Cardi B BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Cardi B owned the spotlight these last few days after hosting the WWE’s SummerSlam 2025 at MetLife Stadium—her first major foray into the sports entertainment world. According to TMZ, Cardi turned the event’s opening night into a runway, strutting in a dramatic feathery black outfit, hyping up 50000 screaming fans, and receiving a pre-show pep talk from Triple H before the lights came on. With global streaming on both Peacock and Netflix, this marked the first two-night SummerSlam, and Cardi’s hosting gig immediately went viral—various Instagram reels and X posts raved that she brought more theme, energy, and social media fire than most WWE stars. Cardi didn’t just emcee; she also used the platform for a very public reveal, previewing a new track from her highly-anticipated second album titled Am I The Drama, set for release on September 19, as reported by Foxy99 and Hindustan Times. The single is already causing buzz online, with Billboard quoting her on-stage riff: “We’re making history tonight because this is the first ever two-day SummerSlam. Yeah!” Her infectious attitude reportedly even had WWE stalwarts and fellow performers like Logan Paul and Randy Orton singing her praises.

This event caps weeks of Cardi teasing the album and new ventures—including in her own Instagram posts, which also reference upcoming business moves, some involving private chefs and high-profile partnerships in Paris supported by Airbnb. This is part of a broader strategic delay on her part: as she told AOL recently, she’s intentionally avoided touring or signing new music deals throughout 2024 to save the headline moments for her sophomore album. The approach, plus relentless social media and viral WWE appearances, keeps Cardi firmly in the public eye.

As for headlines, everywhere from TMZ to Stylerave blasted that Cardi was the “undisputed queen of SummerSlam.” Instagram and X trended with #SummerSlam and #CardiB immediately after she performed, with fans and insiders calling her performance the most viral moment of the year—some even comparing her energy to past crossovers by Bad Bunny and Travis Scott. There are currently no credible rumors of controversy, though fans speculate about collaborations based on her WWE socializing; at this point, those remain unconfirmed. The consensus from this debut: Cardi B has not only cemented her pop culture stardom but also signaled that the next phase of her career is primed for another takeover.
