The second album cover art of Cardi B's Am I The Drama? comes a day after the Please Me rapper announced her second single, Imaginary Players. In an Instagram post uploaded on Monday, August 11, the rapper announced that the new track will be dropping on Friday, August 15.

Imaginary Players comes months after Cardi dropped the album's first single, Outside, on June 20, 2025, which became a commercial success, ranking at the top of Billboard's US Rhythmic singles chart.

Besides these two, her 2020 track, WAP, and her 2021 track, Up, are set to appear in the new album.

Cardi's decision to add her older tracks to Am I The Drama? had received backlash on the internet, which the rapper addressed in June, tweeting:

"This will be the last and only time I’m gonna address this.. WAP and Up are two of my biggest songs, my fans have been asking me to put them on an album, and people search for them on IOP all the time… they deserve a home.. I let haters make me not submit WAP for the Grammy’s and at this point I’m giving my fans what they want!"

Cardi went on to say that WAP and Up would not be counted in her upcoming album's first week sales, so there was no reason for netizens to be outraged over any foul play being involved in sales boosts.


Cardi B's Am I The Drama? comes seven years the rapper dropped her debut album, Invasion of Privacy, in 2018.
