Cardi B almost canceled her final tour stop at Atlanta’s State Farm Arena Friday night following a clash with what she described as “disrespectful” venue employees.
The rapper took to Instagram Live from backstage to air her frustrations, claiming staff members were being rude, pointing fingers, and “touching people for no reason.”
During the tense standoff, Cardi threatened to scrap the entire performance, telling the room to “go get your boss” and stating she refused to perform under those conditions.
Cardi noted that after 35 successful shows on her “Little Miss Drama Tour,” this was the first time she had encountered such behavior, emphasizing that her team had been “kind to everybody.”

Despite the backstage drama, Cardi eventually took the stage over an hour late, opening her two-hour set with the hit track “Hello” to a relieved crowd.
She addressed the delay during the show, maintaining her connection with the audience by declaring that Atlanta is “still my city” and pushing through the rest of the performance.
