Cardi B quietly made history with the announcement of the tracklist for her sophomore album ‘Am I the Drama‘ when she revealed none other than Pop Queen Janet Jackson was among its star-studded list of features.
Despite boasting a tally of high-profile superstars like Selena Gomez, Summer Walker, Lizzo, Megan Thee Stallion, and more, Jackson’s presence came as a historic standout because it made Cardi the first woman to ever land a feature from the music royal over her 40-plus-year career.
Unique but true, their union borrows elements from Janet’s own 1987 smash ‘The Pleasure Principle‘ found on her breakthrough ‘Control‘ album from 1986.
“Ayy, it’s the principle, the principle, ayy / Can’t be out here playin’ with a b-tch like me (Why?) / These n–gas out here prayin’ for a b-tch like me,” Cardi raps over Dizzy Banko production.

Cardi gets it!
Ok queen we ready for u next
Pure 🔥, the entire album. Anything negative are plants from haters
Flop
The entire a
This is NOT a “collab”. There is a clear difference between sampling Janet’s song from 1986 and Janet going into the studio to DROP A NEW TRACK. This was merely a promo stunt to boost up the hype of this new song.
Exactly what I wanted to say.
And it’s soooooo boring and generic WOW
7 years for that. 🤣
This isn’t what I wanted, but let’s see how it plays…
Horrible. She can never be Nicki.
Kudos to Cardi for honoring legends, and I dig her personality, but she’s bringing nothing fresh to hip hop or rap or music. Is it too soon to wish she had pulled a Lauryn Hill and let her debut be her only album? Good luck with the crazy juggling you’re trying to pull off, mama. I hope Nicki’s fans will be kind to a pregnant woman IF the sophomore album jinx hits her.
