Cardi B has delivered a comeback that lives up to the hype. Her sophomore album, Am I the Drama?, has officially been certified double platinum by the RIAA—an extraordinary achievement just days after its release.
Released September 19, 2025, the 23-track set mixes fierce bravado, personal revelation, and sharp diss bars. It’s built on the momentum of hits like “WAP” and “Up” (both included on the album), which contributed to its instant strong performance. The album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, marking Cardi’s second straight chart-topper.
This double-platinum status makes Am I the Drama? the highest-certified female rap album of the 2020s so far. It’s a bold statement—proof that Cardi’s artistic hunger, presence, and fanbase remain unstoppable. The album’s critical reception has also spotlighted her lyrical confidence, production choices, and willingness to revisit past conflicts with renewed perspective.
With this triumph, Cardi doesn’t just reclaim momentum—she asserts that her narrative and explosive return are very much her own.
