South African breakout sensation Tyla has landed a career-defining moment with her official feature on Cardi B’s forthcoming album, Am I The Drama, scheduled for release on Friday, September 19, 2025.

The Grammy-winning rapper unveiled the guest lineup earlier this week, and Tyla’s name stands tall among an impressive roster that includes Janet Jackson, Selena Gomez, Kehlani, Megan Thee Stallion, Cash Cobain, Lizzo, and Summer Walker.
While the project is stacked with global icons, it’s Tyla’s appearance that has sparked the most excitement, particularly after months of swirling rumors.

Talk of a collaboration between the two gained momentum earlier in the year when Cardi and Tyla were spotted together. Speculation deepened when Cardi publicly defended the Push 2 Start hitmaker from online critics, leaving fans convinced the two had been working on music behind the scenes. That anticipation has now been validated, as Tyla officially joins one of the most anticipated releases of 2025.
Cardi B heightened the buzz with a cheeky teaser post on X, writing: “Who else is the drama?” before sharing the tracklist. With two singles, Outside and Imaginary Playerz, already warming up the charts, listeners are eager to hear how the rest of the album unfolds.

For Tyla, this feature arrives at a golden point in her trajectory. Just days ago, she celebrated surpassing 3 billion Spotify streams, while her viral smash Water earned her a place in the platform’s coveted Billions Club. Once dismissed by skeptics as a one-hit act, the 23-year-old has steadily silenced doubts, establishing herself as one of Africa’s most promising exports.
As Cardi prepares to deliver her sophomore project, complete with multiple cover arts, including one inspired by her recent courtroom appearances, Tyla’s inclusion underscores her fast rise from Johannesburg to the global stage. Sharing space on such a high-profile album cements her as part of the new wave of African stars reshaping the international music landscape.
