Cardi B to Host the 2021 American Music Awards!

The 2021 American Music Awards are going to be more than okurrr!

On Tuesday, it was announced that Cardi B will host the upcoming music ceremony, set to air live from the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles on Sunday, November 21.

“When I received the invite to host the AMAs, I was so excited,” the “WAP” rapper said in a statement. “I’m ready to bring my personality to the AMAs stage.”

AMAs executive producer Jesse Collins also said in a release, “We are immensely excited to have the dynamic Cardi B bring her infectious energy to the American Music Awards as a first-time host. She will excite the viewers, push the limits and deliver a show that will be remembered forever!”

After the exciting news went viral, Cardi fans couldn’t contain their excitement!

“Cardi just saved the AMA’s,” one Twitter user wrote.

“I haven’t watched the full award show in years, but THIS is something I [will] tune into from start to finish,” a commenter said.

“CARDI HOSTING THE AMAS THIS YEAR. About to watch that show i think for the first time ever,” another added.

In addition to hosting the event, the MC is nominated for a number of awards, including favorite hip-hop song and video for her track “Up,” as well as favorite hip-hop artist.

Prior to this year’s festivities, Cardi is a five-time AMA winner who made history when she became the first female rapper to win favorite hip-hop song twice.

At the 2018 awards, Cardi performed her jam “I Like It” alongside J Balvin and Bad Bunny.

For our special and spooky Halloween show last week, our very own Adrienne dressed up as Cardi when the rapper announced her pregnancy with daughter Kulture during a 2018 performance on “Saturday Night Live.”
