Overview
- At her Feb. 11 tour kickoff at Acrisure Arena in Palm Desert, Cardi B told the crowd she would "jump" ICE agents and said she had "bear mace in the back."
- The Department of Homeland Security responded on its official X account: "As long as she doesn't drug and rob our agents, we'll consider that an improvement over her past behavior."
- Cardi B replied on X: "If we talking about drugs let’s talk about Epstein and friends drugging underage girls to rape them. Why yall don’t wanna talk about the Epstein files?"
- Fan-shot clips of the onstage remarks circulated widely online, drawing both praise and criticism across social platforms.
- The Little Miss Drama Tour, her first arena headlining run supporting Am I the Drama?, continues through April with no reports of legal action tied to the comments, as coverage links her stance to broader artist opposition to ICE.
