Grammy Award-winning rapper Cardi B announced her Little Miss Drama tour, which starts in February and includes a stop in Sacramento.

As part of her 31-city North America tour for her upcoming sophomore album, “Am I The Drama?,” Cardi B will perform at Golden 1 Center on Feb. 25.

Her new album is released Friday with lead singles “Outside” and “Imaginary Playerz.”

The highly-anticipated second album follows a whirlwind of headlines — from the courtroom to her celebrity relationship and pregnancy — building momentum toward the project’s release.

Cardi B beat a civil lawsuit in Los Angeles earlier this month after being found not liable for assault allegations filed by a former security guard and stemming from a 2018 incident.

The trial, which lasted nearly a week, provided viral moments, such as when Cardi B fell asleep in the courtroom, as captured on Court TV, and a comedic back-and-forth with attorneys as she testified under oath.

Her time in the news cycle continued when she announced Wednesday during a “CBS Mornings” interview with Gayle King that she’s pregnant with her fourth child, the first with her current boyfriend, NFL player Stefon Diggs.

“Now y’all know, now y’all can buy my album so I can buy Pampers and diapers and all that type of stuff,” Cardi B told CBS Mornings. “I told y’all. Now go support my album because I’m a mother of four now.”

Her newest album, “Am I The Drama?,” is her first album in seven years following her 2018 debut solo album “Invasion of Privacy,” which won a Grammy Award for best rap album, with songs like “Bodak Yellow,” “Bartier Cardi” and “I Like It,” featuring Bad Bunny and J Balvin.

In the years between albums, Cardi B made waves with songs like “WAP,” featuring Megan Thee Stallion, “Up” and “Wanna Be.”

Her upcoming tour begins Feb. 11 with a performance in Palm Desert. Her Northern California trip starts with the Sacramento concert, followed by a Feb. 27 performance at the Chase Center in San Francisco.

Tickets for her Little Miss Drama tour go on sale to the general public at 10 a.m. Sept. 25.
