In true Fast & Furious fashion, the highly-anticipated F9 will have a star-studded cast. But you’ll never guess who rooted for Cardi B’s role in the franchise! On Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Vin Diesel shared that his four-year-old daughter, Pauline, had a hand in casting the “I Like It” rapper in the franchise’s ninth installment.
“John Cena, such a blessing to work with and is so incredible. Obviously, we have Helen Mirren. Obviously, Charlize [Theron]. And my daughter wanted a piece of casting to happen, so Cardi B is in it,” Diesel dished.
“Your daughter said to you ‘Dad, will you put Cardi B in the movie?’ And you said ‘Oh that’s a good idea?’” Kimmel asked—to which Diesel replied “‘It’s a great idea!’ As she’s listening to ‘I Like It Like That.’”
Cardi B made her cinematic debut in 2019 Hustlers alongside Jennifer Lopez, Constance Wu, Keke Palmer and more. What do you think about Vin Diesel’s daughter campaigning for Cardi B? Tune in to see what our Dish Nation hosts think!
