Less than a month after wrapping up her Little Miss Drama Tour, Cardi B is itching to hit the road again later this year.
The Grammy-winning rapper hosted a Spaces session on X on Wednesday (May 20), during she admitted she’s looking to spin the block for a second North American leg this fall, but don’t expect a European run just yet.
“A lot of people been asking about another leg for a tour. I do want to go on tour real soon. I will ideally like to go on tour, I’ll say about September, October so I could be off November and December and January,” she said. “However, motherf–kers gotta come correct. I feel like I showed them how much money I could make and could gross.”
Cardi said she’ll make a decision on another trek in the coming weeks. “I’m just weighing my options. When you sell tickets, you got options,” she added. “You actually have people fighting for you. So that’s what I’m really waiting on. Like, what choice am I going to make? I’ll probably make my decision in two weeks or so.”
The Bronx native also addressed any doubts about the tour banking more than $70 million. Billboard Boxscore reported in April that the 35-date North American stadium run grossed more than $70 million and sold 453,000 tickets.
“My tour didn’t supposedly gross $70 million. It actually did gross $70 million. Ya’ll hear gross $70 million, y’all not really making maths,” she said, addressing the detractors. Cardi explained that she did a deal with Live Nation that advanced her $20 million and she had to pay a percentage out to her agency and management.
Cardi ended up taking a large chunk of her own money to finance the rest of the tour, which ended up costing her $35 million in total, she said in her Spaces. The 33-year-old detailed how she had to pour more money into the tour due to repairs, flying various crews in and incurring $50,000 curfew late fees.
“Not only do I take care of my four kids, I take care of my whole family. And when I’m talking about whole family, I’m not talking about just mom and dad. I got a big a– f–king family,” she continued.
Cardi B hit the road for her first headlining tour in February in support of her sophomore album, Am I the Drama?. The LP arrived in September and topped the Billboard 200 with 200,000 total album-equivalent units earned, per Luminate.
