Cardi B is going viral after a bold onstage moment from the opening night of her Little Miss Drama Tour started making rounds online. The raptress officially kicked off the first night of her tour on Wednesday, February 11th in Palm Desert, California and had a half-joking message for ICE agents.
While addressing the crowd mid-show, the Bronx rapper hyped fans up with a statement that instantly drew loud reactions inside the venue and across social media once clips surfaced.
"If ICE comes in here, we’re gonna jump they a**es… They ain’t taking my fans, b*tch," Cardi told the audience.
The crowd erupted in cheers following the remark, followed by Cardi performing "I Like It."
Cardi has been vocal about immigration issues before, often speaking about her family’s background and criticizing deportation policies in past interviews and livestreams. Her unfiltered commentary has long been part of her brand, both onstage and off.
Ironically, the official Homeland Security X account actually clapped back to Cardi B's remarks and took the opportunity to remind her of her stripping past. "As long as she doesn’t drug and rob our agents, we’ll consider that an improvement over her past behavior," they wrote.
Their commentary was in reference to Cardi B previously admitting during an interview, that she used to drug and rob men while she was working as a stripper.
Cardi B Makes Bold Statement On Stage
The viral tour moment comes on the heels of Cardi’s surprise appearance during Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl LX Halftime Show performance over the weekend. During an interview with The Associated Press at the Fanatics Super Bowl party, Cardi said she supported Bad Bunny's political messaging.
"I'm actually very, very proud of everything he's been standing up for, against ICE and everything," she expressed. "I feel like everything is aligned and shows how Hispanics, Latinos, whatever you want to call us, you know everybody got different terms… We're all standing motherf***ing strong, okay?"
Cardi’s current arena run is in support of her sophomore album Am I the Drama?. As the tour rolls forward, major city stops including Los Angeles, New York, Las Vegas, and Chicago are still on deck. If opening night proved anything, it is that Cardi’s live show is not just about the music. The unfiltered commentary and unpredictable crowd moments remain just as central to the experience.
