The movies have a history of punishing pop stars who try to act; just ask Madonna. (Or Justin Guarini and Kelly Clarkson.) But in her relatively short time in the spotlight, rapper Cardi B has been doing alright as a movie star. That’s probably because, so far, she’s kept it modest. You can see her briefly but fairly memorably as one of the non-crime-breaking strippers in Hustlers. And now she’s apparently scoring another small but crucial role, this one in no less than Fast & Furious 9.
The news came, as it occasionally does these days, over Instagram. As noticed by Entertainment Weekly, Vin Diesel took to his account with a video that showed both himself and his soon-to-be-co-star hanging out on the U.K. set of the series’ tenth installment, if you count this summer’s spin-off Hobbs and Shaw.
“I’m tired, but I can’t wait,” Cardi told Diesel’s followers. “I ain’t gonna front, I think this is going to be the best one.”
