Cardi B shot to fame in 2015 after appearing on the VH1 reality show Love & Hip Hop: New York.
Having already gained prominence on social media, she went on to release mixtapes and guest on other rappers’ hits before releasing her own debut album.
Robin Murray of Clash awarded, external her second album 7/10, writing: “Turning the focus back to music, Am I The Drama? attempts to pin down the chaos of her life, and – in the most part – succeeds.
“This is a record that feels like an exhalation, a long-awaited memoir that refuses to blot out the truth. [It] doesn’t flinch from the explicit, and embraces discomfort.”
Cardi B, whose real name is Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar, has remained in the headlines in the years since her first album.
Earlier this month, she was cleared of assault by a Los Angeles jury after a security guard sued her for $24m (£18m).
Emani Ellis had alleged that the US rapper cut her cheek with a 3in (7.5cm) fingernail and spat on her outside an obstetrician’s office in 2018.
Cardi B has had three babies since the release of her debut album and has just announced she is pregnant with her fourth.
