Cardi B, who just kicked off her Little Miss Drama Tour in support of her long-awaited sophomore album, Am I the Drama?, is making it clear about what she thinks about ICE officers. The Grammy winner and mother-of-four said she wouldn’t let ICE arrest and detain her Mexican fans.

Cardi B vows to defend her fans against ICE

Cardi B opened her Little Miss Drama Tour in Palm Desert on Wednesday night.

“Mexicans in the building?” she addressed the audience after covering Selena Quintanilla’s “Como La Flor,” as reported by Complex.

“B**ch! If ICE comes in here, we’re gonna jump they asses,” she continued.

The crowd started applauding before Cardi B added, “I’ve got some bear mace in the back! They ain’t taking my fans, b**ch.”

The rapper has been open about her Latin heritage. Her mother is Trinidadian and Spaniard, while her father is Dominican. She was born in Washington Heights (a neighborhood in Manhattan) and raised in the Bronx.

Cardi B has paid homage to her heritage in her music, having rapped in both English and Spanish and having collaborated with Latin artists, including Bad Bunny, J Balvin, Camila Cabello, Shakira, Ozuna and Selena Gomez.

Cardi B has aligned herself with Bad Bunny, a staunch voice against ICE

Cardi B made an appearance during Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show, where she was seen supporting the rapper alongside fellow celebrities Karol G, Jessica Alba and Pedro Pascal. 

“I’m proud of everything that he’s been standing up for against ICE and everything,” Cardi B said in reference to Bad Bunny’s multiple public stances against ICE, according to Complex. “It just feels like everything is aligned right now.

She added, “It just shows how Hispanics, Latinos, we standing. They standing. We all standing.”

Bad Bunny said “ICE out” during his acceptance speech for his Album of the Year win at the 2026 Grammy Awards on Feb. 1. He also echoed Cardi B’s recent concern regarding security for their Latin fans who choose to attend their shows.

“People from the U.S. could come here to see the show. Latinos and Puerto Ricans of the United States could also travel here, or to any part of the world,” Bad Bunny told i-D in a September 2025 interview. “But there was the issue of—like f**king ICE could be outside [my concert]. And it’s something that we were talking about and very concerned about.”
