“Am I The Drama?” is already making waves, but questions have surfaced about who penned the bars.

Cardi B is back in the spotlight with the release of her latest album, “Am I The Drama?”, which landed on September 19. The project has already made noise across streaming platforms, but discussions about the album aren’t only about the music. Some critics have raised questions over the writing credits behind her sharpest rhymes.

The debate picked up after the September 21 episode of The Joe Budden Podcast. During the show, Budden specifically called out “Magnet,” a diss track packed with confrontational bars, and wondered aloud if Cardi was the true author of the verses. His comments quickly made their way online, sparking speculation among listeners.

Cardi was quick to respond. In a now-deleted post on X, she shut down the ghostwriting claims, even sharing a few raw bars to prove her point. “Whoever wrote it?? Nah that’s CARDI,” she wrote, emphasizing her involvement in the creative process and pushing back at those doubting her artistry.

Regardless of the debate, the album has been embraced by fans. “Am I The Drama?” has already gone platinum, powered by Cardi’s confident delivery and memorable hooks. The conversation continues, but her impact on the rap game is undeniable.
