Cardi B continues to stand among the biggest names in hip hop today. Although she has sparked mixed opinions throughout her career, there is no denying the mark she has made on the genre. With the release of her album Am I The Drama?, she has once again delivered a collection of songs that quickly became fan favorites.
On Sunday, Cardi B had the opportunity to showcase several of those tracks during her performance at the BET Awards. The ceremony is taking place in Los Angeles and has already generated plenty of excitement. Much of that buzz has also come from Druski, who is serving as the host for this year's event.
Following Teyana Taylor's Icon Award presentation by Janet Jackson, Cardi B energized the crowd with an exciting medley. As seen below, she performed "Errtime," "Hello," "Check Please," and "Pretty & Petty" as part of her set.
Cardi B is only one of several major performers taking the stage tonight. Rick Ross, Max B, French Montana, Don Toliver, Raye, Kehlani, along with many other well known artists, are also performing throughout the evening. The BET Awards have built a reputation for delivering memorable live performances, and the 2026 ceremony is proving to be no exception.
At this point in the show, only two awards have been announced. Leon Thomas earned the honor of Best Male R&B/Pop Artist, while Kehlani took home the award on the women's side. Considering the outstanding music both artists have released recently, many fans would agree these wins were well deserved.

Taylor Swift believes Nashville has a music scene that stands apart from anywhere else.
The 36 year old singer moved to Nashville, Tennessee, when she was young to chase her dream of becoming a country music star. After being inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame on Monday (26.10.26), Taylor took the opportunity to recognise the city and the talented writers who have helped shape its music scene.
In her acceptance speech, Taylor said: "I believe you really get to master a craft by doing it again and again. That's exactly what the incredible songwriters in this wonderful town do every day."
Taylor also spoke about what makes Nashville such a special place for musicians.
The award winning singer, who ranks among the best selling music artists of all time, said: "You won't find another music community quite like this one. Trust me, I've checked them all."
Taylor also shared how being part of Nashville's songwriting scene had taught her valuable lessons about life and working with others.
She joked: "I've learned to be flexible when your co writer turns up with a hangover, or when they need to spend ages talking about their divorce before we can even get started on a song."
Taylor previously spoke about how Faith Hill and Shania Twain inspired her decision to move to Nashville.
Speaking to Time magazine, the singer said: "I couldn't get enough of watching TV biographies about Faith Hill and Shania Twain, and I realised they had both moved to Nashville to get their careers started. After that, I kept asking, pleading and begging my parents to take me there.
"When I was 11, my mum took my brother and me to Nashville during spring break, and we spent the trip driving around Music Row. She stayed in the car while I rushed into record companies one after another, giving my demo CD to the receptionists. I found it fascinating that so many major record labels were gathered along a single street, often inside little buildings and old houses.
"What really stayed with me was how welcoming people were to newcomers and complete strangers like us. We started visiting Nashville more often, and when I was 13, I received an offer for a development deal from a major record label. That was when my parents finally agreed to leave Pennsylvania and move with me."
