Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion brought the heat to the 2021 Grammy Awards on Sunday (March 14).
However, before hip-hop's favorite ladies hit the Grammy stage as a duo, the two performed a few of their chart-topping hits separately.
First up was Megan, who first performed "Body" before transitioning to her Grammy-winning, Beyonce-assisted track, "Savage." Next up was Cardi, who performed her latest single "Up." Finally, the two rappers came together to perform 2020's hottest (and most controversial) track, "WAP" for the first time live.
Living up to its title, Cardi and Megan turned up the heat for their set as they danced atop, and at some points, rolled around a giant bed while rapping the explicit track.
**Cue real hot girl shhhhhhh 🤫

Ahead of Megan's first Grammy performance, the Houston native won the highly-coveted Best New Artist Award, beating out Doja Cat, Noah Cyrus, Ingrid Andress, Phoebe Bridgers, Chika, D Smoke, and Kaytranada.
The award marked Megan's second win of the day as she earned a Grammy for Best Rap Performance for her Beyonce-assisted single “Savage.” Their win marked the first time two women have ever won the award.
Meg later won the Grammy for Best Rap Song alongside Queen Bey.
