The 32-year-old rapper finally gave fans the announcement they'd been waiting for on Monday.

The new album will be called Am I the Drama? and is set to drop on September 19.

Am I the Drama?'s complete tracklist hasn't been revealed, but previous singles Outside, Up, and her 2020 duet with Megan Thee Stallion, WAP, will be included among the 23 songs.

The Grammy winner teased Monday's announcement with a cryptic clip that saw her pose with crows as she said in a voiceover, "Seven years I gave them grace, but now, I give them hell."

"I'm shedding feathers and no more tears," Cardi added. "I'm not back, I'm beyond. I'm not your villain, I'm your tyrant. The time is here. The time is now."

The record follows Cardi's 2018 debut, Invasion of Privacy, which made history when it was awarded the Grammy for Best Rap Album – the first time a solo female artist had won the prize.
