Ahead of her performance, Mario Menounos, who hosted the event, caught up with Cardi on the red carpet. “When I was on set, they [the cast] were treating each other like they were family, and I was like, ‘I wanna be part of this family,'” Cardi said of her time filming the movie.
As for her role? — “I have a little small scene in this saga right here and let me tell you something, it be cold, it really be cold,” she teased. “There’s a lot of running around and the action you see in the movie, they be doing it in real life. I was like, ‘I feel like I’m in a war zone!'” She also noted that she can’t wait to see the trailer, which was released during the event. Cardi added, “I can’t wait to see how I look!”
Cardi’s in Miami for a slew of performances and appearances during Super Bowl LIV weekend. But, the F9 event was extra special for the rapper, who is now part of the Fast family. Back in October, Fast & Furious veteran, Vin Diesel revealed the big news that Cardi will star in the new film in a video post on Instagram.
“Day 86 [of filming] here on the set of ‘Fast 9,'” he said in the clip, which showed him sitting next to Cardi on set. “I know I’m exhausted,” he admitted. Cardi appeared to be dressed in a black protective vest, believed her character’s attire.
Diesel added, “We all gave every single thing we could for this movie. Put it all on the table,” Cardi agreed. “I’m tired,” she said. “But I can’t wait. I ain’t gonna front, I think this is gonna be the best one.”
Not much else is known about Cardi’s role in the new Fast & Furious 9. The rapper made her movie debut in 2019’s Hustlers, in which she played a stripper alongside Jennifer Lopez, Constance Wu, Lizzo, Lili Reinhart and Keke Palmer. The Golden Globe-nominated film follows a group of strippers, led by Ramona (Jennifer) who plot together to scam wealthy Wall Street men after becoming fed up of being exploited at their jobs. F9 — the 10th installment of the Fast & Furious franchise — hits theaters this May.
