Hip-hop fans have a new reason to celebrate Cardi B, and Young Thug is making sure she gets her moment. The Atlanta rapper’s fourth studio album, UY Scuti, was originally slated for Sept. 19, but the release has been postponed to Sept. 26.
The reason? Out of respect for Cardi B’s highly anticipated sophomore project, Am I The Drama?, which drops today.
On Twitter, Thug made the announcement with a nod to Cardi:
“Y’all know I wasn’t dropping Friday. It’s a ladies day ❤️ do yo s**t @iamcardib.”
Cardi responded warmly, showing support:
“And you better step next week …you got this, you know this!!”
Fans were quick to praise the mutual respect, noting how rare such gestures are in a genre often marked by competition and rivalry.
