"Asking Cardi B to mind her tongue is like asking an oceanic creature to abandon its undersea home. It's not fucking happening. The Bronx MC lives and breathes controversy, even when she's not intentionally courting it. Since her 2017 breakthrough single, "Bodak Yellow," Cardi B has steadily revealed herself to be the high-profile celebrity of our time, a larger-than-life personality who is just as quick to dress down the average Barb as she is to eviscerate her own peers."
"Between a messy divorce, babies (babies, and more babies), rap beefs, internet vitriol, and court cases, Cardi B has remained in the public eye. This is all despite the fact that she hadn't released an album since 2018's Grammy-winning Invasion of Privacy. Her new album, Am I the Drama?, confirms that yes, Cardi B is the reason for all of the chaotic situations she constantly finds herself in - but is she at fault, or is she just shining too bright?"
""Sometimes, fans or people will be like, 'Oh, don't give them energy,' 'They don't deserve your energy,' or like, 'They don't deserve your clout or your attention.' And it's like, nah, you know what? Fuck it. I'mma give it to you. It's like, fuck it, I'mma give it to you. Because sometimes people be like, 'Just ignore, ignore, ignore. Take the high road.' And it's like, ' Fuck the high road.'""
Cardi B consistently courts controversy and remains a dominant public figure since 2017's "Bodak Yellow." Between divorce, children, rap beefs, online vitriol, and legal issues, she has stayed in the spotlight despite not releasing an album since 2018's Grammy-winning Invasion of Privacy. Her new album, Am I the Drama?, positions her as simultaneously the instigator and the victim of public chaos, framing herself as blameless against critics and unfaithful partners. She rejects advice to ignore provocateurs, choosing instead to confront and fuel the drama as artistic inspiration. The album opens with "Dead," featuring Summer Walker, signaling a confrontational, vindicative tone.
