Cardi B officially kicked off her “Little Miss Drama Tour” Wednesday night at Acrisure Arena in Palm Desert, California, delivering a high-energy performance that included salsa dance moves, aerial stunts, and bold political commentary.
Fresh off her appearance in Bad Bunny’s halftime show in La Casita over the weekend, the rapper brought her arena tour to life with a nearly two-hour set packed with hits from Invasion of Privacy and standout tracks from her sophomore album, “Am I the Drama?”
The opening night featured more than a dozen dancers supporting Cardi as she moved through a turbo-charged set. She incorporated chair choreography, performed atop a flying throne, and delivered a salsa number that showcased her versatility as a performer.
During “Bongos,” Cardi stunned the audience in a fiery cut-out bodysuit adorned with swirling orange and gold details, highlighting her commanding stage presence and energy.
At one point, Cardi climbed an elevated platform while performing “La Cucaracha” and addressed the crowd directly, asking if there were any Guatemalans or Mexicans in attendance.
She then issued a warning about ICE, saying, “Bitch, if ICE comes in here, we gon’ jump they asses,” prompting cheers from the audience. Cardi continued the moment with humor, noting, “I’ve got some bear mace in the back! They ain’t taking my fans, b*tch,” before launching into her hit “I Like It.”
The “Little Miss Drama Tour” is set to run for 35 dates, continuing Thursday in Las Vegas and concluding April 18. The tour will make stops in major arenas across the country, including a hometown show at Madison Square Garden in New York City on March 25.
