RuPaul's Drag Race queen Scarlet Envy's iconic "Am I the drama?" quote might've reached its ultimate peak as fans and fellow RuGirls reacted to rapper Cardi B naming her second studio album... well... Am I the Drama? Now, a representative for the performer tells Entertainment Weekly the Grammy-winning superstar is quite fond of the Drag Race alum.

When reached for comment after online chatter noted that Cardi's album title might be a reference to Scarlet's heavily meme'd All Stars 6 quote, Ashley Kalmanowitz of Atlantic Music Group explains to EW that the connection hasn't gone unnoticed on their end.

"While Cardi's album inspiration comes from her real life drama, she loves Scarlet Envy and they're in talks to work together soon," Kalmanowitz notes via email.

EW has reached out to Scarlet for additional comment.

After Cardi announced her album title Monday, Scarlet's fellow All Stars 6 competitor Jan shared the cover art and commented, "Scarlet Envy i am shaking."

Drag Race Season 15 finalist Luxx Noir London also posted the artwork to her Twitter profile, joking, "Scarlet Envy should sue."

Scarlet, who initially competed on season 11 of RuPaul's Drag Race in 2019, first uttered her legendary question in a pre-season promotional interview for All Stars 6 in 2021, with the quote instantly garnering fan adoration and sustaining through the years as a recurring meme.

After All Stars 6, Scarlet returned to compete on a third season, UK vs. the World season 2, in early 2024.

"I'll always respect this choice. It's a Rumocracy. This is the way it goes. I'm not here to blame anyone other than myself for shortcomings that might've put me here," Scarlet previously told EW of the judges' shocking decision to place her in the bottom after a seemingly well-received performance on All Stars 6. "But, I'm a Pisces. I already said I'm emotional and sensitive and messy, so I'm also going to be true to myself here. It's hard. I can respect someone's choice and still have my emotions about it."

Cardi B's upcoming album marks her first solo LP since 2018's Grammy-winning Invasion of Privacy, which produced major singles like "Bodak Yellow" and "I Like It."

Since then, Cardi has released an additional string of No. 1 hits, including "Up" and the Megan Thee Stallion collaboration "WAP."

Am I the Drama? is out Sept. 19.
