Cardi B kicked off her new tour with more than just high-energy performances. The rapper also delivered an emotional message to fans during the opening night of her Little Miss Drama Tour, showing a softer side as she reflected on her mental health.
The 33-year-old launched the tour on Wednesday, February 11, in California. While the crowd expected a night of hits and hype, Cardi took a moment on stage to speak directly to her supporters and admit she was feeling overwhelmed.
“I do not want to get emotional.” The brief pause quickly turned into a heartfelt speech as she encouraged fans to protect their peace and not let other people ruin their joy.

“I just want to tell you, don’t let nobody take your happiness away from you,” the Up singer advised her fans. After the emotional moment, Cardi returned to the show and continued performing, including her track Girls Like You, which she performed alongside Maroon.
Her message to fans comes at a time when her personal life has been drawing attention online. In recent days, Cardi has been at the center of rumors suggesting trouble in her relationship with boyfriend Stefon Diggs. Speculation started after fans noticed on February 9 that the two had unfollowed each other on social media following Diggs’ Super Bowl loss.
The unfollow sparked immediate chatter, with many assuming the couple may have split or were at least going through a rough patch. The rumors only grew louder after an awkward moment caught the attention of the day before the Super Bowl.
Cardi was approached by ESPN and asked if she wanted to send a message to Diggs ahead of the game. Her response was brief and noticeably blunt. “Good luck,” She then walked away, leaving fans to interpret the moment as a sign that something might be off between them.
Cardi and Diggs reportedly made their relationship public in May 2025. Later that year, in November, Cardi welcomed a baby boy. The relationship has remained heavily followed online since then, with fans tracking every appearance, post, and interaction between the two.
Despite the swirling gossip, Cardi has been focused on her career and made it clear months ago that she was ready to go all-in with her tour. She first announced the Little Miss Drama Tour in September and posted an intense message about how badly she wanted to succeed.
She said in the Instagram post, “On February 11, it will be the first day of my tour. Little Miss Drama. And let me tell y’all something. I want to let y’all know what headspace I’m in. I want this s*** real f***** bad. I want this s*** like I’m on the third floor in the Bronx and I need to get the f*** on out. That’s how bad I want it.”
Now that the tour is officially underway, Cardi appears determined to deliver, even as her personal life continues to fuel speculation. Still, her message on stage made one thing clear: she’s trying to stay grounded, protect her happiness, and encourage her fans to do the same.
