Cardi B Sells Out TD Coliseum Weeks After Calling Out Hamilton Fans for Not Buying Tickets
Over two weeks ago, the chart-topping rapper shared that the concert was only “80% sold-out,” and pleaded with fans not to break her streak of selling out shows — and they delivered.

Cardi’s B sold-out show streak has been preserved.
Last night (March 31), the Bronx rapper performed at the newly renovated TD Coliseum — to a sold-out crowd. It comes a couple of weeks after Cardi B posted a video to social media sharing that the gig was the only show on her Little Miss Drama tour that had yet to sell out.
"It's like 80% sold out. And I'm letting you Canadians know: if y'all break my sold out streak, I'm going to…" she joked. "Y'all better go buy them tickets. Y'all not breaking my perfectly sold-out streak. I'm not playing with y'all Banadians."

The rapper’s Hamilton fans heard her loud and clear, promptly selling out the venue.
During the show, Cardi B jokingly discussed the slow ticket sales. “This was the only city that was moving kind of slow with the tickets,” she quipped. “And I like ‘n——s don’t got no money? They don’t got no money in Canada?’”
She continued her speech, thanking the audience for making it to the show despite the massive rainstorm. “Y’all sold this b—h out!” she exclaimed, doing a little cheer, which garnered praise from the crowd.
@much Cardi B is not letting Hamilton forget they were the slowest to sell out the tour 😂
While it took the longest to sell out, concertgoers proved that Hamilton was the right city for the “WAP” rapper to make her final Canadian stop.
“I went to three cities in Canada,” she shared with the crowd. In February, she performed at Vancouver’s Rogers Arena — which received a similar threat before selling out — and later headed to Toronto’s Scotiabank Arena on March 30. “Hamilton is the winner of Canada’s crowds!” she revealed.
In support of her highly anticipated sophomore album, Am I The Drama?, Cardi B’s latest tour has been one of this year’s biggest concerts to come to Canada. The album peaked at No. 5 on the Billboard Canadian Albums chart and was praised for putting her signature rap flow over genre-blending beats.

The feat makes Cardi B the first female artist to sell out and headline the stadium and is the highest-grossing rap concert at the recently upgraded event space. This doesn’t include earlier incarnations of the venue (the long-running Copps Coliseum/FirstOntario Centre), so it's a small sample size, but it marks some big early records for TD Coliseum, which opened its doors in November 2025 after 18 months of renovation by new owner Oak View Group Canada.
The venue kicked off with a concert from rock music legend Paul McCartney and recently hosted the 2026 Juno Awards and has featured shows by some of today’s biggest artists, including Nine Inch Nails, MGK and Jonas Brothers.
Recently, it was also announced that the music-first venue will also be the new home of the AHL hockey franchise currently called the Bridgepoint Islanders, the minor league affiliate of the New York Islanders.
