South African singer Tyla joins Cardi B’s star-studded new album Am I The Drama in New York release buzz

It’s one thing to dream of sharing a stage with your idols, but it’s another to see it happen.

South Africa’s very own Tyla has just reached another career-defining moment — she’s officially featured on Cardi B’s brand-new album Am I The Drama?, dropping this Friday, 19 September.

Cardi B Unveils Her Star-Studded Lineup

The Bronx rapper revealed her lineup on social media, sending the internet into a frenzy.

The announcement confirmed weeks of fan speculation and set Twitter (or X) ablaze.

In true Cardi style, she teased her followers with the playful caption: “Who else is the drama?”

Tyla Standing With Legends

What makes this even more exciting is the company Tyla now keeps.

The feature list reads like a music hall of fame — Janet Jackson, Lizzo, Megan Thee Stallion, Selena Gomez, and more.

For South Africans, Tyla’s inclusion feels like a victory for the entire country, putting local sounds on a truly global stage.

A Win for South African Music

Known as the “queen of popiano,” Tyla has been steadily proving that South African talent can compete with the best in the world.

Fans back home are buzzing with pride. One X user summed it up perfectly: “It’s amazing to see South African music represented at this level.”

Cardi B Turns Album Release Into a Spectacle

Of course, this isn’t just about who’s on the tracklist. Cardi B’s rollout for Am I The Drama? has been as loud and creative as the rapper herself.

From subway pop-up shops in New York to high-energy street sales, she’s turned the build-up into a full-blown cultural event.

Why This Album Matters

Beyond the hype, this record is a big deal for Cardi herself.

Am I The Drama? is her long-awaited sophomore album, arriving seven years after her debut Invasion of Privacy shook the industry in 2018.

Packed with 23 tracks — including fan favorites like WAP and Up — the project promises both nostalgia and something fresh.

Cardi’s Growth on Display

Cardi B has spent six years recording and perfecting this album while juggling motherhood and business ventures.

She’s been vocal about how this project reflects her personal growth and artistic evolution.

For fans, that means Am I The Drama? isn’t just another album — it’s a snapshot of who Cardi B has become.

What This Means for Tyla

For Tyla, this collaboration is more than a career boost; it’s a symbol of South Africa’s growing influence in the global music scene.

With her voice and signature sound featured alongside some of the biggest names in music, she’s proving that the world is ready to embrace African creativity on the grandest scale.
