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.

Tom Morello has called off two scheduled performances as he focuses on supporting his mother following her recent hospital stay.
In a message shared on Instagram on Thursday, the Rage Against the Machine guitarist revealed that he was flying back to the United States to be with his 102 year old mother, Mary Morello, and help care for her.
"Dear friends, fans and comrades, my dear mom, Mary Morello is back in the hospital and I'm headed home to help look after her," he wrote. "Rocking the UK & Europe with you all this summer has been incredible, and I can't wait to be back with you and continue this movement that we started. With much love, unity and power."
The guitarist had been scheduled to perform at the Tons Of Rock Festival in Oslo, Norway, along with the BBK Music Legends Festival in Bilbao, Spain this weekend.
Earlier this month, Morello also cancelled planned appearances in London and Paris, with ticket holders offered refunds through their original point of purchase. However, he still made it to the Pinkpop festival in the Netherlands.
"I am sorry I had to miss a few shows due to my mom's health," the 62 year old noted. "The incredibly resilient, indefatigable Mary Morello at 102 is now feeling somewhat better and has ordered me back into the fray, charging me with rocking you and fighting fascism six strings at a time."
At this point, Morello has not announced when he expects to return to the stage.
Mary Morello, the musician's mother, built a career as a teacher and activist. She also helped establish the anti censorship organization Parents for Rock and Rap during the late 1980s.
