The pair’s almost-reunion comes after the “Be Careful” rapper, 26, told her fans in late July that she haddropped out of performingin Mars’ 24K Magic World Tour in order to spend more time with her daughter Kulture Kiari and give her body time to recover after giving birth just 16 days earlier.
Cardi welcomed Kulture Kiari on July 10 alongside husband and fellow rapperOffset.
“As of today, I’ve decided I won’t be joining Bruno on tour this Fall,” Cardi wrote on social media on July 26. “I thought that after giving birth to my daughter that 6 weeks would be enough time for me to recover mentally and physically.”
“I also thought that I’d be able to bring her with me on tour, but I think I underestimated this whole mommy thing,” she admitted.
There were no hard feelings from the “24K Magic” singer, 33, who shared his own message on Instagram following Cardi’s post.
“A Message for Cardi,” the post began. “Most important thing is you and your family’s health. I know the fans will understand. You are absolutely doing the right thing.”
Cardi and Mars, who broke the internet withtheirIn Living Color-inspired videofor the remix of Mars’ tune “Finesse,” last entertained a crowd together when they tore up the 60th AnnualGrammy Awardsstage over a year ago to perform their collaboration.

“I want to thank you Soo much ! I don’t even know how !” she captioned a shot of the performance on Instagram. “Maybe one day you’ll need a kidney 😂I got you 💪🏾.”
