Background

On June 22, 2025, Cardi B announced that her second studio album, Am I the Drama?, would be released on September 19.[1] As part of her pre-release rollout, she co-hosted the September 16 episode of Today with Jenna & Friends, in which she revealed that she would go on tour across 30 cities in the US and Canada in promotion of the album.[2][3]

Commercial performance

Ticket sales

In February 2026, Cardi B became the first female rapper in history to sell out two consecutive nights at the Kia Forum in Inglewood, California.[4] The performances served as the opening weekend for her Little Miss Drama Tour, featuring a 37-song setlist and elaborate stage production that included the artist being suspended above the audience.[4] The concerts featured several guest appearances, including performances by GloRilla, Kehlani, Tyla, and Blueface.[4] During the first show, she performed the song "Pretty & Petty," which was widely interpreted by media outlets as a diss track directed at rapper Bia.[4] Following the Los Angeles shows, Cardi B continued the tour with a streak of thirty five consecutive sold-out performances across North America. It became the highest-grossing tour by a female rapper in California, earning $9.4 million from 59,300 tickets sold across five shows in the state. It is the first tour by a female rapper in history to gross over $5 million at a single venue, with $5.325 million across two shows at Madison Square Garden in New York on March 25–26, 2026.[5] The tour sold 453,000 tickets and grossed $70 million across 35 dates in 32 cities, becoming the highest-grossing debut arena tour by a female rapper.[6][7]

Critical reception

The Little Miss Drama Tour received widespread acclaim from music critics, who lauded the production's ambition, Cardi B's stamina, and the show's theatrical scale. Writing for The Guardian, Paula Mejía awarded the Los Angeles performance four out of five stars, describing it as an "ambitious spectacle" that successfully translated the rapper's "online-era charisma into a physical arena powerhouse."[8] Mejía highlighted the setlist's "vigorous score-settling," specifically noting that the performance of "Pretty & Petty" was delivered with a "brutally witty" energy that solidified the show's title theme.[8]

Tomás Mier of Billboard characterized the opening night as a "tour de force," noting that the 37-track setlist was designed to showcase the breadth of her discography while maintaining a consistent "baddie energy" throughout.[9] Mier praised the pacing of the show, stating that despite the high volume of songs, the production never felt "cluttered," largely due to the "seamless transitions" between various aesthetic "chapters" of the performance.[9]

The tour's visual presentation and wardrobe also became a focal point for international media. News.com.au reported on the "very racy" nature of the stage outfits, describing the fashion as a "high-octane blend of high drama and fearless confidence."[10] The publication highlighted a "bold, sheer dress" and various "cut-out bodysuits" that were designed to emphasize the "unapologetic femininity" that has defined Cardi B's public persona.[10] Furthermore, critics noted that the stage design–which included pyrotechnics and a floating platform–elevated the show beyond a standard rap concert into a "fully-realized theatrical event."[8] While the majority of reviews were positive, some journalists pointed out minor logistical "kinks" during the early dates, though Mejía noted that Cardi B's "improvisational humor" during technical moments only served to further "humanize the superstar."[8]
