Posted by Fast & Furious 9 is slated to finally hit American theaters after a year’s delay on June 25. The action film series released a teaser on Monday (June 15) featuring Cardi B detailing her role as Leysa and how she got involved with some help from Vin Diesel.
“Vin Diesel reached out and he was talking about a role,” she explained. “I’m like, ‘It’s freakin Fast & Furious. Get me there, put me on a plane!’”
The video cuts to Cardi B acting on set and getting geared up for a few of her action-packed scenes. Her character is apparently tied to Vin Diesel’s “Dominic Toretto’s” past and makes her presence felt once again.
“I love the fact that I’m representing such a powerful, strong woman,” the Grammy Award-winner said of her character. “She’s just that bitch. Leysa’s such a badass.”
Cardi gave props to Vin Diesel for making her comfortable on set and later on Twitter admitted she hasn’t even seen her scenes yet, but was proud of herself for starring in the blockbuster.
