Cardi B is not only a talented Grammy-winning rapper, but in recent years, she has also made efforts to expand her acting career, both in television and film. Most recently, she took on a cameo role in Fast And Furious 9. This is clearly an extremely interesting challenge for this brave and “playful” female rapper.
Cardi B’s cameo was teased in 2019, when Vin Diesel shared a video of himself appearing with her on the set of F9 . This isn’t Cardi B’s first appearance in a Hollywood film . She previously starred in Hustlers and had a relatively impressive performance. However, the American rapper’s participation in F9 still came as a surprise to fans.
Cardi B recently shared that she was extremely excited to participate in this project, however, she was a bit scared to act with Vin Diesel. Specifically, the owner of the hit WAP shared: “You know, Vin Diesel always plays a very serious guy. I was very scared, but he’s so cute, so fun, he makes you feel very comfortable, and that’s great for me.”
In addition, Cardi B also shared that Vin Diesel always encouraged and helped her on set. This really helped her feel more comfortable participating in a big project like F9 . After finishing filming her scene, Vin Diesel proactively approached the female rapper, praised her performance and affirmed that he was very happy and proud of this performance.
Obviously, if an actor receives praise from Vin Diesel, a veteran actor and has become an icon of the Fast and Furious franchise , this is a very encouraging thing. According to the actor, the main reason for Cardi B’s appearance is his daughter, as she is a fangirl of the female rapper and wants to see her father and idol appear together on screen.
In F9 , Cardi B plays Leysa, an old friend of Dom’s who seemingly owes him a favor and helps him out of a tight spot. Despite only having a cameo role, meaning she didn’t get much screen time, the rapper made a good impression on more than just Diesel. In June 2021, the actor revealed that Cardi B’s role as Leysa would be retained for the upcoming season 10.
Currently, there is not much information about part 10 of Fast And Furious , so fans can completely look forward to the collaboration of Cardi B and Vin Diesel in the future. As expected, Fast And Furious 10 will be released in April 2023.
