In the wake of her acclaimed sophomore album, Cardi B is already planning her next move. Just weeks after the release of Am I The Drama?, she joined fans on Twitter Spaces to discuss her vision for a new project. She made it clear that a deluxe edition or remix is not part of her plans. “I see you all asking if there’s going to be a deluxe or a remix album like Charli X,” she stated, clarifying that such additions won’t be part of her agenda. “Unfortunately, I’m not doing none of that. […] What I gave y’all is what y’all getting.”
Cardi revealed she’s focused on her third studio album, aiming for a release within the next year. “I want a new era; I kind of know what I want it to look like. It’s gonna be different from Am I The Drama?” she explained, signaling a transformative phase in her artistry.
Rivalries and Reinvention
Her upcoming project has attracted attention not only for her evolving sound but also for the ongoing feud with Nicki Minaj. Following the provocative content of Am I The Drama?, which included pointed references to JT, Lil Uzi Vert, and BIA, tensions reignited between the two rap icons. Their exchanges spilled into personal territory, fueling public fascination.
Insults aimed at each other’s children escalated the conflict. Minaj called Cardi’s daughter Kulture “ugly,” while Cardi implied Nicki’s son Papa Bear had disabilities. Though both later issued apologies, the reconciliations were widely viewed as lukewarm. Minaj even encouraged her fanbase to boycott Cardi’s endorsement partners. This prompted Cardi to respond during Twitter Spaces with defiance: “A lot of y’all been tagging all the companies that I get endorsements from, trying to take the endorsements from me and do funny s**t,” Cardi rebuffed. “Guess what? It’s not going to happen.”
This ongoing rivalry adds a charged backdrop to Cardi’s next album. Fans are eager to see how her artistry will navigate—or confront—the public drama. Her forthcoming era promises to be defined by both musical growth and a firm assertion of her place in hip-hop.
