One question ruled last weekend\u2019s cultural conversation: Am I the Drama? <\/p>\n
\tDoubling as the title of Cardi B\u2018s sophomore studio album, which finally arrived on Sept. 19 after a seven-year wait, Am I the Drama? dominated the weekend thanks to jaw-dropping disses (\u201cMagnet\u201d and \u201cPretty & Petty\u201d), new music videos (the Kehlani-assisted \u201cSafe\u201d) and a packed promo run that brought the BX rap queen across the country on a mini meet-and-greet tour. Notably, Drama earned a RIAA Platinum certification on release day thanks to the pre-release consumption of the Hot 100 No. 1 hits \u201cWAP\u201d (with Megan Thee Stallion) and \u201cUp,\u201d which close the 23-track album. Also including the pre-singles \u201cOutside\u201d and \u201cImaginary Playerz,\u201d Cardi\u2019s new set looks poised to make a big debut, following in the footsteps of her Billboard 200-topping debut LP, 2018\u2019s Invasion of Privacy.<\/p>\n
\tOn the R&B side of things, Brandy put a special spin on Kehlani\u2018s buzzy hit \u201cFolded,\u201d which recently became the highest-charting solo song of her career on the Billboard Hot 100 (No. 34, chart dated Sept. 20). Although Brandy\u2019s remix is still MIA on streaming platforms, fans may be able to hear version of \u201cFolded\u201d on The Boy Is Mine Tour, which she\u2019ll co-headline alongside Monica this fall. The 24-city trek will visit major arenas across the U.S. and feature special guests Kelly Rowland, Muni Long, Coco Jones and American Idol season 23 winner Jamal Roberts.<\/p>\n
