Cardi B Sells CDs on NYC Subway in Viral Skit for 'Am I the Drama?'

The stunt extends her street-level rollout, with the album due Sept. 19.

Overview

  • Cardi B filmed herself riding a New York City subway car offering her album for $9.99 and vinyl for $20–$30, with one passenger paying cash that she tucked into her hoodie.
  • The clip ends with a startled reaction to a large rat on the station platform as she repeats, “Oh my God,” before leaving.
  • She captioned the post, “7 more days until I find out if I’m going to lose my home… Buy my album to help me save it,” echoing a tongue-in-cheek tone from earlier street-selling skits.
  • Online response was sharply divided, with supporters calling the rollout inventive and critics labeling the scene embarrassing or desperate.
  • Post-release plans include a six-stop meet-and-greet and signing run in markets such as Long Island, Houston, Atlanta, and Long Beach.
