Megan Thee Stallion and Cardi B “WAP” re-enters charts after “Am I the Drama?” album reveal fans are streaming again and the buzz is back.
Welcome to BWFMedia TV – the leading platform for hip-hop, rap news, and viral content streaming.
Looks like WAP season is back, and no, you’re not imagining it.
Right after Cardi B revealed the title and release date of her long-awaited second album, “Am I the Drama?”, her explosive 2020 hit with Megan Thee Stallion, “WAP,” re-entered the iTunes charts, and it’s climbing fast. Yes, three years later, that NSFW banger is heating up playlists all over again, and it’s all thanks to the album buzz.
Remember that on June 25, 2025, Cardi B officially announced that “Am I the Drama?” is dropping on September 19, 2025. That alone had fans screaming but what really turned heads was when she confirmed that “WAP” and her 2021 hit “Up” would both be included on the 23-track album.
Immediately after the announcement, “WAP” shot back into the Top 10 on the U.S. iTunes chart, making it clear the song still has that grip on listeners. The track originally debuted in August 2020 and hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, where it stayed for four weeks. It also went viral (and controversial) for its unapologetically explicit lyrics and unforgettable visuals.
But now, it’s backnot because of a new remix or a feature, but because of Cardi B’s “Am I the Drama?” announcement. It suddenly lit a fire under fans all over again.
So Why Add “WAP” to the Album Now?
Cardi knew the move would raise eyebrows. Including a three-year-old single on a brand-new album? That’s not exactly typical.
But in a recent post, Cardi explained her decision clearly:
“WAP and Up are two of my biggest songs. My fans asked me to include them, and I’m doing this for them. Not everything is about numbers.”
Fans have been asking her for years to drop an album that included “WAP,” and now, she’s finally giving it to them. For longtime listeners, it’s a moment of full-circle validation.
Streaming Numbers Don’t Lie
The numbers reflect just how strong that nostalgia is. Within hours of the “Am I the Drama?” announcement, “WAP” spiked in downloads and Apple Music streams. On TikTok, users began posting dance clips and throwbacks. On Twitter (or X), phrases like “WAP is back” and “Cardi and Megan run it again” trended throughout the night.
So yes, Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion’s “WAP” re-entered charts after “Am I the Drama?” announcement, and it’s not just a coincidence. It’s fan-powered, hype-driven, and all the proof we need that a true hit never dies.
Naturally, the reactions are wild, this is WAP we’re talking about. One user tweeted,
“Cardi B dropping the album title and WAP charting again on the same day? We’re in the middle of a cultural reset.”
Another posted,
“WAP being on Am I the Drama? is like when Beyoncé put Single Ladies on I Am… Sasha Fierce. Certified classic energy.
Of course, some people were skeptical. A few fans questioned why older songs were being used to anchor a new project. But Cardi, never one to back down from a little internet smoke, said she wasn’t here for the drama (ironically):
“This album is my baby. It’s been seven years in the making. If you don’t want to hear WAP again, skip it.”
Mic drop.
What Else Is Coming on Am I the Drama?
Besides “WAP” and “Up,” Cardi has already released “Enough (Miami)”, “Like What (Freestyle),” and most recently, “Outside”, which is currently topping Apple Music’s rap charts. The full 23-track album is expected to feature a mix of trap, pop, reggaeton, and hip-hop, plus collaborations with both new artists and surprise names.
She also told Interview Magazine that she’s no longer holding back creatively:
“I just want to walk through the door and see what happens in the uncertainty.”
Same, Cardi. Same.
Why This Matters
Let’s be honest, Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion’s “WAP” re-entered charts after “Am I the Drama?” announcement because it’s more than just a song. It’s a cultural moment. It’s loud, bold, and unapologetically fun. And in a world where hits come and go, WAP is proving that it’s got legs or maybe just stilettos.
Whether you’re playing it for the beat, the lyrics, the shock factor, or just because it slaps, “WAP” is officially back in the spotlight. And the way things are going, Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion’s “WAP” re-entering charts after Am I the Drama? announcement might just be the beginning of another wild ride to No. 1.
One thing’s for sure: this album rollout is already iconic.
