Cardi B was the musical guest on Saturday Night Live last night (January 31), performing “Bodega Baddie” and “ErrTime” off her 2025 album Am I the Drama? On “Bodega Baddie,” the Bronx rapper was joined by renown Dominican accordionist El Prodigio. It was Cardi’s first time performing on SNL since 2018. You can watch both performances below, as well as a Cardi cameo in a sketch alongside Marcello Hernandez and host Alexander Skarsgård.
“It’s such a honor for me to perform on one of the most prestigious stages in America…SNL with THEE @elprodigiord !” she wrote on Instagram following her performance. “Bringing real Dominican sound, real Dominican culture, infused with the sounds and culture of the Bronx!”
