Cardi B 'Am I The Drama?': Every celebrity dissed by rapper in the sophomore studio album 

Cardi B released Am I the Drama? on September 19, 2025. The 23-track album arrives more than seven years after her debut and mixes straightforward, angry verses with softer, personal songs about family and trust. She uses some tracks to answer past shots from other artists, and other tracks to work through the end of her marriage.

The project features guest spots from Megan Thee Stallion, Lizzo, Janet Jackson, and Selena Gomez, and it has already sparked discussion about which lines are aimed at which people. Cardi B has explained publicly why she chose to respond in music rather than stay silent.

As reported by RapUp, on The Breakfast Club, she said,

“When my kids grow up one day and they see that, they’re going to ask me, ‘So what you said, what you did?’ I’m not going to tell my kids I took the high road,”

Cardi insisted. “I’m like, you see how I violated it?”.

That interview helps explain why some of the album’s harshest bars answer specific past songs and public comments. Reporters and reviewers are now matching lyrics to earlier diss tracks and public exchanges to show who Cardi B appears to be naming.

Cardi B targets BIA on “Pretty & Petty” and explains why she answered

On “Pretty & Petty,” Cardi directly responds to BIA’s earlier record. People reports, Cardi mocking BIA’s catalog and making repeated personal jabs. Cardi B told The Breakfast Club that she felt BIA crossed a line by referencing her children in 2024, and that pushed her to reply in song.

As reported by People, “Magnet” names JT from City Girls and also includes lines aimed at Ice Spice and Lil Uzi Vert. Coverage points to verses that call out a “fake friend” and question another artist’s placement in the industry. Writers say the song mixes personal accusation (disloyalty, backstabbing) with braggadocio aimed at rivals.

A set of songs including “Man of Your Word,” “What’s Goin’ On,” and “Shower Tears” read as direct reflections on Cardi B’s split from Offset, which became public in 2024. Those tracks focus on promises that were not kept, the emotional cost of the split, and how the fallout played out under public scrutiny. Reviewers note these songs show grief and anger side by side rather than only headline-seeking disses.

Some lines point to long-running rivalries without naming names

Beyond explicit call-outs, a few passages appear to target long-standing feuds in rap without spelling out a name. Critics have singled out the opener “Dead” and other verses as likely aimed at figures from earlier disputes. As not every line names a person, listeners and outlets are interpreting intent from context, past public fights, and timing.

What does Cardi say about replying in music?

Cardi B has summed up her approach bluntly. She answered when she felt the lines went too far, especially if her children were mentioned. As Rap Up reported, remarking on the album rollout,

“I told you, b**ch, I was gon’ reply on my time,”

She rapped in the outro.

Making clear that the replies were chosen and staged as part of the record.
