She came dripping.
Days after ESPN personality Charles Barkley made lewd comments about the New York Knicks’ breasts, Cardi B celebrated the New York Knicks’ 2026 NBA Finals championship in a risqué new outfit.
The “Bodega Buddy” host turned up the heat on Saturday via her Instagram Stories in a pair of low-rise jeans with a lace-up butt cutout and a long-sleeved top with a plunging bright pink cutout.
She twirled to show off her bold fit and accessorized with an orange Knicks handbag and blue acrylic nails to cheer on her championship-winning team.
Cardi, 33, also accessorized with a diamond necklace and watch.
In a follow-up slide, she shared another sensual video of herself touching her breasts and smiling.
The Grammy Award winner played a key role in the NBA Finals, performing with the Knicks City Dancers during the Game 3 halftime show at Madison Square Garden in New York City on June 8.
Cardi (real name Belcalis Almanzar) wore a plunging bustier and leggings as she sang her hits “Bodak Yellow” and “Bodega Buddy,” bringing everyone to their feet.
She also caught Barkley’s attention, commenting on her performance while hosting “Inside the NBA” with co-hosts Ernie Johnson, Kenny Smith and Shaquille O’Neal.
“I don’t know if it’s that B player. Maybe Cardi D,” the 63-year-old former athlete joked.
“I’m sure they’re not B,” he continued.
Barkley’s remarks drew laughs from his co-hosts, including Johnson, who said, “I don’t know who said it, but I know it wasn’t me.”
“Her initials are incorrect,” Barclay added.
The comment earned Barkley rave reviews from fans, even though Cardi didn’t seem to mind. But the former basketball star refused to apologize and forced ESPN to fire him.
“I have six or seven years left on my contract, and they know I don’t have a chance,” he said on “The Dan Patrick Show.”
“I hope they fire me and have to pay me for the next six or seven years,” the former Philadelphia 76ers player said.
“Who doesn’t get the joke? You can kiss my ass. I’m grateful for the support I’ve received over the years, but if anyone thinks like them, they’re an idiot.”
