Cardi B is known for her bold personality and creative marketing, and her latest album rollout for “AM I THE DRAMA?” is no exception! The Bronx native has been hilariously embracing the narrative of ‘falling off’ by taking her music directly to the streets and subway stations of New York City. It’s a unique, and frankly entertaining, way to connect with fans and taunt her critics.
Selling CDs Underground
In a recent clip that’s making rounds, Cardi B was spotted on a subway train, dressed down in baggy sweatpants and a hoodie, carrying a box filled with CDs and vinyl of her new album. With a playful yet determined demeanor, she pitched her music to fellow commuters, even humorously claiming she used to be a professional ballerina trying to make a better example for her kids. She offered the album for a cool $9.99, and one intrigued rider even made a purchase, much to Cardi’s delight.
She continued her sales pitch, emphasizing the importance of support: ‘Please support a mother of three September 19! AM I THE DRAMA?’ This grassroots approach to album promotion is certainly turning heads and generating buzz for her highly anticipated sophomore release.
A Wild Subway Encounter
However, the subway adventure took an unexpected turn. As Cardi B and her camera crew exited the train and continued their walk through the station, a massive rat suddenly scurried past her. The superstar’s reaction was priceless – a mix of shock and pure panic. ‘Oh my God,’ she exclaimed repeatedly, clearly wanting to escape the situation immediately.
She later captioned the viral 40-second clip on social media with a touch of her signature humor and drama: ‘7 more days until I find out if I’m going to lose my home…😩 Buy my album to help me save it.’ This playful exaggeration perfectly captures the spirit of her current promotional campaign.
More Creative Promotions
This isn’t the first time Cardi B has gone the extra mile for “AM I THE DRAMA?” Last week, she took to the streets of Manhattan, sporting a Rastacap, waving incense, and blasting Bob Marley tunes. She explained that her label encouraged her to ‘get out in these streets and sell this album,’ and she’s certainly running with it.
