Cardi B attended the New York Knicks game Monday night not only as a spectator but also as a performer.
She took to the court at Madison Square Garden during halftime, performing “Bodega Baddie” from Am I the Drama? and her breakout hit “Bodak Yellow” from her debut album, Invasion of Privacy. She was joined by dancers dressed in Knicks jersey dresses.
Following her performance, Cardi sat courtside with 4-year-old son Wave, though she was not impressed with her seats.
“They got me right next to the opps! But I’mma be nice, ’cause I know this is a lot for them,” she joked on her Instagram Story.
While Cardi’s performance didn’t air during the game’s TV broadcast, it was available via the premium NBA League Pass broadcast.
Avery Wilson, who has been performing “The Star-Spangled Banner” during most of Knicks’ 2026 postseason, once again sang the national anthem.
The night ended with the Knicks losing to the San Antonio Spurs, 111-115.
