Cardi B is capitalizing on her viral memes from her court appearances last week to promote her new album, Am I the Drama, which is set to release on September 19.
The rapper had been in court after a former security guard sued for allegedly assaulting her in 2018 during an interaction at a medical office.
Cardi B took the stand in the case last week, and her unfiltered persona flourished due to her facial expressions and funny quips.

CourtTV livestreamed Cardi B’s courtroom testimony and fans clipped some of the most shocking moments which were quickly reshared by the millions on social media platforms.
“I said b***h get the f**k out my face. Why are you in my face?” Cardi B said during one of the viral clips. “Why are you recording me? Ain’t you supposed to be security?”
Another clip had the plaintiff’s attorney ask the music star if she had called the security guard fat, to which Cardi B said, “No, I was calling her a bitch.”
