Cardi B brought the stars out in Los Angeles for her pair of sold-out Kia Forum shows. Later, the Grammy-winning rapper thanked Am I the Drama? collaborators Kehlani and Tyla for popping out and always having her back with a heartfelt post to her Instagram Stories on Tuesday night (Feb. 17).

Cardi referred to Kehlani as “one of the baddest b—hes in California” and welcomed her to the stage to perform their “Safe” collaboration at Monday’s show (Feb. 16). The Bronx native then briefly headed backstage to give Kehlani a moment to perform her Grammy-winning “Folded” track solo.
Kehlani later took to IG on Tuesday to give Cardi and her team their flowers for putting on “one of the best shows” she’s ever seen.
“One of the best shows i’ve ever seen in my life, one of the most incredible house hold names of our time,” Kehlani wrote. “BRAVO @iamcardib EVERY SINGLE PART of this show rocked me. @itsbankhead you are absolutely out of your mind, @kollincarter you are absolutely out of your mind.”
She continued to gush: “I’ve been watching this undeniable thing build for years, from Ring to Safe and you will always have me in your corner Big Bardi! you are A SUPER STAR. i was emotional as hell for you. i laughed, i cheered, i lost my voice. there ain’t a day on this earth you gon shine and i wont be cheering! EVERYBODY PLEASE GO SEE THIS SHOW IT WAS 11/10 !!!”
Cardi B returned the favor, showing her appreciation to Kehlani for continuing to show up for her time and time again. “Kehlani!!! You’re such a beautiful soul a talented artist and amazinggg performer!! Your reaction to my show meant the world to me! I can’t thank you enough for always showing up and giving me the most genuine love and support,” Cardi wrote in an IG Story.
Tyla also blessed the Kia Forum with her presence. The Queen of Amapiano performed her “Nice Guy” collaboration with Cardi B, which landed on Bardi’s sophomore album, Am I the Drama?, as well as her 2025 hit “Chanel.”
“Thank u mama @iamcardib,” Tyla captioned her IG photo dump featuring her performing with Cardi and the adventures of NBA All-Star Weekend across Los Angeles.
“Tyla babyyyy!! You bring the perfect energy to any stage thank you so much for bringing it to mine! Soo pretty and soo talented… You deservre all the Chanel and more,” Cardi replied in her own Story.
In addition to Kehlani and Tyla, Cardi also brought Blueface and GloRilla as surprise guests during the L.A. shows. There could be plenty more on the way, with the Little Miss Drama Tour hitting Portland, Ore., on Thursday (Feb. 19) before heading north of the border.
