Cardi B 帶著她標誌性的自信與犀利風格，發布了最新單曲《Imaginary Playerz》，這首歌也是她備受期待的第二張錄音室專輯《Am I the Drama?》中的第二首先行單曲。歌曲巧妙地取樣並致敬了嘻哈傳奇 Jay-Z 在 1997 年的經典作品《Imaginary Players》，並獲得了 Jay-Z 本人的認可。在這首充滿90年代嘻哈氛圍的歌曲中，Cardi B 以她一貫直率且充滿力量的歌詞，對那些虛偽的模仿者和競爭對手進行了毫不留情的抨擊。她細數自己的成就、時尚地位與財富，強調自己早已是潮流的引領者，而其他人只是在追隨她多年前就走過的路。這首歌不僅是對質疑者的有力回擊，更是她鞏固自己嘻哈女王地位的宣言，展現了她身處頂端、無畏任何挑戰的王者姿態。
