In a recent social media outburst, rapper Cardi B expressed her frustration over slow ticket sales for her upcoming tour in several Midwest cities. Known for her candid and often humorous approach, Cardi called out cities like Minneapolis, Kansas City, and Denver, questioning why fans in these regions were not purchasing tickets at the same rate as those in other markets.
During a live stream, Cardi highlighted the disparity between ticket sales in the Midwest and in cities like Houston, New York, and Los Angeles, which are nearly sold out. “Why y’all tour tickets moving slow? Huh? Minnesota. Kansas City. Denver, Colorado,” she exclaimed, indicating her disbelief that these cold-weather cities were lagging behind in ticket sales. Cardi jokingly suggested that perhaps the chilly climate was affecting her fans’ willingness to attend her shows, saying, “Y’all need coats or something to go to my tour.”
Cardi’s comments came as a surprise to many, especially since she had previously enjoyed sold-out performances in these same Midwest locations. “I actually did a Cardi B tour in the Midwest, and it sold out right away. So what the [expletive] is going on now?” she lamented, expressing her concern that her connection with fans in these areas might be weakening.
While Cardi remained upbeat about her tour’s overall success, she did not hold back on her disappointment. “It’s funny because everywhere else is doing really good,” she noted, pointing out that cities in Texas, for instance, were selling out fast. “They want to see me over there. They saw me get [expletive] two days ago. They like, ‘Bitch, come back in.'”
In a bid to rally her Midwest fans, Cardi urged them to purchase tickets, emphasizing her commitment to delivering an unforgettable performance. She also took the opportunity to engage with her audience, referencing her love for North Carolina, where ticket sales were better. “North Carolina doing good. It’s like 55-60% sold out. Let’s make it 100 by tomorrow,” she challenged her fans.
Cardi’s vibrant personality shone through as she mixed humor with her concerns, even joking about her own past experiences in the region. “When I went to see Beyoncé over there, y’all was all happy,” she pointed out, comparing the enthusiastic reception she received from fans at other artists’ events.
As Cardi prepares for her upcoming tour, her plea for increased ticket sales in the Midwest has resonated with many. Fans are encouraged to support their favorite artist and ensure that these shows are filled with the energy and excitement that Cardi B is known for. With her unique blend of humor and heartfelt connection, Cardi B continues to engage with her audience, reminding them that their support is crucial for a successful tour.
