New Song: Cardi B – ‘Principal’ (featuring Janet Jackson)

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.
