Cardi B gave Miley Cyrus‘ aughts classic “Party in the U.S.A.” new life during a recent stop of her Little Miss Drama Tour.
In a now-viral moment, the “WAP” rapper floats above the crowd while expressing love for her fans. She then, out of nowhere, bursts out an a cappella rendition of “Party in the U.S.A.” — but with a twist.
“There’s a party in my pus-say,” the rapper belts to raucous applause from the audience. In case anyone didn’t hear it the first time, Cardi then sings the refrain one more time.
A video of the scene was shared to X by Cardi B fan pages and pop culture news accounts like PopCrave. The clip, of course, has garnered mixed reactions. Some fans laughed at the remix, with one going so far as to tag Cyrus, suggesting, “we need a remix.” Meanwhile, detractors responded by saying that Cardi’s take on the song was “trashy” and that Miley should sue.
As for the song’s original singer, Cyrus has not yet responded to “Party in the U.S.A. (Cardi’s Version).”
This is not the first viral moment from the Little Miss Drama Tour. Amid an online feud between the rapper and the Department of Homeland Security, Cardi addressed ICE directly during the tour’s opening night on Feb. 11. “Bi—! If ICE comes in here, we gon’ jump they a–es,” she said to major cheers from the crowd. “I’ve got some bear mace in the back! They ain’t taking my fans, bi—.”
Just two days later, while performing at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Cardi took a tumble off a chair during “Thotiana.” She recovered effortlessly, continuing the song and joking about what happened as soon as she stood up. “That was the government!” she exclaimed while pointing at the offending chair. The next day on X, she replied to a PopCrave post about the moment saying “Can someone put a community note on this ? This video is clearly Ai.“
Cardi will resume the Little Miss Drama Tour this week with more California dates, in Sacramento and San Francisco, before continuing her cross-country adventure and concluding in Atlanta on April 18.
