Cardi B waited seven years to release her second album because she’s “very picky”.<\/p>\n
\nThe rapper’s first record Invasion of Privacy was released in 2018 and the follow up Am I the Drama? is finally due to land later this month and Cardi B has now admitted there was a long gap between the records because she wanted to make sure every song was right and she struggled to narrow down her track list.<\/p>\n
\nShe told Billboard: “I always knew that I was going to drop a second album, I just didn\u2019t have a project well put together.<\/p>\n
\n“My fans be like: ‘Oh, you should have put a project together when WAP and Up was out [in 2020 and 2021 respectively] but I only had four records that I liked. <\/p>\n
\n“I didn\u2019t have an album done around that time. I\u2019m not the kind of person that\u2019s going to lock in in two months and complete an album. I\u2019m very picky with my music.”<\/p>\n
\nShe added: “I want to put out this whole project because I have a lot of songs. I recorded 60 songs. Every other day, I\u2019m a different person, I change my mind [about everything]. <\/p>\n
\n“My team is always like: ‘I hope you don\u2019t change your mind about your songs.’ I\u2019m like: ‘Nope. I\u2019m settled’.”<\/p>\n
\nCardi B also insisted she makes more money from her live shows than her records but she still didn’t want to rush her second release just to cash in on a tour.<\/p>\n
\nShe explained: “A lot of people say I got comfortable because I make money, but the most money I make is when I go and do shows … <\/p>\n
\n“I could rush and put out music like it\u2019s nothing and then pick up millions of dollars per show, but it\u2019s not about that. I want the music to be great. I want it to be amazing.”<\/p>\n
\nAm I the Drama? features 23 tracks including WAP and Up as well as her two most recent singles Outside and Imaginary Playerz, which boasts a sample of Jay-Z’s 1997 classic Imaginary Player.<\/p>\n
\nThe new album is due for release on September 19.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Cardi B waited seven years to release her second album because she’s “very picky”.
