Good news and bad news for Cardi B fans.
The rapper is coming to South Africa, but unfortunately won’t be performing in the Mother City.
Capetonian fans will have to fly to Johannesburg for the one-night-only Castle Lite Unlocks concert taking place at the Ticketpro Dome on 12 June.
The rapper took to Twitter to confirm the news: “SOUTH AFRICA !! Chioma B is coming !!!!....Teach me more bout your country in the comments.(sic)”

The rest of the artist line-up is yet to be announced.
If you missed out on the early bird discount, then tickets to watch the Grammy award-winning rapper will set you back between R690 and R990.

This wouldn’t be the first time the 27-year-old star has touched down on African soil.
Cardi had a jol of a time in Nigeria and Ghana back in December last year.
And she loved her trip so much that, weeks later, she said she would move to Nigeria if US President Donald Trump went to war with Iran.
“... This s*** ain’t no joke ! Specially being from New York .Its sad this man is putting Americans live in danger.Dumbest move Trump did till date ...I’m filing for my Nigerian citizenship(sic),” she said on Twitter.
Let’s hope Cardi doesn’t forget about us Capeys and at least pops down for a visit.
