Budgetary Concerns and Potential Solutions
According to Cardi B, the tour’s budget has been repeatedly revised, creating difficulties in planning. She stated, “We redid the budget, so now it’s just, like, I gotta go find the f**king money, or I would have to put [up] some of my own money for things that I want.” This suggests a willingness to personally invest in the production to achieve her desired vision for the tour.
The “Little Miss Drama Tour” is planned to include performances in cities across North America, including Houston, Detroit, New York, and Chicago, culminating in two consecutive shows at Atlanta’s State Farm Arena.
