Cardi B is in full album rollout mode.

Ahead of her highly anticipated follow-up to her debut Invasion of Privacy, the Bronx superstar sat down with TODAY With Jenna & Friends to promote Am I the Drama?, set to drop Friday (Sept. 19).

She was asked about her relationship with New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs. “You got a new man, right? Are the sparks sparking?” Jenna asked, with Cardi replying that the sparks are, “Sparklin’, honey. Fourth of July,” before revealing that the two became acquainted through mutual friends. Cardi also said that she plans on supporting Diggs by attending games when she’s finished with her album duties. “I be at the screen every Sunday, every day, cursing people out. Pass the ball!” she said. “But after this whole album thing, I’m going to every single game. Every single one of them.”

Cardi — who is in the midst of a very public divorce from Offset — was then asked how being a single mom affects her dating life and said that her devotion to her three children is no secret. “Everybody knows how devoted I am as a mother,” she answered. “So, they just know that it’s like, this is what I come with. I come with a luggage, a baggage, a book bag, a purse! I come with everything.”

When she was asked if she would ever consider getting married again, the “WAP” rapper didn’t hesitate in her reply. “Yeah, I would get married again,” Cardi said. “I believe in love. I’m like a hopeless romantic.”

She also stuck around to help interview Matthew McConaughey about his new poetry book, Poems & Prayers, and said, “I need that book, I need a good prayer!” 

McConaughey said he met Cardi six years ago at Guy Oseary and Madonna’s Oscar party. “I remember that party I felt like, ‘Ahh, so famous!’” she said. They talked about him being referenced in “Wanna Be,” after Megan Thee Stallion was talking about “fine white men.”

He then asked about the “My toes white like Matthew McConaughey” line and she said she mispronounced his last name in order for the rhyme to work. “Megan Thee Stallion, she made a reference about like you know, ‘fine white mens,’ and I was like, ‘Ooh, fine white men! White toes! Matthew McConaughey.’ But I said your last name wrong because I had to rhyme it… He a poet, he knows about it. We gotta fit it.”

Cardi’s sophomore album drops Friday and the Billboard cover star recently announced the 30-date Little Miss Drama Tour that’s set to kick off on Feb. 11.

On Tuesday (Sept. 16), Billboard and Samsung TV Plus announced the launch of BillboardTV — a 24/7 streaming destination for music culture and news.

First up on our list of picks, we’ve got Barney and Friends-inspired Starbright sweats and hoodie. Both pieces are a purple-ish pink, like the friendly dino, and feature nostalgic motifs throughout. On the hoodie, you’ve got a graphic affixed to the front depicting Barney, along with the words “Selena × Barney.” The sweats are littered with star graphics in blue, yellow and green along with that same Selena x Barney graphic. On the side of the pant leg, the phrase “friends forever” can be seen in blue lettering, boxed in with two pink hearts. Both pieces are roomy, equipped with an oversized fit.

The Barney and Friends section of the collection also includes a I Love You Tees and Rainbow Tank Top not pictured here. For those that didn’t know, Gomez was on the beloved children’s show from 2002 to 2004 when she was just 10 years old. If you’re hoping to catch a glimpse, she appears in season seven and eight as a recurring character named Gianna. It was Gomez’s first major acting role, and one that helped her make her way to Disney Channel.

Next up, we’ve picked the “Good Girls Gone Bad” Tee and ‘Spring Breakers’ Hoodie in reference to Gomez’s role as Faith in the 2012 crime thriller film Spring Breakers. Directed by Harmony Korine, the film is a cult-classic in many ways for its iconic lines and even more iconic neon fashions. All the pieces in this section of the merch drop make reference to those neon fashions with pops of bright pink, green, purple and blue, giving each piece an eye-catching feel.

One of our favorites is the hoodie, an oversized black item with the words “Selena Gomez Spring Breakers” on the front and an impactful image of Gomez on the back with even more Spring Breakers logo detailing. Set on a black background, these neons really pop. The same impactful design is seen in the “Good Girls Gone Bad” Tee, what with the neon kiss print and halo effect on a black background accompanied by a still of Gomez from the film. Both the front and back feature the phrase “Good Girls Gone Bad.” The tee, along with the hoodie, are statment pieces for sure. They’d make great additions to any wardrobe, especially if you’re looking to spruce up your basics.

Finally, we’ve chosen the “Always Trouble” Ringer Tee in reference to Gomez’s stint on Disney Channel’s Wizards of Waverly Place. The tee is white with black trim around the collar and on the sleeves. A magical graphic is affixed to the front in shades of purple, pink and blue along with the words “Always Trouble.” Gomez’s run on the 2007 sitcom is a major one, living rent-free in the minds of Gen Z at any given point in time. The show ran for four seasons and saw 15 year old Gomez take center stage as Alex Russo. The show concluded in 2012 when Gomez was 20. It’s safe to say that the show was a big moment in the singer’s life and one her fans will never forget.
