Cardi B reveals she still hasn’t watched her Fast and Furious 9 scenes as she teases ‘powerful and strong’ character
Cardi B is super excited to watch herself in action after filming her cameo in the highly-anticipated Fast and Furious 9 movie.
Tuesday saw a new featurette reveal that the WAP hitmaker plays a character named Leysa, who is described as a ‘woman with a connection to Dom’s past’.
Taking to Twitter after the clip dropped, the 28-year-old couldn’t hide her excitement as she told fans: ‘I can’t wait to watch Fast and furious 9. I haven’t seen my scenes yet!
‘That’s the best part about it thooo watching the movie then you see yourself coming in. I’m sooo proud of myself. GOD IS GOOD! Can I get a ALL THE TIME? !!!!’
Fans got to learn a bit more about how Cardi’s appearance in the movie came to be after Universal Pictures released a short video featuring an interview with the Up rapper.
Cardi revealed that star Vin Diesel, who serves as a producer on the franchise, personally invited her to come on board the movie.
‘He was talking about a role and I was like, ‘It’s freakin’ Fast & Furious. Get me there! Put me on a plane!’ she explained with a laugh.
Along with a glimpse of the hitmaker on set with Diesel and director Justin Lin, the Bodak Yellow hitmaker also described her character.
‘I like the fact that I’m representing such a powerful, strong woman,’ Cardi stated, adding: ‘She’s just that b****!’
She continued: ‘Being around Vin, he’s just so nice, so dope. He makes you feel so comfortable. I’m just so excited.’
The next installment in the bankable blockbuster is directed by Justin Lin, the director of the third, fourth, fifth and sixth movies in the franchise.
As ever it will take Dom Toretto (Diesel), partner Letty (Michelle Rodriguez) and their family of petrol heads around the world with location as far flung as Tokyo and London.

The official synopsis from Universal reads: ‘Dom Toretto is leading a quiet life off the grid with Letty and his son, little Brian, but they know that danger always lurks just over their peaceful horizon.
‘This time, that threat will force Dom to confront the sins of his past if he’s going to save those he loves most. His crew joins together to stop a world-shattering plot led by the most skilled assassin and high-performance driver they’ve ever encountered: a man who also happens to be Dom’s forsaken brother, Jakob (John Cena).’
Fans can expect more thrills, spills and supercars as ‘the true meaning of family is be tested like never before.’
F9 will be released to UK cinemas on June 24 and is out in the US the next day.
