Cardi B ‘Little Miss Drama’ Tour Sets New Record
First female rapper to sell out two consecutive nights at the Kia Forum
A Cinematic Stage Experience
Cardi B opened her highly anticipated Little Miss Drama Tour with a commanding series of sold-out performances across Palm Desert, Las Vegas, and Los Angeles, setting the tone for what is shaping up to be one of the year’s most talked-about arena runs.
The GRAMMY Award-winning, multi-diamond superstar launched her first headline arena tour on February 11 at Acrisure Arena in Palm Desert before moving to T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. She then closed opening week with back-to-back sold-out shows at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles, making history as the first female rapper to sell out two consecutive nights at the iconic venue.
The Little Miss Drama Tour delivers a theatrical, high-energy production spanning multiple acts that reflects the emotional and creative themes of Cardi’s latest era. The setlist spans her career, blending new material from her sophomore album ‘Am I The Drama?’ with chart-topping staples that helped define a generation of Hip Hop.
Fans were treated to performances of “Salute,” “Check Please,” “Bodega Baddie,” “Safe,” and “Imaginary Players,” alongside classics such as “I Like It,” “Be Careful,” “Bartier Cardi,” and the diamond-certified “Bodak Yellow.” Crowd favorites “Money,” “Bongos,” and “WAP” kept arena energy at full volume.
The production features six distinct outfit changes and an expansive 37-song set. A runway extending into the crowd leads to a B-stage, where Cardi periodically rises above the audience, creating an immersive arena-wide experience.
Surprise Guests and Cultural Moments
Opening week also delivered notable guest appearances. In Los Angeles, GloRilla joined Cardi for “Tomorrow 2,” while Kehlani appeared for “Safe.” Tyla joined the stage for “Nice Guy” and later performed her hit “CHANEL.” Blueface also made a surprise appearance during “Thotiana,” underscoring the collaborative spirit surrounding the tour’s launch.
The tour arrives on the heels of Cardi’s high-profile Super Bowl weekend appearances, including a performance at the Fanatics event and a moment inside La Casita during Bad Bunny’s halftime festivities, reinforcing her continued presence at the center of pop culture conversation.
Supporting ‘Am I The Drama?’
The arena run supports Cardi’s critically acclaimed sophomore album, ‘Am I The Drama?,’ released September 19 via Atlantic Records. The project has already produced multiple number one records at Urban Mainstream and Rhythmic radio, including the melodic single “ErrTime,” which reached the top spot in late January. The album adds to her growing catalog of chart-topping hits, including “Up” and “WAP.”
Cardi B remains the highest-certified female rapper on the RIAA Top Artists Digital Singles ranking, surpassing 100 million certified units and earning multiple diamond certifications. Her debut album, ‘Invasion of Privacy,’ continues to stand as a landmark achievement, with all 13 tracks certified platinum or higher.
The Road Ahead
The Little Miss Drama Tour continued February 19 in Portland at the Moda Center, with stops scheduled in Vancouver, Seattle, San Francisco, Austin, Denver, Chicago, Toronto, Boston, Washington, DC, and beyond. The run includes hometown headline performances at Madison Square Garden in New York City on March 25 and 26 and concludes with back-to-back nights at State Farm Arena in Atlanta on April 17 and 18.
With opening week momentum and record-setting milestones already secured, Cardi B’s latest tour signals not only commercial dominance but sustained cultural influence.
