Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion are set to perform their new collaboration “Bongos” at the 2021 MTV Video Music Awards. This will be the first time the rappers will perform together since their hit song “WAP” debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. The duo received five nominations for “WAP,” including song of the summer, song of the year, best collaboration, best hip-hop, and video of the year. Cardi B, a proud native of the Bronx, New York, explained in an interview with MTV that hip-hop was made to express the struggles and pain of people in her region, and without it, she wouldn’t be here. The VMAs will feature other musical performances, including Demi Lovato, Doja Cat, Lil Wayne, and Nicki Minaj as the host. Shakira and Sean “Diddy” Combs will also perform and be honored with global icon and video vanguard awards, respectively.
