In a candid interview for the latest cover story of Allure, Grammy-winning rapper Cardi B shared her thoughts on her current tour, the Little Miss Drama Tour, which is a significant undertaking for the artist as she embarks on a series of 35 live performances. The tour marks her return to the stage after a seven-year hiatus from official tour dates, an absence that has heightened her commitment to creating a memorable experience for her fans.

Cardi reflected on her preparation, revealing that her goal is to offer audiences an unforgettable performance. “I want to give my fans a good moment and have been pulling strings to make this happen, and it’s turning out beautiful,” she explained about the ongoing endeavour which demands significant effort and planning.
In order to prepare for her comeback, Cardi B has diligently researched other high-profile tours, attending performances by music legends such as Madonna and Beyoncé. She described the experience of seeing Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter Tour as “way crazy,” noting the vast difference between what she feels capable of and the levels of artistry displayed by such icons.
However, the stresses of touring are not without their challenges. One notable hurdle for Cardi is the choreography, which she admits she dislikes intensely. “I hate choreography; it’s like math to me,” she admitted. “I don’t have much of a rhythm like that. I could rap all day. But dancing is like, ugh.” Despite this aversion to dance routines, Cardi has proven to be a resilient performer, even when faced with the occasional mishap on stage. Laughingly, she has attributed her recent tumbles during shows to the government, showcasing her ability to maintain a light-hearted perspective in the face of difficulties.
The task of managing a tour becomes even more complex for Cardi as a mother of four young children: Kulture, aged 7; Wave, aged 4; Blossom, aged 1.5; and her newest son, born in November 2025. With Kulture in school, Cardi explained that it can be difficult to juggle her family commitments with her touring schedule. “Kulture’s in school, and her school don’t play that,” she said, expressing the challenges of wanting her children to accompany her while respecting their individual routines. “So I just be like, How the f— am I gonna make this work?”
Despite these challenges, Cardi’s determination to provide for her family and achieve her dreams fuels her motivation. She expressed a heartfelt desire to be remembered fondly by her family and to build a legacy for future generations. “I want to be the grandma that everybody comes to the crib, and it’s like, ‘Yeah, my grandma was that bitch,’” she said, embodying her fierce ambition and dedication to her loved ones.
When discussing her preference for touring over live television appearances, she revealed her tendency to become nervous with cameras focused on her. “When I have a camera on me, I get really nervous. On tour, I feel like I have a safety blanket because it’s my fans,” she noted, which highlights her connection with the audience. Cardi also revealed that she tends to feel shy around other celebrities, irrespective of their stature in the industry.
Expanding her entrepreneurial ventures, Cardi recently unveiled a hair care line called Grow-Good Beauty, signalling an additional facet of her career that goes beyond music. This initiative showcases Cardi’s multifaceted approach to her public persona, offering yet another route for her creativity and influence.
As the Little Miss Drama Tour progresses, Cardi B continues to navigate the trials and triumphs of being a performer, mother, and businesswoman, demonstrating her resilience and dedication to both her craft and her family. As she captivates audiences on stage, her journey captures the essence of balancing artistry and motherhood—a testament to the enduring spirit of a woman thriving in the spotlight.
