Cardi B’s ‘Am I the Drama?’ already went Platinum on release day, clearing a million units right away. The quick jump came from loading the album with old hits like “WAP” and “Up,” both multi-Platinum on their own. New tracks like “Outside” and the Kehlani collab “Safe” added to the count. It’s been seven years since her debut, so the curiosity was high. Cardi also had her name in the headlines’ pregnancy news with Stefon Diggs and a court case finally wrapped. All of that kept her in the conversation leading up to release. The math of streaming let her start with a stacked deck. Some see it as smart strategy, while others call it cheating the system, regardless it’s why she hit Platinum before the ink on the rollout dried. Anyways, she also released a video for ‘Safe’, a track off the album featuring Kehlani, check it out below.
