Grammy-winning rapper Cardi B brought her vibrant energy and repertoire to the intimate setting of NPR's offices in Washington, D.C., for an unapologetic performance at their 'Tiny Desk' concert. Flanked by a live band and dressed in all black, she kicked off her set with hits like 'Hello,' 'ErrTime,' and 'Let Me Get Some Water.' Cardi also showcased her comedic side during the show, joking about not having crab cakes on her rider list as an homage to Maryland. 

Throughout her performance, which included tracks such as 'Up,' 'AH HA,' and 'Bodak Yellow,' she kept the audience entertained with a variety of songs from her album catalog. The concert concluded with the upbeat hit 'I Like It.' Cardi B has been busy this October, releasing a single titled 'Don't Chart' for Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album on Oct 12 and securing an esteemed Global Woman of the Year award spot at Billboard Canada Women In Music 2026 on November 24.
