Is Cardi B beefing with South African singer Tyla?

Over the past weekend American rapper Cardi B performed at this year’s TikTok’s “In The Mix” event. While performing at the event on Sunday, 10 December, it appears the rapper may be beefing with South African pop singer Tyla.

CARDI B THROWS SHADE AT TYLA?
Not only did the Brox native give audiences an electrifying performance, but she raised some eyebrows that led many to believe that she might be feuding with South African artist Tyla.

Over the past few months Tyla has not only caught the attention of many but she has made history becoming the first solo South African artist to appear on the Billboard chart since South African Jazz legend Hugh Masekela, more than five decades ago. The young artist made her American television debut performing on the The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon where she performed her hit song Water and has been nominated for a Grammy award, under the Best New Artist category.

Performing her hit song Money, Cardi B tells the audiences that all she ever need in life is money. She then proceeds to note that sometimes she might need “Water”.

“Let me tell ya’ll something, all I ever need is the money, but sometimes I need some f***ing Water!…”.

The rapper then proceeds to say, ‘F***k Water, which some social media users presumed to be a jab at Tyla.

“F***k Water!”
