Watch Cardi B Begin Little Miss Drama Tour Rehearsals: ‘I’m Finding the Pocket’

Cardi B is gearing up for her first headlining arena trek, with just over a month until her Little Miss Drama Tour kicks off in Palm Desert, California, on Feb. 11.

As the calendar turns to 2026, Cardi started tour rehearsals on Tuesday (Jan. 6), and she posted a clip on her Instagram Story working on some choreography with a couple of back-up dancers in the studio.

The Bronx rapper appeared to be happy with the results from day one. “I ain’t do so bad first day of rehearsal….I’m finding the pocket,” she wrote.

Cardi knows the pressure’s on to deliver in her first time on the road. Last month, she got emotional posting to social media after seeing fans gift tickets to her tour for Christmas to friends and family.

“These videos of people receiving my concert tickets for Christmas gifts, they making me so happy, but then again, I’m thinking like, ‘God damn, I gotta really work hard,” she said. ” People are receiving me for Christmas. I gotta give it all I got. Don’t worry, y’all. I’m finna go to work.”

The North American trek is scheduled for 36 dates, including stops in Las Vegas, Miami, Boston, Chicago, Denver, Baltimore, Philly, NYC, Charlotte, Toronto and will wrap up with a pair of shows in Atlanta.

“I know I’m a good performer,” Cardi told Billboard as part of her 2025 cover story. “Well, am I? No, I’m great. I’m actually really great because I was a stripper. But no, I think my personal tour is not going to be like any other performances that I’ve ever had. From the aesthetics to the look to even the way I perform, I’m going to be doing things that I don’t normally do, like work out, because I want to be the best.

She continued: “I’ve been going to so many different tours. I went to the Madonna show and the Beyoncé show. I can’t perform like Beyoncé, but you can’t half-a— nothing. I always say this: I have two left feet, but I’m going to have to get a fake leg. A right one because I’m going to give it my all. This is going to be one of the greatest tours. I’m going to make it the best.”

The Little Miss Drama Tour comes in support of Cardi’s sophomore album, Am I the Drama?, which topped the Billboard 200 in September with 200,000 equivalent album units earned in the first week.
