Watch Cardi B Blaze Through Her No-Brakes Tiny Desk Performance
Developing story first seen 1 hour ago
Cardi B delivered an unusually brisk NPR Tiny Desk Concert, performing eight songs in 18 minutes with little of the banter for which she is also known. The set gave her tracks a fresh sound and highlighted her ability to keep the performance moving.
A nine-piece band added rock-influenced arrangements to songs including “ErrTime”, “Up” and “Bodak Yellow”. Cardi briefly praised her musicians and joked about the absence of Maryland crab cakes in her rider. The performance follows her 2025 album *Am I the Drama?* and the one-off tracks “Ah Ha” and “Don’t Chart”.
