Cardi B delivered a high voltage performance for the halftime show during Game 3 of the NBA Finals between the New York Knicks and San Antonio Spurs .

The three-minute set kicked off as the Jumbotron’s focused on a group of dancers sporting orange Knicks jersey dresses revealed the rapper to be sitting courtside. Cardi promptly took the microphone and launched into “Bodega Baddie,” a high-speed track off her recent album, Am I the Drama?

As Cardi made her way to center court, the artist, who donned a slick bodysuit for the occasion, delivered her massive chart-topping hit “Bodak Yellow” for the thousands gathered at Madison Square Garden.

The performance started with her sitting in a courtside seat hidden by a group of New York Knicks dancers. Their choreography revealed the artist, who took a microphone and started rapping. While wearing a gray corset top and leggings, Cardi B strutted toward midcourt where she stood on a stage and performed her mega hit “Bodak Yellow.”
