Cardi B is currently traveling across North America with her "Little Miss Drama" tour, and one of her recent stops brought her to Dallas, Texas. During the show, she took a moment to reflect on the long history of sacrifices made by African Americans.
While speaking to the crowd, she gave recognition to her Latino supporters. “Shout out to my Latinos in the building,” she declared onstage, as captured by TikTok user @krystaonthemove. “But remember, you couldn’t be living comfortably in this country if these African Americans didn’t fight for us, motherf*ckers." She continued by naming several Latin American nations including El Salvador, Ecuador, Colombia, Peru, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, and Mexico.
This moment is not unusual for the femcee, who has been very outspoken throughout the tour. Earlier this month while performing in Minneapolis, she also praised local residents for standing up against ICE.
“Minneapolis, you are such a strong city. I’ve been seeing what’s going on in the news, and we wanna say thank you for your resilience, for your resistance,” she said. “I don't know why those motherfckers came to this state. Y'all nas is not p*y. I don't know why they came over here. They must not know how y'all give it up."
Cardi has also delivered some fiery comments during other tour stops. When she performed at San Francisco's Chase Center, she went on a passionate speech that fans believed was aimed at her former partner Stefon Diggs. “It’s called the principle. You can’t be out here playing with a btch like me. There’s na out here praying for a btch like me. You hear me?” she declared. “You ain’t never had a bad btch like this, na. Never in your motherfcking life! None of them btches ain’t fcking with me!”
Afterwards, she addressed the situation on Twitter/X to clear things up, explaining that the speech was not directed at Diggs and that she had only been reciting lyrics from one of her own tracks.
DragonForce have officially introduced Alissa White-Gluz as the band’s newest vocalist, revealing that the former Arch Enemy singer will now perform alongside longtime frontman Marc Hudson as the group moves into a new era.
Her debut performances with the band are happening soon, with White-Gluz set to appear at Florida’s Welcome To Rockville this weekend before joining DragonForce again at Ohio’s Sonic Temple the following week.
The upcoming concerts are part of the celebration marking 20 years since the release of Inhuman Rampage, the 2005 record that pushed DragonForce into worldwide metal success.
The group also revealed that this new version of the band has already started creating new music, hinting at an exciting new direction for the future.
Founding guitarist Herman Li described White-Gluz joining the band as an important new chapter for DragonForce.
He explained: “Alissa joining the band is an expansion of everything we’ve done up to this point."
Li also shared that even after two decades together, the band still feels inspired to keep evolving.
He said: “Together we will honour what made Inhuman Rampage matter, while showing people exactly where we’re going next… She doesn’t just sing, she makes all aspects of our music better. And she sounds incredible live!”
White-Gluz opened up about how excited she is to take on the new role, saying the collaboration already feels creatively rewarding and refreshing.
She said: “I am beyond excited to be bringing such iconic music to life with these amazingly skilled musicians.
“It feels great to showcase all the colours of my voice… in technically challenging, deeply energising, highly addictive songs.”
She also spoke about the continued support from fans over the years and how much it motivates her moving forward.
She said: “I want to keep pushing my boundaries and delivering exceptional music and live experiences to the fans that I cherish so much.”
The news follows a major transition period for White-Gluz, who officially exited Arch Enemy in November before releasing her debut solo single The Room Where She Died later that same day.
White-Gluz spent 12 years as part of the Swedish melodic death metal outfit.
The band's social media statement regarding her exit read: “Arch Enemy have parted ways with singer Alissa White-Gluz. We’re thankful for the time and music we’ve shared and wish her all the best. Wherever there is an ending, there is also a beginning. See you in 2026.”
White-Gluz wrote in her own statement: "After 12 years in Arch Enemy, we have parted ways. I am forever thankful to the thousands of amazing fans I have met along the way. Thank you, Beastligns! I can’t wait to share what I have been working on with you all (some big surprises in store). Stay tuned for big news in 2026 and see you very soon."
White-Gluz’s position in Arch Enemy was later filled by One Human musician Lauren Hart.
