Cardi B is extending her record-setting tour run into Jamaica with her first stadium-headlining concert anywhere in the Caribbean. The Bronx rapper will lead “Cardi B & Friends” at Kingston’s National Stadium on October 18 during BZR WKND.
“Cardi B is one of the biggest artistes in the world, and her first-ever headlining stadium concert in the Caribbean represents a defining moment not only for BZR WKND but for Jamaica’s live entertainment industry. We’re proud to welcome fans from around the world for what promises to be an unforgettable weekend,” organizer Roy “Gramps” Morgan said.
The booking extends Cardi’s road momentum after her Little Miss Drama Tour sold 453,000 tickets and grossed $70 million across 35 dates.
“A lot of people been asking about another leg for a tour, I do want to go on tour real soon. I will ideally like to go on tour, I’ll say about September, October so I could be off November and December and January. However, motherfuckers gotta come correct. I feel like I showed them how much money I could make and could gross,” Cardi said in May.
That level of demand comes from only two official studio albums released across nearly eight years of mainstream fame.
Invasion of Privacy arrived April 6, 2018 and opened at No. 1 with 255,000 units, including 103,000 traditional sales. Its 202.6 million first-week streams set a then-record for a woman, and the RIAA certified it six-times platinum in September 2025.
Am I the Drama? followed September 19, 2025, with 200,000 units and 88,000 traditional sales. Its No. 1 debut made Cardi the only female rapper whose first two albums opened at No. 1 on the Billboard 200.
The album generated 145.72 million opening-week streams, reached triple platinum that November and later passed 14 billion global streams.
Her numbers grew again on August 3 when “WAP” with Megan Thee Stallion earned a Diamond certification representing 10 million certified U.S. units.
“Awww y’all, ‘WAP’ just went Diamond. Me and @theestallion really did that! Love y’all so much, thank you for streaming and making history with us,” Cardi wrote.
The award gave Cardi four Diamond songs, more than any female rapper, alongside “Bodak Yellow,” “I Like It” and “Girls Like You.”
BZR WKND runs October 16-19, with early-bird tickets going on sale August 21, and additional performers will be announced later.
