Cardi B Makes History with Sold-Out Shows at Kia Forum
Cardi B has achieved a historic milestone, becoming the first female rapper to sell out two consecutive nights at the Kia Forum in Inglewood, California. The accomplishment was announced by Live Nation on Friday, February 20, 2026, during the opening weekend of her Little Miss Drama Tour.
Record-Breaking Performances
The Kia Forum officially announced that Cardi B sold out both of her shows at the arena. This marks a significant moment in her career and for female representation in the rap genre. Her performances featured a 37-song setlist, elaborate costume changes, and dynamic stage production, including performing suspended above the audience, transforming the venue into a theatrical experience .
Star-Studded Guest Appearances
The opening weekend of the tour also included surprise guest appearances from several prominent artists, including GloRilla, Kehlani, Tyla, and Blueface, adding to the excitement for the sold-out crowds.
On-Stage Response to Controversy
During one of her performances, Cardi B addressed recent online commentary from fellow rapper BIA regarding her former relationship with New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs. Before performing “Pretty & Petty,” Cardi B responded directly to BIA’s comments, stating, “Let me tell you sumthin’, just cause I ain’t fcking with my baby daddy, doesn’t mean you get to talk about my baby daddy b*tch.”
Background of the Dispute
The exchange began after BIA commented on a fan page post featuring a clip of Cardi B performing “Pretty & Petty.” BIA questioned who had more “bms” (presumably referring to baby mamas) than receiving yards, referencing Diggs’ recent performance in Super Bowl LIX and his history with paternity lawsuits. The dispute between Cardi B and BIA has roots in early 2024, stemming from claims that Cardi B’s “Like What (Freestyle)” borrowed elements from BIA’s earlier track, “I’m That (Btch),” both of which sampled Missy Elliott’s “She’s a B*tch.”
Tour Continues
Cardi B celebrated her tour success on social media, noting five consecutive sold-out shows. She is scheduled to continue the Little Miss Drama Tour with a performance in Vancouver.
