MTV’s Exciting News: Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion Set to Perform “Bongos” Live at 2023 VMAs
MTV recently made an exciting announcement, revealing that Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion will be performing their latest track, “Bongos,” live at the upcoming 2023 VMAs. This news sparked immediate curiosity among fans, who couldn’t help but wonder how this performance would unfold, especially with Nicki Minaj hosting the star-studded event.
On a Monday last week (September 4th), the renowned “Anaconda” rapper unveiled the cover art for her upcoming album, just moments after Cardi B shared the artwork for her new collaboration with Megan Thee Stallion. While it may have been a mere coincidence, social media was abuzz with speculation, with fans contemplating whether this was yet another twist in the ongoing, subtle rivalry between these two prominent New York-born emcees.

On social media, a curious fan asked, “Who’s going to introduce them?” Someone else chimed in, saying, “With Nicki hosting, this is going to be quite intriguing. I’m all set. And now, it gives even more reason to perform ‘RRDS,’ haha.” Another user wondered, “Does this imply that Nicki will be announcing their names since she’s the host?”
