Despite critics doubting whether Cardi B can balance her career and motherhood, she defied all expectations — baby bump in tow— with an electrifying performance at the Global Citizen Festival. The annual festival was held at Central Park’s Great Lawn in New York City on Saturday, Sept. 27. The rapper had been tapped as a co-headliner alongside Shakira. Cardi B was more than comfortable on the stage; she completely took it over. The crowd roared as she performed some of her biggest hits like “Bodak Yellow” and “I Like It.”
The rapper also bumped some new tracks from her latest album, Am I The Drama? like “Outside and” “ErrTime.” The project was released on Sept.19, following an almost decade-long hiatus. Am I The Drama? serves as a follow-up to her 2018 debut project, Invasion of Privacy. On its first day of release, the album was certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).

Cardi B’s Little Miss Drama Tour set to kick off in February 2026
“Central Park, I’m coming for you!!! I can’t wait to be home in New York, and to bring my new songs and all the DRAMA to the Global Citizen Festival,” said Cardi B in a statement before the show. “This one’s not like other music festivals – this one is about coming together to help children around the world, and I’m so proud to support such an important cause. New York City – see you Saturday. Let’s get it!!!” In conjunction with her new album, Cardi B is also set to headline her first tour.
The rapper will trek through 34 cities, with stops in major cities such as Atlanta, Boston, Washington D.C., Toronto, and her hometown of New York. The Little Miss Drama tour is set to kick off in February 2026. Cardi recently sat down with Gayle King on CBS Mornings, saying she felt “excited” and “happy” to balance work and her ever-growing family. “I feel like I’m in a good space…I feel very strong…I feel very powerful that I’m doing all this work. But I’m doing all this work while I’m creating a baby, me and my man, we’re very supportive of each other,” she said.
