Cardi B Reflects On Bomb Threat That Postponed Indianapolis Concert

During her latest stop on her Little Miss Drama Tour, Cardi B offered more insight into the alleged bomb threat that led to her postponing a show in Indianapolis years prior. Over the weekend, while performing at the city’s Gainbridge Fieldhouse, the rapper took a moment to remind the crowd of the frightening encounter. According to Cardi’s recollection, the threat came just moments before she was slated to perform.

While she can laugh at it now, the rapper admits that at the time she was very frightened. “They sent a terroristic threat! They said they was gonna bomb our show,” Cardi told the crowd. “I was like, ‘Hold on, muthaf*ckers. They want to bomb me?’ B*tch, I was scared! And everybody online was cursing me out, saying that I was lying and sh*t. But I would never do that to y’all. I would never cancel on y’all. But safety first, muthaf*ckers!”

Cardi B Praises Minneapolis Protesters During Concert: ‘Thank You For Your Resilience’

In other news, during her tour stop in Minneapolis, Cardi B made a point to applaud those in the crowd who participated in the anti-ICE protests earlier this year. For several weeks, the organization violently occupied the city, leading to multiple raids, as well as the deaths of several individuals, including Renee Good and Alex Pretti. “You are such a strong city, ” Cardi said to the crowd. “I been seeing what’s going on in the news, and we wanna say thank you for your resilience [and] your resistance.”

As the crowd roared, Cardi continued, “I don’t know why muthaf*ckas came to this city. Y’all n*ggas is not p*ssy. I don’t know why they came over here, they must not know how y’all give it up.” According to FOX9 in Minneapolis, at the height of “Operation Metro Surge,” at least 4,000 federal officers were deployed to the city. Following backlash from residents and multiple protests across the country, thousands of agents were withdrawn; now only a “small force” of around 400 agents remains.
