Rapper Cardi B will be in this summer’s Fast & Furious 9 playing a character she’s described as being “bad a**” and “that b*tch” in a new film preview. She said she was originally contacted by Vin Diesel to which she responded, “He was talking about a role and I was like, ‘It’s freakin’ Fast & Furious. Get me there! Put me on a plane!'”
Cardi, whose real name is Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar is playing the role of Leysa, “a woman with a connection to Dom’s past.” Dominic Toretto is played by Vin Diesel, who’s also a producer for the film series. “I like the fact that I’m representing such a powerful strong woman,” Cardi added. “She’s just that b****… Leysa’s such a badass.” She added, “I remember when I saw Ludacris in Fast & The Furious, then to see Don Omar, it makes the hood have hope.”
“Being around Vin, he’s just so nice, so dope. He makes you feel so comfortable. I’m just so excited.” Others stars to join the cast are John Cena, Charlize Theron, Nathalie Emmanuel, Ludacris and Michell Rodriguez.
And not only is Cardi winning by staying busy, she’s got some pretty good gifts coming in as well. Kodak Black shared a custom diamond bracelet he got her recently. Specially designed by Philadelphia-based Shyne Jewelers with a handful of iced-out charms, it came with one for her daughter Kulture that looks like a Birkin bag that read Cardikay. He captioned it “Cardi B I Hope You Like Yo Bracelet.” For those who may be missing context, he helped write Bodak Yellow and we’re sure the money made from this diamond selling single is the motivation for this purchase.
