EXCLUSIVE: Cardi B Set for Super Bowl Moment With Bad Bunny as Halftime Guest
Cardi B was crashing out on Twitter yesterday after users on the platform began making disturbing accusations about members of her family. And Cardi did not hold back. The rapper, who currently has a two-month-old baby at home and is also preparing for a major world tour, still found time in her packed schedule to clap back hard at critics.
But while the internet was focused on the drama, Media Take Out has learned that something far bigger is quietly lining up behind the scenes.
According to two insiders who spoke directly with Media Take Out, Cardi B has agreed to perform at this year’s Super Bowl.
Yes, you read that right.
For Super Bowl LX in February 2026, which will take place in the Bay Area at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Bad Bunny is set to headline the halftime show. But we are told he will not be taking the stage alone. Sources say Bad Bunny plans to bring out special guests during his set, and Cardi B is locked in as the featured surprise performer.
If you know the culture, you already know the moment they are planning.
Bad Bunny and Cardi B, along with J Balvin, created the massive global hit “I Like It,” one of the biggest songs of both of their careers. The track dominated radio, streaming, and pop culture, and remains a crowd-favorite years later. Our insiders say that is the song being eyed for the halftime moment, with Cardi stepping out mid-performance to send the stadium into a frenzy.
And that is not all.
Media Take Out was also told that Jay-Z, who helps curate and oversee creative direction for the NFL’s entertainment programming, personally supported the move to feature Cardi. According to our sources, Jay saw the moment as both culturally powerful and strategically smart.
“It’s going to be a huge look for her,” one insider told us. “The timing is perfect.”
And they are not wrong.
Cardi is set to kick off her highly anticipated world tour just one week after the Super Bowl. A halftime appearance on the biggest stage in the world would be the ultimate promotional rocket, putting her in front of more than 100 million viewers right as ticket sales and tour buzz peak.
While Cardi was busy yesterday addressing internet chaos, the bigger play was already being made behind closed doors.
Fans have been speculating for months about what Cardi’s next era would look like. She has kept a relatively low musical profile recently while focusing on family and business, but sources close to the situation say that is all about to change. The Super Bowl appearance is reportedly part of a broader rollout strategy leading into new performances and upcoming releases tied to her tour.
Bad Bunny’s headlining slot is already being billed as one of the most globally focused halftime shows in recent history, blending Latin, hip-hop, and pop at a massive scale. Adding Cardi B only raises the stakes.
And the internet is going to lose its mind when it happens.
As of now, neither Cardi B nor the NFL has publicly confirmed the appearance. But multiple insiders tell Media Take Out the deal is done, rehearsals are being discussed, and the creative direction is already in motion.
So while timelines were busy dragging Cardi yesterday, it looks like she has the last laugh.
From Twitter clapbacks to the Super Bowl stage in front of the entire world, Cardi B is about to remind everyone exactly who she is.
And if our sources are right, February 2026 is going to be one for the history books.
