Lopez first previewed the song during her set at Calibash in January 2018 , which took place at the Staples Center in Los Angeles . She included it as part of a dance medley with " Bitch Better Have My Money " by Rihanna and " Bodak Yellow " by Cardi B. Lopez officially performed " Dinero " for the first time at the 2018 '' Billboard '' Music Awards which took place at the MGM Grand Garden Arena on May 20 . She wore a " bedazzled " bustier and white pants , later sporting a white blazer and fedora to complete the look . She was surrounded by a group of " '40s era gangster-styled dancers " . Khaled , surrounded by piles of money , appeared on a separate stage to introduce Lopez ; Cardi B was not present due to her pregnancy , but appeared via a black-and-white video . Leila Cobo of '' Billboard '' said the performance was " ridiculously fun to watch " , calling it " A lot of bling , a lot of style , some kick-ass dancing ( JLo does not disappoint ) and a whole lotta cash flying around " . '' Refinery29 '' writer Kathryn Lindsay stated that " the multi-hyphenate proved she 's going back to her roots with a passionate and colorful performance " , but noted : " The one thing people did n't like about the performance ? DJ Khaled . The artist was there , seemingly , to throw around money and yell some of his signature phrases during the song , but fans just wanted more J.Lo . " Lopez and Khaled later performed " Dinero " as part of Lopez 's medley during the 2018 MTV Video Music Awards on August 20 , 2018 at Radio City Music Hall in New York City , where she was also awarded the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award
