Cardi B and Offset opening the show at the 2019 BET Awards was the perfect optics to drive conversation.

The Migos rapper first took the stage with a medley of the couple’s song “Clout” and Bardi’s smash single, “Press.” Offset stunned the crowd with his choreography and the Michael Jackson influence was evident in his moves.

When it was Cardi’s turn to take the stage she didn’t disappoint, mimicking the same moves she and Offset did for the music video to “Clout.” Going into “Press,” over the song’s tantalizing beat a voice, sounding exactly like the press, repeating Cardi and Offset’s names was loud and clear.
