On September 27, 2025, Cardi B took to the stage at the Global Citizen Festival, and she did so with both bold energy and her baby bump. The multi-platinum rapper, several months pregnant with her fourth child, delivered a performance that reminded fans why she commands attention—even when her roles triple.
With DJ SpinKing of Power 105.1 spinning the tracks, Cardi opened the set with selections from her latest album ‘Am I The Drama?’, including standout tracks like ‘Outside’ and ‘ErrTime’. She also reached back to fan favourites—’I Like It’ and ‘Bodak Yellow’—mixing hits old and new to both satisfy long-time listeners and showcase her current creative pulse. Her stage presence was magnetic; she moved with dancers, energised the crowd, and carried a performance that felt fearless, despite being several months into pregnancy.

Cardi’s appearance came on short notice, too. She stepped in for The Weeknd announces 2026 tour dates, who had to withdraw from the festival due to “personal reasons”. The substitution may have been unexpected, but Cardi didn’t simply fill a slot—she owned it.
Looking ahead, this set gives a strong preview of what fans can expect from her upcoming Little Miss Drama Tour, launching February 11 in Palm Desert, California. The tour’s itinerary will include many major US and Canadian cities, ending its US leg in Atlanta in mid-April.
Cardi’s performance at Global Citizen reflected more than just showmanship: It was a celebration of resilience, artistry, and life in motion.
