How Coco Jones Honored Whitney Houston in Super Bowl 2026 Performance

Cardi B is dripping in finesse at Super Bowl LX.

Although the rapper didn't perform “I Like It” with Bad Bunny during his Halftime Show, she did make a subtle appearance on stage at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif., Feb. 8. 

Cardi—whose boyfriend Stefon Diggs and his New England Patriots are playing against the Seattle Seahawks for the Vince Lombardi Trophy—joined celebrities including Pedro Pascal, Karol G, Alix Earle and Jessica Alba to dance onstage to his song "Yo Perreo Sola."

And she made sure to make a winning wardrobe statement in honor of the occasion, sporting a beige corset minidress that showed off her thigh tattoo while grooving to the beat alongside Karol G, who stunned in a white webbed lace dress. 

While Cardi—who welcomed a baby boy with Stefon, 32, in November—has been busy preparing for her upcoming Little Miss Drama tour, the 33-year-old has attended several Patriots games this season, a gesture which has gone a long way with the NFL wide receiver.

“As a significant other, I really appreciate it,” he told reporters during the Super Bowl Opening Night press conference Feb. 2. “When I was a kid, my mama never came to my games. My mama had to go to work.”

Calling Cardi “an amazing woman" at a January press conference, Stefon noted, “I never want to not let her know that I appreciate her for being there. Not just for the games—her being there for the games was more so [because] she wanted to experience it—but she supported me [even] when she wasn’t there.”

Of course, Cardi—who is also mom to kids Kulture, 7, Wave, 4, and Blossom, 17 months, with estranged husband Offset—has been one of Stefon’s most vocal public cheerleaders leading up to the big game. Moments after the Patriots secured their Super Bowl spot, she detailed why her boyfriend’s professional feat was particularly astounding to her.

“He just came back from an ACL [injury],” she said in an interview with the NFL Network in January, “and me seeing the progress and the process of him, from the first time he started running back, and now joining the Patriots and then actually going to the Super Bowl, I’m very excited for him. Very excited for the whole team. They been working they butts out.”
