Cardi B has unleashed Imaginary Playerz, the second single from her long-awaited second studio album Am I The Drama?.
Boasting a sample of Jay-Z’s 1997 classic Imaginary Player, the tune was produced by DJ SwanQo, Sean Island, and OctaneThisThatGas, and is a swagger-soaked anthem that doubles down on Cardi’s signature bravado.
Telling fans about getting the music mogul’s seal of approval, Cardi spilled on X Space this week: “I was so happy because you guys understand, the song is kinda long… This song is like a staple for me and I had to get it approved by the one and only.
“It’s a very hip-hop record and I hope you guys enjoy it.”
It arrives with a cinematic companion video co-directed by Cardi herself alongside longtime creative partner Patience Foster.
Through her joint venture, she’s already sold out multiple limited-edition merch box sets, including a headline-grabbing WWE collaboration. The newly launched Imaginary Playerz box set and alternate album cover art are available now – but only in limited quantities at CardiB.com.
The WWE tie-in isn’t just for show. Cardi made her hosting debut at SummerSlam on August 2, where she previewed new music and sent fans into a frenzy. That same week, she dropped Outside, the first single from Am I The Drama?, which debuted in the Top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 – her 13th Top 10 hit – and soared to #1 on Apple Music, marking her first chart-topper since the multi-platinum Up.
Cardi’s new era kicked off with a bang at the Cannes Spotify Beach Party in June, where she performed Outside live for the first time.
Am I The Drama? is released on September 19.
