As Fast & Furious 9 is about to his theatres in India soon, the makers have taken the excitement up another level by releasing a small video featuring the pop star, where she spills the beans about her character, Leysa, and how she came to be involved with the movie.
In the video, Cardi B says, “Vin Diesel reached out, and he was talking about a role. I’m like, ‘It’s freakin’ Fast & Furious. Get me there, put me on a plane!’ I like the fact that I’m representing such a powerful, strong woman.” The clip then cuts to Cardi B acting on set and getting geared up for a few of her action-packed scenes. She adds, “Being around Vin, he’s just so nice, so dope. He makes you feel so comfortable. I’m just so excited.” Watch the video below:
