ATLANTA, Georgia (WXIA) — Cardi B fans showed out in metro Atlanta Monday to greet the rap star as she promotes her new album, “Am I the Drama?”
The event was held at DBS Sounds in Riverdale, where hundreds spread across the parking lot as they waited with the hopes of seeing the rapper. Cardi B released her long-awaited second album on Sept. 19.
Fans were encouraged ahead of time to pre-order the album on the store’s website to secure an RSVP and wristband for entry. The event was part of Cardi B’s nationwide in-store promo tour, where she is returning to old-school marketing to connect directly with fans.
“She has a really strong fanbase and people want to come and see her and show her support and let her know she’s loved in Atlanta,” fan Chrissy Arriaga said.
Another fan said she had been outside since 9 a.m., waiting to see Cardi B.
“It makes me feel pumped,” she said, describing the music artist’s hit records.
She’s also been in the spotlight recently after announcing the news on CBS Mornings last week that she was pregnant, expecting a baby with her boyfriend and NFL player Stefon Diggs.
She’s planning to hit the road next year, with her “Little Miss Drama Tour” that will kick off in February in Palm Desert, California. The tour is expected to wrap up on April 17, right here in Atlanta.
