Cardi B quite literally rode in hot to the 2026 BET Awards with her electric performance during the Sunday night ceremony.
After arriving on the stage on a sport bike wrapped in lights, the “WAP” rapper performed a mashup of several tracks from her second studio album, Am I the Drama?, which was released last year. The medley featured “Errtime,” “Hello,” “Check Please” and “Pretty & Petty.”
Cardi’s lively set brought the crowd to their feet as she strutted around the stage, surrounded by backup dancers. The artist, sporting fiery red hair and a colorful bodysuit, also jumped on a stripper pole at one point after hopping back on the sport bike.
