Waiting for Cardi B to appear on stage felt nearly as long as waiting for her to embark on her first tour.
The Grammy-winning rapper’s Little Miss Drama Tour — her first solo headlining arena outing since debuting in 2016 — stopped at Atlanta’s State Farm Arena on Friday night. It was the first of her two shows in Atlanta. She’ll perform again Saturday night, which concludes the tour.
