Rap star Cardi B is officially in album mode. Her sophomore project, Am I The Drama? Releases on September 19.
Seven years have passed since Cardi B released her debut album, Invasion of Privacy. But she has still remained a hot topic in the music industry. Largely because of the exorbitant number of rap beefs she has been involved in over the years. Whether it was with Nicki Minaj, JT, or Bia, Cardi always seems to find herself at the center of drama.
Cardi B Addresses Past Beefs Ahead of Album Release
Ironically enough, that is where she got the inspiration for the name of her new album.
“It’s like, ‘Damn, does drama chase me? Or am I the drama?” Cardi said during a recent interview with Apple Music 1 via Billboard. “I just really think I was born with an anointed light. Sometimes the light is great, but it also disturbs people’s peace. It draws people to me, and it’s not always going to be good. That light might bother people. Maybe it’s too bright, it’s too loud. It’s always been like this to me.”
Cardi also went on to say that in most cases, she is not the instigator in her rap feuds. But for some reason, her mere presence seems to bother her industry contemporaries.
“Even in the industry, there are a lot of different female rappers, but for some reason, it’s something about me that these b—hes can’t stand. They can’t f–k with me. Some b—hes, I feel like they’re in this class right now, they’re sophomores, and I’m a senior,” she added.
“And it’s like, you want to f–k with the senior so bad. You think you’re here with the senior. You’re not even a junior. You need to worry about those other sophomores before you start worrying about the f–king senior. It’s something about [me] that it’s like, they can’t even focus on them. Throwing me shots and throwing me slings … and I’m sick of it. It’s like, f–k you, f–k everybody.”
