Cardi B & Megan Reunite in Houston

Released in August 2020, "WAP" debuted at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, securing Cardi B her fourth chart-topping single and Megan Thee Stallion her second. The track broke streaming records, accumulating 93 million U.S. streams in its first week alone, the most ever for a song in its opening week. The collaboration was the first female rap duet to debut at the top of the Billboard Hot 100. The song's explicit lyrics and sexually empowering themes sparked widespread public discourse and controversy. While it drew criticism from conservative figures, "WAP" was also praised by many for its celebration of female sexuality and agency. The accompanying music video, featuring cameos from stars like Kylie Jenner and Normani, broke the YouTube record for the biggest 24-hour debut for an all-female collaboration. Despite the track's massive success, rumors of a feud between the two artists began to circulate, often fueled by their respective fan bases. However, both Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion have publicly denied any animosity. Cardi B has explained that any initial distance was due to her own shyness and not a reflection of any conflict. The Houston performance took place at the Toyota Center on March 4, 2026, during Cardi B's "Little Miss Drama Tour". The sold-out crowd erupted when Megan, a Houston native, rose from a trap door on the stage to perform her verse. The duo also performed their other collaboration, "Bongos," during the surprise appearance. This reunion was not their first on-stage surprise. In a reciprocal move, Cardi B joined Megan Thee Stallion during her "Hot Girl Summer Tour" stop in New York City in 2024 for a performance of "WAP". The energetic Houston performance was met with a strong positive reaction from fans, with many taking to social media to express their excitement about the reunion. The event reaffirmed the powerful chemistry between the two artists and their continued musical partnership.
