Cardi B teases ‘tricks up her sleeve’ in Fast and Furious 9 and we bow down to new action queen
Cardi B has teased that her Fast and Furious 9 character has ‘tricks up her sleeves’.
The I Like It rapper, 28, has joined the star-studded cast for the latest instalment of the action franchise – which is released in UK cinemas on June 24.
She is starring as Leysa opposite Vin Diesel, John Cena, Michelle Rodriguez and Jordana Brewster in the flick.
Ahead of the film hitting the big screen, she opened up about the role, revealing that Vin (Dominic Toretto) reached out to nab her for a part.
‘Vin Diesel reached out and he was talking about a role… And I’m like, it’s freaking Fast and Furious, get me there, put me on a plane,’ she said.
‘I like the fact that I’m representing such a powerful, strong woman. She’s just that b***h.
‘Being around Vin, he’s just so nice, so dope, he makes me feel so comfortable that I’m just so excited.’
‘Leysa is such a badass,’ she added, warning, ‘I got little tricks up my sleeves for you motherf*****s.’
We are seriously excited.
Little else is known about Cardi’s role in the film – and she recently confessed she hasn’t actually seen her scenes yet, so she probably isn’t the best person to ask.
Fast 9 will follow on from the events of The Fate of the Furious, which was released in 2017 and saw the gang travel around the world for justice.
The movie will see Dominic Toretto (Vin) and his family face off against his younger brother Jakob (John) who has teamed up with their enemy Cipher (Charlize), and who holds a personal vendetta against his sibling.
Fast and Furious 9 will be released in UK cinemas on June 24.
