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.

A recent poll has found that 41 per cent of UK adults have not played an entire album during the past 12 months.
The findings came from a study commissioned for National Rail’s Track Reset campaign, an initiative created to inspire people to explore music beyond their usual preferences. The survey questioned 2,000 adults across the UK and revealed a concerning decline in the popularity of complete albums as streaming continues to shape listening habits.
Among the participants, 41 per cent said they had not played an album from start to finish over the previous year, while eight per cent revealed they had never listened to one in its entirety. Many respondents also repeatedly returned to familiar music, playing their favourite song an average of 343 times annually. The main reasons included nostalgia and comfort, both cited by 50 per cent, while 65 per cent simply explained, “I like what I like”.
To help audiences discover unfamiliar music, National Rail teamed up with DJ Adriano Desire and music psychologist Dr Ruth Herbert to produce Track Reset. The three minute recording was created to “clear the palette” and help people become more open to exploring different sounds. Hear the piece below.
National Album Day began in 2018 as a celebration of “the album as an art form”, with musicians selected to serve as Album Champions every year. The 2026 edition is scheduled for October 17, and PinkPantheress was revealed as one of this year’s Album Champions in May.
“Music is experienced in ways that are unique to every listener,” the artist shared in a statement. “I love revisiting albums that I discovered at different times in my life, while always keeping an ear out for new sounds. This year, I encourage everyone to do the same for National Album Day.”
