Cardi B is ending a two-year dry spell for female rappers on the charts with her second album, AM I THE DRAMA?. According to Kurrco and HITS Daily Double, the album is set to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with 205,000 units sold — 90,000 of which are pure sales (CDs and vinyl).
This marks the first time a female rapper has topped the chart since Nicki Minaj’s Pink Friday 2 in 2023, which opened with nearly 230,000 units.
Initial projections placed Cardi’s first-week numbers between 125,000 and 150,000, but strong demand pushed that well above 200,000. It’s an especially notable comeback after a seven-year gap between albums, proving her star power remains strong.
While critics and fans are divided on the album’s quality, the commercial success speaks volumes: Cardi B is back.
However, the album’s release has stirred controversy. A track titled "Magnet" reignited Cardi’s feud with JT and Lil Uzi Vert, mocking their relationship and Uzi’s sexuality with harsh lyrics. JT responded with insults on social media, and Cardi clapped back with accusations involving abortions and private conversations.
JT has denied the claims, and the tension between the two artists continues to escalate.
