Cardi B Addresses Criticism of ‘WAP’ & ‘Up’ Being on ‘Am I the Drama?’: ‘Go Cry About It!’

Cardi B is setting the record straight on the speculation surrounding her hit singles “WAP” and “Up” being featured on her upcoming second album, titled *Am I the Drama?*. The outspoken Bronx artist didn’t hold back as she addressed critics and naysayers with a no-nonsense message on Wednesday evening.

In a bold move, Cardi B made it clear that she’s giving her fans what they’ve been clamoring for by including “WAP” and “Up” on her new album. Despite facing backlash for not submitting “WAP” for Grammy consideration, she is determined to prioritize her fans’ desires over industry politics. In her own words, “These two songs don’t even count for first week sales so what are y’all even crying about??? Do ya say anything when all these artists pull out all their little tricks and ponies to sell out??? Exactly… Now let them eat cake. Go cry about it!!!”

The decision to include these chart-topping hits won’t affect first-week sales, but it could potentially bolster RIAA certifications for Cardi B. Both “WAP” and “Up” soared to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in August 2020 and March 2021, respectively.

Making a triumphant return with her fiery single “Outside” on June 20, Cardi B is gearing up for a bustling summer filled with music and excitement for her devoted fan base, known as the Bardi Gang.

The highly-anticipated *Am I the Drama?* boasts a hefty 23-song tracklist, featuring the powerhouse tracks “WAP” and “Up.” Fans can mark their calendars for the album’s release on September 19, eagerly awaiting Cardi B’s next sonic adventure.

Transitioning from her groundbreaking debut album *Invasion of Privacy*, Cardi B’s journey to her sophomore release has been a saga of more than seven years. As she prepares to drop *Am I the Drama?*, the Grammy-winning rapper is navigating personal changes as well. Recently separated from her estranged husband Offset, Cardi B has found comfort and companionship in her relationship with NFL star Stefon Diggs.

The bond between Cardi B and Stefon Diggs is flourishing, with the duo making waves at Paris Fashion Week as they luxuriate in a grand French castle. As Cardi B continues to elevate her career and personal life, fans can expect her upcoming album to showcase her evolution as an artist and individual.
