Cardi B is gearing up for an exciting year as she prepares for her first headlining arena tour, titled the Little Miss Drama Tour, set to launch in February 2024. The Grammy-winning rapper addressed her fans on social media, urging them to support her amidst growing scrutiny regarding her relationship with NFL player Stefon Diggs.
Cardi B Responds to Criticism
In a candid video shared on X, Cardi expressed her frustration over the backlash she has faced in the past few days. “Y’all need to calm down. Is y’all cool? Y’all been dragging me for three or four days. Y’all become and y’all been a little bit too mean,” she stated. Her remarks came as she reminded fans that she is entering a critical phase of her career and needs their encouragement.
Addressing the public’s concerns about her relationship, she added, “I can’t change it. I can’t go back in time. I already had a baby. Y’all want me to put my baby back in my pussy? I don’t know what y’all want me to do. Y’all want me to leave my man and fuck yours?” Her passionate plea highlighted the challenges she faces as a public figure navigating personal and professional life.
In November 2023, Cardi and Diggs welcomed their first child together, a son. Cardi also has three children from her marriage to fellow rapper Offset, whom she wed in 2017. The couple’s marriage has seen its ups and downs, with Cardi filing for divorce in 2024.
Tour Preparations and Upcoming Album
With the tour on the horizon, Cardi emphasized the demanding schedule ahead. “I have so much work to do once January starts that it’s stressing me out,” she noted. The rapper is set to rehearse for 10 to 12 hours a day in preparation for the tour, which will require her to be away from her family and personal life.
“I’m already super stressed out. I need my support system, my fans, to love me. I want you to come to my tour and enjoy yourself with me. Don’t be dragging me. It’s enough,” she urged, encapsulating the pressure artists face in balancing their careers with family responsibilities.
The Little Miss Drama Tour derives its name from her upcoming sophomore album, Am I the Drama?, which was released in September 2023. This album marks a significant milestone for Cardi, arriving more than seven years after her critically acclaimed debut, Invasion of Privacy, which won a Grammy for Best Rap Album and was recognized in Rolling Stone‘s list of the 200 Greatest Hip-Hop Albums of All Time.
As Cardi B prepares for this new chapter, she continues to navigate the complexities of fame, family, and artistry, underscoring the importance of support from her fans during this transformative time.
