Nicki Minaj Break Social Media Silence With Shocking Reaction After Cardi B’s ‘Am I The Drama?’ Debuts at No. 1 on Billboard 200

Nicki Minaj has weighed in after Cardi B made Billboard 200 history. Following the news that Cardi’s second studio album, Am I The Drama?, debuted at No. 1 with 200,000 equivalent album units, Minaj took to X (formerly Twitter) to remind fans of her own record-setting success.

The rap legend reposted the chart update and emphasized that her 2023 album, Pink Friday 2, still holds the biggest debut for a female rap album of the 2020s—opening with 228,000 units and setting a new standard on Global Spotify for streaming numbers by a woman in hip-hop.

Oh Barbz, I love you so… All I can say is—3.27.26. THISMUSICISJUSTjlsidtdkxkhcldutdljclhclhhckysurskyclyxlhxykxlhxkgxlhdkyhxkyckysiydiydlydykditdlydkyckyflucluxlufulfulf,” she wrote in her characteristically cryptic style, a clear nod to her upcoming sixth studio album, NM6, arriving March 27, 2026.

Cardi’s Am I The Drama? marks her second consecutive No. 1 debut on the Billboard 200, making her the first female rapper in history to see both of her first two albums enter the chart at the top. Her debut album, Invasion of Privacy (2018), also launched at No. 1, setting multiple streaming records.

Still, Minaj made sure fans remembered the bar she set with Pink Friday 2. That project, her first in five years, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and spawned hits like “Super Freaky Girl” and “Red Ruby Da Sleeze.” Beyond sales, it also extended her record as one of the most charted female rappers in Billboard Hot 100 history.

Her latest post comes just hours after confirming NM6’s release date via her Instagram bio. The update, which included the message “3.27.26 = THE NEW INCREDIBLE ALBUM,” marked the start of a new era. Minaj also swapped her profile photo for a nostalgic throwback, hinting at deeply personal themes for the upcoming project.

Cardi B Bares Her Baby Bump in Tiny Denim Shorts and Merch Featuring Her Viral Courtroom Meme

Cardi B is profiting off of her viral appearance in court. The rapper, 32, used her latest outfit to show off her baby bump, promote her new album, Am I the Drama? and give a cheeky nod to the memes that spawned from court attendances in August.

The outfit consisted of a white T-shirt with Cardi’s face inside a heart — a still from her wearing a platinum blonde wig in the courtroom, on the verge of rolling her eyes — and “Am I the drama? If you think I’m here to play with you goddam it I’m not,” in hot pink text beneath her face.

Cardi paired the tongue-in-cheek shirt, which offered a hint of her lower belly, with tiny denim cut-off shorts. She rolled the waistband of the shorts down and accessorized with oversized gold bangles, an edgy camouflage-print trucker hat and pointed knee-high heeled platform boots in a brown snakeskin print.

The shirt, made by Other Her and sold by Revolve, is one of many in the merch collection that refers to Cardi’s court appearances. Another shirt in the collection has simple pink text that reads, “When I’m pregnant, I’m very disabled.”

The phrase refers to the rapper’s Aug. 27 court date, when lawyer Ron A. Rosen Janfaza — who represented Emani Ellis in the assault case, in which she sued the rapper for $24 million after allegedly attacking her following a 2018 obstetrician appointment — asked Cardi if she could have scratched Ellis’ face if she wanted to.

“But I didn’t — but I didn’t because I had a baby inside me,” Cardi told the lawyer. Rosen Janfaza then asked, “Are you disabled, yes or no?” to which the rapper replied, “At that moment, when you’re pregnant, I’m very disabled. You want me to tell you things I can’t do?”

Another shirt in the collection features the phrase “No, I was calling her a bitch” in plain black text, which referred to another moment between Rosen Janfaza and the Grammy winner in court.

The conversation turned to Ellis’ size, when Cardi explained that Ellis — who works as a security guard — is “absolutely” bigger than her.

Rosen Janfaza told the “WAP” rapper, “I don’t agree with that. What is your basis? Are you saying that she’s physically bigger, she’s taller?” Cardi noted that she was 130 pounds “at that time,” and the lawyer later asked if Cardi was calling his client fat. “No, I was calling her a bitch,” she responded.

The shirts in the collection range from $45 to $50, though Cardi’s shirt is nearly sold out online.

Cardi was cleared of assault and later warned those trying to falsely make money off of her. “I work all day and I work hard for my money, for my kids, for the people that I take care of,” she told reporters following the trial, according to BBC. “So don’t you ever think that you’re going to sue me, and I’m just going to settle.”
