Offset’s Rolling Stone Cover Sparks Fan Backlash as Cardi B Shuts Down Album Critics and Trolls.

It’s never quiet in the world of Cardi B and Offset, but lately, the drama has reached a fever pitch.

After Offset appeared on a Rolling Stone cover alongside Cardi B, fans and critics alike have been quick to weigh in—not just on their relationship, but on Cardi’s long-awaited sophomore album, her mental health, and the relentless scrutiny she faces from the public and the media.

Offset’s Rolling Stone Cover: Fans Aren’t Buying It

Offset’s recent Rolling Stone cover with Cardi B was supposed to be a celebration of their shared stardom, but instead, it drew skepticism from fans.

In comment sections across social media, people accused Offset of acting “more hurt than her,” calling him “petty” and “mad hurt” even though, as many pointed out, he was the one who repeatedly cheated during their relationship.

Some felt his public displays were a desperate attempt to seem unbothered, while others thought he should have just signed an autograph and moved on.

The consensus? Offset’s actions were seen as performative, and many fans sympathized with Cardi B, noting that she had given him chance after chance to make things right.

Cardi B’s Sophomore Album: Seven Years in the Making

Meanwhile, anticipation for Cardi B’s sophomore album, *Mother Drama*, is at an all-time high. It’s been seven years since her groundbreaking debut, *Invasion of Privacy*, and fans are hungry for new music.

But even before the album’s release, opinions are flying—especially about the inclusion of older tracks like “Up” and “WAP.”

As the chatter grew, Cardi B took to social media to address the critics, trolls, and even the side chicks who have tried to drag her name. Her message was clear: “You could never be on my level.”

Clapping Back at Critics and Podcasters

Cardi didn’t hold back when responding to negative commentary, especially from podcasters and so-called industry insiders. She expressed her frustration with people who don’t know her or her process but still feel entitled to spread misinformation.

“It’s one thing when fans say something, but it’s crazy when people with platforms say insane stuff about you,” Cardi vented.

“It makes me so angry I want to punch a wall… If you hate me so much and I never did anything to you, why lie about me? Why say my label is cheating to get me to number one on Apple?”

Cardi pointed out that she’s not the only artist on her label, Atlantic Records, and that others have released music that didn’t hit number one. Her success, she insisted, comes from a real, loyal fanbase—not industry tricks.

The Pressure of Success and Mental Health Struggles

Cardi B opened up about the immense pressure that comes with being in the spotlight. She revealed that she struggled with depression last year as her marriage was falling apart and she was pregnant.

“When a relationship is dying, you get really depressed. You don’t want to get out of bed,” she admitted.

These struggles delayed her album, but now, she says, “I’m overly ready. I’m anxious for September to come.”

Cardi made it clear that while her label encouraged her to drop certain singles, the album itself is a project she’s poured her heart into over seven years.

Addressing Rushed Album Rumors

Some critics have accused Cardi of rushing her album, especially after releasing her single “Outside.”

Cardi dismissed these claims, explaining that she’s been working on the album for years and has had everything—from the cover art to the music videos—ready for a long time.

“My label isn’t forcing me to drop this album. I need to drop it. I’ve been ready. I just signed a tour deal with Live Nation, and that’s actually stressing me out more than releasing the album!”

Defending Her Success

Cardi B is no stranger to accusations of industry favoritism or gimmicks. She challenged critics to look at her numbers on Spotify, Shazam, and Apple Music, noting that her songs perform well across platforms without heavy playlisting or label manipulation.

“Every time I fail, people are quick to say my career is over. But when I succeed, they say it’s a gimmick. Why can’t you just give me my credit?”

Setting Boundaries with Fans

While Cardi loves her fans, she asked them to stop telling her what to do regarding features and singles.

“I already have my plan. Let me enjoy putting this out. Every time I drop a single, I can’t even enjoy myself because I’m worried about what everyone thinks.”

She admitted that the constant pressure has given her anxiety, so she’s learned to step back from social media and protect her mental health. “I have big things coming. I just hope it’s successful.”

The Meaning Behind “Am I the Drama?”

Cardi explained that the title of her new album, *Am I the Drama?*, is deeply personal. “It’s obvious—I’m always the topic.

Whether I’m asleep or awake, it’s drama. I was voted most dramatic in high school! Seven years later, I’m still relevant for a reason.”

She revealed that the album’s cover and title changed dramatically as her life shifted over the past year.

“Something died in me, but I was reborn. The old me is dead—the humble me, the one who let people bully me. That’s gone. Now, I’m standing up for myself.”

Empowerment and Moving On

Cardi’s message to her critics and to other women is one of empowerment and resilience. “We’re not the same. I’m in a different tax bracket. The old Cardi who minimized herself to keep others comfortable is gone. If you want drama, I’ll give you drama.”

She also thanked her female fans for their support during her divorce and personal struggles, acknowledging that women can be each other’s harshest critics but also their strongest allies.

Looking Forward: A Stronger Cardi B

As she prepares to release *Am I the Drama?*, Cardi B is determined to enjoy her success and not let anyone make her feel guilty for it.

“Y’all aren’t going to make me feel bad because people love me. If you hate my success, don’t watch—because I’m just getting started.”

She ended her message with gratitude for her fans and a promise that the best is yet to come. “I have gotten stronger for real. I still have anxiety, but I love y’all to death. Now let me finish this breakfast!”
