Nearly seven years since making her sold-out local arena debut, Grammy-winning rapper Cardi B will return to headline Minneapolis’ Target Center on March 12.

Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Sept. 25 via Ticketmaster. Citi cardholders and Verizon customers have access to a presale that runs from 7 a.m. Sept. 22 through 7 a.m. Sept. 23. Another presale opens up at 10 a.m. Sept. 23 to those who register at signup.ticketmaster.com/cardib by 10 p.m. Sept. 21.

The woman born Belcalis Marlenis Almanzar first started turning heads with a series of viral videos she posted to Vine and Instagram in 2013. Two years later, she joined the cast of VH1’s “Love and Hip Hop: New York” and quickly became the show’s breakout star. After two seasons, Cardi B left the show to focus on her career.

She made her recording debut as a guest on a remix of Shaggy’s “Boom Boom” in 2015 and issued a pair of mixtapes that earned the attention of Atlantic Records. The label released her debut album “Invasion of Privacy” in 2018 and watched her first eight singles go multi-platinum, including “Bodak Yellow,” “I Like It” and “Please Me.”

The Grammys took note of Cardi B’s rising star as she was nominated for five awards, including album and record of the year. She went on to become the first female rapper to win best rap album as a solo artist.

After releasing the infamously explicit single “WAP” with Megan Thee Stallion in 2020, Cardi B took time off to focus on motherhood, while expanding into television and fashion. She spent six years, off and on, working on what would become her sophomore album “Am I the Drama?,” which is due out Friday.
