At the sold-out opening night of her 'Little Miss Drama' tour at Acrisure Arena in Palm Desert, California, rapper Cardi B incited the crowd against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, vowing violence if they entered the venue to detain fans.
Video footage captured the moment after Cardi B performed a snippet of Selena’s “Como La Flor” and shouted out Mexican and Guatemalan fans in the audience. She then declared, “Bitch! If ICE comes in here, we’re gonna jump they asses.”
The performer, whose real name is Belcalis Almánzar, escalated her remarks by adding, “I’ve got some bear mace in the back! They ain’t taking my fans, bitch.” The crowd erupted in response to her provocative statements during the February 12, 2026, concert.
Cardi B repeated the call to action, stating, “If ICE come in here we’re gonna jump they a**es,” as shared in a video clip posted by Pop Base on X, formerly Twitter, with the embed link pic.twitter.com/91LNBV96QK.
