The City That Never Sleeps was alive with the sound of unapologetic female empowerment as Meg Thee Stallion, Cardi B, and GloRilla took over Slate in New York City for an electrifying afterparty following their sold-out Hot Girl Summer Tour stop at Madison Square Garden.

The energy was palpable from the moment the doors opened, with fans eagerly awaiting the chance to see their favorite female rap superstars in an intimate setting. As the night progressed, the crowd’s anticipation reached a fever pitch, and the stage was set for an unforgettable performance.

Meg Thee Stallion, the undisputed queen of the “Hot Girl” movement, commanded the stage with her signature confidence and boundless energy. Clad in a dazzling ensemble that highlighted her curves, she effortlessly navigated through her chart-topping hits, from the infectious “Savage” to the sexually-charged “WAP” collaboration with Cardi B.

The Houston native’s performance was a masterclass in raw talent and stage presence, as she seamlessly blended her impeccable flow with electrifying dance moves that had the crowd roaring in approval. Meg’s ability to captivate an audience is truly unparalleled, and her aura of unapologetic self-assurance was infectious.

As the set progressed, the crowd’s energy reached a crescendo when Cardi B, the Grammy-winning superstar, joined Meg on stage for a dynamic rendition of their chart-topping hit “WAP.” The two powerhouses fed off each other’s energy, creating a synergy that was nothing short of electric.

Cardi, never one to hold back, delivered a performance that was equal parts sultry and ferocious. Her commanding presence and unwavering confidence were a perfect complement to Meg’s relentless stage presence, and the two artists seamlessly traded verses, creating a visual and auditory spectacle that left the audience in awe.

But the night’s surprises were far from over, as rising star GloRilla, the Memphis-based rapper whose hit “F.N.F. (Let’s Go)” has taken the industry by storm, joined Meg and Cardi on stage for a rousing performance that showcased the depth and diversity of female rap talent.

GloRilla’s gritty, no-nonsense delivery and unapologetic lyrical content were a perfect foil to the more melodic styles of Meg and Cardi, and the three artists blended their unique styles to create a truly unforgettable moment that had the crowd singing and dancing in unison.
