Cardi B is hitting the road next year. The “Imaginary Playerz” rapper announced her 2026 Little Miss Drama tour on Tuesday morning (Sept. 16) during her stint co-hosting Today with Jenna & Friends. After host Jenna Bush Hager requested a drum roll, Cardi — dressed in a morning chat appropriate lavender floor-length dress — shouted, “I’ll be headed to 30 cities across North America. Cardi B’s going on tour,” pumping her arms and letting out a whoop as she shared the news about her first-ever headlining arena tour and fist significant run of shows in six years.

“After the whole album run I’m going straight to rehearsal,” she told Bush Hager of her plans to get ready for her first major tour since 2016 and her first all-arena solo outing. “Every single day! I’m going to be working out — I hate working out, but I gotta do it,” she added with an eye roll. At press time no support acts have been announced.

The tour will support Cardi’s long-awaited “spicy” sophomore studio album, Am I the Drama?, which is due out on Friday (Sept. 19). On Monday, the rapper revealed that the LP will feature eight guest artists: Cash Cobain, Janet Jackson, Kehlani, Lizzo, Megan Thee Stallion, Selena Gomez, Summer Walker and Tyla. So far, she’s released two singles from the collection, the Hot 100 top 10 “Outside” and the Jay Z-sampling “Imaginary Playerz.

“It’s spark, it’s tears, it’s fun, it’s outside!” Cardi teased on Today about the follow-up to her smash 2018 debut LP, Invasion of Privacy.
