Cardi B Gets Real About Prioritizing Her Health During Little Miss Drama Tour: “I Used to Have a Fridge Full of Sugary Drinks”

Cardi B is putting her health front and center as she hits the road, making it clear that what she drinks is now part of a bigger lifestyle shift.

While performing across the country on her Little Miss Drama Tour, the Grammy-winning rapper says she’s been more intentional about how she treats her body, especially during long stretches of travel and back-to-back shows.

“I’m at a point in my career where everything matters, especially my mental and my [physical] health,” she told People, emphasizing that endurance on tour now requires a different level of discipline.

That change starts with what’s in her fridge. Cardi revealed she’s swapped out sugary drinks for zero-sugar alternatives, explaining, “Where I used to have a fridge full of sugary drinks, I’ve replaced them with Zevia. Now it’s, ‘Hand me a Zevia, when I’m thirsty!’ Not that other s**t.” The decision reflects a broader focus on feeling better physically while maintaining her demanding schedule.

She also connected her drink choices to her overall well-being.

“I want to feel good, I want to look good, and that starts with what I’m putting in my body,” she said. For Cardi, that mindset goes beyond appearances and speaks to longevity in her career and personal life.

At this stage, she’s not just performing but evolving. “I want the best of everything for myself. I deserve it. I worked for it,” she added, making it clear that prioritizing her health is part of claiming that standard.
