The star performed “Bodega Baddie” and “Bodak Yellow” during the hard-hitting set
Cardi B delivered a high voltage performance for the halftime show during Game 3 of the NBA Finals between the New York Knicks and San Antonio Spurs.
The three-minute set kicked off as the Jumbotron’s focused on a group of dancers sporting orange Knicks jersey dresses revealed the rapper to be sitting courtside. Cardi promptly took the microphone and launched into “Bodega Baddie,” a high-speed track off her recent album, Am I the Drama?
As Cardi made her way to center court, the artist, who donned a slick bodysuit for the occasion, delivered her massive chart-topping hit “Bodak Yellow” for the thousands gathered at Madison Square Garden.
The performance started with her sitting in a courtside seat hidden by a group of New York Knicks dancers. Their choreography revealed the artist, who took a microphone and started rapping. While wearing a gray corset top and leggings, Cardi B strutted toward midcourt where she stood on a stage and performed her mega hit “Bodak Yellow.”

Following her performance, Cardi took a courtside seat alongside her four-year-old son Wave to enjoy the second half of the game.
The Grammy winner’s halftime appearance was a welcomed high point of the night after Donald Trump crashed the Knicks’ first NBA Finals appearance since 1999. The president sent Midtown Manhattan and Madison Square Garden into logistical chaos on Monday after announcing last week that he would be attending Game 3 in person. During the singing of the National Anthem, Trump was loudly booed out by the fans in attendance.
