Cardi B has surprise-released a new song, “Don’t Chart,” for Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album, officially confirming her involvement in Rockstar Games’ upcoming soundtrack. The rapper announced the track just before midnight, with the release arriving after days of speculation sparked by cryptic social media activity and a brief leak of the soundtrack’s unrevealed artists.
The surprise drop follows Cardi B’s October 7 post featuring the exact gray “BADDIE” shirt worn by Lucia in GTA VI’s Extended Gameplay trailer. Accompanied only by a sunglasses emoji, the image immediately fueled theories that the rapper was connected to the game’s music rollout. With “Don’t Chart” now released, the post appears to have been an early clue to her participation.
