Cardi B says that she won’t perform again at Atlanta’s State Farm Arena after an apparent dispute with the venue’s staff.

During her Saturday (April 18) stop at the arena for her Little Miss Drama tour, Cardi told the audience that she was frustrated with some behind-the-scenes happenings.

“I’m pissed off right now, I’m not going to lie,” she told fans. ”This arena been playing a lot of fucking games with me. This will be the last time I’m ever in this bitch. Next time, I’m having my concert in the parking lot.”

The rapper continued on, practically yelling. “I’m tired of y’all playing with me. This is y’all fucking second time. I still fuck with the Atlanta Hawks though.”

Check out Cardi’s brief rant below.

Cardi went live on Instagram ahead of her performance and expressed how upset she was with the venue staff, warning that she’d cancel the show if the issue wasn’t addressed.

"Your fucking employees are being disrespectful … I'm not performing today," Cardi said while demanding to speak with higher management. "We got in here, your employees are being fucking rude for no reason, being rude for no reason. I feel a certain type of way because you being disrespectful. I did 35 shows, and I never had a problem, and we've been kind to everybody."

Cardi also took to X with a message to the venue’s staff.

"When you hold power and authority, use it with kindness and respect," she wrote. "Never abuse it… because not everyone will endure your arrogance in silence. Treat others exactly like you demand to be treated. Atlanta… I'll see you soon."

Saturday’s show was the second of two nights that Cardi performed at the State Farm Arena. During the previous night, her show featured surprise appearances from artists including T.I., Jeezy, and Mariah the Scientist.
