Cardi B Claps Back at Rumors, Proves Critics Wrong with Sold-Out Tour

Cardi B is directly shutting down speculation that she would “not continue” her Little Miss Drama Tour after welcoming her fourth child. Far from slowing down, the rapper has responded with a string of impressive achievements that underscore her commitment and stamina.
Since February 11, Cardi B has completed 12 shows as part of the tour—just around three months after giving birth to her fourth son with NFL star Stefon Diggs of the New England Patriots. Her swift return to the stage sparked doubts about whether she could maintain the physical endurance and focus required for a major tour so soon after childbirth.

Addressing the criticism head-on, Cardi B took to X on February 23 to respond. “The truth is, every single one of my shows so far has been sold out. Packed from top to bottom,” she wrote, alongside a video capturing the electric atmosphere at a recent performance. “They said I wouldn’t be able to continue my music career after having kids. They said I wouldn’t take it seriously—but I do.”
Beyond emphasizing the sold-out crowds, the rapper stressed her professionalism and passion. “I perform for two straight hours without complaining,” she said. “I don’t see my shows as just concerts—they’re parties where I fully enjoy the moment with my fans.” According to Cardi B, that all-in energy has translated into enthusiastic responses from both audiences and fellow artists.
Her momentum was further cemented by a major milestone. According to Live Nation, Cardi B became the first female rapper to sell out two consecutive nights at Kia Forum in Los Angeles—a landmark venue in California typically reserved for the industry’s biggest box-office draws.

The Little Miss Drama Tour will continue across major U.S. cities including San Francisco, Phoenix, Houston, Dallas, Chicago, New York, Boston, and Philadelphia, before wrapping up on April 18 in Atlanta. Along the way, Cardi B has surprised fans with special guest appearances from GloRilla, Kehlani, Tyla, and Blueface.
Following the Los Angeles shows, Cardi B shared heartfelt messages on Instagram Stories, praising Kehlani as “a beautiful soul, a gifted artist, and an incredible performer,” and applauding Tyla for her standout stage presence and vibrant energy.
The tour supports Cardi B’s album Am I the Drama?, released in September 2025, which marked a high-profile return and debuted strongly on major charts, reinforcing her status in contemporary rap.
Completing 12 shows just months after giving birth serves not only as a forceful rebuttal to skeptics, but also as a testament to Cardi B’s resilience and work ethic. Amid public scrutiny and personal change, she has chosen the stage—where she thrives—proving once again that motherhood does not mean slowing down. At 33, Cardi B is showing that for her, becoming a mother has only fueled an even more powerful comeback.
