Cardi B performs onstage during the 2018 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival Weekend 1 at the Empire Polo Field on April 15, 2018 in Indio, California.

Cardi B will be bringing Bad Bunny and J Balvin with her to the AMA's.

Cardi B hasn't been on the performance circuit that much over the past few months due to the birth of her daughter Kulture. However, that's about to change soon. The Invasion Of Privacy rapper is set to perform at the 2018 American Music Awards next month.

Cardi B, J Balvin and Bad Bunny will be bringing their chart-topping single, "I Like It" to the American Music Awards on October 9th, Billboard reports. This will mark Cardi B's first televised awards show performance since the birth of Kulture in July. The AMA's will also include performances from Mariah Carey, Benny Blanco with Khalid and Halsey, Post Malone with Ty Dolla $ign and Carrie Underwood.

In addition to performing, Cardi B also tied Drake for the most amount of nominations at this year's AMA's. Both artists currently have eight nominations each and are competing against each other in a few categories including Favorite Music Video, Favorite Rap/Hip Hop Song and Favorite Rap/Hip-Hop Artist. J Balvin is also nominated in the favorite Latin artist category.

Cardi B will also be performing at the Global Citizen Festival this weekend alongside The Weeknd, Janet Jackson and more. This will mark Cardi B's first official solo performance since giving birth in July.

In late August, it was revealed that Cardi B wouldn't be performing for less than $300K. Safe to say Cardi secured the bag.
