Cardi B recently made a public appearance during a Juneteenth celebration in New York City. The rapper was photographed leaving ARUA 57 after spending the evening at the event, where she was seen accompanied by security personnel. For the outing, Cardi B chose a fitted mint green mini dress featuring a jaguar print design. The outfit included a plunging halter neckline and a structured silhouette. She completed her look with diamond jewellery and white ankle strap heels. Her hair was styled in long black waves as she exited the venue.
The appearance comes shortly after Cardi B was announced as one of the performers for the upcoming 2026 BET Awards. She is set to perform alongside several other artists, including Doechii and Queen Latifah. MC Lyte will return as the announcer for the event.
The 2026 BET Awards will be hosted by Druski and will take place at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles. The ceremony is scheduled to air live on Sunday, June 28, on BET and other participating networks.
Cardi B remains one of the most recognised names in the music industry and continues to make headlines through both her music and public appearances. Her latest outing attracted attention from fans and media, especially as anticipation builds for her appearance at the upcoming awards show.
Earlier this month, Cardi B was also involved in a public exchange that drew attention online. Reports suggested that tensions between Cardi B and fellow rapper Latto had become a topic of discussion after an alleged leaked phone call circulated on social media. In the recording, Cardi B was reportedly heard using strong language while referring to Latto.
