Cardi B has announced that Janet Jackson, Selena Gomez, and Lizzo will appear on her upcoming album Am I the Drama?.
The “WAP” hitmaker partnered with Spotify on Monday (September 15, 2025) to reveal more of the artists featured on her highly anticipated second album, which arrives this Friday (September 19).
Taking to social media, Cardi asked fans: “WHO ELSE IS THE DRAMA?”
Her lineup of collaborators also includes Megan Thee Stallion, Kehlani, and Tyla.
Cardi has yet to share the official tracklist, but the project is expected to feature several reunions. She previously linked up with Kehlani on “Ring” from her 2018 debut Invasion of Privacy.
The “Bodak Yellow” rapper also joined Selena on DJ Snake’s viral hit “Taki Taki” back in 2018 and worked with Lizzo on “Rumors” in 2021.
In recent weeks, Cardi has been stepping up promotion for her new release, even hitting the streets of New York to build excitement ahead of the drop.
During an appearance on The Jennifer Hudson Show, the 32-year-old star shared: “I am so overwhelmed… It’s like I’m pushing another baby. It was fully finished, and this is exactly what’s been missing out there. I touched on everything I wanted to cover.”
Cardi recently explained that the reason she waited seven years for a follow-up was because she is “very picky.”
Speaking to Billboard, the “Money” rapper said: “I always knew I was going to release a second album, I just didn’t have a project that felt complete. My fans would say, ‘Oh, you should have dropped a project when WAP and Up were out,’ but I only had four songs that I really liked. I didn’t have a full album ready at that time. I’m not the type to lock in for two months and call it done. I’m very selective with my music.”
She added, “I want to put out the whole project because I’ve got so many songs. I recorded 60 tracks. Every other day, I feel like a different person, and I change my mind about everything. My team always says, ‘We hope you don’t change your mind about your songs.’ But I’m like, ‘Nope, I’m sure now.’”
Although Cardi admits she makes more money performing live than from her records, she said she wasn’t going to rush her second release just to cash in on a tour.
She explained: “A lot of people think I got too comfortable because I make money, but my biggest paychecks come from shows. I could easily rush out music and then pull in millions for each performance, but that’s not what I want. I want the music to be solid. I want it to be unforgettable.”
Fontaines D.C. have teamed up with Rosalía for their new collaboration, Where Is Gone?.
The song features on the Irish rock band's forthcoming album, Dopamine Chamber, which arrives on Friday (16.10.26). For guitarist Carlos O’Connell, working with the Spanish superstar is particularly special because of his own Spanish roots.
He explained: “I’ve admired Rosalía ever since her debut album, which I thought was absolutely beautiful.
“What excited me most was the way she continued to preserve Spain's musical traditions, something that felt spiritually connected to what we've been trying to achieve with Irish music. Having roots in both countries, it's been really special to witness. "She's an artist who has continued to amaze me at every point in her career.”
Frontman Grian Chatten has also described the collaboration with Rosalía as one of the most memorable achievements of his career.
He revealed that he felt "humbled" when she agreed to lend her voice to the band's album.
Speaking to NPR, Grian said: “I've always felt there's something almost like a single big idea that I'm personally trying to communicate to the world before I get old and die, if that makes sense. There's one thing I think I'll spend my life trying to express. I have a feeling she has a similar outlook. … I mean, she's an amazing arranger, composer and lyricist. It means so much that she wanted to sing on something we'd put together. It's definitely one of the highlights of my career.”
Rosalía's links to Irish rock music extend beyond Fontaines D.C. She also offered inspiration and helped develop the Spanish lyrics for U2's The Mirror Maker (Rosalía), a track from their forthcoming album, Carnaval de Luz.
During an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon last week, she spoke about frontman Bono, saying: “I don't know him personally, but he sent me a text explaining that he was working on a new project and had written a song called The Mirror Maker."
Rosalía joked that Bono had invented a few words of his own.
She recalled telling him: “I wasn't sure what to make of it, but I told him he could create his own language if he wanted to.”
She described the opportunity to collaborate with the 66 year old music veteran as a real privilege.
She added: “Bono is a legend.
“It's amazing.”
Bono recently revealed that he was worried about seeming like a stalker when he reached out to Rosalía to ask whether he could name the song after her.
