After the performance, both artists were seen backstage, taking photos and spending time with singer Ciara. Clips from the show circulated quickly online, with fans highlighting the surprise appearance and the energy inside the venue.
The moment marked a highlight of Cardi B’s ongoing tour, as the New York stop delivered a performance that connected the city’s past and present in a single night.
