Cardi B, the Grammy-winning rapper, is intensely working out just weeks after giving birth to her fourth child, as she prepares for her upcoming Little Miss Drama Tour kicking off in February 2026. On December 13, 2025, the 33-year-old shared Instagram footage of her cardio routine from a gym treadmill and stationary bike, emphasizing her commitment to tour readiness despite recent motherhood. According to HOLA!, Cardi declared in the video, “I told y’all imma be getting ready for tour! Anytime! ANY PLACE,” while promoting ticket sales for the tour, which begins February 11 in Palm Desert, California, and wraps April 17 in Atlanta[1]. HOT 97 corroborated her postpartum fitness start, noting an earlier November 20 Instagram Story of a stairmaster session recorded November 13, where she described it as her “official first day” back, aiming to rebuild strength for her joints and endurance ahead of arena shows[2].
Cardi B’s workout videos reveal a deliberate, multifaceted approach to reclaiming her performance physique. In the HOLA!-reported December clip, she transitioned from a brisk treadmill walk—while wearing all-black attire and a headscarf—to a stationary bike session, multitasking promotion with humor: “It is Christmas, it is Kwanzaa, it is Hanukkah, and get your tickets now because in January don’t be hitting me up like, ‘Cardi, there’s no tickets left.’”[1]. She referenced an upcoming Saudi Arabia concert and joked about her post-baby weight loss being due to “stress,” aligning with her signature candid style. Separately, HOT 97 detailed her stairmaster routine exceeding 20 minutes, followed by squats, with goals of sustaining an hour on the machine; Cardi captioned it “Tour journey with me,” acknowledging her age at 33 as an “ol’ lady” needing gradual recovery[2]. These sessions, shared directly via Instagram, underscore her shift from postpartum recovery to high-stakes tour prep, just one month after delivery.
This fitness push comes amid significant personal milestones for Cardi B, whose fourth child—a son and her first with NFL star Stefon Diggs—was born on November 4, 2025, per HOLA![1]. She announced the baby publicly around November 19, sharing a photo of him in New England Patriots gear honoring Diggs, which garnered over four million likes, as reported by HOT 97[2]. Cardi shares three older children with ex-husband Offset, while Diggs has two daughters from prior relationships[1]. In recent reflections posted last month, she described her evolving life chapters, including new music, an album, and self-commitment, stating, “This next chapter is Me vs. Me,” fueling her gym and mind prep for “the performance of a lifetime”[1]. Her relationship with Diggs has provided stability, as she noted in a prior CBS Mornings appearance, crediting him for bolstering her confidence amid album rollout pressures[1].
Cardi B’s proactive tour training signals a powerhouse return, blending motherhood, romance, and music ambition in a career defined by resilience. The Little Miss Drama Tour—her first major outing since welcoming the newborn—promises high-energy shows across dozens of cities, with fans urged to secure tickets early. This chapter reinforces her dominance in hip-hop, where physical and mental stamina are as crucial as lyrical prowess, setting the stage for what could be one of her most demanding runs yet[1][2].
