Cardi B returned to the BET Awards stage Sunday night with a performance of tracks from her most recent album, Am I the Drama?, including “Pretty & Petty,” her pointed diss track aimed at Bia.
Taking the stage at Los Angeles’ Peacock Theater with vibrant red hair, the Grammy-winning rapper delivered a high-energy medley packed with songs from the album. She kicked off the set perched atop a motorcycle suspended at the center of the stage, spinning around a stripper pole before launching into the performance.
The set followed Teyana Taylor’s introduction of Janet Jackson, who was honored with the BET Ultimate Icon Award, and came just months after Cardi B wrapped her Little Miss Drama Tour in April.
