Cardi B is not staying quiet about immigration enforcement—and she made that clear from the stage.
During a stop on her Little Miss Drama tour, the Grammy-winning rapper delivered a fiery message aimed at Immigration and Customs Enforcement, warning agents not to target her fans at her shows. In fan-captured video that quickly spread online, Cardi told the crowd that if ICE showed up to detain concertgoers, there would be consequences.
Her remarks came as debate intensifies nationwide over immigration enforcement tactics. ICE has increased operations in certain areas, drawing criticism from advocacy groups that argue the methods are overly aggressive. While there is no official policy targeting concerts or entertainment venues, fears about potential raids at large gatherings have circulated online.
Cardi’s blunt warning immediately sparked reaction across social media. Supporters praised her for defending immigrant communities and speaking up on behalf of vulnerable fans. Critics, however, accused her of escalating tensions and using inflammatory language.
She is not the only artist addressing the issue. Bad Bunny has previously said concerns about immigration enforcement factored into decisions surrounding U.S. tour dates. In interviews, he expressed worry that federal agents could potentially operate near concert venues, a scenario he said made him uncomfortable.
Cardi has long been outspoken about political and social issues, frequently using her platform to weigh in on immigration policy, economic inequality, and voting rights. This latest moment continues that pattern—though the tone of her remarks has drawn particular attention.
As immigration debates remain front and center, celebrities stepping into the conversation are likely to face both applause and backlash. And if Cardi’s onstage warning is any indication, she has no intention of softening her stance.
