song - Rap / Hip-Hop at the American Music Awards and won Best Collaboration and Video of the Year at the BET Awards. It was also nominated for Collaboration of the Year at the American Music Awards, nominated for five categories at the MTV Video Music Awards, and nominated for Best Music Video at the iHeart Music Awards. The visual has now reached over 550M views and the audio now has over 3.7B streams.
Cardi B is among the most significant musical artists of all time, regardless of genre, gender, or generation— all accomplished in less than a decade. Among her seemingly unstoppable list of accomplishments, she stands as the highest-certified female rapper on the RIAA’s “Top Artists (Digital Singles)” ranking with over 100 million RIAA-certified units sold, with 3 diamond certifications. Her chart-topping, GRAMMY® Award-winning, 4x RIAA platinum-certified debut album, Invasion of Privacy, continues to be a landmark achievement in female rap streaming history. All 13 tracks on Invasion of Privacy are now certified at least Platinum, and the smash 2018 album also includes the history-making Diamond-certified “Bodak Yellow.” Her extensive list of awards, nominations, and high-profile honors currently includes 10 GRAMMY® nominations and one win for Best Rap Album for her debut album Invasion of Privacy, eight Billboard Music Awards, six Guinness World Records, four Spotify One Billion Streams Awards, two ASCAP Songwriter of the Year Awards, eight ASCAP Pop Music Awards, 23 ASCAP Rhythm & Soul Music Awards, six American Music Awards, four MTV Video Music Awards, three iHeartRadio Titanium Awards, six BET Awards, 14 BET Hip Hop Awards, inclusion on TIME’s “TIME100: The 100 Most Influential People of 2018,” being named Entertainment Weekly’s 2018 “Entertainer of the Year” and Billboard’s 2020 “Woman of the Year,” along with countless other triumphs. Last year, she was named as iconic lifestyle brand Playboy’s first-ever Creative Director in Residence and founding member of Playboy’s creator-led platform. Since then, Cardi B has been on countless features, including a Platinum-certified single, “Put It On The Floor Again” with Latto.
