While the New York rapper's been busy working on her second album and doing community service hours, she had to pop out for Glo's show.

Cardi B just gave a surprise performance at GloRilla's tour stop in the former's home city of New York. Even though the "WAP" MC has no shortage of public occurrences and McDonald's meals, she's been a bit away from the spotlight. Moreover, she's hard at work on her second album, spending family time, and fulfilling community service hours. However, she made an exception for the Memphis rising star's Anyways, Life's Great tour. Furthermore, Cardi surprised a venue full of fans at her home city in Irving Plaza.

While Glo performed alongside "ratchet ass friends" like Aleza, Gloss Up, K Carbon, and Slimeroni, there's always room for one more. Of course, Cardi and GloRilla performed their Billboard hit, "Tomorrow 2," and people were going crazy in the venue. Also, Offset's boo cheekily preempted her appearance by proclaiming to "always get [her] lick, boo" as she emerged from backstage. However, that's not the only surprise the "F.N.F." hitmaker had in store for fans in the Big Apple. She also brought out rising star Lola Brooke, who might be the next breakout sensation this year following Glo's footsteps. Moreover, Brooke performed her viral hit "Don't Play With It," building off of a lot of excitement surrounding her career.

Cardi B Performs With GloRilla On Her Tour

Meanwhile, Glo's tour only has three stops left on her list before it wraps up. Tonight (February 23), Boston fans will witness her live spectacle. She'll hit Philly and Washington, D.C. on Friday the 24th and Saturday the 25th, respectively. However, it hasn't all been peaches and cream for Glo when it comes to live appearances. Recently, she faced backlash for showing up to a club for a hosting gig, while promoters wanted a performance. The Oakland crowd threw water at her as she went through the venue, and she addressed the situation shortly after.

“Ain’t no h* spit on s**t!!!!!!” she tweeted after her reception went viral. “Ask dat h* how ha face feel doe. No way you think I’m performing when you paid for a hosting, crazy tail self.” Also, Yo Gotti said that the promoters didn't pay them enough for a proper performance, so something fishy might've gone down. Regardless, check back in with HNHH for the latest news and updates on Cardi B and GloRilla.
