Cardi B is set to return to SNL for a fresh performance before she kicks off her anticipated tour.
On Thursday, January 7, NBC's "Saturday Night Live" announced this month's upcoming guest hosts and performers. Bardi is set to perform at the end of January while actor Alexander Skarsgård hosts the show. Her set will follow anticipated appearances by Teyana Taylor and A$AP Rocky, who will perform the day after his long-awaited album Don't Be Dumb drops. The "Bodega Baddie" will hit the stage at Studio 8H less than two weeks before her "Little Miss Drama Tour" begins in Palm Springs.
Cardi B will hit up 30 major cities in North America, including Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Portland, Vancouver, Houston, Denver, Detroit, New York City, Toronto, Boston, Philadelphia, and more. The "Outside" spitta will close out the U.S. leg of her tour in Atlanta on April 17. Since she gave birth to her fourth child, the Grammy Award-winning rapper has been doing everything possible to prepare for her first headlining tour, from hitting the gym to extensive rehearsals.
Earlier this week, Cardi B jumped on Instagram Live and gave her fans a couple of updates before the tour begins. She explained that her team recently redid the budget for the extravagant trek and said she's currently over budget by "a couple of million."
“I’m over a couple of million on my budget tour,” she revealed. “We redid the budget, so now it’s just like I gotta go find the f**king money, or I would have to put some of my own money for things that I want because I went over my budget. I feel like we do the budget every other week and s**t. It’s just, like, a lot. On top of that, it’s a lot of dance moves that I gotta do and I’m just ready to go home. I don’t know what it is about L.A., but I don’t like being in L.A. anymore.”
“I ain’t no damn Beyoncé, so don’t be expecting any of that," she added. "I don’t got that production money, but b***h, I’m gonna give it all I got. I’m working hard, I’m popping it. This tour is catered to BardiGang, and to people who are not even BardiGang but are some type of fan of mine or just wanna have a good time.”
Look out for Cardi B's SNL performance on January 31.
