Cardi B pulled up to a Houston-area Walmart and caused full-blown mayhem as over 1,000 people lined up in the Texas heat just to get a photo with Cardi and snag a signed copy of her new album Am I the Drama?
The mega-pop star hit the Cypress Walmart on Fry Road on September 23 and the scene was anything but chill. Folks were passing out from the heat, medics were on deck, and security was running tight checks on bags and anything sketchy. This wasn’t your average album signing—it felt more like a survival challenge with a celebrity cameo. Sales started at 1 P.M., and the meet-and-greet kicked off an hour later. It ran until 10 P.M., but not everyone who bought the album made it to the front of the line.
It was first-come, first-served, and spots were limited. No phones were allowed for pics either—only the event’s photographer snapped shots, and fans got a private link afterward to download their solo moment with Cardi. Walmart had cooling zones and med teams set up, but the heat still took a toll on the crowd.
This Walmart event was one stop on Cardi’s mini promo tour for Am I the Drama?, which dropped September 19. She’s been going all out with a wild rollout, ditching the usual press run formula and keeping everything unpredictable.
