Themes & Style

The title Am I the Drama? suggests a focus on the scrutiny, personal and public challenges, “real life drama” Cardi B has faced. Cardi has commented that the delay in releasing this album was in part due to perfectionism and wanting to live up to expectations, which indicates she’s placing high importance on quality. The inclusion of her older hits seems to be about providing what her audience wants and perhaps giving musical continuity — those tracks have become part of her identity.
