In a memorable moment at the second night of her sold-out Los Angeles stop, Cardi B brought South African sensation Tyla on stage during her Little Miss Drama Tour, and the crowd erupted. The two artists performed their collaboration “Nice Guy” a track from Cardi’s second studio album Am I the Drama? live for the first time, showcasing the blend of Tyla’s silky vocals with Cardi’s bold rap style in front of an enthusiastic audience at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles. Tyla also performed her hit single "Chanel", she looked absolutely stunning in classic Roberto Cavalli.

The Little Miss Drama Tour, which kicked off on February 11, 2026, in Palm Desert, California, is Cardi B’s first headlining tour in several years and spans more than 30 shows across North America in support of her latest album. Tyla’s surprise appearance was one of the night’s highlights, and fans immediately took to social media to share clips, tagging the duet as one of the evening’s standout moments.

In 2025, Cardi B has also publicly defended Tyla from online criticism, particularly the backlash the South African star has faced over cultural misunderstandings and identity debates on social media platforms. During a livestream, Cardi pushed back against trolls, saying the heavy scrutiny of Tyla was “straight up disrespectful” and emblematic of how the internet unfairly targets artists who are simply focused on their craft.
For Tyla, who has been steadily rising from her breakout hit “Water” to global stages, the moment with Cardi B isn’t just a performance, it’s a statement of respect and solidarity between two artists making major waves. Fans are now eagerly watching to see if Tyla might make additional surprise appearances as the tour continues.
