Cardi B’s viral TikTok clip and marketing tactics for ‘Am I the Drama?’

Cardi B announced the schedule in her signature lighthearted style, bringing laughter to the marketing effort.

Captioned with a tongue-in-cheek remark about her label’s promotional expectations, the clip drew widespread attention online, accumulating over 13.5 million views and more than 2.6 million likes by September 9.

Besides the meet-and-greet tour, Cardi B employs unique marketing tactics to showcase new songs from the album.

Singles already out comprise "Outside" and "Imaginary Playerz," with the latter sampling Jay-Z's 1997 track "Imaginary Player."
