New Jersey–Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion are set to ignite the stage at the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) with a scorching debut performance of their latest single, “Bongos.” The eagerly anticipated event will take place live at New Jersey’s Prudential Center on September 12th, starting at 8 PM ET/PT.
In 2021, the dynamic duo received five VMA nominations for their chart-topping hit, “WAP.” This unforgettable collaboration earned nods in categories such as “Song of the Summer,” “Video of the Year,” “Song of the Year,” “Best Collaboration,” and “Best Hip Hop.” “WAP” made history by becoming the first female rap collaboration to debut at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and remained atop the charts for four consecutive weeks, achieving an impressive 8x platinum certification in the U.S.
Cardi B, a renowned figure in the music industry, has accumulated 29 VMA nominations over the years. This year, she competes for “Best Hip Hop” against GloRilla, a category she previously won in 2019. She also had the honor of presenting the Vanguard award to Missy Elliott that same year. Cardi B has been a memorable VMA presenter, with a particularly unforgettable moment in 2018 when she humorously unveiled a Moon Person trophy hidden in a baby blanket while teasing her fans with a glimpse of her daughter, Kulture.
The four-time VMA winner’s journey began in 2018 when she received 12 nominations and secured victories in categories including “Best New Artist,” “Best Collaboration” (with J.Lo and DJ Khaled), and “Song of the Summer.” As anticipation builds for the 2023 VMAs, fans can look forward to the reunion performance of “Bongos” by Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion, which promises to be a highlight of the evening. Don’t miss the live broadcast on September 12th at 8 PM ET/PT to witness this unforgettable musical moment.
