Waiting for Cardi B to seem on stage felt almost so long as ready for her to embark on her first tour.
The Grammy-winning rapper’s Little Miss Drama Tour — her first solo headlining area outing since debuting in 2016 — stopped at Atlanta’s State Farm Arena on Friday night time. It was the first of her two shows in Atlanta. She’ll carry out once more Saturday night time, which concludes the tour.
