Cardi B’s Latest Album Achieves A Huge 2020s Milestone For Female Rappers
2025 has turned out to be a huge year for Cardi B, whether because of the birth of her son with Stefon Diggs or the arrival of her long-awaited second album, AM I THE DRAMA? According to chart data on Twitter, Billboard’s most recent tracking week for their 200 albums chart shows that the project has now hit a very impressive milestone.
AM I THE DRAMA? now holds the record for the most weeks in the chart’s top ten for a female rap album this decade, with eight total weeks at the time of writing. Many fans celebrated the accomplishment, while some critics pointed to other major releases such as Nicki Minaj’s Pink Friday 2. In addition, the album’s variants and updated versions with bonus tracks, including the “Errtime” remix featuring Jeezy and Latto, sparked some debate.
Regardless, the achievement highlights the strong staying power the LP has shown this year, and time will tell if it extends this record even further. It is definitely welcome news for the Bronx superstar, even as she continues to face more negative and complicated stories surrounding her name.
One of the biggest issues in her life right now is Cardi B’s messy divorce process. Over the weekend, she went on a Twitter rant accusing someone of harassment, threats, and hostility, which many fans took as shots aimed at Offset. This came after online speculation that he might legally be considered the father of her newborn with Stefon Diggs.
For those who may not know, Georgia state law assumes that a woman’s husband is the legal father of her children, regardless of biological paternity. Reports indicate that the former couple legally married in Georgia. Offset even reportedly posted, then quickly deleted, an Instagram Story saying “My kid lol” as the rumors spread. However, Diggs can file for legitimation, and the mother of four is said to have the final legal say.
With Cardi B and Offset already navigating a complicated divorce, this possible legal twist could have significant implications. For now, though, the situation remains speculative. At least both artists are still seeing positive moments with their new music and releases. Am I The Drama? may keep this record for some time… but we will have to wait and see.
