In a subsequent Instagram post, she shared a video of herself surrounded by fake crows, while saying in the voiceover:

"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. 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 tyrant."

Furthermore, in her recent Instagram post on September 14, Cardi B revealed all the artists who will be featured on Am I the Drama?. Besides Janet Jackson, Cash Cobain, Kehlani, Lizzo, Selena Gomez, Tyla, and Summer Walker will also be on the album.
