Uh-Oh! Cardi B Admits Her Tour Has Gone Millions Over Budget: I Ain’t No D*mn Beyoncé’

The countdown is on until Cardi B’s Little Miss Drama Tour begins on Feb. 11. After starting tour rehearsals in Los Angeles on Tuesday (Jan. 6), Cardi hopped on IG Live early Wednesday (Jan. 7) to give fans an update on a few things, including the tour’s budget.

During an Instagram Live on Tuesday (Jan. 6), Cardi explained, “We redid the budget, so now it’s just, like, I gotta go find the f**king money, or I would have to put [up] some of my own money for things that I want.” She added, “I feel like we keep doing the budget every other week and s**t, so it’s just a lot.”

“On top of that, it’s a lot of dance moves that I gotta do and I’m just ready to go home,” the mother of four said, before noting she’s not exactly enjoying her time in Los Angeles. “I don’t like being in LA no more. I don’t like it.”

The “Little Miss Drama Tour” is slated to begin on Feb. 11 and will take Cardi through various cities across North America, including Houston, Detroit, New York and Chicago. The headlining run will culminate in two back-to-back shows at Atlanta’s State Farm Arena. See the flyer below.

Elsewhere in her Instagram Live, Cardi joked that her tour budget isn’t that of someone like Beyoncé, but she’s still going to give fans a good time. “I ain’t no damn Beyoncé so don’t be expecting none of that s**t,” she hilariously said. “I don't got that [kind of] production money, but b**ch, I’ma give it all I got, and I’m working hard. I’m poppin’ it.”

Cardi didn’t share what her current budget is — and not to pocket-watch her too much — but she did reveal in 2024 that she was offered $65 million to hit the road. A since-deleted screenshot of the proposal included $1.1 million per show and $1.5 million for festival dates.
