Cardi B closed out her tour on a high note with help from surprise guest Missy Elliott.
On Saturday (April 18), Cardi performed her final, sold-out show of her Little Miss Drama Tour at Atlanta’s State Farm Arena. Late into the performance, the Am I The Drama? rapper suggested she needed some help to keep spirits high until the very end of the night.
“Hold on, I gotta do a vibe check because I don’t hear you motherfuckers. Are you tired?” she asked the crowd. “You wanna go home? Do I need some help to wake y’all up? I think I need some help to wake y’all up. It’s a lot of y’all, there’s only one of me. So I’ma just bring out this motherfucking legend. Ladies and gentlemen, make some noise for Missy Elliott!”
From there, the four-time Grammy winner performed her 2001 hit “Get Ur Freak On” and 2005’s “Lose Control.”
“Are you fucking serious?” Cardi said as Elliott left the stage. “Oh my God, hold on bitch, I’m trying to have a moment. It’s Missy Elliott, bitch, and she came out for me!”
However, the final show of the tour was nearly cancelled after Cardi B had a heated confrontation with staff members from the State Farm Arena hours before she would hit the stage, calling employees “disrespectful” and “fucking rude for no reason” during a brief Instagram Live.
After taking the stage, Cardi addressed the matter, claiming she would rather perform in a parking lot than the State Farm Arena in the future.
Cardi’s Little Miss Drama Tour began in February and ran for 35 shows across major cities in the United States. Although she hinted at a European leg of the tour while speaking to TODAY with Jenna & Sheinelle last month, it seems like the rapper wants to enjoy some downtime first.
“I am feeling very emotional about [the end of the tour]. I kind of want it to be over because I'm a little tired but then it's like, ‘Whoa, what do I do now?’” she said during an Instagram Live last week. “I'm going to take a really, really short break. I don't even think I'm even going on a vacation. I don't even know what I'm going to do. I do want to be outside though, I got to live a little bit. I've been pregnant for two summers straight. So I have to have a little fun.”
