Cardi B is adding a stadium show in Jamaica to her touring run, AllHipHop reported. The Bronx rapper will headline "Cardi B & Friends" at Kingston's National Stadium on October 18 as part of BZR WKND, her first headlining stadium concert anywhere in the Caribbean.
Organizer Roy "Gramps" Morgan called it "a defining moment... for Jamaica's live entertainment industry," and said organizers were "proud to welcome fans from around the world for what promises to be an unforgettable weekend."
Cardi herself had signaled the appetite for more shows back in May, saying she wanted to tour again "about September, October" so she could take November through January off. She added that promoters would need to "come correct," pointing to the money she'd already proven she could gross.
The demand traces back to just two studio albums. Invasion of Privacy, released April 6, 2018, opened at No. 1 with 255,000 units, including 103,000 in traditional sales, and its 202.6 million first-week streams set a record for a woman at the time; the RIAA certified it six-times platinum in September 2025. Am I the Drama?, released September 19, 2025, opened with 200,000 units and 145.72 million first-week streams, making Cardi B the only female rapper whose first two albums both debuted at No. 1; it reached triple platinum by November and has since 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," Cardi wrote online. "Me and @theestallion really did that! Love y'all so much, thank you for streaming and making history with us." The award gave her four Diamond-certified songs, more than any other female rapper, alongside "Bodak Yellow," "I Like It" and "Girls Like You."
BZR WKND runs October 16 through 19 in Kingston, with early-bird tickets going on sale August 21 and more performers still to be announced. The show joins the tour guide, MusicSuey's tracker for tour dates, adding to a busy stretch of hip-hop touring news this year.
The Jamaica date lands in the middle of an eventful August for Cardi B, coming days after her song AH HA reached the Hot Rap Songs top 10 and after she told fans that complaining wouldn't speed up new music.
