In true Cardi style, the hitmaker briefly showcased her exotic dance moves as she grabbed the heel of a giant stiletto shoe, which was designed to resemble a strip pole.
Likewise with “WAP,” she and Megan performed on an oversized bed, in an overt nod to the song’s sexuality.
“WAP,” her collaboration with Cardi, peaked at No. 1 on theBillboardHot 100 on Aug. 21.
Earlier in the night, Megan won the Grammy for best new artist. As she accepted her prize, she froze in shock before taking the stage where she thanked her late mom, who died in 2019.

Cardi Band Megan’s performance came just weeks after Cardi’s “Up” peaked at No. 1 on theBillboardRap Streaming Songs chart. The track peaked at No. 2 on theBillboardHot 100, a feat Cardi admitted she did not expect.
Their Grammys performance also came after Megan appeared on Maroon 5’s latest song, “Beautiful Mistakes.”
With the release of “Up,“Cardi became the first female rapper to debut in the top five of theBillboardHot 100 chart sinceLauryn Hill— who set the record with her smash jam “Doo Wop (That Thing)” in 1998.
Speaking on “Up” during her appearance onThe Tonight ShowStarring Jimmy Fallonlast month, Cardi joked about the meaning behind the song.
“Have you ever taken a poop, right, and it don’t come out?” she said. “It’s just up and it’s stuck. Yeah.”
The explanation is funny, but the rapper, who was namedBillboard’s2020 Woman of the Year, has already dropped nineBillboardHot 100 Top 10 hits since her 2017 music debut. Most recently, “WAP” charted for 24 weeks.
Megan has been nominated for fourGrammy Awardswhile Cardi has been nominated for eight. The latter won the Grammy for best rap album forInvasion of Privacyin 2018.
