Cardi B performed at Acrisure Arena in Palm Desert, California, on February 11, 2026, for the first date of her Little Miss Drama Tour.
During the show she addressed the crowd directly about federal agents. She said, "If ICE come in here, we gone jump they asses." She added, "Bitch, I've got some bear mace in the back. They ain't taking my fans, bitch."
On February 13, 2026, Cardi B performed at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. While singing her 2018 song Thotiana she attempted a move with a chair.
She fell backward off the chair onto the stage. She quickly stood up, pointed at the chair, and told the audience, "That was the government."
After the show, Cardi B went on Instagram Stories to claim the government was out to get her. She also posted on X, suggesting the video of her fall looked like it was made by AI.
The official DHS account posted, "As long as she doesn't drug and rob our agents, we'll consider that an improvement over her past behavior." The remark referenced Cardi B's 2018 admission on the Unlock'd podcast that she had drugged and robbed men while working as a stripper in New York City.
