On December 31, 2024, rap superstar Cardi B ushered in 2025 with an unforgettable countdown and performance at Miami’s renowned hotspot, E11EVEN. Arriving at 11:45 PM under a police escort and joined by a lively entourage, the “Bodak Yellow” artist made a striking entrance. Cardi dazzled in a black lace corset dress adorned with a dark green velvet train cascading from her hip. She completed the look with sleek black matte heels, stunning emerald jewelry, and long, flowing black waves.
Before walking into the club, Cardi paused to take a few pictures after her glam team ensured every detail of her outfit was flawless. A host from the ultraclub took the opportunity to ask her a string of questions:
1. “What’s your New Year’s resolution?”
a. Cardi: “Letting the past be the past and not worrying about shit. What’s in front of me is too good to be worrying.”
2. “Who is your dream New Year’s kiss?”
a. “I don’t know, but let’s see about later tonighttttt,”
3. “What was your favorite moment of 2024:?”
a. “Giving birth to my daughter”
4. “What are you most excited for in the new year?”
a. “My ALBUMMMMMMM.”
Once inside the club, Cardi was seen dancing and singing along to “Work” by A$AP Ferg with her friends, enjoying Hennessy at her table. Sources say she was frequently recording herself and dancing and was just all around happy.
At 11:55 PM, Cardi B took the spotlight on E11EVEN’s iconic center stage, energizing the sold-out crowd for an electrifying countdown. As she stepped onto the stage, the DJ gave a special shoutout to pop culture icon Natalie Nunn, who was celebrating her belated December 26th birthday. Cardi chimed in enthusiastically, shouting, “Happy birthday!” Moments before the countdown began, she hyped up the crowd with her signature flair: “Baddies, baddies, shot o’clock! We are starting the new year drunk. Are you ready to take a shot? Hello? Are you ready to take a shot? 1, 2, 3, let’s take a baddie baddie!” Realizing the countdown on the screen had already started, she quickly pivoted and joined in with a spirited, “Happy New Year!”
Despite not sharing a New Year’s kiss, Cardi was all smiles as she launched into her first live performance of 2025 with her hit song “Bodak Yellow.” Among the crowd was Wyclef Jean, who had arrived about an hour earlier and was seen dancing along to the performance.
Around 12:30 AM, after leaving the stage, Cardi B was joined by Natalie Nunn at her table. According to a nearby insider, the two were spotted twerking together, taking shots of reposado, and exchanging warm hugs. They reportedly spent about 30 minutes celebrating and laughing with friends, moving between Cardi’s table and Natalie’s. At one point, Natalie even lent a hand to help Cardi with a quick wardrobe fix.
Cardi B departed the nightclub around 1 AM, leaving behind a memorable start to 2025.
