Now before the 450,000 ticket count, Cardi’s UTA agent, Mike “G” Guirguis — who leads her touring and live performance strategy — confirmed the big news as the rapper headed into her final two tour stops in Atlanta, meaning the numbers he provided have since been surpassed.
On Saturday (April 18), Cardi closed out her tour, on which she sold out every stop. The tour supported her second studio album, ’Am I The Drama?’. It also saw Bardi in 32 cities with 35 dates, and 35 sold-out shows. She performed two nights in a row in Inglewood (Los Angeles), New York City, and Atlanta.
During the last tour stop, Cardi went out with a bang and brought out Missy Elliott. In New York City, Cardi also brought out Lil’ Kim. The two legendary guests were just a couple of big names to grace the stage with Big Bardi.

In Los Angeles, California, Kehlani, GloRilla, Tyla, and Blueface came out. In Houston, Texas Cardi had a “WAP” reunion with Megan Thee Stallion. Then, in Detroit, Michigan, Kash Doll popped out. In Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Meek Mill came out. In Newark, New Jersey, Fetty Wap popped out. Finally, in Atlanta, Georgia, T.I., Jeezy, and Mariah The Scientist hit the stage. The tour also saw appearances from Cash Cobain, Natalie Nunn, A Boogie wit da Hoodie, Pardison Fontaine (aka Pardi), and many more.
And the celebrities not only came out to perform, but also came out to show support in the large arena audiences. We saw Usher, Latto, Angel Reese, Jermaine Dupri, Da Brat, Saucy Santana, Meagan Good, Jonathan Majors, the Real Housewives of Atlanta stars/alum, and even Tyler Perry — and this was just during the final two tour stops in Atlanta. We also saw Patti LaBelle and Serena Williams pop out for the rapper.
Following her final tour stop, Cardi took to her Instagram, sharing her many thanks to the fans and more. While reflecting on her sold-out 35-stop tour, Cardi jumped in front of the camera and said:
“Hey y’all, it is your girl Cardi B and I have to do this video right now while I’m drunk so I can tell you how I really, really feel and not overthink what I’m talking. So, I just wanna say thank you everybody who came out to the ‘Little Miss Drama Tour’ and was a part of the ‘Little Miss Drama Tour.’
I wanna say thank you for my production team. I wanna say thank you to my glam team. I wanna say thank you to my wardrobe. I wanna say thank you to my choreographers. I wanna say thank you to my dancers. I wanna say thank you to every venue. I wanna say thank you to the catering. I wanna say thank you to the security, to the bus drivers.
I want to say thank you to everybody because this tour went really, really smooth, really, really smooth. And it went really smooth because we all did a great job. And I also want to say thank you for everybody that came out from the celebrities. They just came to see me just to have a good time. And I wanna say thank you to the celebrities that came out to perform with me. If y’all ever need a kidney, I’m gonna find somebody to give it to y’all. I can’t give it to you. You don’t even want my kidney, b*tch. I’ll find somebody to give it to y’all.
And I wanna say thank you to my friends. Thank you to my family for being there for me. Y’all didn’t have to come and everything. Well, I mean, y’all just made it even better like I didn’t feel super lonely on the road. And that’s because my family and friends, they kept coming and supporting me.
But most of all, of course, I want to say thank you to my fans. Thank you to Bardi Gang. Thank you for everybody that just came and made this moment so special for me. A lot of you guys, most of you guys—like, it’s one thing that y’all came out, but some of y’all like, y’all drove for hours. Some of y’all took flights.
Some of y’all put so much effort on y’all outfits that it’s like, ‘Oh, y’all trying to outdo me. Hold on. Like I gotta step it up.’ Because y’all was going so, so, so crazy. Y’all could have came however y’all wanted to, but y’all was dressed to the nine. Y’all was dressed like school girls. Y’all was dressed as drama. Some of y’all was dressed like y’all was going to the Met Gala. Like it was like, ‘All right, okay then.’ And that takes time and that takes effort. And I just want to say thank you.
I want to say thank you to some of the fans that told me their stories. Like, a lot of y’all touched my heart. And a lot of videos of y’all doing reviews, and like y’all just going and having a good time. It just touched my heart. ‘Cause we all go through some sh*t. Sometimes b*tch, I be sad as a motherf**ker and for two hours, for two hours while I’m on that stage, I forget about everything. I forget about everything. I’m the happiest girl in the world.
And then I go home to bed crying, b*tch. B*tch, I go home and I go home to be crying and sh*t and stuff like that. But it’s like, you guys, I’m so glad that like, I’m like, I don’t know, like I mean something to y’all cause y’all mean so much to me. ‘Cause like, I didn’t realize how much I needed this tour. This is like, this was like a rebirth. This is like a renaissance to me.
It’s like, b*tch, I hope I never get used to this feeling because once you start getting used to something like this, it’s just, you don’t appreciate it much. And I want to appreciate this, these moments, these tours that I keep doing like for the rest of my life. Like, I want to feel like, ‘Wow, look at these people. They are here looking for, like, they’re here for me.’
And I just want to say, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you so, so much. I had to tell you this. Like, I had to tell you this. This is why I’m doing it while I’m drunk because I had to tell you this. I’m going to post this on my main thing because I have to tell you that I love you so much. It’s over. It’s over.”
