Both songs are from the rapper’s latest album, Am I the Drama?
Cardi B returned to Saturday Night Live as musical guest to perform two songs from her latest album, Am I the Drama?
The rapper’s long-awaited follow-up to 2018’s Invasion of Privacy, Am I the Drama? reached the number one spot on the Billboard 200 and was widely acclaimed.
The 33-track album was a “massive comeback triumph” and a “fittingly grand return for a queen who never left the throne,” Rolling Stone‘s Rob Sheffield wrote in a positive review. The production went on to place number 60 on Rolling Stone‘s list of the 100 Best Albums of 2025.
The Bronx native, who last appeared on SNL the same year as Invasion of Privacy, opened with the merengue and dembow-influenced “Bodega Baddie.”
The artist has revealed some of what went on behind the scenes during the writing process for her newest work.
“I’m a different person every single day,” she told Rolling Stone in early 2024. “When I’m in a good mood and I’m with my friends, [I’m] like, ‘Damn, I want my shit to be played in this club.’ But then I might be mad with my man, so it’s like now I want to do this song. But then I want to do a pop record. I want to do my sing-y shit.”
Cardi B’s second song of the night was “ErrTime,” a nominee for Outstanding Hip Hop/Rap Song at the NAACP Image Awards later this month.
The rapper’s first headline arena tour, Little Miss Drama, begins in February on the west coast. The 31-city tour ends in mid-April in Georgia.
