Cardi B captivated the audience at ESSENCE Festival in New Orleans on Friday, delivering a high-energy performance. The 33-year-old rapper showcased her figure in a daring fishnet bodysuit paired with a latex harness. Complementing the edgy outfit, she wore thigh-high latex boots adorned with silver chains and a neon yellow wig styled in ringlets.

For a second look during her set, Cardi B changed into a striking red and yellow bodysuit. This ensemble was accessorized with long glittering gloves and heeled boots, maintaining the show's glamorous theme.

The performance comes shortly after Cardi B faced backlash for a social media post where she displayed a collection of luxury handbags. In a video shared on TikTok, the rapper showed off several Chanel items, including a mini lambskin handbag valued at $8,400 and a green caviar leather Hobo bag with a resale price of $10,500.

The rapper's post last week did not go down well, after she joked she has 'no money' while giving her fans a glimpse at her recent Chanel haul valued well over $50,000.

She also presented red and black stretch boots with a gold heel and white cuffs, featuring the signature interlocking C logo, stating she needed to "wear something fly when I save New York City." A blue vanity bag with a Superman-inspired enamel logo, priced at $3,575, was also featured. Cardi concluded her showcase with a burgundy giraffe flap bag, estimated to be worth $29,500 on resale websites.

Cardi B, who has an estimated net worth of $100 million, jokingly remarked in the video that she had "no money" and that her possessions were "all an illusion." These comments reportedly drew criticism from some fans who expressed dismay at her apparent wealth. The rapper's performance at ESSENCE Festival highlighted her stage presence and fashion choices.
