Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion are returning to the MTV Video Music Awards stage!
It was announced on Saturday that the rappers will perform at the annual awards show, which will air live from the Prudential Center in New Jersey on September 12 at 8pm EST.
Cardi, 30, and Megan, 28, are set to perform their new collaboration “Bongos,” which marks the two Grammy winners’ first follow-up since their hit “WAP” — which they performed together during the 2021 VMAs.
That year, the pair received five nominations for the scrappy single, including Song of the Summer, Song of the Year, Best Collaboration and Best Hip Hop, plus the highly coveted Video of the Year.
Cardi and Megan will join other musicians confirmed to perform at this year’s VMAs, including Anita, Demi Lovato, Doja Cat, Karol G, Kelsea Ballerini, Lil Wayne, Måneskin, Olivia Rodrigo and Stray Kids.
Sean “Diddy” Combs and Shakira, who were honored with the Global Icon Award and the Video Vanguard Award, respectively, will also perform.

Cardi and Megan’s latest collaboration is available to buy and stream on Friday.
The song, which features Latin-infused beats, was released alongside a music video that features the duo dancing on the beach and near a pool in extravagant outfits, accessories and bright backdrops.
In the colorful visual, Cardi wore a variety of outfits, including a large hat with teal feathers and an orange bikini top, while Megan wore a multicolored green one-piece jumpsuit in one of her looks, along with a gold yellow swimsuit with a matching gold skirt.
The rappers matched outfits near the end of the video, wearing cherry-colored swimsuits.
The 2023 MTV Video Music Awards — hosted by Nicki Minaj (who will also perform) — is set to air live on September 12 at 8pm EST.
