00:05 brought the heat on the VMAs stage.
00:07 The rappers performed their new song, "Bongos,"
00:09 at the awards show and pulled out all the stops.
00:12 Cardi kicked off the number in the most epic way,
00:14 descending from the ceiling in a glittering blue bodysuit.
00:17 She rapped as bongo players drummed
00:19 and then joined a group of dancers,
00:20 showing off her incredible moves as the crowd went wild.
00:23 Then Megan joined and amped up the energy even more.
00:25 She and Cardi danced together
00:27 and got everyone out of their seats,
00:28 including Lil Nas X, Taylor Swift, and Ice Spice.
00:31 When they finished their performance,
00:33 Cardi's husband Offset gave them a standing ovation.
00:35 "Bongos" marks the duo's second collab
00:37 following the success of "WAP."
00:38 During the VMAs pre-show, Cardi talked to MTV
00:41 about getting to join forces with Megan.
00:43 - I mean, she's just a beautiful person.
00:44 She's an amazing artist.
00:46 I don't really (beep) with a lot of people.
00:48 She's one of the people that I mess with.
00:50 She has stayed thorough with everything,
00:52 and I just love her, and we work so great together.
00:54 She's hardworking, I'm hardworking,
00:56 and when we have visions, she trusts me,
00:59 and I trust her, and I just love that.
01:01 - She also reacted to the positive reception
01:03 "Bongos" has gotten.
01:04 - Congratulations on "Bongos."
01:05 - Thank you.
01:06 - This song's been out a matter of days.
01:08 The reception's been so incredible.
01:09 Even an artist as big as you,
01:10 you gotta be a little nervous when you come back.
01:12 How has the reception meant?
01:13 - I mean, I'm always nervous when I come back,
01:14 but then it's like, I don't mind.
01:16 People love it, so whatever.
