She’s gone from rocking Love & Hip Hop to rocking the Video Music Awards.
On Sunday afternoon, during the VMAs pre-show, budding rap star Cardi B commanded the internet’s attention with her stunning white dress, her ~ fire emoji ~ performance and her playful interviews with Charlemagne tha God.
Twitter was obsessed with the rapper behind the summer’s surprise hit song. For looks, she served a creamy white dress with a Madonna-esque cone bra aesthetic.
Aside from serving you goddess in white, she also brought the laughs during a pre-show interview with Charlemagne tha God, where she kinda-sorta addressed rumors that she and rapper Offset are engaged.
How about we take this to the next level?

Cardi B did get some minor criticism for lip syncing during her performance.
This Cardi B performance at the #VMAs is the hardest lip-syncing I’ve seen in a long time

Cardi gotta remember to keep the mic at her mouth when the track is playing. God bless. #VMAs

Cardi B is sure to dominate even more internet conversations as “Bodak Yellow” continues its domination of the Billboard Hot 100.
