Cardi B, the undisputed queen of unfiltered rap and larger-than-life energy, is gearing up for her most ambitious venture yet: the “Little Miss Drama Tour.” Announced just yesterday on September 16, 2025, during a surprise appearance on NBC’s TODAY with Jenna & Friends, this 31-date North American arena run marks the rapper’s first headlining arena tour and her first full tour in six years. Timed perfectly with the release of her long-awaited second studio album, Am I the Drama?, dropping this Friday, September 19, the tour promises to be a explosive celebration of Cardi’s signature blend of drama, hits, and raw charisma.
The announcement comes at a whirlwind moment for the 32-year-old Bronx native, who’s not only dropping her sophomore album but also revealed she’s expecting her fourth child with NFL star boyfriend Stefon Diggs. “We’re all ‘Outside’ for this,” Cardi teased in a social media post, referencing her latest single, while assuring fans the tour—kicking off in early 2026—will happen after she welcomes her newest addition. For the Bardi Gang, this means a chance to see Cardi at her peak, delivering high-energy performances in venues she’s only dreamed of headlining before, like Madison Square Garden and the Kia Forum.
Am I the Drama? is Cardi’s follow-up to her 2018 Grammy-winning debut Invasion of Privacy, which spawned megahits like “Bodak Yellow” and “I Like It.” Seven years in the making, the new project features powerhouse collaborations with Janet Jackson, Megan Thee Stallion, Lizzo, Selena Gomez, Cash Cobain, Kehlani, Summer Walker, and Tyla. Singles like “Outside” have already set the internet ablaze with their bold lyrics and infectious beats, teasing themes of love, betrayal, and unapologetic self-expression—hallmarks of Cardi’s artistry.
In a recent interview, Cardi opened up about the personal hurdles that delayed the album, including motherhood and high-profile feuds. “This album is me asking, ‘Am I the drama?’ And the answer is yes, but it’s my drama, and I’m owning it,” she said. The tour, aptly named “Little Miss Drama,” will bring these tracks to life with elaborate stage production, custom choreography, and Cardi’s trademark interactivity—expect fan meet-and-greets in select cities starting this Friday.
Unlike her previous festival appearances and one-off shows, the Little Miss Drama Tour elevates Cardi to arena status, a testament to her enduring dominance in hip-hop. It’s her biggest production to date, with no openers announced yet, putting the focus squarely on her. “I’m going to give it my all—even if I have two left feet,” Cardi joked during her TODAY reveal, hinting at upgraded dance routines and visuals inspired by the album’s dramatic aesthetic. Fans can anticipate pyrotechnics, costume changes, and medleys of her classics intertwined with new cuts.
The tour’s timing post-album release allows Cardi to build momentum from Am I the Drama?‘s rollout, which includes viral TikTok challenges and surprise pop-ups. With tickets poised to sell out fast, presales kick off today for Citi cardmembers and Verizon customers, followed by an artist presale on September 23 and general on-sale September 25 at 10 a.m. local time via cardib.com/tour. Prices start around $100 for upper levels, with VIP packages offering premium seating and exclusive merch.
