The 23-track project features collaborations with Janet Jackson, Lizzo, Selena Gomez, Megan Thee Stallion, Cash Cobain, Kehlani, Summer Walker and Tyla.<\/p>\n<p>Cardi B threads in past hits like \u201cUp\u201d and \u201cWAP\u201d with Megan Thee Stallion. That choice sparked criticism online for padding the album with older material.<\/p>\n<p>However, Cardi B, never one to duck an argument, clapped back on X in June:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis will be the last and only time I\u2019m gonna address this\u2026\u2018WAP\u2019 and \u2018Up\u2019 are two of my biggest songs\u2026they deserve a home.\u201d She added, \u201cThese two songs don\u2019t even count for first week sales so what are yall even crying about???\u2026 Now let them eat cake. Go cry about it!!!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Alongside those chart-toppers, Cardi unleashed fresh tracks too. The chest-thumping \u201cOutside\u201d and the breezier \u201cImaginary Playerz\u201d showcase her range between hard-hitting anthems and smoother, radio-ready flows.<\/p>\n<p>Cardi\u2019s personal life has only amplified the spotlight. Her relationship with Diggs \u2014 who joined the Patriots this season after years as one of the NFL\u2019s top receivers \u2014 has drawn as much attention off the field as on it. The couple kept a low profile until this week\u2019s pregnancy reveal, marking their first child together.<\/p>\n<p>The announcement capped a turbulent stretch for Cardi B, who also prevailed this month in a lawsuit filed by a security guard alleging assault during a doctor\u2019s visit while she was secretly pregnant years ago. The courtroom win and public reveal only sharpen the backdrop for \u201cAm I the Drama?\u201d, an album that leans into the very question that has hovered over her career.<\/p>\n<p>The rap star has three children from her previous marriage with rapper Offset: daughters Blossom, 1, and Kulture, 7, and son Wave, 4. Diggs also has a daughter from a previous relationship, Nova, who was born in 2016.<\/p>\n<p>Cardi B will now take all of her momentum into the Little Miss Drama Tour, her first arena tour. The 30-plus date trek begins Feb. 11 in Palm Desert, California, and wraps in Atlanta in April, with stops in Los Angeles, Chicago, New York and Toronto.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/news.az\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">News.Az<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Seven years after her groundbreaking debut &#8220;Invasion of Privacy&#8221;, Cardi B has made her long-awaited return with her&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":73095,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[268],"tags":[50115,922,434,18,117,19,17,50116],"class_list":{"0":"post-73094","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-am-i-the-drama-album","9":"tag-cardi-b","10":"tag-celebrities","11":"tag-eire","12":"tag-entertainment","13":"tag-ie","14":"tag-ireland","15":"tag-stefon-diggs"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73094","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=73094"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73094\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/73095"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=73094"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=73094"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=73094"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
