Cardi B's Upcoming Album Title a Homage to Drag Star Scarlet Envy?

Is Cardi B paying homage to "Drag Race" star Scarlet Envy with an album title that echos the quotable queen's famous line?

Entertainment Weekly reported that the upcoming sophomore studio album from Cardi B is titled "Am I the Drama?" – a line that's forever associated with the "Drag Race" alum.

EW recalled that Scarlet Envy "first uttered her legendary question in a pre-season promotional interview for 'All Stars' 6 in 2021, with the quote instantly garnering fan adoration and sustaining through the years as a recurring meme."

The outlet relayed that the title did not seem to be an accidental echo of Scarlet Envy's one-liner, but rather a conscious quotation, relaying that "Ashley Kalmanowitz of Atlantic Music Group explains to EW that the connection hasn't gone unnoticed on their end."

Commented Kalmanowitz in an email, "While Cardi's album inspiration comes from her real life drama, she loves Scarlet Envy and they're in talks to work together soon."

Reaction to the title was swift and intense. Reported EW, "Scarlet's fellow 'All Stars; 6 competitor Jan shared the cover art and commented, 'Scarlet Envy i am shaking.'"

"'Drag Race' Season 15 finalist Luxx Noir London also posted the artwork to her X profile, joking, 'Scarlet Envy should sue,'" EW went on to note.

Gay Twitter weighed in, with one commentator offering an ironic take on the cover art.

Others had their own thoughts.

While Gay Twitter buzzes about the cover and title reveal, the album itself is doing brisk business, with chart data reporting that it has already racked up 1.5 million presales even though it doesn't drop until Sept. 19.
